From the Verses of Water in the Quran — Scientific Miracles of Water

Description

Verses of Water in the Quran — A Scholarly Walk Through Sixty-Three Mentions

Water is mentioned in sixty-three places in the Book of Allah — and in each one, the description holds together with a precision modern science has only recently been able to match. Verses of water in the quran are among the most striking signs the Qur’an offers to the scientific age, and Dr. Zaghloul Al-Najjar — the noted Muslim geologist — devotes this book to walking through them carefully, ayah by ayah.

What This Book Explores

• Sixty-three Qur’anic mentions of water, surveyed with care
• The water cycle as described in the Qur’an centuries before its scientific formulation
• The mixing — and non-mixing — of fresh and salt water at sea boundaries
• Rainfall, clouds, lightning, and groundwater described with astonishing precision
• Water as origin of life — “and We made from water every living thing” (Al-Anbiya 21:30)

Why the Verses of Water in the Quran Stand as a Sign

The Qur’an did not arrive in a culture of oceanographers and meteorologists. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was unlettered, and his people lived in a desert peninsula far from the great oceans of the earth. That the verses of water in the quran describe phenomena of the hydrological cycle, marine science, and microbiology with this kind of accuracy is, for the honest reader, a clear testimony that the Book is from Allah — the Creator of every drop.
