"And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."
Deuteronomy 18:21-22
So if the statements made in the Qur'an were not
true then this would prove that it is not the word of God. However,
there is not a single claim made in the Qur'an that has been scientifically
and objectively refuted as false. Quite the contrary, there is
not one, but tens of scientific and historical statements to be
found in the Qur'an which have just begun to be scrutinized by
modern scientists and historians and which, according to many
non-Muslim world renowned, pioneering scientists of the United
States, Germany, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, India and many other nations,
could not have been known by an illiterate man of the desert fourteen
hundred years ago (see chapter 13). They themselves have only
discovered these facts through the use of microscopes, telescopes,
satellites, and various other scientific equipment that was not
available to Muhammad (pbuh). These statements range over the
fields of Embryology, Oceanography, Geology,
Astronomy, Anatomy, Physics, and many others. Some of them have
only been discovered during the last twenty years. These facts
could not even have been copied from the Bible because many of
them are either completely missing from the Bible or totally oppose
similar verses in the Bible. If Muhammad (pbuh) had plagiarized
the Bible, then did he also selectively correct incorrect scientific
statements in it? It is also interesting to note that Christian
scholars readily acknowledge that the Bible was not translated
into Arabic until at least the eighth century AD, long after the
death of Muhammad (pbuh) in 632C.E. You may get a side-by-side
comparison of the Biblical vs. the Quranic versions of many scientific
facts by referring to Dr. Maurice Bucaille's books: "The
Bible, the Qur'an, and Science."
I also highly recommend the following books: "Qur'an
and modern science Correlation Studies," by Keith L. Moore,
Abdul-Majeed A. Zindani, Mustafa A. Ahmed, and "The developing
Human," By Dr. Keith Moore. These books speak about embryology
in the Qur'an, and other topics.
