This is a picture of all of my Arabic dictionaries that I've used and will be using for this project,
insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing). Very soon, insha'Allah, I will capture all of the
quotes that I
copied, and post them in this article to leave no doubt to the reader about what you see below
from Arabic and translations is true and authentic. The dictionaries are:

For the ones I have already used I have quoted them precisely and verbatim, below, to
demonstrate how
the Arabs of Old, before Islam and during the days of Islam, understood the Key Holy Words
that are
analyzed in great details below, and how these Words meant to them in their poetries,
sayings,
and interpretations of the Holy Quran and the Hadiths.
2- The moon's S-shaped orbit, reflection of light, and the curvy orbits of the celestial bodies.
3- Geology of the Earth, its Shape, its Movement in Space, its Atmosphere, and the Formation
of Rain.
6- So why didn't the early Muslims interpret the Holy Quran with these meanings then?? (Hint:
Were the illiterate Bedouins Scientists?)

Important Note:
It is very important to remember that Allah Almighty's choice of the Holy Words below was
for a Divine Purpose and not just by chance. There were many other choices of words that
Allah Almighty could've chosen, but He Chose the ones below because they carried far deeper
meanings in them that only Science today was able to unveil and confirm. These Holy Words
were used by Allah Almighty to describe how He, the Almighty, Created the Universe and many
of the creations in it. The Holy Words are in perfect harmony with Science and with the way the
Universe was truly created by Allah Almighty.
The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These are statements of Allah
Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe. What's most amazing
is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement
with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran
be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for
Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims,
Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today
with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man
1,500 years ago.
Allah Almighty Said: "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their
selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards
your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
Note: When the Arabic word's meaning is listed only in English without Arabic and
transliteration, then the word was taken from the Arabic-English dictionaries of Al-Mawrid [4]
and Cowan [5].

"Probing The Cosmic Web Of The Universe: New Light On Dark Energy
ScienceDaily (Jan. 30, 2008) — Astronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope to measure
the distribution and motions of thousands of galaxies in the distant Universe. This opens
fascinating perspectives to better understand what drives the acceleration of the cosmic
expansion and sheds new light on the mysterious dark energy that is thought to permeate the
Universe.
.......
The technique is based on a well-known phenomenon, namely the fact that the apparent motion
of distant galaxies results from two effects: the global expansion of the Universe that pushes the
galaxies away from each other and the gravitational attraction of matter present in the galaxies'
neighbourhood that pulls them together, creating the cosmic web of large-scale structures."

As Allah Almighty was creating the earth and the Universe, the Heaven was still a hot smoke.
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’. 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’:
The following articles give a great deal of Miracles about the Earth's Astronomy:
The Big Bang Theory and the Cosmic Crunch in the Noble Quran.
The sun rays that we see during the day are different from the ones seen in space!
The 7 layers of earth and iron was sent down from space.
The breathing cycle during the day on planet earth by the plants, humans and animals -
mentioned in the Noble Quran and confirmed by Science!
Lack of Oxygen and painful low pressure in space. Science confirmed the Noble Quran's
Divine Claim.
The Universe is "expanding" according to the Noble Quran. Scientists already proved this
claim to be true.
The darkness of oceans and disappearance of light was mentioned in the Noble Quran and
confirmed by Science.
The Lunar Calendar is the most accurate calendar - mentioned in the Noble Quran and
confirmed by Science. Also the precise calculation of difference between the Gregorian and
Lunar calendars is demonstrated in the Noble Quran.
(The following Noble Verse was suggested to me by brother Mahir Karaosmanovic, may Allah

