EMBRYOLOGY-EMBRIOLOGIJA

Što se tiče embriologije jedna grupa arapskih studenata je sakupila sav materijal u Kur`anu koji se bavi embriologijom, povodeći se za ajetom iz Kur `ana, u suri Furkan 25. ajet 59:
„On je Milostivi i upitaj o Njemu onoga koji zna“.
Tako su, dakle oni sakupili te ajete iz Kur`ana i predočili ih profesoru Keat mooru, prof. Keatmoor je predsjednik odjeljka za anatomiju na univerzitetu u torontu, u Kanadi.On je jedan od vodećih svjetskih autoriteta na polju embriologije.Kada je prof. Keatmoore prostudirao prevode ajeta koji se tiču embriologije , rekao je da se največi dio onoga što tu piše poklapa sa NAJNOVIJIM naučnim otkrićima iz oblasti embriologije.Međutim kaže on, ovdje ima stvari za koje ne mogu baš reći da su tačne, ali ne mogu reći ni da nisu netačne, jer ni ja lično ne znam ništa o tim stvarima jedna od tih riječi bila je u suri Alek 96 ajet 1 i 2:
„Čitaj, u ime Gospodara tvoga koji stvara, stvara čovjeka od nečega što se zakvači“…
-od nečega što podsječa na pijavicu.Prof. Keatmoore je rekao: ja ne znam da li embrion izgleda kao pijavica ili ne!Zatim je otišao u labaratoriju i pomoću velikog i snažnog mikroskopa je posmatrao embrion u njegovoj najranijoj fazi razvoja, i upoređivao ga sa fotografijom pijavice, bio je zapanjen tolikom sličnošću! Kada su mu postavili 80 pitanja u vezi embriologije, na osnovama kur`anskih i hadiskih tekstova, on je rekao:
Da ste mi ova pitanja postavili prije samo 30 godina , ne bih bio u stanju odgovoriti ni na pola od tih pitanja! Jer, embriologija je mlada nauka u razvoju, počela se razvijati ne više od 50 godina.Prof. Keatmoore je napisao knjigu „Razvoj čovjeka“ i u najnovijem izdanju, trećem po redu, i ubacio neke nove činjenice, koje je pronašao u Kur `anu i Hadisu.
Ta knjiga je proglašena za najbolju knjigu iz oblasti medicine od svih knjiga koje su objavljenje te godine!Nešto kasnije, njegova knjiga je prevedena na brojne strane jezike…
Prof. Keatmore je rekao: - ja ne gajim nikakve sumnje da je vjerovjesnik Muhammed s.a.w.s. bio poslanik Uzvišenog Boga, i da Kur`an MORA biti posljednja Božija Objava!
U suri Tarik, 86 ajet 5-7, Uzvišeni kaže:
„Nek čovjek pogleda od čeka je stvoren!stvoren je od tekućine koja se izbaci, koja između kičme i grudi izlazi“.
Danas mi znamo da se testisi kod muškaraca i jajnici kod žena u fazi dok su embrioni razvijaju se u odnosu na oblik odraslog čovjeka između kičme i grudi.Međutim,kasnije, kod odrasle osobe ovi organi se premještaju na druga mjesta, al u periodu dok su embrioni, nalaze se na mjestu o kojem Kur`an govori, između kičme i grudi.Čak i kad osoba odraste, ovi organi dobijaju krv i ostale potrebštine sa istog mjesta, između kičme i grudi.
