Science In The Qur'an. (Part I)

I personally believe that every religion has most of the things in common especially when it comes to The Almighty God and every religion deserves respect and it is the perspective of people how they see the other religions.

We can find science in Holy books but we can't find everything that is written in Holy books, in science.
And this justifies my tiltle ' Quran in science'

IN THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, AND THE ALTERNATION OF NIGHT AND DAY, THERE ARE SIGNS FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLIGENCE. (QUR'AN 3:190)

INTRODUCTION:
Ever since the dawn of mankind we have sought to understand nature and our place in it. In this question for our purpose of life many people have turned to religion.
There are scientific and historical facts found in the Quran which were unknown to the people at the time, and have only been discovered recently.
The Quran came in unique style of language that cannot be replicated, this is known as the ' Inimitability of the Quran'.
There are predictions made in the Quran and by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which have come to pass.

The Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the 7th century. Science at that time was primitive. There were no telescopes, microscopes or anything even close to the technology we have today.
Some people may claim that the Quran was changed as new scientific facts were discovered. But this cannot be the case, because it is a historically documented fact that the Quran is preserved in it's original language. One of the copies which was written a few years after death of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is preserved in museum in Uzbekistan.

This copy is over 1400 years old and is exactly the same as Arabic Quran that we have today

SCIENTIFIC FACTS IN THE QUR'AN.

1. ORIGIN OF LIFE
Water is essential for all living things. We all know that water is vital to life, but the Quran makes a very unusual claim:

...WE MADE EVERY LIVING THING FROM WATER? WILL THEY NOT BELIEVE? (QURAN 21:30)

In this verse, water is pointed out as the origin of all life. All living things are made of cells and cells are mostly made up of water.

The fact that living things consist mostly of water was discovered only after the invention of the Microscope. In the deserts of Arabia, the last Thing someone would have guessed is that all life came from water.

2. IRON

WE SENT DOWN IRON WITH ITS GREAT INHERENT STRENGTH AND ITS MANY BENEFITS FOR HUMANKIND (QURAN 57:25)

God uses the word 'sent down' for iron. It is clear from the verse that iron is not earthly material.
Scientists have found that billion of years ago the Earth was struck by meteorites. These meteorites were carrying iron from distant stars which had exploded.

3. SKY'S PROTECTION.

WE MADE THE SKY A PROTECTIVE CIELING. AND YET THEY ARE TURNING AWAY FROM OUR SIGNS! (QURAN 21:32)

The Quran points to the Sky's protection as a sign of God. The protective properties of the sky were discovered by scientific research conducted in the 20th century.
