Sir Isaac Newton, regarded as one of the great-
est scientists ever, investigated this feature of the
Earth. During his studies, he made one of the great-
est scientific discoveries of all time. He wrote about
gravity in his famous book, Philosophiae Naturalis

Principia Mathematica (The Mathematical Principles
of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687. The
Latin word "attraere" Newton used in discussing
gravity also means "to attract, bring together."
The reference in the Qur'an to one of the Earth's
th
four great forces, only defined in the 17 century, is
just one of the proofs that the Qur'an was sent down
from the Presence of Allah.
