foreign
it is related that man is created in a
three-stage process in the mother's womb
he creates you stage by stage in your
mother's wombs in a three-fold Darkness
that is God your lord sovereignty is his
there is no God but him so what has made
you deviate
will be understood
pointed out in this verse that a human
being is created in the mother's womb in
three distinct stages
indeed Modern Biology has revealed that
the baby's embryological development
takes place in three distinct regions in
the mother's womb
today in all of the embryological
textbooks studied in the faculties of
medicine this subject is taken as an
element of basic knowledge
for instance in basic human embryology a
fundamental reference text in the field
of embryology this fact is stated as
follows
the life in the uterus has three stages
pre-embryonic first two and a half weeks
embryonic until the end of the eighth
week
and Fetal from the eighth week to labor
these phases refer to the different
developmental stages of a baby
on the development in the mother's womb
became available only after observations
done with modern devices
like many other scientific facts these
pieces of information are imparted in
the verses of the Quran in a miraculous
way
the fact that such detailed and accurate
information was given in the Quran at a
time when people had scarce information
on medical matters is clear evidence
that the Quran is not the word of man
but the word of God
foreign
aspect of the Quran is that it revealed
beforehand a number of important events
that would occur in the future
the 27th verse of Surat al-fat for
example gave the Believers Glad Tidings
that they would conquer Mecca which was
then under the occupation of pagans
God has confirmed his messenger's Vision
with truth
you will enter the Masjid al-haram in
safety God willing shaving your heads
and cutting your hair without any fear
he knew what you did not know and
ordained in place of this an imminent
victory
in close consideration the verse is seen
to announce yet another victory that
will take place before the victory of
Mecca
indeed as stated in the verse the
Believers first conquered the Khyber
Fortress which was under the control of
the Jews and then entered Mecca
foreign
gives about the future is found in the
first verses of Surat arum in these
verses it is stated that the Byzantine
Empire had met with a great defeat but
that it would soon gain victory
the Romans had been defeated in the land
nearby but after their defeat they will
themselves be victorious in a few years
time the affair is Gods from beginning
to end
these verses were revealed around 620 CE
almost seven years after the severe
defeat of Christian Byzantium at the
hands of the Persians when the
byzantines Lost Jerusalem
yet it was related in the verses that
Byzantium would shortly be victorious
in fact Byzantium had then suffered such
heavy losses that it seemed impossible
for it even to maintain its existence
let alone be victorious again
not only the Persians but also avars
Slavs and Lombards posed serious threats
to the Byzantine Empire
the avars had come as far as the walls
of Constantinople
the Byzantine emperor heraclius had
ordered the gold and silver in churches
to be melted and turned into money in
order to meet the expenses of the army
many Governors had revolted against
Emperor herethlis and the empire was on
the point of collapse
Mesopotamia cilicia
Syria Palestine Egypt and Armenia which
earlier belonged to Byzantium were
invaded by the idolater Persians
in short everyone was expecting the
Byzantine Empire to be destroyed but
right at that moment
the first verses of Surah our room were
revealed announcing that Byzantium would
gain Triumph in a few years time
around seven years after the revelation
of the first verses of Surat arum in
December 627 CE a decisive battle
between Byzantium and Persian Empire was
fought at Nineveh and this time the
Byzantine Army surprisingly defeated the
Persians a few months later the Persians
had to make an agreement with Byzantium
which obligated them to return the
territories they had taken from them at
the end the victory of the Romans
proclaimed by God in the Quran
miraculously came true
another miracle revealed in these verses
is the announcement of a geographical
fact that could not be discovered by
anyone in that period
thank you
in the third verse of Surah we are
informed that the Romans had been
defeated in the lowest region of the
Earth
this expression Edna in Arabic is
interpreted as a nearby place in many
translations yet this is not the literal
meaning of the original statement but
rather a figurative interpretation of it
the word Edna in Arabic is derived from
the word Deni which means Lo
and aard which means world
therefore the expression
means the lowest place on the Earth
most interestingly crucial stages of the
war fought between the Byzantine Empire
and the Persians when the byzantines
were defeated in Lost Jerusalem had
really taken place at the lowest point
on Earth
this specified region is the Basin of
the Dead Sea which is situated at the
intersection point of the lands
belonging to Syria Palestine and Jordan
the Dead Sea lying at 395 meters below
sea level is the lowest region of the
Earth this means that the byzantines
were defeated at the lowest part of the
world just as is stated in the verse the
most interesting point lies in the fact
that the altitude of the Dead Sea could
only be measured with modern measurement
techniques before that it was impossible
for anyone to know that it was the
lowest region on the surface of the
Earth
yet this region was stated to be the
lowest point on the earth in the Quran
hence this provides another evidence
that the Quran is divine revelation
