Does the Holy Qurʾān contain any scientific miracles?
Seven centuries ago, Imām Ibn Ḥajar said: “With each era, new evidence will emerge from the Qurʾān, demonstrating the authenticity of its message and call.”1 The unfolding of such Qurʾānic evidences will never cease, to the extent that even shortly before the Day of Resurrection, there will arise a person who will unveil a new and unprecedented proof of the truth of this religion. In other words, the proofs of Islam’s truth are neither confined to a particular nation nor restricted to a specific epoch, nor are they limited to a single field of knowledge. Rather, the miraculous nature of the Qurʾān is universal in scope, timeless in relevance, and comprehensive across all fields of knowledge. Thus, without doubt, there exist genuine and well-established scientific miracles in the Qurʾān and the Sunnah.
