Miracles Of The Quran

The word “petrol”—which began being used on-
ly in recent decades—is written or read in the same way

whether in Turkish, English or Arabic. It is the also the
same in many other languages all over the world.
So how is petrol formed? According to modern
scientific findings, it emerges after a lengthy period of
time from the remains of either plants or animals.
Another verse of the Qur'an that suggests this reads:
He Who brings forth green pasture, then makes it blackened
stubble. (Surat al-A'la, 4-5)

th
Qur'an, Vol. 1, 8 edition, July 2006)

THE INVENTION OF TELEVISION

Television transmissions take place by electromagnetic waves trav-
elling at the speed of light reaching our homes. Television waves are so

fast that live transmissions from many kilometers away can be made al-
most instantaneously. Surat an-Naml of the Qur'an describes how the
Prophet Solomon (as) had the throne of a queen in a far-distant country
brought to him instantaneously in a miraculous manner, in a manner
reminiscent of the above technology:
He who possessed knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to
you before your glance returns to you.' And when he saw it stand-
ing firmly in his presence, he said, 'This is part of my Lord's fa-
vor to test me to see if I will give thanks or show ingratitude...
(Surat an-Naml, 40)
When reading this verse, the ideas of teleportation or image trans-
mission —television—immediately spring to mind. Some letters in Surat
an-Naml, in which this phenomenon is described, come together in a
mysterious manner to comprise the word "television."