Article #1:
The following reference from Wikipedia was sent to me by brother Mahir Karaosmanovic; may
Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:
Future
See also: Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth
The future of the planet is closely tied to that of the Sun. As a result of the steady accumulation
of helium ash at the Sun's core, the star's total luminosity will slowly increase. The luminosity of
the Sun will increase by 10 percent over the next 1.1 billion years (1.1 Gyr), and by 40% over the
next 3.5 Gyr.[118] Climate models indicate that the rise in radiation reaching the Earth is
likely to have dire consequences, including the possible loss of the planet's oceans.[119]
The Earth's increasing surface temperature will accelerate the inorganic CO2 cycle, reducing its
concentration to the lethal levels for plants (10 ppm for C4 photosynthesis) in 900 million years.
But even if the Sun were eternal and stable, the continued internal cooling of the Earth would
have resulted in a loss of much of its atmosphere and oceans (due to lower volcanism).[120]
After another billion years the surface water will have completely disappeared.[121]
The Sun, as part of its solar lifespan, will expand to a red giant in about 5 Gyr. Models predict
that the Sun will expand out to about 99% of the distance to the Earth's present orbit (1
astronomical unit, or AU). However, by that time, the orbit of the Earth may have expanded to
about 1.7 AUs because of the diminished mass of the Sun. The planet might thus escape
envelopment by the expanded Sun's sparse outer atmosphere, though most (if not all) existing
life will have been destroyed by the Sun's proximity to the Earth.[118]
What happends when all oceans disappear? The herbage and growth will not get any rain on it because of the rain cycle being stoped when no
water exists on earth to "Send back" water as Allah allmighty explains in several verses!
Article #2:
"Life cycle
Main articles: Formation and evolution of the solar system and Stellar evolution
The Sun's current main sequence age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and
nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.[7]
It is thought that about 4.59 billion years ago, the rapid collapse of a hydrogen molecular cloud
led to the formation of a third generation T Tauri Population I star, the Sun. The nascent star
assumed a nearly circular orbit about 26,000 light-years from the centre of the Milky Way
Galaxy.[8]
The Sun is about halfway through its main-sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion
reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million tonnes of
matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation;
at this rate, the Sun will have so far converted around 100 Earth-masses of matter into energy.
The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main sequence star.
The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead, in 5–6 billion years, it
will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is
consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the core
temperature reaches around 100 MK, and will produce carbon and oxygen, entering the
asymptotic giant branch of a planetary nebula phase in about 7.8 billion years, during which
instabilities in interior temperature lead the surface of the sun to shed mass. While it is likely that
the expansion of the outer layers of the Sun will reach the current position of Earth's orbit, recent
research suggests that mass lost from the Sun earlier in its red giant phase will cause the Earth's
orbit to move further out, preventing it from being engulfed.[9] However, Earth's water will be
boiled away and most of its atmosphere will escape into space. The increase in solar
temperatures over this period is sufficient that by about 900 million years into the future, the
surface of the Earth will become too hot for the survival of life as we know it.[10] After
another billion years the surface water will have completely disappeared.[11]
[015:022] And We send the fecundating (or fertilizing) winds, then cause the rain
to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are
not the guardians of its stores.
Transliteration:
15:22 ﺎزﻧﻴﻦ وارﺳ ﻠﻨﺎ اﻟﺮﻳ ﺎح ﻟ ﻮاﻗﺢ ﻓﺎﻧﺰﻟﻨ ﺎ ﻣ ﻦ اﻟﺴ ﻤﺎء ﻣ ﺎء ﻓﺎﺳ ﻘﻴﻨﺎآﻤﻮﻩ وﻣ ﺎاﻧﺘﻢ ﻟ ﻪ ﺑﺨ
"Modern science tells us that the growth of clouds and precipitation require that
the
winds fertilize the clouds with a quantity of microscopic
particles called condensation nuclei. The most important qualities of these
seeds are that they draw water or dissolve into it. The winds also carry water vapor to the clouds
so they will produce rain. The process goes on with the coming together of numerous particles of
water in the atmosphere around these condensation nuclei.
The smallest droplet of water is made up of at least 100 molecules. It is not easy
for such a number to come together by mere coincidence without there being
nuclei to precipitate upon.
These particles are preserved. In this way, people have come to know that the Qur’anic verse
points to how the winds fertilize the clouds with water vapor then with condensation nuclei as a
precursor to the existence of rain. Allah says:
See you not that Allah drives the clouds gently, then joins them together, then
makes them into a heap of layers and you see the rain comes forth from between
them; and they are like mountains in the sky from which He sends down hail, and
strikes therewith whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The vivid
flash of the clouds’ lightning nearly blinds the sight.
Meteorologists say that rain requires the development of precipitating clouds.
Among these rain clouds are cumulonimbus clouds that form in a vertical
direction. They can extend upwards of twenty kilometers. These cumulonimbus
clouds have three layers. The lowest level consists of growing drops of water. The
middle layer contains water droplets having temperatures below freezing that are still in a liquid
form. As for the highest layer, it is comprised of pure white ice crystals. Allah has made the
water droplets that are above freezing unstable, capable of freezing by merely plunging into a
solid body. This is why when ice crystals fall from the highest layer to the middle layer and meet
with water that is above freezing, the crystals adhere to these droplets and freeze with them,
swiftly increasing their size."
(http://www.islamtoday.com/discover_islam.cfm?cat_id=6&sub_cat_id=42)
5- From Wikipedia:
"Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs (also known as cloud seeds) are small particles (typically
0.0002 mm, or 1/100 th the size of a cloud droplet [1]) about which cloud droplets coalesce.
Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid. In the
atmosphere, this surface presents itself as tiny solid or liquid particles called CCNs. When no
CCNs are present, water vapour can be supercooled below 0 °C (32 °F) before droplets
spontaneously form (this is the basis of the cloud chamber for detecting subatomic particles)."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_condensation_nuclei)
6- From Wikipedia:
"Coalescence is the process by which two or more droplets or particles merge during
contact to form a single daughter droplet (or bubble). It can take
place in many processes, ranging from meteorology to astrophysics. For example, it is both
involved in the formation of raindrops as well as planetary and star formation."

the right and the left, like the English-letter S!
Remember that the English language, and its letter S were not known to Arabia! And as our
scientists today say that the moon orbits the earth in S-shaped loops, Allah Almighty also Said
that the moon orbits the earth in dry and twisted date-tree branches loops, that curve to the
right and to the left, which is S-loops.
That is why Allah Almighty Said looking like AN OLD date tree
branch.

