"The total number of the Muslims around the word is 1.75 milliard, that is, among each four person there is one Muslim" Says a report made by Bio forum, one of the American scientific agencies specialized in religion and life in general, the final statistics in this report took three years to be reached, it says the number of the Muslims in Germany outnumbers the number of the Muslims in Lebanon; the number of the Muslims in China is more than the number of the Muslims in Syria; the number of the Muslims in Russia is more than the number of the

Muslims in Jordan and Libya and the number of the Muslims in Ethiopia is the same in Afghanistan.

"This report refutes the claims that the Muslims are the Arabs and the Arabs are the Muslims." Says Amany Gamal, ,a professor in the Priceton university in Us, politics department.

"It is more holistic report for the number of the Muslims and their demographic distribution if compared to the number of the Christians which ranges between 2.1-2.2 milliards." Says the officials of the forum.

The report says while the number of the Muslims centered in the Middle East, the largest number of Muslims (60% of the total number of the Muslims) lives in Asia, (20%) of the total number lives in the middle East and (15%) of the total number lives in the countries that lie under the African desert, (2.4%) live in Europe and (0.3%) in the two American continents.

The report also says that 317 millions (one fifth of the total number of the Muslims around the world) live in non-Muslim countries.

The report also says that three fourths live as minorities in countries, says the report, such as India (661million Muslims), Ethiopia (28 million Muslims), China (22 million Muslims) Russia (16 million Muslim) and Tanzania (13 million Muslims).

Two thirds of the total number of the Muslims live in ten countries, six countries out of them are in Asia ( Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran and turkey), three out of them in the north of Africa ( Egypt, Algeria and Morocco) and one country in the south of the African desert, this is Nigeria.

Indonesia has the highest number on Muslims (203 million and this is 13% of the total number of the Muslims around the world). 38 million Muslims live in Europe; 4 million Muslims out of them live in Germany

In the United States, more than (2.3 millions) live in US and about (700.000) Muslims lives in Canada.

The Rock from which the camel came out from

Thamud, one of the perished nation, lived in a valley which is about two hundred meters above sea level, it is also surrounded by tall mountains with 1200 meters average height.

The account of the Holy Quran about these nations shows that they were skilled in stone sculpture, Allah gifted them with many bounties and that they led luxurious life.

When God sent them a prophet from among themselves, they belied him and hold his name to obloquy and ridicule; they attacked him with abusive words. When their great prophet persisted in teaching them God's word, they set as a condition to believe that he should bring them a she-camel out of a huge rock.

The holy Quran explanation books say that the she-camel that God sent to the tribe of Prophet Saleh came out a huge rock, this rock lies isolated in the area where they lived.

The expounders of the Holy Quran say that Prophet Saleh came to his tribe to admonish them to believe and warn them of the consequences of unbelief, they asked for a sign to believe; they pointed to a large rock and said:

"Can you see this large rock? We want you to get out of this rock a she-camel with a baby in its belly; they started to set many conditions in these she-camels, they even were particulars and choosy. The prophet said' So what will you do if God gives you His sign? Will you believe?'" "Yes, we will." They said. So the prophet prayed to God and God answered his prayer and a huge camel went out from the rock, it was exactly as they asked. When the say this miracle, some believed and some didn't.

Some readers might ask how the expounders got the information they wrote down in their books from, they have recorded in their books information about the camel, description about the rock and even the names of the people who conspired to kill it.

It is narrated that the prophet gave his companions a lot of information about this tribe and how they were perished. The prophet and his companions passed by " Alhager", the place in which the prophet Saleh and his tribe lived in" on his way back from Tabouk invasion.

Gabr narrated that when the prophet passed by "Al-Hajer" (the habitations of Thamud), he said: " O' people don't ask for signs the same way Thamud did." Those were the people to whom Prophet Saleh was sent, and they asked him for a sign sent by God to them, so God created out for them a she-camel out of a rock they determined.

Narrated Al-Boukhary, narrated the son of Umar that the prophet passed by the place where the habitations of Thmud were, he ordered them not to drink from its well … so the people said :" we have already kneed our flour, so the prophet ordered them to spill the water they got and to drink from the water the she-camel used to drink from, and as to the flour they kneed, he ordered them to feed their animals on.

We can conclude that the prophet must have determined the rock which the she-camel went out from, since he determined the cave that the she-camel used to shelter herself in and the fountain which she drank from; also the prophet must have given all the information that the expounders of the Holy Quran wrote down in their books without being attributed to the prophet.

As to the features of the rock concerned, we can compare its features as mentioned in the books of expounding the Holy Quran and these of the rocks that are existent in the valley, we shall depend on Google earth programme.

The prophet and his companions passed by the valley in which there used to be the habitations of Thamud. Those people, in order to believe, asked their prophet' Saleh' to show a sign or a miracle to prove his prophethood , and they determined the rock from which this she-camel should come from, this rock had to be massive and the she-camel must be pregnant and also parturient, they also determined the rock by a certain name which is " Al-kataba'.

