Force of Gravity in the Quran? Production of Milk in animals? In Pairs?

Question

1. Force of Gravity

We know that before the time of Newton, that great scientific personality, no one was aware of the force of gravity. Newton proved that the falling of objects to earth, the rotation of the moon and the Venus, the motion of the planets, and other instances of attraction are all subject to the single law, the law of universal gravity.


The Quran describes the above mentioned gravitational force as ‘invisible pillars’: “God it is Who raised up the heavenly bodies to invisible pillars .....” (13:2).


In conveying this scientific truth, the Quran has used an expression that is comprehensible for the men of all ages. Are these ‘unseen pillars’, which prevent the planets from colliding with each other or falling, anything other than the mysterious and invisible force of universal gravity, a law to which the Creator of the universe has subjected all of the heavenly bodies?


2. Production of Milk in animals

The Quran describes the factors which give rise to milk in animals in a way that is entirely compatible with the data of modern science.


This is what God’s book has to say: “There is in truth for you a lesson in your animals and flocks. We give you to drink a pure milk derived from that which is contained in their bodies, from the merging of what is held in their intestines with blood. The drinking of that is then made easy for those who drink it.” (16:66).


Dr. Bucaille writes in his book: “From a scientific point of view, physiological notions must be called upon to grasp the meaning of this verse. The substances that ensure the general nutrition of the body come from chemical transformations which occur along the length of the digestive tract. These substances come from the contents of the intestine. On arrival in the intestine at the appropriate stage of chemical transformation, they pass through its wall and towards the systemic circulation (of blood)...... This very precise concept is the result of the discoveries made in the chemistry and physiology of the digestive system. It was totally unknown at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and has been understood only in recent times.”


3. In Pairs

It is only recently that researchers have come aware of insemination in plants and learned that every living being including plants comes into existence as the result of the merging of a male and female parts.

In verses that are totally free of ambiguity, the noble Quran, sets forth clearly the principle of gender in the gender world, together with the existence of male and female parts even in plants. “Do they not look at the earth, where we created the plants in pairs”. (42:7).

And Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm drop, then He made you pairs. And no female conceives, nor does she bring forth a child save with His knowledge. And no one is granted long life who is granted long life, nor is anything diminished of his life, but it is all recorded in a Book. That surely is easy for Allah.

Holy Quran

Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day, and in the ships which sail in the sea with that which profits men, and in the water which Allah sends down from the sky and quickens therewith the earth after its death and scatters therein all kinds of beasts, and in the change of the winds and the clouds pressed into service between the heaven and the earth - are indeed Signs for the people who use their understanding.

Answer 1

that quran is amazing!!! It is filled with knowledge... i would hope everyone is able to open thier eyes god willing... I love to hear stuff like that thanks....by the way religion is not blind when there are facts

Answer 2

Yes, I believe God to be the ultimate beginning of science and evolution. Makes perfect sense to me!
:) The Bible has it's heavenly proof as well...alot of it is metaphoric...ie created heaven and earth in 7 days...most of us modern Christians can figure out that the timeline must scientifically be a metaphor. There are many stories of truth in all religions pretty much. Too bad we can't get the fanatics in all religions to see the universal truths most all religions share! Peace be with You, A Christian American...I also study the Sumerians, the Chinese, the Kabbalah, the Quran, Hindu, the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Olmecs, and more...to see what the World is saying about different ways to worship The God of All of Us.

Answer 3

It is interesting that no Muslim told us these things even though it "was already" in the Koran. Invisible pillars ? Milk mixed with blood ? Plant "pairs". What a riot. It seems the Koran verses can be interpreted almost any way you like. Like they say, a little knowledge (as in your case) is a "dangerous thing". Canned interpretations from science illiterate mullahs / imams are not exactly impressive to wiser people.

Answer 4

I was told you can have a drink while nursing. But you need to nurse the baby before hand and after you have the drink you need to pump (and throw away) and get the alcohol out of your system. I have never heard of it increasing your supply though, but anything is possible. Good Luck!

Answer 5

what about the plants that produce asexualy and ameobas that dont have mates then what? some single celled organizisms produce asexually without pairs

Answer 6

Your eyes are blinded by religious tradition, and you see what you want to see, regardless of what is there.

If I were to quote verses from the same book advocating the murder and oppression of non-believers, I'd have so many thumbs down ratings it's not even funny.

Answer 7

religion and science are simply to sides of the same coin ..
THINK!