Article #3:
"The Lunar Month
Another example of compound motions is the Lunar Month, which combines these two motions:
1. Theorbit of the Moon around the Earth, which appears as
an eastward motion relative to the stars. This takes about 27.3 days to complete one
orbit with respect to the stars (the sidereal month).
2. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun, which causes the location of the Sun to slowly move
eastward along the Ecliptic." (Source)
The moon's orbit around earth appears as an 'eastward motion.' So what is an eastward motion,
in general, for any planet? It is an S-shaped orbit as the next article says.
Article #4:
"....the planet appears to speed up relative to the stars and begins moving faster than the stars
toward the west, before it settles back into drifting once again toward the east each day. This
sudden motion to the west is called "retrograde motion," since the planet seems to be
regressing from its eastward drift. In this strange type of motion, the planet forms a looping or
S-shaped path against the background of the stars...." (Source)
Article #5:
"precession of the equinoxes, westward motion of the equinoxes along the ecliptic. This motion
was first noted by Hipparchus c.120 B.C. The precession is due to the gravitational attraction of
the moon and sun on the equatorial bulge of the earth, which causes the earth's axis to describe a
cone in somewhat the same fashion as a spinning top. As a result, the celestial equator (see
equatorial coordinate system), which lies in the plane of the earth's equator, moves on the
celestial sphere, while the ecliptic, which lies in the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun, is
not affected by this motion. The equinoxes, which lie at the intersections of the celestial equator
and the ecliptic, thus move on the celestial sphere. Similarly, the celestial poles move in circles
on the celestial sphere, so that there is a continual change in the star at or near one of these poles
(see Polaris). After a period of about 26,000 years the equinoxes and poles lie once again at
nearly the same points on the celestial sphere. Because the gravitational effects of the sun and
moon are not always the same, there is some wobble in the motion of the earth's axis; this
wobble, called nutation, causes the celestial poles to move, not in perfect circles,
but in a series of S-shaped curves with a period of 18.6 years. There is some
further precession caused by the gravitational influences of the other planets; this precession
affects the earth's orbit around the sun and thus causes a shift of the ecliptic on the celestial
sphere. The precession of the earth's orbital plane is sometimes called planetary precession, and
that of the earth's equatorial plane (caused by the sun and moon) is called luni-solar precession;
the combined effect of the moon, the sun, and the planets is called general precession. Planetary
precession is much less than luni-solar precession. The precession of the equinoxes was first
explained by Isaac Newton in 1687." (Source)

"The sun rises each day and sets at the end of the day, giving one kind of light all the time, but it
moves, rising and setting at different points in the summer and winter, thus making the days
and nights longer or shorter alternatively according to the season. Its authority is in the daytime,
for it is the heavenly body that dominates the day. As for the moon, Allah has decreed that it
should pass through different phases. At the beginning of the month, the moon appears small
when it rises. It gives off little light, then on the second night its light increases and it rises to a
higher position, and the higher it rises the more light it gives -- even though it is reflected
from the sun -- until it becomes full on the fourteenth night of the month."
(http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=36&tid=43568)
"He created the night with its darkness and the day with its light, and they alternate without
ceasing. And He created the sun with its shining light, and the moon with its reflected light.
and He allotted their stages and gave them separate orbits in the heavens."
(http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=41&tid=46752......First big paragraph)
So why would Ibn Kathir come up with this statement, many centuries before man
discovered that the earth was spherical and that the moon does indeed reflect the sun's
light? Well, according to
5. Arabic-English dictionary the Hans Wehr dictionary [6], Page 1008, 1009.
ﺘﻨﺎر ( ﺑ ﻪ إﺳistanaara bihi): ( ﺷ ﻌﺎﻋﺔ إﺳﺘﻤ ّﺪistamadda shu'aaa'uh) was supplied by its light.
( اﻟﻤﻜ ﺎن اﻧ ﺎرanaara al-makaan): ( اﻟﻨ ﻮر ﻓﻴ ﻪ وﺿ ﻊwada'aa feehi al-noor) Put light into it, or
reflected light off of it.
ت
ِ ( ًﺿ ﺎيا اﻧ ﺎرت اﻟﺸ ﺠﺮو ﻧﻮّرnawwarat al-shajarah wa anaarat aydan): ( ﻧﻮرهﺎ اﺧﺮﺟﺖakhrajat
nooraha) The plant reflected the light off of itself, or it showed the light off of itself.
However, plants, as we know, are not a source of light.
ﺖ اﻧ ﺎر ( اﻟﻨﺒanaara al-nabtu): ( ﺣﺴ ﻦ و ﻇﻬﺮtha-hara wa hasan) the plant was revealed well
from light.
So clearly, when Allah Almighty Said that the sun is ( ﺿ ﻴﺎءdiyaa'a), a source of light, and the
moon a ﻧ ﻮرا, then clearly the moon:
1- Is reflecting to light, because it is ( ﺷ ﻌﺎﻋﺔ إﺳﺘﻤ ّﺪwas supplied by light), as this is the
meaning of إﺳ ﺘﻨﺎر, which is derived from the root word ﻧ ﻮرnoor.
2- Is reflecting to light, because it is ( ﺣﺴ ﻦ و ﻇﻬﺮwas revealed well from light) , as this is the
meaning of اﻧ ﺎر, as in اﻟﻨﺒ ﺖ اﻧ ﺎر.
3- Is reflecting to light, because it receives light from the sun and it is lighted and
revealed by it.
So which light is the moon reflecting? It is reflecting to the sun's ( ﺿ ﻴﺎءdiyaa'a). Again, هﻮ
ﻧ ﻮرا واﻟﻘﻤ ﺮ ﺿ ﻴﺎء اﻟﺸ ﻤﺲ ﺟﻌ ﻞ اﻟ ﺬﻳﻦ, and the moon is the noor ﻧ ﻮراto that diyaa'
ﺿ ﻴﺎءof the sun!
[071:016] "'And made the moon a (reflecting) light in their midst, and made the sun as a
(Glorious) Lamp?
Transliteration:
In this Noble Verse, Allah Almighty talked about the earth's atmospher and its 7
layers revealing the sun's lights that come from the sun and are reflected off of the
moon.
More on this in the Noble Quran soon, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).
( ﺿ ﻴﺎءdiyaa'a): اﻟﻀ ﻮء, ( ﻟ ﻚ اﺿ ﺎء ﻣﺎal-dawa', ma adaa'a laka) the light, and what it
originated from light to you.
• The following poem proves that ( ﺿ ﻴﺎءdiyaa'a) refers to the original light:
ت
ْ اﻏ ﱠﺮ وﺟﻬًﺎ اﻟﻨﺎ ُر ﻟﻨ ﺎ اﺿﺎ َء, ﻣُﻠﺘﺒِﺴًﺎ, ﺑﺎﻟﻔُﺆا ِد, إﻟﺘِﺒﺎﺳﺎThe fire has originated (ت
ْ اﺿﺎ َءis derived
from ) ﺿ ﻴﺎءfor us the light of a mighty glow, that will always be liked by the heart
(or something like that).
Notice here that the fire is the originator and the source of the light. And notice how
NOOR or a derivative of it wasn't used.
( إﺳﺘﻀ ﺎءistadaa'): ( ﻧﻮر ُﻩ إﺳﺘﻤ ّﺪistamadda noorahu) the original light stretched its NOOR
forth.
• Notice again how the fire in this sentence is the originator and the source of the light.
And notice how NOOR or a derivative of it wasn't used.
[024:035] Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. An example of its brilliance: there is a
lamp in a luminous niche. The lamp is in a glass which itself gleams like a radiant star. It is lit by
the oil of the blessed tree _ neither from the West nor the East. The oil of the lamp is ready to
glow by itself even without being kindled. The bright luminous light is atop another
brilliant light. Allah guides towards this light whomever He wants and Allah quotes this parable
for the people. Allah is knowledgeable of all things!

