1) Dr. T. V. N. Persaud is Professor of Anatomy, Professor of
Pediatrics and Child Health, and Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology,
and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada. There, he was the Chairman of the Department of
Anatomy for 16 years. He is well-known in his field. He is the author
or editor of 22 textbooks and has published over 181 scientific
papers. In 1991, 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. When he was asked about the
scientific miracles in the Quran which he has researched, he stated
the following:
"The way it was explained to me is that Muhammad was a very ordinary
man. He could not read, didn't know [how] to write. In fact, he was
an illiterate. And we're talking about twelve [actually about
fourteen] hundred years ago. You have someone illiterate making
profound pronouncements and statements and that are amazingly
accurate about scientific nature. And I personally can't see how
this could be a mere chance. There are too many accuracies and, like
Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind that this is a divine
inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements." (View

Professor Persaud has included some Quranic verses and sayings of the
Prophet Muhammad in some of his books. He has also presented these
verses and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad at several conferences.

2) Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology,
and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College
of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Formerly, he was Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the
Department of Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis,
Tennessee, USA. He was also the President of the American Fertility
Society. He has received many awards, including the Association of
Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award in
1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings
of the Prophet Muhammad :
{In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected
together in your mother's womb by forty days...}[2]
{If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel
to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh,
and bones....}[3]
He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad extensively,
noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable
stage of embryo-genesis. He was particularly impressed by the
absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad . Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion:
"So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that
have been noted provide us with a specific time table for the main
embryological development before forty days. Again, the point has
been made, I think, repeatedly by other speakers this morning: these
hadeeths could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific
knowledge that was available [at] the time of their writing.... It
follows, I think, that not only there is no conflict between genetics
and religion but, in fact, religion can guide science by adding
revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches, that
there exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be
valid, which support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from
God." (View the RealPlayer video of this comment )

3) Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and
Developmental Biology at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, USA. There, for 22 years he was Professor of Anatomy,
the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, and the Director of the
Daniel Baugh Institute. He was also the President of the Teratology
Society. He has authored more than 200 publications. In 1981, during
the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor
Johnson said in the presentation of his research paper:
"Summary: The Quran describes not only the development of external
form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the
embryo, of its creation and development, emphasizing major events
recognized by contemporary science." (View the RealPlayer video of
this comment )
Also he said: "As a scientist, I can only deal with things which I can
specifically see. I can understand embryology and developmental
biology. I can understand the words that are translated to me from
the Quran. As I gave the example before, if I were to transpose
myself into that era, knowing what I knew today and describing
things, I could not describe the things which were described. I see
no evidence for the fact to refute the concept that this individual,
Muhammad, had to be developing this information from some place. So
I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine
intervention was involved in what he was able to write."[4] (View the

4) Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is
Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, Colorado, USA. He was formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel
School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami,
Miami, Florida, USA. After a discussion with Professor Hay about the
Quran's mention of recently discovered facts on seas, he said:
"I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the
ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing
where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting
that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it,
the meaning of some of the passages." And when he was asked about the
source of the Quran, he replied: "Well, I would think it
must be the divine being." (View the RealPlayer video of this comment)

5) Dr. Gerald C. Goeringer is Course Director and Associate Professor
of Medical Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of
Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. During the
Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor
Goeringer stated the following in the presentation of his research
paper:
"In a relatively few aayahs (Quranic verses) is contained a rather
comprehensive description of human development from the time of
commingling of the gametes through organogenesis. No such distinct
and complete record of human development, such as classification,
terminology, and description, existed previously. In most, if not
all, instances, this description antedates by many centuries the
recording of the various stages of human embryonic and fetal
development recorded in the traditional scientific literature." (View

6) Dr. Yoshihide Kozai is Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University,
Hongo, Tokyo, Japan, and was the Director of the National
Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. He said:
"I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in [the]
Quran, and for us the modern astronomers have been studying very
small pieces of the universe. We've concentrated our efforts for
understanding of [a] very small part. Because by using telescopes, we
can see only very few parts [of] the sky without thinking [about the]
whole universe. So, by reading [the] Quran and by answering to the
questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation
of the universe." (View the RealPlayer video of this comment )

