Historic Role of the Glorious Qur’an
(33:41-43) O ye who believe! Celebrate the praises of Allah, and do this often; and glorify Him morning and evening. He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: And He is Full of Mercy to the believers.
Historic Role of the Glorious Qur’an
It is a fact that it is the Glorious Qur’an alone that inspired the Muslims to take up the scientific study of the universe. For fulfilling their obligations of the religion and Shariah, it urged the Muslims, in varied styles, to reflect upon the natural phenomena, fathom deep into the systems that are upholding the whole administration of this universe and evolve means and methods of seeking benefits from them. Some of such verses are as follows:
Say: ‘Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth.’
(Qur’an, 10:10)
Say: ‘Travel through the earth and see how God did originate creation; so will God produce a later creation.’
(Qur’an, 29:20)
Do they not look at the Camels; how they are made? - And at the Sky, how it is raised high? - And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? - And at the Earth, how it is spread?
(Qur’an, 88:17-20)
Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it, and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
(Qur’an, 50:6)
It is We Who have set out constellations in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders.
(Qur’an, 15:16)
....When they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof.
(Qur’an, 6:99)
Then let man look at his Food, (And how We provide it.)
(Qur’an, 80:24)
Now let man but think from what he is created! He is created from a drop emitted....
(Qur’an, 86:5-6)
