Muhammad happened to be illiterate and simply could not have been aware of such facts by himself.
Could it be that he had received divine revelation from the Creator and Originator of the universe?
In 1512, astronomer Nicholas Copernicus put forward his theory that the sun is motionless at the
center of the solar system, and that the planets revolve around it. The belief that the sun is stationary
was widespread amongst astronomers until the 20th century. It is now a well-established scientific
fact that the sun is not stationary but is moving in an orbit around the center of our Milky Way
galaxy.[41] The Qur'an (21/33) mentions the orbit of the sun: "It is He who created night and
day, the sun and the soon, each floating in its orbit." The Qur'an would have been wrong
according to astronomers just a couple of decades ago. But we now know that the Qur'anic account
of the sun's motion is consistent with modern astronomy.
Dyspnea means difficulty in respiration, tightness of breast or constriction of the chest that occurs at
high altitude. When a human being goes higher than ten thousand (10,000) feet above sea level, it
does not cause him any serious problem, as the respiratory system can handle the height of 10,000
to 25,000 feet above sea level; however, if a person goes into outer space, the amount of pressure
and oxygen decreases, causing the closing of the chest and dyspnea (shortness of breath). Then, the
breathing process becomes difficult because of the lack of oxygen (oxygen starvation) and the
respiratory system completely fails, causing death. The Qur'an (6/125) makes mention of this fact as
follows: "When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He
desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were
climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who have no faith."
Another scientific fact mentioned in the Qur'an is in 86/11, which states, "By the sky which
returns." The Qur'an (2/22) also states, "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out]
and the sky a ceiling…" In the first verse, God swears by the sky[42] and its function of 'returning'
without specifying what it 'returns'. In Islam, a divine oath signifies the magnitude of importance of a
special relation to the Creator and manifests His majesty and the supreme truth in a special way. The
second verse describes the divine act that made the sky a 'ceiling' for the dwellers of earth. According
to modern science, the atmosphere is a word which denotes all the air surrounding the earth, from
the ground all the way up to the edge from which space starts. It is composed of several layers, each
defined because of the various phenomena which occur within the layer. Rain, for one, is 'returned'
to Earth by the clouds in the atmosphere.
Encyclopedia Britannica explains the hydrologic cycle thus, "Water evaporates from both the aquatic
and terrestrial environments as it is heated by the Sun's energy. The rates of evaporation and
precipitation depend on solar energy, as do the patterns of circulation of moisture in the air and
