Page 17 - Allah's Miracles in the Qur'an

Harun Yahya

For example, they supposed that mountains supported the sky above.
They believed that the Earth was flat and that mountains acted as pil-
lars that kept the vault of heaven high above us.
Into this atmosphere of legend and myth, the Qur'an came down.
It replaced ignorance with knowledge and illogical conjecture with
guidance and certainty. One verse of the Qur'an states, "Allah is He
Who raised up the heavens without any support..." (Qur'an, 13:2)
This verse invalidated the belief that the sky remains above

because of support from the mountains. The Qur'an is filled with
important facts which were revealed at a point in human history when
no man could possibly have known them. The Qur'an-which was
revealed at a time when people knew very little about astronomy,
physics, or biology-contains key facts on a variety of subjects all
of which point to the fact that it is revealed by Allah, the Lord
of the Worlds. Some of the subjects explained and dealt
with in the Qur'an are: the creation of the universe, the
creation and miraculous development of the
human being from miniscule embryo to
grown adult, the structure of the atmos-
phere in which we live and the delicate
balances that make life on Earth
possible. In order to understand
some of these points more
fully, let us look at some of
these scientific miracles
revealed in the Qur'an

together.
