The Scientific Miracles of the Qur'an

Since mother’s milk has been specially designed it is the most easily
digestible food for babies. Despite being nutritionally very rich, it is easily
digested by the baby’s sensitive digestive system. Since the baby thus
expends less energy on digestion it is able to use that energy for other
bodily functions, growth and organ development.
The milk of mothers who have had premature babies contains higher
levels of fat, protein, sodium, chloride and iron to meet the baby’s needs.
Indeed, it has been established that the functions of the eye develop better
in premature babies fed on mother’s milk, and that they perform better in
intelligence tests, as well as a great many other advantages.
Another new scientific discovery regarding mother’s milk is that it is
most beneficial to the baby for two years. 77 This important information
discovered by science only recently was revealed to us by God in the verse
“… his weaning was two years…” 1400 years ago.

Conclusion
All that we have seen so far shows us one clear fact: the Qur'an is such a
book that all the news related in it has proved to be true. Facts about
scientific subjects and the news given about the future, facts that no one
could have known at the time, were announced in its verses. It is
impossible for this information to have been known with the level of
knowledge and technology of the day. It is clear that this provides clear
evidence that the Qur'an is not the word of man. The Qur'an is the word of
the Almighty God, the Originator of everything and the One Who
encompasses everything with His knowledge. In one verse, God says on
the Qur'an "If it had been from other than God, they would have found
many inconsistencies in it." (Surat an-Nisa': 82) Not only are there no
inconsistencies in the Qur'an, but every piece of information it contains
reveals the miracle of this Divine Book more and more each day.
What falls to man is to hold fast to this Divine Book revealed by God, and
receive it as his one and only guide. In one of the verses, God commands us:

And this is a Book We have sent down and blessed, so follow
it and have fear of God so that hopefully you will gain mercy.
(Surat al-An'am: 155)