Kur`an napominje u suri Mu`minun 23. ajet 13;
„zatim ga kao kap sjemena (nutfe)“,
kao i u suri hadždž 22. ajet 5 ;
„Mi vas stvaramo od zemlje, zatim od kapi sjemena“
Arapska riječ „nutfe“, u smislu da su od NUTFE stvoreni ljudi u Kur`anu se spominje čak 11 puta!Sama riječ „nutfe“ kao riječ se u Kur´anu spominje 12 puta ali u kontekstu stvaranja čovjeka spominje se 11 puta.Riječ „nutfe“ u arapskom jeziku označava vrlo malu količinu tečnosti Kur`an u suri Sedžda 32. ajet 8 ;
„a potomstvo njegovo stvara od kapi hude tekućine“,
Arapska riječ “SULALA“ znači – glavni dio, odnosno najbolji dio neke cjeline.Mi danas znamo da zapravo samo jedan spermatozoid oplodi jajnu čeliju.Samo jedan spermatozoid, od desetine miliona koji se izbace, može da oplodi jajnu čeliju.Kur ` an to naziva „SULALA“ najbolji dio „NUTFA“ , nešto minijaturno…
U suri Insan 76. ajet 2, kaže se:
„Mi čovjeka od smjese sjemena stvaramo“
– odnosno od tečne mješavine.Ovo može upućivati na muške i ženske polne ćelije, kao i na „NUTFU“ na malu količinu tečnosti. Može i upućivati na sjemenu tečnost kod muškaraca, koja sadrži nekoliko različitih sastojaka. Može takođe upućivati na sekret ili tečnost koja nosi polne ćelije, ali ona sama nema moć oplođavanja. Kur’an ovo naziva „nutfetun emšadž“- mala količina tečne mješavine, muških i ženskih polnih ćelija, okruženih tečnošču koja je odgovorna za rođenje ljudskog bića.
In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man’s embryonic development:
We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance) (Quran, 23:12-14)
Literally, the Arabic word alaqah has three meanings: (1) leech, (2) suspended thing, and (3) blood clot.
In comparing a leech to an embryo in the alaqah stage, we find similarity between the two as we can see in figure 1. Also, the embryo at this stage obtains nourishment from the blood of the mother, similar to the leech, which feeds on the blood of others.
|
|
| Figure 1: Drawings illustrating the similarities in appearance between a leech and a human embryo at the alaqah stage. (Leech drawing from Human Development as Described in the Quran and Sunnah, Moore and others, p. 37, modified from Integrated Principles of Zoology, Hickman and others. Embryo drawing from The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 73.) |
The second meaning of the word alaqah is “suspended thing.” This is what we can see in figures 2 and 3, the suspension of the embryo, during the alaqah stage, in the womb of the mother.
| Figure 2: We can see in this diagram the suspension of an embryo during the alaqah stage in the womb (uterus) of the mother. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 66.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) | |
| Figure 3: In this photomicrograph, we can see the suspension of an embryo (marked B) during the alaqah stage (about 15 days old) in the womb of the mother. The actual size of the embryo is about 0.6 mm. (The Developing Human, Moore, 3rd ed., p. 66, from Histology, Leeson and Leeson.) |
|
The third meaning of the word alaqah is “blood clot.” We find that the external appearance of the embryo and its sacs during the alaqah stage is similar to that of a blood clot. This is due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo during this stage(see figure 4). Also during this stage, the blood in the embryo does not circulate until the end of the third week. Thus, the embryo at this stage is like a clot of blood
So the three meanings of the word alaqah correspond accurately to the descriptions of the embryo at the alaqah stage.
The next stage mentioned in the verse is the mudghah stage. The Arabic word mudghah means “chewed substance.” If one were to take a piece of gum and chew it in his or her mouth and then compare it with an embryo at the mudghah stage, we would conclude that the embryo at the mudghah stage acquires the appearance of a chewed substance. This is because of the somites at the back of the embryo that “somewhat resemble teethmarks in a chewed substance.” (see figures 5 and 6).
| Figure 5: Photograph of an embryo at the mudghah stage (28 days old). The embryo at this stage acquires the appearance of a chewed substance, because the somites at the back of the embryo somewhat resemble teeth marks in a chewed substance. The actual size of the embryo is 4 mm. (The Developing Human, Moore and Persaud, 5th ed., p. 82, from Professor Hideo Nishimura, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.) |
|
| Figure 6: When comparing the appearance of an embryo at the mudghah stage with a piece of gum that has been chewed, we find similarity between the two. |
Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore is one of the world’s most prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology and is the author of the book entitled The Developing Human, which has been translated into eight languages. This book is a scientific reference work and was chosen by a special committee in the United States as the best book authored by one person. Dr. Keith Moore is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. There, he was Associate Dean of Basic Sciences at the Faculty of Medicine and for 8 years was the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy. In 1984, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists. He has directed many international associations, such as the Canadian and American Association of Anatomists and the Council of the Union of Biological Sciences.