( دﻧ ﺖdanat): went down as in: ( ﻟﻠﻐ ﺮوب اﻟﺸ ﻤﺲ دﻧ ﺖdanat al-shamsu lil-ghuroob) the sun

Also, according to

• " ( " وﻻﺻ ﻠﺒﻨﻜﻢ ﻓ ﻲ ﺟ ﺬوع اﻟﻨﺨ ﻞThe Noble Quran, 20:71): اﻟﻤﻌ ﻨﻰ ﻋﻠ ﻰ ﺟ ﺬوع

So as we clearly see, the land which the Romans were defeated in were:
2- The most despicable lands, as the interpretation of Noble Verse 2:61 above, from Lisan Al-
Arab dictionary, along with the many other proofs that I've provided clearly prove that ADNA
means the LOWEST and MOST DESPISED.
3- At and near and around "ADNA" " ادﻧ ﻰTHE LAND" اﻻرض. And what is this "land"? It
is the most despicable and lowest land!
Important Note: Perhaps, that is why Allah Almighty preceded "land" ارضwith the definite
article THE ال, and didn't say: ارﺿ ﻜﻢ ادﻧ ﻰnear YOUR LAND! No, He, the Almighty, instead
said اﻻرض ادﻧ ﻰ- making the reference to a specific foreign land, which also happens to be the
lowest and most despicable one.
So ADNA ادﻧ ﻰhere is applied to the status of the land, making it despicable and lowest, and
with the definite article THE ال, the defeat of the Romans happened near and around that
referenced doomed piece of land.
The Romans had been defeated at near and around THE MOST
DESPICABLE AND LOWEST LAND.
It just so happens that these lands were near the lowest spot on earth, the dead sea
area, which is approximately 400 meters below the sea level, and which also happens
to be the land where Sodom and Gomorrah were doomed in.

The continental mainland stretches from the southern end of the Malay Peninsula to Cape

