Nay, We are able to put Together in perfect order The very tips of his fingers."  [Al-Qur'aan 75:3-4] [Translation - A. YUSUFALI] [/center][/i][/color]   Unbelievers argue regarding resurrection taking place after bones of dead people have disintegrated in the earth and how each individual would be identified on the Day of Judgement. Almighty Allah answers that He can not only assemble our bones but can also reconstruct perfectly our very fingertips.   Why does the Qur'aan, while speaking about determination of the identity of the individual, speak specifically about fingertips?   In 1880, fingerprinting became the scientific method of identification, after research done by Sir Francis Golt. No two persons in the world can ever have exactly the same fingerprint pattern. That is the reason why police forces worldwide use fingerprints to identify the criminal. 1400 years ago, who could have known the uniqueness of each human's fingerprint? Surely it could have been none other than the Creator Himself!   [Courtesy Dr. Zakir Nayak www.irf.net]   [center][color=white][i]On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?   [sup](Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:20-21) [Translation - A.

Recent discoveries prove that there are pain receptors present in the skin without which a person would not be able to feel pain. When a doctor examines a patient suffering from burn injuries, he verifies the degree of burns by a pinprick. If the patient feels pain, the doctor is happy, because it indicates that the burns are superficial and the pain receptors are intact. On the other hand if the patient does not feel any pain, it indicates that it is a deep burn and the pain receptors have been destroyed. The Qur'aan gives an indication of the existence of pain receptors in the following verse: [color=blue][i]"Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise."

Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things? [Surah FUSSILAT 041.053 Translation - A. YUSUFALI][/sup] [/color][/i][/center] PS : sis Rehana, i copied your format.

[Al-Qur'aan 79:30][/center][/i][/color] The Arabic word for egg here is dahaha, which means an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg resembles the geo-spherical shape of the earth. Thus the Qur'aan correctly describes the shape of the earth, though the prevalent notion when the Qur'aan was revealed was that the earth is flat. The Arabic word dahaha has been translated by A. Yusuf Ali as "vast expanse", which also is correct. The word dahaha also means an ostrich-egg. THE LIGHT OF THE MOON IS REFLECTED LIGHT It was believed by earlier civilizations that the moon emanates its own light. Science now tells us that the light of the moon is reflected light. However this fact was mentioned in the Qur'aan 1,400 years ago in the following verse:. "Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, And placed therein a Lamp And a Moon giving light." [Al-Qur'aan 25:61] The Arabic word for the sun in the Qur'aan, is shams. It is referred to as siraaj, which means a 'torch' or as wahhaaj which means 'a blazing lamp' or as diya which means 'shining glory'. All three descriptions are appropriate to the sun, since it generates intense heat and light by its internal combustion. The Arabic word for the moon is qamar and it is described in the Qur'aan as muneer, which is a body that gives nur i.e. light. Again, the Qur'aanic description matches perfectly with the true nature of the moon, which does not give off light itself and is an inert body that reflects the light of the sun. Not once in the Qur'aan, is the moon mentioned as siraaj, wahhaaj or diya or the sun as nur or muneer. This implies that the Qur'aan recognizes the difference between the nature of sunlight and moonlight. Consider the following verses related to the nature of light from the sun and the moon: "It is He who made the sun To be a shining glory And the moon to be a light (Of beauty)." [Al-Qur'aan 10:5] "See ye not How Allah has created The seven heavens One above another, "And made the moon A light in their midst, and made the sun As a (Glorious) Lamp?" [Al-Qur'aan 71:15-16] [Courtesy Dr. Zakir Nayak www.irf.net] [center][color=white][i]On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?