7) Professor Tejatat Tejasen is the Chairman of the Department of
Anatomy at Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Previously,
he was the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the same university.
During the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
Professor Tejasen stood up and said:
"During the last three years, I became interested in the
Quran . . . . From my study and what I have learned from this
conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the
Quran fourteen hundred years ago must be the truth, that can be
proved by the scientific means. Since the Prophet Muhammad
could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who
relayed this truth, which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by
the one who is eligible [as the] creator. This creator must be God.
Therefore, I think this is the time to say La ilaha illa Allah, there
is no god to worship except Allah (God), Muhammadur rasoolu Allah,
Muhammad is Messenger (Prophet) of Allah (God).
Lastly, I must congratulate for the excellent and highly successful
arrangement for this conference . . . . I have gained not only from
the scientific point of view and religious point of view but also the
great chance of meeting many well-known scientists and making many
new friends among the participants. The most precious thing of all
that I have gained by coming to this place is La ilaha illa Allah,
Muhammadur rasoolu Allah, and to have become a Muslim." (View the

After all these examples we have seen about the scientific miracles
in the Holy Quran and all these scientists' comments on this, let us
ask ourselves these questions:

and Could it be a coincidence that all this recently discovered
scientific information from different fields was mentioned in the
Quran, which was revealed fourteen centuries ago?
n Could this Quran have been authored by Muhammad or by any other
human being?
The only possible answer is that this Quran must be the literal word
of God, revealed by Him.

8) Prof Jackues Yves Costeau seorang oceanographer, yang sering
muncul di televisi pada acara Discovery terpesonanya kepada Al-Quran
yang telah memberikan jawaban dari pencariannya selama ini.
Ketika sedang menyelam, Prof Jackues Yves Costeaumenemukan beberapa
mata air tawar di tengah kedalaman lautan. Mata air tersebut berbeda
kadar kimia, warna dan rasanya serta tidak bercampur dengan air laut
yang lainnya. Bertahun tahun ia berusaha mengadakan penelitian dan
mencari jawaban misteri tersebut.
Sampai suatu hari bertemu dengan professor muslim dan mendiskusikan
penemuan tersebut, sang profesor muslim menjelaskan tentang ayat Al
Quran surat Al Furqon ayat 53. Kutipan ayat tersebut antara lain
sebagai berikut: Dan dialah yang membiarkan dua laut mengalir
(berdampingan) yang ini tawar lagi segar dan yang lain asin lagi
pahit; dan Dia jadikan antar keduanya dinding dan batas yang
menghalang (QS al furqon:53)

9) Dr. Keith L. Moore Professor Emeritus, Department of Anatomy and
Cell Biology, University of Toronto. Distinguished embryologist and
the author of several medical textbooks, including Clinically
Oriented Anatomy (3rd Edition) and The Developing Human (5th Edition,
with T.V.N. Persaud).
Dr. Moore was a former President of the Canadian Association of
Anatomists, and of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists.
He was honoured by the Canadian Association of Anatomists with the
prestigious J.C.B. Grant Award and in 1994 he received the Honoured
Member Award of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists "for
outstanding contributions to the field of clinical anatomy."

For the past three years, I have worked with the Embryology
Committee of King cAbdulazîz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,
helping them to interpret the many statements in the Qur'ân and
Sunnah referring to human reproduction and prenatal development. At
first I was astonished by the accuracy of the statements that were
recorded in the 7 th century AD, before the science of embryology was
established. Although I was aware of the glorious history of Muslim
scientists in the 10th century AD, and some of their contributions to
Medicine, I knew nothing about the religious facts and beliefs
contained in the Qur'ân and Sunnah."[2]
at conference in Cairo he presented a research paper and stated:

"It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in
the Qur'ân about human development. It is clear to me that these
statements must have come to Mu hammad from God, or Allah, because
most of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later.
This proves to me that Mu hammad must have been a messenger of God,
or Allah." [1]

Professor Moore also stated that:

"...Because the staging of human embryos is complex, owing to the
continuous process of change during development, it is proposed that
a new system of classification could be developed using the terms
mentioned in the Qur'ân and Sunnah. The proposed system is simple,
comprehensive, and conforms with present embryological knowledge.