easternmost point is Cape Dezhnyov in northeastern Siberia. The continent’s greatest width from
east to west is 8,500 km (5,300 mi). The lowest and highest points on the Earth’s surface are
in Asia, namely, the SHORE of the Dead Sea (408 m/1,340 ft below sea level in 1996) and
Mount Everest (8,850 m/29,035 ft above sea level).
2- From http://www.dead-sea.net/f-cosmetics.htm:
The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on earth. It is also the richest in concentrated natural
minerals, making the area a world - renowned natural health spa. The ancient world knew
of the area's wondrous curative properties and throughout the ages people from the four
corners of the earth have enjoyed its benefits.
3- From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea#In_Islam:
In Islam
In Islamic tradition, the Dead Sea was about the land in which the Prophet Lut (Lot in the
Hebrew scriptures) lived. The people of the towns and cities were wicked for their acts of
homosexuality, raping men, robbery and murder and had therefore been given a punishment for
such deeds. The punishment arrived when angels in the form of beautiful men were sent down by
God as guests for Lut to host. When Lut's people heard of the men, they rushed to Lut's house to
misbehave and rape the men. This was their final test which they failed so the angel Gabriel
raised the land where the prophet's people lived, tipped it upside down and threw it back on
earth, causing the ground near the impact to cave in. Thus, the lowest land on Earth was
formed because of this punishment. The non-believers (in the monotheism doctrine) were
destroyed and the followers were saved. According to some interpretations, the sura of ar-Rum
of the Quran refers to the Dead Sea as the lowest place on Earth.[13][14]
Bedouin tribes have continuously lived in this area, and more recently explorers and scientists
arrived to analyze the minerals and conduct research into the unique climate. Tourism in the
region has been developed since the 1960s.
Recent History
The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves at Qumran at the Dead Sea. The world's lowest
road, Highway 90, runs along the Israeli and West Bank shores of the Dead Sea at 393 m
(1,289 ft) below sea level.
There are also health spas and hot springs along the shore, besides the unique water of the Dead
Sea itself. A golf course named for Sodom and Gomorrah was built by the British at Kalia on the
northern shore. The first major hotels were built in Israel, first at nearby Arad, and since the
1960s at the Neve Zohar resort complex. The Jordanian side has seen increasing development in
recent years. For example, three international franchises have opened seaside resort hotels near
the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center along the eastern coast of the Dead Sea. [15]
4- From http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/predictions_01.html:
INTRODUCTION
Another miraculous aspect of the Qur'an is its prediction of future events, all of which have so far been fulfilled. This is
one of the proofs that the Qur'an is the Word of Allah. In the following pages, we will dwell on some of these events.
THE VICTORY OF BYZANTIUM
An astonishing prediction is found in the first verses of Surat ar-Rum, which refers to the Byzantine Empire, the eastern
part of the later Roman Empire: The Byzantine Empire, which had met with a great defeat, would soon gain victory.
Alif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will be
victorious within three to nine years. The affair is Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the
believers will rejoice. (Qur'an, 30:1-4)
These verses were revealed around 620, almost 7 years after the idolatrous Persians had severely defeated Christian
Byzantium in 613-14. In fact, Byzantium had suffered such heavy losses that it seemed impossible for it even to
survive, let alone be victorious again. Following their defeat of the Byzantines at Antioch in 613, the Persians seized
control of Damascus, Cilicia, Tarsus, Armenia, and Jerusalem. The loss of Jerusalem in 614 was particularly traumatic
for the Byzantines, for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed and the Persians seized the "True Cross," the
symbol of Christianity.174 In addition, the Avars, Slavs, and Lombards also were posing serious threats to the
Byzantine Empire. The Avars had reached as far as the walls of Constantinople. Emperor Heraclius ordered the gold
and silver in churches to be melted and turned into money in order to meet the army's expenses. When this proved
insufficient, bronze statues were melted down in order to mint more money. Many governors had revolted against
Heraclius, and Byzantium was on the point of collapse.175 Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia,
which had earlier belonged to Byzantium, were invaded by the idolatrous Persians.176
The Dead Sea basin where Byzantium was defeated by Persians. Above is a
satellite photograph of the region. The Lake of Lut region, which is the lowest
region of the world, is 395 meter below the sea level.
In short, everyone was expecting Byzantium to be destroyed. But during this time, the first verses of Surat ar-Rum were
revealed, announcing that Byzantium would triumph in 3 to 9 years. This predicted victory seemed so impossible that
the Arab polytheists thought it would never come true.
Like all the other predictions in the Qur'an, however, this one also came true. In
622, Heraclius gained a number of victories over the Persians and conquered
Armenia.177 In December 627, the two empires fought a decisive battle at Nineveh,
some 50 kilometres east of the Tigris river, near Baghdad. This time too, the
Byzantine army defeated the Persians. A few months later, the Persians had to sue
for peace with Byzantium, which obliged them to return the territories they had
taken from it.178
The Byzantine victory was completed when Emperor Heraclius defeated the Persian
ruler Khosrow II in 630, recaptured Jerusalem, and regained the "True Cross" for
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.179 In the end, "the victory of the Romans"
proclaimed by Allah in the Qur'an miraculously came true within the verses' stated
"three to nine years" time frame.
As stated earlier, for Christian Byzantium, the loss of the True Cross was the heaviest blow in that defeat in Jerusalem,
located near the shores of the Dead Sea.
The Byzantines and the Persians actually fought at the Dead Sea basin, which is situated at the
intersection point of the lands belonging to Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. At 399 meters below sea
level, the Dead Sea is the "lowest" place on Earth's surface.181
However, as only modern measuring methods and equipment can prove this fact, it would have been impossible for
anyone living at that time to realise this truth. Yet, the Qur'an states clearly that this region was the "lowest land" on
Earth and thereby provides further evidence that it is the Word of Allah.

