THE QUR'AN AND SCIENCE

MIRACLES OF THE QUR'AN

Fourteen centuries ago, Allah revealed the Qur'an, the guide to truth for mankind, and summoned all humanity to seek salvation by following the commandments of this Book. From the day it was first revealed until Judgement Day, this final holy Book will remain the sole guide for humanity. The unprecedented style and the superior wisdom inherent in the Qur'an is conclusive evidence confirming that it is the Word of Allah. Apart from this, there are a number of miracles verifying the fact that the Qur'an is the revelation of Allah, one of them being that, 1,400 years ago, it declared a number of scientific facts that have only been established thanks to the technological breakthroughs of the 20th century. In this book, in addition to the scientific miracles of the Qur'an, you will also find messages regarding the future and examples of its "mathematical miracle."


SELF-SACRIFICE AND INTELLIGENT BEHAVIOUR MODELS IN ANIMALS

Darwinism grounds his entire theory on the concept of a "struggle for existence". There are, however, amazing examples of self-sacrifice in animals. 

Self-sacrifice, love, co-operation, compassion, caring... These traits are accepted as examples of good morals in all societies. This book is also about these attributes. Here, however, the creatures who engage in self-sacrifice, co-operate, and exhibit compassionate behaviour are not human beings but animals. As the book also shows, some animals also display important signs of intelligence.

All these are those traits of living beings that cannot be explained by evolution and they are evident signs of Allah's creation.




THE DESIGN IN NATURE

In the living organisms, we come across designs that are incomparably  superior to even the most thrilling technological breakthroughs of our times. This is the flawless creation of Allah. 

Darwin said: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." When you read this book, you will see that Darwin's theory has absolutely broken down, just as he feared it would.
 
A thorough examination of the feathers of a bird, the sonar system of a bat or the wing structure of a fly reveal amazingly complex designs. And these designs indicate that they are created flawlessly by Allah.



ALLAH'S ARTISTRY IN COLOUR

Colours, patterns, spots even lines of each living being existing in nature have a meaning. For some species, colours serve as a communication tool; for others, they are a warning against enemies. Whatever the case, these colours are essential for the well-being of living beings. An attentive eye would immediately recognise that not only the living beings, but also everything in nature are just as they should be. Furthermore, he would realise that everything is given to the service of man: the comforting blue colour of the sky, the colourful view of flowers, the bright green trees and meadows, the moon and stars illuminating the world in pitch darkness together with innumerable beauties surrounding man...




THE QUR'AN LEADS THE WAY TO SCIENCE

The way to examine the universe and all the beings there in and to discover Allah's art of creation and announce it to humanity is "science". Therefore, religion adopts science as a way to reach the details of Allah's creation and therefore encourages science. Just as religion encourages scientific research, so does scientific research that is guided by the facts communicated by religion yield very rapid and definite results. This is because religion is the unique source that provides the most correct and definite answer to the question of how the universe and life came into being.



THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

Ruling over the world of science in the 19th century, the materialist philosophy had proposed that the universe is an uncontrolled heap of matter that existed since eternity. The discoveries made in the twentieth century, however, entirely refuted this materialist claim.

Today, science has proven that the universe was created from nothing with a Big Bang. Moreover, all physical balances of the universe are designed to support human life. Everything from the nuclear reactions in stars to the chemical properties of a carbon atom or a water molecule, is created in a glorious harmony.

This is the exalted and flawless creation of Allah, the Lord of All the Worlds.




A BOUQUET OF THE BEAUTIES OF ALLAH SERIES I-II-III-IV

The most important responsibility of man is to glorify his Creator, Who created him from
non-existence and granted him whatever he possesses. The purpose of this series of books is to display the beauties of the creation of Allah by showing the diversity of living things so that readers may marvel and praise their Creator. 
 



CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL

In this book, you will see the wise, planned and calculated functions performed with an incredible consciousness by the organelles in the cell, enzymes produced in the body, hormones and other molecules, which are unlikely to have been caused by these organic components themselves.

You will read examples of the wisdom and consciousness displayed in each and every one of the hundreds of trillions of cells making up the human body and, as always, witness that no beings, living or non-living, could have been the result of unconscious coincidences but are the work of the superior might, knowledge and artistry of Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.




ARTICLES II

A man examining the universe with wisdom and conscience sees that everything is created and therefore is a sign of the existence of Allah. What matters is to be able to look at the universe from this conscientious viewpoint. In this book, comprising some of the articles by Harun Yahya published in recent years in various newspapers and periodicals, the universe and living things are viewed from this position. As you read the articles, you will witness that Allah created the entire universe from nothing and displayed a glorious artistry in the creation of each living thing.




A STRING OF MIRACLES

There are countless laws, balances and measures in the cosmos, the Milky Way, our galaxy, the Solar System, and the planet Earth on which we live. The collection of millions of balances and measures result in a seamless "string of miracles". This book aims to display various examples of the miracles of creation in the universe, thus giving the reader an insight into the infinite might and artistry of Allah.
