Professor Armstrong was asked various questions about the verses of Quran related to his field of work and specialization. He was asked: “ You discovered and saw the true nature of the astronomy and by the use of equipments like satellites and rockets that are developed by man. You have also seen the facts that are mentioned by the Holy Quran various centuries ago. So what is your opinion about the relation of the findings of science related with Holy Quran?

Professor Armstrong was quite astonished to see the findings and he said that I am very much impressed with the findings of Holy Quran and how they correlate with the modern science, he also admitted that “ I am not sufficient enough scholar of the human history to project myself some 1400 years ago and predict all the truth.  If you Learn Quran, you will find about some of the greatest truths about astronomy that scientists have explained today.

He explained that there are some findings beyond his understandings and an ordinary human being will not be able to account for the writings that have been seen. Upon asking about the facts of Quran, Armstrong said:

” I am quite impressed by finding the true facts of astronomy in the Holy Quran, and for all the modern astronomers who are studying a small piece of universe. As with the help of telescopes, we are only able to see the whole universe. So by reading Holy Quran, we think that we can find more ways for the future investigations.”

Al-Araf [7:2] A book revealed unto thee― so let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account that with it thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the Believers.

This verse intimates us that Allah Almighty has blessed us with a book that helps humans get away from any kind of difficulty and strengthens our hearts against any kind of difficulty. This book, of course, is no other than Holy Quran, a document containing the final message from Allah Almighty to guide humanity on the right path till The Day of Judgment.

This also indicates that if we want any kind of help and strength, we should resort to the that book, and what else could serve us better in this regard, other than Quran recitation. Recitation of Quran is such a honored act that it connects human beings directly with Allah Almighty, helping them seek guidance and mercy from The Mightiest.

“Be sure we will test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives, but give glad tidings to those who are steadfast, who say when afflicted with calamity: To Allah we belong and to him is our return. They are those on who (DESCEND) blessings from Allah and mercy and they are the ones that receive guidance.”

Surah Al-Baqarah [2:155]

The verse quoted above tells us that to segregate true believers from non-believers, Allah Almighty has chosen to test humans with different types of harsh situations, but He has also descended upon them His mercy and guidance, and the ones seeking those blessings will get true guidance.

Therefore, the honored act of quran recitation should be a part of our daily lives, so that we might be able to seek accord of The Mightiest and get strength against any hardships and difficulties.

Kaaba is the house of Allah or the holiest place of worship and it is the Qibla or the direction that Muslims face during their prayers. There is the need of intellectual abilities to think that Muslims just face the Kaaba to offer their prayers but not bow to it. The purpose to face the Kaaba is the proof of the unity of all Muslims on one point that Allah is one and there is no one whom we worship except Allah. Quran Reading is the best habit if we try to develop it on our daily basis so surly we will come to know the realities of Islam and its rules.

“We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall we turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the holy Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction.”(2:144). you will be surprised to know that the Kaaba is in the center of the world and the credit goes to the Muslims who first draw the map of the world. As Muslims we need to clarify all the concepts that other religions have some doubts about. The purpose of performing Tawaaf round the Kaaba is to show the belief that there is only one GOD whom we worship at one platform.

The concept of kissing the black stone of Kaaba is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that all Muslims follow during Tawaaf. Hazrat Umer (R.A) said that “I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet (pbuh) touching (and kissing) you, I would never have touched (and kissed) you”. In the prophet’s time people use to stand on the Kaaba to say Adaan, now there is a valid question that is at the same time is the best answer of their question is that which idol worshipper stand on the idol he worships. Focus on Quran Reading to avoid such ambiguous questions. Jazak Allah Khair

A lot of people learn Quran daily. However, in the today’s world there are a lot of misconceptions about the Holy Quran and the Islamic way of living among the non-Muslims and among the Muslims too. The Muslim community overall and the Muslims scholars in particular are responsible for this trend.

Of course there is not anything ambiguous in Islam, the people who learn Quran confirm. Due to wrong practices and wrong explanations, some scholars have made the Islamic School of thought nearly inacceptable to the civilized world. This is an alarming situation. For example the teenage Muslims of today are very frustrated. They say they are always told about the rights of parents in Islam and are never told about the Rights of Children in Islam.

The modesty in Islam is also a rarely touched topic by the scholars who claim that they learn Quran better than the ordinary Muslims. Of course there are a lot of discussions on the women’s Hijab, but not about the purification of the heart from the evil thoughts. The Holy Quran also demands modesty from men. They are ordered to dress modestly and to lower their gaze.

If we learn Quran, we would find that the religion if Islam puts a lot of stress on the society to be healthy. It is only possible through the modest hearts that a healthy society can form.

When there are questions raised to make the real difference in one’s belief and attaining the appropriate understanding and guidance for the right of forgiveness and mercy, you are advised to make the best out of the given options and this is where you are advised to refer Bible with our Holy Book Quran.

Before we go any further you should know that Quran is the pure form of ALLAH (SWT) and this is where you are told by The Lord Himself that Quran is secured by Him and He would watch over for its maintenance as there we are assured that no changes are made and thus when it comes to Bile its content has been changes accordingly as the will of believers which does not remain to be an authenticated source.

For our understanding we are told that ALLAH (SWT) will break the pride and this is where in the Bible, the Lord God says:

“I will break the pride of your power”

“I will make your heaven as iron; the sky over your head will be copper”

“I will make your earth as copper, and the earth that is under you shall be iron”

In addition, the Bible suggests a noble method to treat a snake bite: Looking at a copper serpent will save the life of the one who has been bitten b a snake.  The Bible says that Moses made a copper serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

Whereas in the context, Effect of Quran in Human Personality and its verses tell us the following:

The Copper in the Quran Says: “O assembly of jinn and men, if you have power) if you are able to penetrate all the extremities of the heavens and the earth, if you are able to break free from regions  of the heavens and the earth; then penetrate them, then break free and flee!

You will never penetrate them; you will not be able to break free except with power. Verses 55: 33-35 says.
