"TRAVEL IN SPACE - QURAN MIRACLES"
"How many signs in the heavens and earth they pass by, yet they
turn (their faces) away from them." (The Quran 12:105)
"By the sky full of path." (The Quran, 51:7)
The language of the Holy Quran is a miracle by itself. The Holy
Quran describes various natural phenomenon in a language that
covers a wide range of meaning and message. The earlier
generations of the Muslims did not have the level of knowledge
to appreciate these verses. We can now appreciate such Quran
phrases as: the sky full of path, and the signs in the heavens as
the facts of space which mankind has recently discovered.
Furthermore, the Quran phrases: How many signs in the heaven
they pass by can best be explained in terms of the recent travels
of men into space.
The earlier generations of Muslims took these verses as the
mysteries of the Holy Quran. Since they did not possess the level
of knowledge needed to decipher these mysteries, they did not
try to explain them. However, they did accept them as the words
of Allah the Almighty. As the level of human knowledge
advanced to new frontiers, later generations of Muslims
explained these phenomena, and thus changed these mysteries to
the facts of science and history. This is what makes the Holy
Quran a living miracle for all generations of mankind. The Holy
Quran has always excelled, and shall always excel the level of
human knowledge. Every generation of mankind has discovered
and shall keep on discovering new miracles in the Holy Quran.
