Several Scientific Facts as Stated in Verses of the Qur’an

The first verses revealed to prophet Muhammad SAW is begun with the word to read. This word is an instruction to all Moslem to read in the sense of to think of the creation of the creator. Someone still has the opinion that Islam discourages the development of science. This accusation is absolutely not true. The process of conclusion making in the science and the religion is something different. Religion is based on faith and science is based on human investigation or rational and logical facts. Quranic verses contain hints and a lot of scientific facts, but they are not scientific theories. Reading in the meaning of studying the nature is the first order from the Almighty God to prophet Muhammad. Nature and all creatures are created in balance. Creatures are all in pairs. Nature is prepared and maintained in systematic mechanism. Photosynthesis is considered to be the first chain of living mechanism of creatures which depend on food and on the supply of fire (energy) as stated in verse 80 chapter Ya Sin. The photosynthesis proses is the process of synthesis of carbon dioxide and the water. Water has unique physical and chemical properties. We can heat it, evaporate it, freeze it and use it for solving or combining other things. All living creatures require water, and almost the processing happening need water. Through the scientific observations and the natural evidences revealed, now we believe in the Qur’an that it is true all the times. Man is ordered to utilize their all capacities of mind and intellect lo reveal the secret of the nature and the whole universe. In this way people may come to conclusion to have firmer belief in God, the Creator.
