Miracles of the Quran: Common Questions

How can the Quran contain modern science?

Muslims believe the Quran is the literal word of Allah. The presence of accurate scientific data—discovered only centuries later with advanced technology—serves as proof of its divine origin.

Is the Quran a book of science?

The Quran is primarily a book of 'Signs' (Ayat) rather than a science textbook. These signs are intended to encourage reflection and point toward the existence of a Creator.

What is the most famous miracle mentioned?

While subjective, the description of the 'Big Bang' (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:30) and the barrier between fresh and salt water (Surah Al-Furqan 25:53) are among the most cited miracles by scholars.