In 1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor 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, 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.” (To view the RealPlayer video of this comment click here

Consequently, Professor Moore was asked the following question: “Does this mean that you believe that the Quran is the word of God?” He replied: “I find no difficulty in accepting this.”

Danas će nam geolozi reći, da Zemlja, na kojoj mi živimo, na površini je hladna i čvrsta, a u dubinama je vrela i tečna, i negostoljubiva na živa bića. Geolozi će nam takođe reći da je Zemljina kora vrlo tanka, jedva nešto između 1 i 10 milja. Manje od jednog procenta Zemljine kore ima debljinu do 3.750 milja. Pošto je Zemljina kora vrlo tanka, postoji ogromna mogućnost njenog pomjeranja. Geolozi kažu da je takozvani- fenomen slaganja doveo do pojave visokih planina, koje Zemlju štite od pomjeranja, poput klinova ili stubova.
Kur’an kaže u suri Nebe’ poglavlje 78, ajet 6-7,
„Zar Zemlju posteljom nismo učinili i planine stupovima…“
Arapska riječ ewtad znači – klin, stub, a to smo tek nedavno otkrili!
U suri Gašia, poglavlje 88, ajet 19, kao i u suri Naziat, poglavlje 79, ajet 32, kaže se:
„…i planine je učinio nepomičnim…“
Postoji knjiga koja se zove - ZEMLJA -, koja je veliki autoritet na ovom polju, koju prihvata većina svjetskih univerziteta.
„Funkcija planina je da stabilizuju Zemljinu koru:“
Kur’an nam daje istu informaciju u suri Enbija, poglavlje 21, ajet 31, kao i u suri Lukman, poglavlje 31, ajet 10, i u suri Nahl, poglavlje 16, ajet 15:
„On je po Zemlji nepomična brda pobacao da vas ona ne potresa…“
Kur’an nam je objasnio funkciju planina još prije 1400 godina, a to smo tek danas otkrili. Što se tiče okeanologije, u suri Furkan, poglavlje 25, ajet 53,
Uzvišeni kaže:
„On je dvije vodene površine jednu pored druge ostavio- jedna je pitka i slatka, druga slana i gorka, a između njih je pregradu i nevidljivu branu postavio.“
Kur’an ponavlja poruku, u suri Rahman, poglavlje 55, ajet 19-20,
„Pustioo je dva mora da se dodiruju, između njih je pregrada i oni se ne miješaju.“
Arapska riječ BERZEH znači – pregrada, barijera. Prethodni komentatori nisu mogli baš razumjeti dva suprotstavljena opisa, dvije vodene zapremine. Oni se susreću i dodiruju, a opet- između njih je pregrada. Komentatori nisu mogli objasniti, šta ovaj ajet ustvari znači, zbunjivao je ljude…
Danas, uz pomoć nauke, došli smo do otkrića, između slatke vode i slane vode. Kad god neka količina jedne vode, pređe u drugu vodu, ona izgubi svoje karakteristike, postaje homogenizovana. Postoji pregrada, a ta se pregrada naziva – tranzicijski homogenizovani prostor ili oblast. Jedna voda- druga voda, susreću se i dodiruju, ali svaka zadržava svoje karakteristike. Slana voda ostaje slana, slatka voda ostaje slatka. Ovakav primjer možemo vidjeti u Egiptu, dok se Nil ulijeva u Sredozemno more, kao i primjer rijeke Galstrim koja nastaje u Meksiku. Same vode, slane i slatke, razlikuju se. Ako putujete brodom, pa zastanete, uzmete vode sa jednog kraja broda, i umete vode sa drugog kraja, vidjet ćete da se te vode razlikuju. Čak im je i temperatura različita! Čak i u oblasti Gibraltarskog moreuza postoji nevidljiva pregrada između Sredozemnog mora i Atlanskog okeana.
