“And remember when your Lord took (the pledge) from the progeny of Adam, their children from their loins, and made them bear witness form themselves…: “Am I not your Lord (Creator and Sustainer)?” They said, “Yes! (You Alone are our Lord) We do bear witness.” (A’raaf7: 172)
“And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. The ears (for hearing) and the eyes (for seeing) and the heart/intellect, all of them shall be questioned.” (Bani Israel17: 36)
“We did guide him to the (right) path; to be grateful (believer) or ungrateful (disbeliever).” (Ad’Dahr76: 3)
“Then were imbued into him,
his wrong and his right.” (Shams91: 8) “Have We not made for him (given him) two eyes, and a tongue and two lips; and We guided him about the two open paths (right and wrong).” (Balad90: 8-10)
“O those who have believed! Believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book which has been sent down
to His Messenger and the Books which were sent down before. And whoever refuses to believe in
Allah and His angels, His Books and His Messengers and the Last Day; then he has gone astray, far away
(from the right path).” (An’Nisa4: 136)
(
“And We have created many men and Jinns for Hell. They have hearts, but they do not comprehend with them; and they have eyes, but they do not see with
them; they have ears, but they do not hear with them; they are like cattle, in fact they are more lost; such are
utterly heedless.” (A’raaf7: 179)
“It is indeed the same for the disbelievers whether you warn them or do not warn them, they are not
going to believe. Allah has put a seal on their hearts and on their hearing and a covering over their eyes. And their deprivation is great.” (Al-
Baqarah2: 6-7)

QURAN & MODERN SCIENCE
13
• The Quraan is the truth from the Almighty Allah. As such, it is in harmony and predates modern scientific discoveries.
• The Quraan is primarily a book of faith rather than a book of science. Non-the-less, Allah has embedded signs in it that endorse its authenticity.

QURAN: THE ULTIMATE MIRACLE
14
• The marvels of the Quraan will continue to unravel until the end of time.
• Allah has chosen words that suit all intellectual levels throughout the time.
• The Quraan was revealed more than 14 centuries ago, yet it continues to challenge the wisdom and knowledge of mankind.

Do they not ponder the Quraan? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy.

“And Indeed We created man out of an extract of clay. Thereafter We made him as a Nutfah (mixed drop) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman). Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (leech like substance). Then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So Blessed is Allah, the best of Creators.” (Al-Mominun: 12-14)

The Heart’s Neurons:
Recent studies demonstrate the existence of neuron cells in the heart similar to those in the brain. Neurocardiology has established that the heart is a sensory organ and a sophisticated information encoding and processing center