5- From http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/archive/article.php?lang=E&id=47513:
".....When we investigated the lowest part of the earth, we found that it was exactly the
same spot that witnessed the battle in which the Romans were defeated. When we
informed Professor Palmer about this, he contested saying that there were many other
areas, which are lower than the one referred to in the Qur'anic verse. He gave examples
and names of other areas in Europe and in the United States. We assured him that our
information was verified and correct. He had with him a topographical globe that showed
elevations and depressions.
He said that it would be easy with that globe to ascertain which was the lowest spot on
earth. He turned the globe with his hands and focused his sign on the area near Jerusalem.
To his astonishment, there was a small arrow sticking out towards that area with
words: "the lowest part on the face of the earth."
Professor Palmer was quick to concede that our information was correct. He proceeded to
speak, as you now see him with the globe, saying that this was actually the lowest part of
the earth....."

water, life and Paradise-like Scenic Views. The others are dead planets with no life like
that of earth's exists on them. See my notes about this below.

way, the distance between the earth's north and south poles is approximately only 45
miles shorter than the earth's width.
• Allah Almighty also Said that He made the earth's sky a ceiling to us.
For more proofs, please visit: The Ozone layer is a protective ceiling to earth. So
when Allah Almighty Said:
[079:030] And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
[079:031] He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
It also means that Allah Almighty Made a protective ceiling or umbrella for the
earth, which without it, NO WATER COULD POSSIBLY EXIST ON
EARTH!
2- The earth is a qurs and indahhat and is dihdaaha, which means it is a round and a spherical
object.
3- The earth has expanded, and from that expansion, all of the huge bodies of water that we
have today from oceans, seas, lakes and rivers were extracted AND/OR FORMED from the earth
with the aid of its protective atmosphere.
5- The earth is dihya, which means it is the best among its group. This is true since all of the
planets in our solar system are pretty much similar to our moon. They are lifeless and have no
life and no water in them. Earth, on the other hand, has (1) ample water, which is why it is
called the BLUE PLANET, (2) ample life, and even (3) Paradise-like views and nature in
places such as Hawaii, Alaska, the Carribeans, places in Europe, Asia, Africa etc...
6- The earth is also dahdah and dahdaah, which means it is round and compressed.
[077:025] Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together (moving fast in space and is
encompassing to all of its creatures and it has the ability to create and recreate).
[077:027] And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you
water sweet (and wholesome)?

• Allah Almighty also Said: "He causes the living to emerge from the dead, and brings

1- Is running in space.
3- Has the means to create life and/or to have life fertilized and multipled in it.
4- And it does CONTAIN its creatures and it does maintain their life and means of living for
them.
Indeed, the earth is encompassing to both the dead and the living, and it does create the living
and recreates the dead, all through Allah Almighty's Divine Will, Mercy, Design and
Wisdom.
That is why I translated kifaata in Noble Verse 77:26 to: moving fast in space and is
encompassing to all of its creatures and it has the ability to create and recreate. The word
encompasses all of these meanings, and all of them PERFECTLY FIT the description of earth!

Now it is also mentioned in Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1], Book 7, Page 456:
( اﻟﻘﻴ ﺎمal-qiyaam): means ﺎت و اﻟﻮﻗ ﻮف اﻟﺜﺒwhich means standing and remaining still.
1- Yes indeed, the planet earth is standing still according to our bodies and it is indeed
balanced! Otherwise, we would all perish!
2- But however, since it was a known fact that the celestial bodies in Heaven such as the SUN,
MOON, SHOOTING STARS and others were all moving bodies, then it is obviously safe to
also accept this meaning about the earth also moving to apply to Noble Verse 30:25, especially
when we already know that the earth was mentioned to be ROUND and WAS PUSHED and
THROWN INTO SPACE, as I already thoroughly demonstrated earlier (above) in the word
DAHAHA.
So it is safe to accept the word taqoom ﺗﻘ ﻮمin Noble Verse 30:25 to mean both FIXED IN
THEIR MOVING COURSES, and for the earth to be standing still AND BALANCED for the
creatures that live on it for the following reasons:
1- The earth and heaven were mentioned together in the same Noble Verse.
2- We know that the Heaven is full of curvy and wavy orbits as I discussed in ARJOON AND
MA'AARIJ earlier (above).
3- We know that the earth is round and is pushed and thrown in space by Allah Almighty as I
discussed in DAHAHA earlier (above).
4- As to the earth being standing still, obviously, to us, it is standing still and it is
BALANCED! Otherwise, we would all perish! More on this when we discuss the function of
the mountains in the Noble Quran and how they prevent the earth from swaying while it is
rotating around its own axle, in the Noble Quran.
(The following Noble Verse was suggested to me by brother Mahir Karaosmanovic, may Allah
Almighty always be pleased with him)

Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said:
[055:007] And the Firmament has He raised high (raised it on a moving course) , and He has set
up the Balance (in it) (of Justice),
If we examine, for instance, our beautiful Solar System's orbital system and the balance of its
planets and their moon's around our star, the sun, and around each others (the moons orbiting
around their own planets), then we'll see the beautiful and powerful BALANCE that Allah
Almighty has put to keep us SAFE! Otherwise, our moon would've probably been the first
planet to collide with us. Notice again how ﻊَﺿَ َوwada'aa here perfectly describes that balance in
our MOVING UNIVERSE! So it's the Balance in the Moving Celestial Bodies' orbits, and in

So clearly, Allah Almighty Said that He has set the Universe on a moving course, and
He has put the Balance in it.
Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said:

So why would Allah Almighty say that the mountains are moving like the
clouds?
We know that the mountains look quite fixed. Not even earth quakes can move them from their
places! So why would Allah Almighty say that they are passing like the passing of the clouds?
1- Because like in Dahaha دﺣﺎهﺎand wadaAAha وﺿ ﻌﻬﺎ, which both mean that the earth is
moving on a fixed course, tamurru marra ﻣﺮ ﺗﻤ ﺮ, further supports this by saying that even the
heavy and fixed mountains that look idol and impossible to move, and indeed moving!
2- Like in Dahaha دﺣﺎهﺎ, where it means to expand, the expansion of the earth did indeed
cause, and is still causing, for the mountains to move! Not only mountains, but ENTIRE
CONTINENTS moving or drifting away from each others as the earth started to split when it
expanded. Remember that the earth used to be one jigsaw puzzle and then started to expand.
Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said:

Abdullah Yusuf Ali have translated ﻣﻬﺎداmihaada to mean "a wide expanse". However, in the

Is the bed here a rocking bed or a fixed one? The following pictures about the cosmos will
clearly prove that the earth's axial tilt and rotation around the sun indeed resemble
a rocking bed:
Let us now look at our planet earth's "Axial Tilt" that makes it look like a cradle:
So indeed, the earth being a ( ﻣﻬﺎدmihaad) does mean that it is like a rocking cradle,
since its root, ( ﻣﻬﺪmahd), means just that.

Indeed, if there was no balance in the gravitational pulls in the Universe, the earth and the
Universe would've strayed away into complete disarray and total destruction. It is indeed due to
Allah Almighty's Mercy and Will that the earth's moving course in the Universe is under full

According to
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. [1] These roots
are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see figures 7, 8, and
9).
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. [3]
Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. [4] 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. [5]
“ Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse And the mountains As PEGS?”
[Al-Quran 78:6-7]
Pegs have deep roots under the surface of the ground like Mountains. Thus Quran gives the
accurate example of Mountains.

( ﻓ ﺮثfarth): ﺮﻗﻴﻦ ( اﻟﻜ ﺮش ﺳsirqeen al-karsh) the digested food in the gut.
( اﻟﻜ ﺮش اﻓﺮﺛ ﺖafrathat al-karsh): ﻘﻘﺘﻬﺎ اذا ( ﺷitha shaqaq-taha) when the gut is split open.
• It is said: اذا ﻓﺮﻗﻬ ﺎ, وﻳﻔﺮﺛﻬ ﺎ ﻓﺮﺛ ﺎ اذا ﺷ ﻘﻬﺎ ﺛ ﻢ ﻧ ﺜﺮ ﺟﻤﻴ ﻊ ﻣ ﺎ ﻓﻴﻬ ﺎHe yafrithuha
farthan which means when he splits the gut open and scatters everything in it out.
So when Allah Almighty Said that He Makes milk FROM BETWEEN the FARTH and the
blood, He clearly and indesputably Said that He Creates the milk from the material that comes
from the DIGESTED FOOD such as minerals, calcium, protein, etc... and blood.
(http://www.elnaggarzr.com/index.php?l=ar&id=368&p=2&cat=384)
My translation:
Second: The formation of milk from between FARTH and blood inside the cattle:
Milk is essentially formed from proteins, carbohydrates, fat, and many other elements, and
vitamins and water. And all of this is extracted from the animal's nutrition (food), drink and
blood, which this Noble Verse has described through Allah Almighty's Statement: "from
between FARTH ﻓ ﺮثand blood." And the FARTH is the substances that are eaten and are
not completely digested in the gut, and because of that it (the farth) is sometimes also called
the gut's load (food), and when it is extracted from the gut it is called ROUTH.
(End of translation)
Also, according to
Dung: روثrouth.
( روثrouth): dung, droppings, to drop dung.
"White blood cells in Milk- Milk contains varying levels of white blood cells, depending upon
the health of the source animals;....
"No study has ever conclusively demonstrated that the levels of white blood cells found in
normal milk actually pose any health risk to normal individuals. The concept of pus in one's
milk is somewhat reviling, but evidence for an impact on health is not existent....
"In addition, the cows frequently contract an udder infection known as mastitis, partly
responsible for the aforementioned prevalence of blood cells in dairy products." (Source)

Article #2:
"Milk Biosynthesis
Milk is synthesized in the mammary gland. Within the mammary gland is the milk producing
unit, the alveolus. It contains a single layer of epithelial secretory cells surrounding a central
storage area called the lumen, which is connected to a duct system. The secretory cells are, in
turn, surrounded by a layer of myoepithelial cells and blood capillaries.
The raw materials for milk production are transported via the bloodstream to the secretory cells.
It takes 400-800 L of blood to deliver components for 1 L of milk.
• Proteins: building blocks are amino acids in the blood. Casein micelles, or small
aggregates thereof, may begin aggregation in Golgi vesicles within the secretory cell.
• Lipids:
o C4-C14 fatty acids are synthesized in the cells
o C16 and greater fatty acids are preformed as a result of rumen hydrogenation and
are transported directly in the blood
• Lactose: milk is in osmotic equilibrium with the blood and is controlled by lactose, K,
Na, Cl; lactose synthesis regulates the volume of milk secreted
The milk components are synthesized within the cells, mainly by the endoplasmic reticulum
(ER) and its attached ribosomes. The energy for the ER is supplied by the mitochondria. The
components are then passed along to the Golgi apparatus, which is responsible for their
eventual movement out of the cell in the form of vesicles. Both vesicles containing aqueous non-
fat components, as well as liquid droplets (synthesized by the ER) must pass through the
cytoplasm and the apical plasma membrane to be deposited in the lumen. It is thought that the
milk fat globule membrane is comprised of the apical plasma membrane of the secretory cell.
Milking stimuli, such as a sucking calf, a warm wash cloth, the regime of parlour etc., causes the
release of a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is relased from the pituitary gland, below the
brain, to begin the process of milk let-down. As a result of this hormone stimulation, the
muscles begin to compress the alveoli, causing a pressure in the udder known as letdown reflex,
and the milk components stored in the lumen are released into the duct system. The milk is
forced down into the teat cistern from which it is milked. The let-down reflex fades as the
oxytocin is degraded, within 4-7 minutes. It is very difficult to milk after this time." (Source)