"The intensive studies of the Qur'ân and Hadîth in the last four
years have revealed a system of classifying human embryos that is
amazing since it was recorded in the seventh century A.D... the
descriptions in the Qur'ân cannot be based on scientific knowledge in
the seventh century..." [1]

10) Dr. Alfred Kroner
Professor of the Department of Geosciences, University of Mainz,
Germany.
Professor Kroner is one of the world's most famous geologists,
becoming well known among his colleague scientists for his criticisms
against the theories of some of the major scientists in his field.
Sheikh cAbdul-Majeed A. Zindanî met with him and presented several
Qur'ânic verses and Hadîth which he studied and commented upon.
"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."

"Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics 1400 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,
or many others of the questions that we have discussed here...

If you combine all these and you combine all these statements that
are being made in the Qur'ân in terms that relate to the earth and
the formation of the earth and science in general, you can basically
say that statements made there in many ways are true, they can now be
confirmed by scientific methods, and in a way, you can say that the
Qur'ân is a simple science text book for the simple man. And that
many of the statements made in there at that time could not be
proven, but that modern scientific methods are now in a position to
prove what Mu hammad said 1400 years ago." [1]

11) Prof. Armstrong
Professor Armstrong works for NASA and is also Professor of
Astronomy, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA .
Prof. Armstrong was asked a number of questions about Qur'ânic verses
dealing with his field of specialisation. He was eventually
asked, "You have seen and discovered for yourself the true nature of
modern Astronomy by means of modern equipment, rockets, and
satellites developed by man. You have also seen how the same facts
were mentioned by the Qur'an fourteen centuries ago. So what is your
opinion?" "That is a difficult question which I have been
thinking about since our discussion here. I am impressed at how
remarkably some of the ancient writings seem to correspond to modern
and recent Astronomy. I am not a sufficient scholar of human history
to project myself completely and reliably into the circumstances that
1400 years ago would have prevailed.
Certainly, I would like to leave it at that, that what we
have seen is remarkable, it may or may not admit of scientific
explanation, there may well have to be something beyond what we
understand as ordinary human experience to account for the writings
that we have seen." [1]

12) Prof. Siaveda
Professor of Marine Geology, Japan.
Sheikh Zindanî asked him a number of questions in his area of
specialisation, and then informed him of the Qur'ânic verses and
Hadîth which mention the same phenomena he spoke of. One of the
questions was concerning mountains. Sheikh Zindanî asked him about
the shape of mountains; and whether they were firmly rooted in the
earth. "What is your opinion of what you have seen in the Qur'ân and
the Sunnah with regard to the secrets of the Universe, which
scientists only discovered now?"
"I think it seems to me very, very mysterious, almost
unbelievable. I really think if what you have said is true, the book
is really a very remarkable book, I agree." [1]

13) Dr. Maurice Bucaille
Born in 1920, former chief of the Surgical Clinic, University of
Paris, has for a long time deeply interested in the correspondences
between the teachings of the Holy Scriptures and modern secular
knowledge.
He is the author of a best-seller, "The Bible, The Qur'ân and
Science" (1976). His classical studies of the scriptural languages,
including Arabic, in association with his knowledge of hieroglyphics,
have allowed him to hold a multidisciplinary inquiry, in which his
personal contribution as a medical doctor has produced conclusive
arguments. His work, "Mummies of the Pharaohs - Modern Medical
Investigations" (St. Martins Press, 1990), won a History Prize from
the Académie Française and another prize from the French National
Academy of Medicine.

His other works include: "What is the Origin of Man" (Seghers,
1988), "Moses and Pharaoh, the Hebrews in Egypt", (NTT Mediascope
Inc, 1994); and "Réflexions sur le Coran" (Mohamed Talbi & Maurice
Bucaille, Seghers, 1989)

After a study which lasted ten years, Dr. Maurice Bucaille
addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 concerning the
existence in the Qur'ân of certain statements concerning physiology
and reproduction. His reason for doing that was that :

"...our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible
to explain how a text produced at the time of the Qur'ân could have
contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times."
