@Ethereal - heres some verses that show facts and the modern science just discovered it recently :
"No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock" &
"A lying, sinning forelock" . (96:15-16)
Scientists have recently discovered that a significant activity occurs in the upper front part of the brain (forelock) when the man lies or make specific errors. Therefore scientists have decided that the center of lying and error in humans is in the upper front part of the brain which is called the frontal lobe.
The Quran described the upper front part of the humans' brain (forelock) with two properties lying and error. It was proved for doctors recently the relation between this region and lying and error in humans, they had no knowledge of that at the time of the descent of this verse. Therefore this verse is considered to be one of the signs of the miraculous nature of the holy Quran and that it is a book that doesn't contradict with the definite science.
"We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might." (57:25)
The word "anzalna," translated as "sent down" and used for iron in the verse, could be thought of having a metaphorical meaning to explain that iron has been given to benefit people. But, when we take into consideration the literal meaning of the word, which is, "being physically sent down from the sky," as in the case of rain and Sun rays, we realize that this verse implies a very significant scientific miracle. Because, modern astronomical findings have disclosed that the iron found in our world has come from giant stars in outer space.
"Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not." (27:18)
-First, Quran discovered that ants does really talk 1400 years ago .
The word "Yahtemannakom" in Arabic means crush, And this words are used when you smash a material like glass or similar to glass... I know that maybe an Australian scientist found at the 90s or 80s that Ants are made from a layer of glass, and there you go.
*and Trust me there are many others, if your not convinced i will be posting others, being a Muslim doesn't mean your a terrorist.*