Ovaj fenomen o kojem Kur’an govori, potvrdila je i američka mornarica.
A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots. These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see figures 7, 8, and 9).
|
|
| Figure 7: Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.) |
| Figure 8: Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) |
| Figure 9: Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots. (Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 158.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) |
This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:
Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)
Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground.2 So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word ‘peg,’ since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:
And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)
Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s.
Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad have known of the true shape of mountains?
Could anyone imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large number of books of geology, when discussing mountains, only describe that part which is above the surface of the earth. This is because these books were not written by specialists in geology. However, modern geology has confirmed the truth of the Quranic verses.

Teoriji Velikog praska,da je kosmos u početku bio jedna cjelina pa se u djeliću sekunde raskomadao,a to je dovelo do formiranja galaksija,u okviru kojih su nastali sistemi kao što je naš Sunčev sistem, i Zemlja na kojoj mi živimo.
Ovaj govor sam započeo citiranjem riječi iz Časnog Kur’ana,iz sure El-Enbija,ajet30..
“Zar ne znaju nevjernici da su nebesa i Zemlja bili jedna cjelina, pa smo ih Mi raskomadali…“
Ovako Kur’an sa malo riječi govori o teoriji Velikog praska. Zamislite Kur’an je spomenuo još prije 1400godina!
U časnom Kur’anu,u suri Fussilet, poglavlje 41.u 11. ajetu se kaže:
„ Zatim se prema nebu usmjerio dok je nebo još maglina bilo,pa je njemu i Zemlji rekao:-Pojavite se milom ili silom!-Pojavljujemo se drage volje!-odgovorili su.“ Arapska riječ koja je ovdje upotrebljena ja DUHAN,ŠTO ZNAČI –dim.,da je kosmos prije nego što je dobio ovaj oblik,bio posebna vrsta gasa. Arapska riječ duhan, što znači dim, je naučno ispravnija nego riječ prašina. Stiven Hokins, veoma poznati naučnik ,rekao je:najveće je otkriće stoljeća,i baca svjetlo na početak stvaranja kosmosa i na teoriju Velikog praska…..
Isprije ljudi su vjerovali da je svijet ravan,pa su se plašili putovati predaleko,da nebi pali sa Zemlje.
U suri Lukman,poglavlje31.,29.ajet,Uzvišeni kaže:
“Zar ne vidiš da Allah uvodi noć u dan idanu noć…“UVODJENJE je spor i postepen proces,noć se polahko i postepeno mijenja u dan, a dan se polahko i postepeno mijenja u noć…
Ovaj fenomen je moguć samo ako je Zemlja okrugla,a ne bi bio moguć da je Zemlja ravna…Da je ravna, ove promjene bi bile nagle.
U suri Zumer,u 5. ajetu,Uzvišeni kaže:
„Nebesa i Zemlju je mudro i s istinom stvorio. On noću zavija dan idanom zavija noć…“ Arapska riječ koja je ovdje upotrebljena je KEWWERE. Kako će te obaviti turban oko glave? Ovo obavijanje ili zavijanje dana u noć i noći u dan jedino je moguće ako je Zemlja okrugla.
Dalje u Kur’anu u suri Naziat poglavlje 79.u30.ajetu, Uzvišeni kaže:
„Poslije toga je Zemlju rasprostro…“Arapska riječ DEHAHA izvorno dolazi od riječi koja znači- jaje,i to ne bilo koje, već se njeno značenje specijalno odnosi na NOJEVO JAJE! Danas nam je poznato da Zemlja nije potpuno okrugla kao lopta,već ima elipsoidan oblik-blago spljoštena na polovima i izdužena na ekvatoru. Ako pogledate nojevo jaje ono ima baš takav oblik odozgo blago spljošteno,a izduženo sa strana. Dakle, Kur’an nam daje precizan opis elipsoidne Zemlje još prije 1400 godina! Doskora smo vjerovali da Mjesec ima svoju svjetlost. Tek nedavno je otkriveno da Mjesečeva svjetlost ustvari refleksija svjetlosti sa sunca.
