Amazing Facts About Quran Vs Science

The Qur'an is not a science textbook, yet it repeatedly invites humanity to observe nature and reflect on the signs of the Creator.

Science: Mountains help stabilize the Earth's crust.

Qur'an: "And He placed firm mountains on the earth so it would not shake with you." (Qur'an 16:15)


Science: Stars have long served as navigation points.

Qur'an: "And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darkness of land and sea." (Qur'an 6:97)


Science: Clouds carry enormous amounts of water, and rain falls after condensation.

Qur'an: "Do you not see that Allah drives the clouds, then joins them together, then makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within them. (Qur'an 24:43)


Science: The sun and the moon each travel in their own orbits.

Qur'an: "And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each travelling in an orbit." (Qur'an 21:33)


Science: The early universe existed in a hot gaseous state.

Qur'an: "Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke and said to it and to the earth: Come willingly or unwillingly." (Qur'an 41:11)


Allah reminds us:

"We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the Truth." (Qur'an 41:53)

These verses encourage us to observe, think, and reflect. For believers, every discovery in the universe is another reminder of the greatness and wisdom of Allah.

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth are signs for people who reflect." (Qur'an 3:190)

How Napoleon and Others Used Books to Understand the East

Image
In history, Western leaders like Napoleon saw the East (or Orient) through books and ideas shaped by "Orientalism." Orientalism is a way of thinking about the East that often simplifies and misrepresents it. People like Napoleon and others who followed this tradition believed what these books said about the Orient and used them to guide their actions without actually knowing or understanding the people of the region. Books vs. Real Life: When people only rely on books or written information, they miss the complexity of real life. A book might say that all lions are fierce, and if someone encounters one fierce lion, they’ll believe that all lions are exactly like that. If the book also says how to handle a fierce lion and this advice works, people will trust that author even more and might even rely on them for more "knowledge" about lions. Over time, more books will repeat this idea of fierce lions, creating a belief that doesn’t leave room for other views. This hap...

The Pain of Confessing When You Cannot Have Someone

Image
Love is one of the most beautiful feelings in life. But sometimes, it can also be the most painful. Falling in love with someone, feeling something special for them, is magical. You carry that feeling in your heart and it becomes a part of you. But what happens when you love someone deeply, someone you cannot have, someone you cannot make yours? Life does not always allow us to be with the person we love. And in such moments, confessing your feelings can become a painful choice. When you tell that person everything—your feelings, your thoughts, your heart—you feel relief at first. You think you are being honest and true to yourself. But later, when life does not let you be with them, that confession can turn into your biggest regret. You keep thinking, Why did I say everything? Why did I open my heart when I could not have them? It is a strange kind of pain. You have already shared your emotions, but you cannot take the next step. You cannot hold them, you cannot include them in your l...

The Ongoing Iran–Israel–US Conflict and the Strait of Hormuz

Image
The Strait of Hormuz lies between Iran and Oman. It connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. At its narrowest point, it is about 33 km (around 21–22 miles) wide. Around one-fifth of the world’s oil, nearly 22 million barrels per day, passes through this strait. About 20–30% of LNG and 20% of global petroleum move through the Strait of Hormuz on their way to other countries. Major exporters using this passage include Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran. This clearly shows its global importance as one of the world’s most important energy routes.  Due to the ongoing conflict, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has sent a warning message to ships using radio channels, telling them not to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This adds time and cost to the global trade. In simple words, even a short disruption can lead to a hike in oil and gas prices worldwide. It will also negatively affect Pakistan's oil and gas imports because the country depends heavily on G...
