Proof God exist and Quran is His true book?


Dear brother, it is very good to have this opportunity to having debate. I have to existence of God (The creator). Well in the topic I will only stick with Islamic point of view that what Islam is offering us or in simple words how Muslim think about their God and How they find their God as true God.

In modern days, the measures of judging anything with true or false we use the method of Science. It is as similar as at the time of Moses (PBUH) the criteria of good or bad were judge upon magic.

Proof 1 (Creation of Universe/ Big Bang):

In 20th century science told us that how universe was started. Many research were done on that topic. In 1922 first theory of “Hubble's law and the expansion of space” was posed and in the year of 2000 it was fully conformed and Hubble’s theory became the law.

However, it is astonishing to find same research in a book which was written 1500 hundred years ago. The following is the quoted verses from that book, Chapter 21, verse 30.

“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?”

Proof 2 (Creation of Human/ Embryology):

The creation of a baby in a mother womb was very complicated studies and until 20th century no one properly knows the basic steps or phases of fetus in a mother womb. Dr. Keith Moore was among one of most noble researcher on the topic of embryology. He completed his research in 1981 and on the same year at Seventh Medical Conference inDammam, Saudi Arabia, Dr. Moore said,

“It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God or Allah, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God or Allah”.

Following were the verse which made him to knew the true God, Chapter 23: Verse 13-14

“Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed;

Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (fetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!”

Similarly, Quran also tell us about various of other scientific facts which science recently discovered for example,

1) Movement of earth and moon in their orbit (Discovered in 16th century)

2) Movement of Sun in a greater orbit (Discovered in 20th century)

3) Difference of fingerprints (Discovered in 20th century)

4) Every creation is based upon water or made by water (Discovered in 19 century)

5) Layer formation between 2 waters (Discovered in 20th century)

6) Mountains as support of earth (Discovered in 20th century)

7) Seven ozone layers (Discovered in mid of 20th century)…100 more etc

The things which are mentioned above are the base of our discussion about God (The Creator). Now one thing we have to keep in mind that we are human, we are created beings. We don’t know what is God, How is God, What is His length, width, color. We also have to keep in mind that humans are ordinary being. In contras the God is supernatural or far more then supernatural.

We don’t know how to judge the God. However, God himself give us some criteria to find him. It’s an easy method; find the God with His signs. Those signs He gave us in His book. Scientific, mathematical, Geological any of your field his book will guide you in any way you want.

The Quran is alive miracle of God. Its 6000 verses talk on every aspect of life. It provides you with all answers.

So when a book of almost 1500 year old provides you accurate scientific facts that mean its creator is someone all knowing and wise and that all knowing and wise is Allah the creator of heaven and earth. As mentioned in Quran,

“Allah knows all that is in the heavens and on earth: He has full knowledge of all things.”

Seven Layers Of Ozone


So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge. [41:12]

The statement in the Quran about seven heavens may be interpreted as seven different strata, seven different dimensions or seven different fields of attraction. A closer analysis of the atmosphere, which, to the naked eye may present uniformity, makes it clear that it is not actually so.

The different layers of our atmosphere could not have been known at the time of the Prophet. This fact cannot have been established fortuitously. The Quran refers to different layers in the atmosphere in perfect accord with each other. One can also conjecture that such layers can exist in space. The creation of these harmonious layers is a phenomenon visible from the microcosm of the atom to the macrocosm of the universe. Let us remember the layers and orbits of the electron around the nucleus of the atom. The fact that the maximum number of orbits in the atom is seven may also be significant.

The number seven has special connotations in the Quran. As a matter of fact, “seven” in Arabic, also expresses a plurality; the expression “seven heavens,” may either mean the number seven as the actual number of heavens, or a plurality of heavens. This usage of “seven” in the Arabic has been commented upon throughout history by many exegetics. In the sura Luqmaan, 27th verse, the expression “seven seas” is used and in the sura Repentance, verse 80 states that: “Even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, God will not forgive them.” So, it is said that both “seven” and “seventy” express a plurality. A similar usage of the number “seven” expressing a plurality may also be seen in ancient Greek and Roman.

-- LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE OBJECTIVES THEY SERVE--

We know now that atmosphere is made of layers that make life on earth possible. The absence of any one of these layers would be the end of life on earth. God, whose flawless art is conspicuous everywhere, displays once again His design by drawing attention - in the Quran - to atmospheric layers. Each of these layers dutifully performs its function contributing to the perfect performance of the whole. The fact that the lifeless atoms of the atmosphere are in the service of man, as if forming a conscious entity, is a consequence of God’s compassion.

The atmosphere is divided into layers, of which the (1) Troposphere is the lowest layer, closest to the surface of the earth. The Troposphere, which is as low as six km, extends to a height of 12 km at the equator. Atmospheric phenomena take place within the portion of three to four kilometers from the surface. 75% of atmospheric gases are in this layer. Above the Troposphere is the (2) Stratosphere extending about 50 km up. The third is (3) the Ozonosphere, the ozone layer in other words, which is the protector from ultraviolet rays having lethal effects on living beings. Above lies the (4) Mesosphere which in turn, is topped by the (5) Thermosphere followed by the (6) Ionosphere, the upper layer reaching to a height of 500 km from the earth. Radio waves are reflected from this layer, rendering communication possible. Above 500 km lies the fringe region known as the (7) Exosphere, extending up to 10,000 km. The proportion of gases in this layer is very low and divided into ions. We can thus divide the atmosphere into 7 layers. The number 7 may change of course, if researchers prefer examining these layers by different groupings.

However it is interesting to find that the commonly agreed classification of atmospheric layers supports the Quranic information and it is beyond mere interest when we evaluate it together with all other scientific remarks in the Quran. Even if the reader does not find this classification persuasive, then he or she may subscribe to the alternative understanding that the figure seven expresses a plurality, without bringing any change in the miraculous significance of the verse. This double meaning of “seven layers” thus leaves no loopholes. Separating the atmosphere into harmonious layers is a modern discovery. The level of scientific knowledge at the time of the descent of the Quran did not permit making differentiation between the layers of atmosphere. Verse 12 of sura 41 reads: “So He ordained them seven heavens (skies) in two days (periods) and revealed in every heaven its affair...” making it clear that every layer served a different purpose, thanks to which life on earth was possible.