U suri Furkan, u 61.ajetu Uzvišeni kaže:
„Neka je Uzvišen Onaj Koji je na nebu velike zvijezde stvorio, i na njemu da Svjetiljku i Mjesec koji sija…“
The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of ‘smoke’ (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke’ (see figures 10 and 11).
|
|
| Figure 10: A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the ‘smoke’ that was the origin of the whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, p. 50.) |
| Figure 11: The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter. It is excited by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have recently formed within its bulk. (Horizons, Exploring the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) |
The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran:
Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... (Quran, 41:11)
Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran:
Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... (Quran, 21:30)
Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.” (To view the RealPlayer video of this comment click here
). Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.” (View the RealPlayer video of this comment

Ovaj fenomen o kojem Kur’an govori, potvrdila je i američka mornarica.
Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density. For example, Mediterranean sea water is warm, saline, and less dense, compared to Atlantic ocean water. When Mediterranean sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1000 meters with its own warm, saline, and less dense characteristics. The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth(see figure 13).
| Figure 13: The Mediterranean sea water as it enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill with its own warm, saline, and less dense characteristics, because of the barrier that distinguishes between them. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (C°). (Marine Geology, Kuenen, p. 43, with a slight enhancement.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) |
Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.
The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God has said:
He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress. (Quran, 55:19-20)
But when the Quran speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of “a forbidding partition” with the barrier. God has said in the Quran:
He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. (Quran, 25:53)
One may ask, why did the Quran mention the partition when speaking about the divider between fresh and salt water, but did not mention it when speaking about the divider between the two seas?
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a “pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers.” This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water(see figure 14).
| Figure 14: Longitudinal section showing salinity (parts per thousand ‰) in an estuary. We can see here the partition (zone of separation) between the fresh and the salt water. (Introductory Oceanography, Thurman, p. 301, with a slight enhancement.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) |
This information has been discovered only recently, using advanced equipment to measure temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility, etc. The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise, the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: fresh water, salt water, and the partition (zone of separation).

Čak su i filozofi vjerovali čitavih 17 vijekova da se voda koja se odvoji od soli kondenzuje u planinskim vrhovima, pa se nakon toga formiraju jezera,od kojih potiču izvori.
Danas nam je poznato da izvori dolaze direktno od kiše.
U suri Zummer,poglavlje 39,ajet 21.,Uzvišeni kaže:
„Zar ne vidiš da Allah spušta s neba kišu,pa je u izvore u zemlji razvodi,a onda pomoću nje raznobojno bilje izvodi…“
Sličan ajet imamo u suri Rum,poglavlje30,ajet24.
„…i to što spušta s neba kišu i oživljava njome zemlju nakon njena mrtvila…“

Arapska riječ koja je ovdje upotrebljena ,LEWAKIH,dolazi od glagola LEKKAHA,što znači –oploditi…Vjetrovi sakupljaju pelud, polen,kojim oplođavaju oblake ,pa tek onda kiša pada. Vjetrovi su uzrok kretanja oblaka, njihovoj kondenzaciji,munjama iz njih,kao i kiši koja iz njih pada… Kur’an opisuje kompletan proces kruženja vode. Kako voda isparava, kako se formiraju oblaci, kako se oni premještaju, kako kiša pada, kako se voda vraća u more, na nekoliko mjesta, u suri Nur, poglavlje 24, ajet 43, u suri Nebe, poglavlje 78, ajet 12-14, kao i u suri Rum, poglavlje 30, ajet 48. u suri Nur, poglavlje 24, ajet 43,
Uzvišeni kaže:
„On s neba, iz oblaka koji su veličine brda, spušta grad…“
Na šta se to mislilo riječima- VELIČINE BRDA? Ako je neko od vas putovao avionom, vidjet će, kada se avion popne iznad oblaka, i kada gleda ispod aviona- da oblaci odozgo podsjećaju na planinske sisteme. Kur’an je ovo pomenuo prije 1400 godina!Nije bilo aviona prije 1400 godina!Kur’an opisuje hidrologiju i kretanja vode na mnogim mjestima.