Human Embryology:

According to
( ﻧﻄﻔ ﺔnutfah) is a single entity that is part of a bigger group of its kind:
( اﻟﻨﻄ ﻒal-nutaf): ﻧﻄﻔ ﺔ ذﻟ ﻚ آ ﻞ ﻣﻦ واﻟﻮاﺣ ﺪة اﻟﻘﺮﻃ ﺔ هﻲNutaf are the karats, and a single
one is a nutfah.
• Note from me, Osama Abdallah: The Arabs 1,400 years ago were not scientific. They
didn't know that a single sperm from man's semen going into the woman's egg forms the
fetus. Yet as we see, Nutfa means exactly a single entity from among its group. This
is obvious since Allah Almighty obviously didn't refer to the sperm as a gold-karat!
• According to
6. Arabic-English dictionary the Hans Wehr dictionary [6], Pages 757, 804.
ﻴﺮاط ( اﻟﻘal-qeeraat): اﻟ ﺪﻳﻨﺎر أﺟﺰاء ﻣﻦ ﺟﺰءa part from the dinar's parts.

• ﻓ ﻪ اﻟ ﺘﻲ ﻳﻜ ﻮن ﻣﻨﻬ ﺎ اﻟﻮﻟ ﺪاﻟﻨ ﻂthe nutfah is what the fetus forms from it.
• وﻧﻄ ﻒ اﻟﻤ ﺎء ﻳﻨﻄ ﻒ اذا ﻗﻄ ﺮ ﻗﻠﻴ ﻼ ﻗﻠﻴ ﻼthe water natufa yantufu, which means
the water was leaking few drops of water.
• اﻟﻘﺮﺑ ﺔ ﺗﻨﻄ ﻒ اي ﺗﻘﻄ ﺮthe waterskin was tantufu, which means leaking drops
of water.
• ًو ﺟﺎء ﺳﻴﻔﻪ ﻳﻨﻄِﻒ دﻣﺎhis sword was yantifu blood, meaning drops of blood were
falling from it.
( اﻣﺸ ﺎجamshaaj) means to mingle and it refers to mingling the man's and woman's nutfahs.
( اﻣﺸ ﺎجamshaaj): دﻣﻬﺎ و اﻟﻤ ﺮأة ﺑﻤ ﺎء ﻣﺨﺘﻠﻄ ﺔmingled with the woman's semen and blood.
Again, the Arabs had no knowledge about science. But however, as we've seen above,
NUTFAH ﻧﻄﻔ ﺔmeans one from among a group, like a single karat from among a group of
karats, and a single drop of water from a small amount of water. This is indisputable, and
therefore, it is safe to say that when Allah Almighty said that He Created man from Nutfah,
He meant a single sperm from the flowing semen.
[023:012] Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay) a flowing liquid that is originally
created from clay;
[023:013] Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed (that's the
woman's egg);
[023:014] Then We made Created the sperm into a clot of congealed blood (that is a leech-like
substance); then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and
clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God,
the best to create!

Allah Almighty Had Spoken a Divine Statement that is today in perfect agreement with Science!
Indeed, the male's NUTFAH (sperm) strikes the female's egg with penetration. The NUTFAH is
indeed a penetrating one that "strikes" and "cuts" through the egg to make fertilization. That is
why Allah Allah Almighty in both Noble Verses, 53:45, 75:39, talked about the formation of
both sexes: the male and the female, and said that it is the "penetrating," "striking," "cutting,"
( )ﻳﻤ ﻨﻰNUTFAH (ﻧﻄﻔ ﺔ, sperm) that determines them.

Figure 12: Functional regions of the left hemisphere of the cerebral
cortex. The prefrontal area is located at the front of the cerebral
cortex. (Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, Seeley and others, p. 210.)
Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn’t the
Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the
head and lying and sinfulness?
If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the
cerebrum (see figure 12). What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book
entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology says about this area, “The motivation and the
foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the
prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex...” [1] Also the book says, “In relation to
its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center
for aggression....” [2]
So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and
sinful behavior and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. Thus, it is
proper to describe the front of the head as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin,
as the Quran has said, “...A lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)!”
Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years,
according to Professor Keith L. Moore. [3]

How could you possibly have convinced them of something like this? It's impossible! Heck,
even until Christopher Columbus discovered the United States of America, only few centuries
ago, the vast majority of the world still believed that the earth was flat. I personally strongly
believe that even Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, didn't fully understand what was
really revealed to him from Science and Divine Miracles. Again, the choice of these Words is
Miraculous indeed. Allah Almighty could've used more straight forward words with limited
meanings. The sample Holy Verses above were simply Revealed for us today, to discover, and
to ponder upon with amazement. As Allah Almighty clearly Said in the Holy Quran:
"We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will
become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a
witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
