Miracles of the Qur’an
More recently, though, physicists
have suggested that quarks and everything
else are made of far tinier objects: super-
strings vibrating in 10 dimensions. At the
Planck level, the weave of space-time would
be as apparent as when the finest Egyptian
cotton is viewed under a magnifying glass,
exposing the warp and woof. 16
In his book Three Roads to Quantum
Gravity, the theoretical quantum physicist
Lee Smolin devotes one chapter to "How to
The University of Weave a String" and says this on the subject:
Pittsburgh physicist Carlo ... Space may be 'woven' from a network of

Rees says:

strings. 18
Allah describes the universe as being woven paths and orbits in
verse 7 of Surat adh-Dhariyat – and this demonstrates that the Qur'an
agrees with modern science. This perfect harmony between the Qur'an
and present day scientific developments clearly reveals that the Qur'an is
the word of our Lord, the Creator of all. He knows best about all things.
Indeed, He asks a pertinent question in one particular verse:
"Will they not ponder the Qur'an? If it had been from other than
Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it." (Surat
an-Nisa’, 82)