Kao na primjer: u suri Ali Imran, poglavlje 3, ajet 9, u suri Araf, poglavlje 7, ajet 57, u suri Ra’d, poglavlje 13, ajet 17, u suri Furkan, poglavlje 25, ajet 48-49, u suri Fatir, poglavlje 35, ajet 9, u suri Ya-sin, poglavlje 36, ajet 34, u suri Džasije, poglavlje 45, ajet 5, u suri Kaf, poglavlje 50, ajet 9-10, u suri Wakia, poglavlje 56, ajet 68-70, kao i u suri Mulk, poglavlje 67, ajet 30, - Kur’an opisuje kretanje vode ceoma precizno.
Scientists have studied cloud types and have realized that rain clouds are formed and shaped according to definite systems and certain steps connected with certain types of wind and clouds.
One kind of rain cloud is the cumulonimbus cloud. Meteorologists have studied how cumulonimbus clouds are formed and how they produce rain, hail, and lightning.
They have found that cumulonimbus clouds go through the following steps to produce rain:
1) The clouds are pushed by the wind: Cumulonimbus clouds begin to form when wind pushes some small pieces of clouds (cumulus clouds) to an area where these clouds converge (see figures 17 and 18).

2) Joining: Then the small clouds join together forming a larger cloud (see figures 18 and 19).
| Figure 19: (A) Isolated small pieces of clouds (cumulus clouds). (B) When the small clouds join together, updrafts within the larger cloud increase, so the cloud is stacked up. Water drops are indicated by ·. (The Atmosphere, Anthes and others, p. 269.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.) |
3) Stacking: When the small clouds join together, updrafts within the larger cloud increase. The updrafts near the center of the cloud are stronger than those near the edges. These updrafts cause the cloud body to grow vertically, so the cloud is stacked up (see figures 19 (B), 20, and 21). This vertical growth causes the cloud body to stretch into cooler regions of the atmosphere, where drops of water and hail formulate and begin to grow larger and larger. When these drops of water and hail become too heavy for the updrafts to support them, they begin to fall from the cloud as rain, hail, etc.

God has said in the Quran:
Have you not seen how God makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a stack, and then you see the rain come out of it(Quran, 24:43)
Meteorologists have only recently come to know these details of cloud formation, structure, and function by using advanced equipment like planes, satellites, computers, balloons, and other equipment, to study wind and its direction, to measure humidity and its variations, and to determine the levels and variations of atmospheric pressure.
The preceding verse, after mentioning clouds and rain, speaks about hail and lightning:
And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds) in the sky, and He strikes with it whomever He wills, and turns it from whomever He wills. The vivid flash of its lightning nearly blinds the sight. (Quran, 24:43)
Meteorologists have found that these cumulonimbus clouds, that shower hail, reach a height of 25,000 to 30,000 ft (4.7 to 5.7 miles), like mountains, as the Quran said, “...And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds) in the sky...” (see figure 21 above).
This verse may raise a question. Why does the verse say “its lightning” in a reference to the hail? Does this mean that hail is the major factor in producing lightning? Let us see what the book entitled Meteorology Today says about this. It says that a cloud becomes electrified as hail falls through a region in the cloud of supercooled droplets and ice crystals.
As liquid droplets collide with a hailstone, they freeze on contact and release latent heat. This keeps the surface of the hailstone warmer than that of the surrounding ice crystals. When the hailstone comes in contact with an ice crystal, an important phenomenon occurs: electrons flow from the colder object toward the warmer object. Hence, the hailstone becomes negatively charged. The same effect occurs when supercooled droplets come in contact with a hailstone and tiny splinters of positively charged ice break off. These lighter positively charged particles are then carried to the upper part of the cloud by updrafts. The hail, left with a negative charge, falls towards the bottom of the cloud, thus the lower part of the cloud becomes negatively charged. These negative charges are then discharged as lightning. We conclude from this that hail is the major factor in producing lightning.
