How the Qur'an is confirming modern scientific discoveries

The Qur'an's descriptions of the natural world, particularly the universe and human development, are seen by some as aligning with modern scientific discoveries. These include the idea of an expanding universe, the origins of iron, and detailed descriptions of embryonic development. 

These perceived similarities are often cited as evidence of the Qur'an's divine origin. 

Here's a more detailed look:

• Expanding Universe:

  The Qur'an describes the universe as expanding, a concept later confirmed by Hubble's discovery in the 20th century. 
• Iron and its Origin:
• The Qur'an mentions iron being "sent down" from the sky, which aligns with modern astronomy's understanding that heavy elements like iron are formed in giant stars and then dispersed throughout the universe. 
• Embryonic Development:
• The Qur'an provides detailed descriptions of human development within the womb, which are also supported by modern embryology. 
• Internal Waves:
• The Qur'an mentions the separation of water in estuaries, which aligns with the existence of internal waves, a phenomenon discovered in the 20th century. 
• Iron and its origin:
• The Qur'an states that iron is "sent down to earth" and not produced on Earth, which aligns with the discovery that heavy metals like iron are produced in the nuclei of giant stars and dispersed throughout the universe, rather than being produced on Earth.

• These points are often used to suggest that the Qur'an contains scientific information that could not have been known at the time of its revelation, thus indicating a divine source.
