The following are some comments of scientists on the scientific miracles in
the Holy Quran. All these comments has been taken from the video tape This is
the Truth. In this videotape you can see and hear the scientists while they
are giving their following comments.
1) Dr. T.V.N. Persaud is a Professor of Anatomy and Head of the Department of
Anatomy, and a Professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, University of Manitoba,
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is well known in his field. He is the author or
editor of 25 books, and has published over 181 scientific papers. In 1991, he
received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in
Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists. When
he was asked about the scientific miracles in the Quran, which he has
researched, he stated the following:
"It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He could not read
or write. In fact, he was illiterate. We are talking about fourteen hundred
years ago. You have someone who was illiterate making profound pronouncements
and statements and that are amazingly accurate about scientific nature. I
personally cannot see how this could be a mere chance There are too many
accuracies and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind in concerning
that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these
statements."
Professor Persaud has included some Quranic verses and Prophet Muhammad’s 
sayings in some of his books. He has also presented these verses and Prophet
Muhammad’s
sayings at several conferences.
2) Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is a Professor and Chairman of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. He
was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,
University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He is President of the
American Fertility Society. He has received many awards, including the
Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award
1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad :
"In every one of you, all components of you creation are collected
together in your mother’s womb by forty days..."
"If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, Allah sends an angel
to it, who shapes it and create its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and bones.
Then he says, "O Lord, is it male or female?" and your Lord decides
what He wills..."
He studied these two Prophet Muhammad’s
sayings extensively, noting that
the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of
embryo-genesis. He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and
accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad . Then during one conference he
gave the following opinion:
"So that the two Hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) that
have been noted can provide us with a specific time table for the main
embryological development before forty days. Again, the point was been made
repeatedly by other speakers this morning that these Hadeeths could not have
been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the
time of their recording.... It follows, I think, that not only there is no
conflict between genetics and religion, but in fact religion can guide science
to be valid, which supports knowledge in the Quran having been derived from
God."
3) Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is a Professor and Chairman of the Department of
Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute,
Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He has authored
more than 200 publications. He was president of the Teratology Society. In 1981,
during the Seventh Medical Conference, in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor
Johnson said in his presented research:
"In summary, the Quran describes not only the development of external
form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of
its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by
contemporary science... As a scientist, I can only deal with things, which I can
specifically see. I can understand embryology, developmental biology. I can
understand the words that are translated to me from the Quran. As I gave the
example before, if I was to transpose myself into the era, knowing that I knew
today in describing things, I could not describe the things, which were
described. I see no evidence for the fact to refute the concept that this
individual, Muhammad, had to be developing this information from some place. So
I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was
involved in what he was able to write"
4) Dr William W. Hay is a professor of Oceanography, University of Colorado,
Boulder, Colorado, USA. He is a well-known marine scientist. After a discussion
with Professor Hay about the Quran’s mention of recently discovered facts on
seas, he said:
"I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the
ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they
would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and
this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages."
And when he was asked about the source of the Quran. He replied: "Well, I
would think it must be the divine being."
5) Dr. Gerald C. Goeringer is a Professor and Coordinator of Medical
Embryology in the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown
University, Washington DC, USA. During the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor Goeringer stated the following in the
presentation of his research paper:
"In relatively few Aayahs ( Quranic verses) is contained a rather
comprehensive description of human development from the time of the commingling
of the gametes through organogenesis. No such distinct and complete record of
human development such as classification, terminology, and description existed
previously. In most, if not all, instances, this description antedates by many
centuries the recording of the various stages of human embryonic and fetal
development recorded in the traditional scientific literature."
6) Professor Yushudi Kusan is the Director of the Tokyo Observatory, Japan,
He said:
"I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in Quran,
and for us modern astronomers have been studying very small piece of the
universe. We have concentrated our efforts for understanding of very small part.
Because by using telescopes, we can see only few parts of the sky without
thinking about the whole universe. So, by reading Quran and by answering to the
questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation of the
universe."
7) Dr. Tejatat Tejasen is presently the chairman of the Department of Anatomy
and is the former Dean of the faculty of Medicine, University of Chiang Mai,
Chiang Mai, Thailand. During the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia, Dr. Tejasen stood up and said:
"In the last three years, I became interested in the Quran.... From my
study and what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that
everything that has been recorded in the Quran fourteen hundred years ago must
be the truth that can be proved by the scientific means. Since the Prophet
Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed
this truth which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the one who is
eligible creator. This creator must be God, or Allah. I think this is the time
to say La ilaha illa Allah, that is no god to worship except Allah (God),
Muhammad rasoolu Allah, Muhammad is Messenger (Prophet) of Allah (God).
Lastly, I must congratulate for the excellent and highly successful conference.
I have learned not just from the scientific knowledge in the conference but also
the great chance of meeting many new scientists and making many new friends
among the participants. The most precious thing that I have gained from coming
to this conference is La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah, and to
have become a Muslim."
After all these examples we have seen about the scientific miracles in the
Holy Quran and all these scientists’ comments on this, let us ask ourselves
these questions:
- Could it be a coincidence that all this recently discovered scientific
information from different fields was mentioned in the Quran, which was
revealed fourteen centuries ago?
- Could this Quran have been authored by Muhammad
or by any other human
being?
The only possible answer is that this Quran must be the literal word of
Allah, revealed by Him.