Their Prophet agreed and put them under the commitment that they should believe if God showed this sign to them and they agreed. He started to pray to his Lord to answer his prayer and bring them a she-camel from the rock so that they believed. God answered his prayer and the rock cleft asunder and the she-camel went out from it exactly as they wanted; on seeing it some believed and some did not.

If we look at the picture keenly, we will see a huge rock covered with blackness, and this rock is located in isolated place in the upper part of the valley to the right. This rock is so huge and this makes it looks much like a mountain; it has odd appearance and this lays credence to the claim that those people used to worship their idols around it, its longest part amounts to(1500 M), and its widest part is about(700m), the highest hill on it reaches (100m) above the surrounding area. We will give a plethora of evidences that this rock was the one from which the she-camel went out from.

The name of the rock is" Al-Kataba" which can be translated" the writing" , the word is a present participle in Arabic, if you look closely at the picture you will find it taking the shape of "the palm of hand", and what look like fingers come out from the rock.

Nowadays people call this rock" Al-Hwar mount", the word Hwar means" the baby of the she-camel", the significance of this name lies in the fact that the baby of the she-camel came back to his mother and went into it after it foamed three times, these were reference to the fact that the calamity would befall them after three days.

We can deduce the second proof from the narration that says" the stone has moved then cleft asunder to let a she-camel go out", a close look at the rock supports this narration; there is a subside in the ends of the rock, one of these subsides reaches(80) meters. Surely the going out of the she-camel must have caused such a malformation in the rock and that is why the corners of the rock subsided to be evidence to the emergence of the she-camel from the rock.

It is amazing that there are only two rocks which carry the sign of subsiding, they are near each other, and this is a proof that the she-camel went out from it.

The third evidence is that there is a black volcanic crater which takes the form of a she-camel in the sitting position, the length of the crater is fifty meter and the width is about twenty meters. The existence of this crater poses many questions that geologists can give answers too. Though the rock is big, it can't bear the signs of the explosion of a volcano because, if ever a volcano happened in it, it could have changed into pieces. One more question; the crater outline is clear and it has a geometrical shape which is different from the usual shapes of the volcanoes.

One more significant point; there is no traces of lava, this means that the volcano had erupted for a short time and the power of the explosion was so great that the lava gushed out were thrown away in the surrounding area.

I will explain how this punishment was inflicted on the tribe of Saleh after they killed the she-camel, this can give answers to these questions, in the following holy verses God says what means:

"And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a symbol to you: leave her to feed on Allah's (free) earth, and inflict no harm on her, or a swift penalty will seize you!" (64) But they did ham-string her. So he said: "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days: (Then will be your ruin): (Behold) there a promise not to be belied!" (65) When Our Decree issued, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves - and from the Ignominy of that day. For thy Lord - He is the Strong One, and able to enforce His Will. (66) The (mighty) Blast overtook the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning,- (67) As if they had never dwelt and flourished there. Ah! Behold! for the Thamud rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were the Thamud!(11:64-68)

Also God say what means in Sura(7)

Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!" (77) So the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes in the morning! (78) So Salih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counsellors!" (7:77-79)

Ibn-Katheer, a well-known Quran expounder comments on this event saying:" When it was Thursday, the first day of awaiting the punishment of God, their faces turned yellow-exactly as their prophet Saleh told them, when it was Friday their faces turned red and when it was Saturday their faces turned black, when it was Sunday they wore their coffins (after the punishment had been ascertained) and sat awaiting for the wrath of God; they didn't know what would befall them nor did they know where the punishment would come from.

So when it was Sunday, a blast from heaven overtook them and they were seized by an earthquake and all died at the same time.

It is known that eruptions of volcanoes are always preceded by earthquakes and this what happened in this area; the earth began to shake violently under them and then the volcanoes began to erupt from three locations; these are the hills of the two mountains to the west of the city and the rock from which the she-camel went out from as it is clear in the Google earth picture.

As we have already mentioned, the absence of the volcanic lava emphasized the fact that it abruptly, swiftly and violently erupted and the sound of the volcano explosion caused all the people to die at once. This kind of volcanoes is termed" Spatter volcano', in this kind of volcanoes the stuff emitted is always composed of water vapor and carbon dioxide, and protruding edges are formed around the volcano as shown in this picture.

The last picture shows that the volcanic crater on the mountain which is 1500 m ( to the west from the rock) has the same features of the volcanic crater, this proves that both happened simultaneously, it also proves that the gas pressure trapped was so high to the extent that they all happened in three close areas, they all lie within an area of a few kilometers.

The existence of the volcano on this mountain from which the she-camel went out is really amazing because the big volcano on the other mountain could have prevented the emergence of the volcano of the rock, but God wanted to show people His miracles as from the same place from which the she-camel came out, the volcano erupted, the going out of the she-camel must have weakened the crust and this led to the swift emission of the trapped gas accompanied with the sound of the explosion which people could not bear.

God says what means:

For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble

used by one who pens cattle. (54: 31)

Haman as mentioned in the Holy Quran

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

Praise and glory to Allah (he who said) in the Holu Quran what means :

(Pharaoh said: O Chiefs! No god do I know for you but myself: therefore, o Haman! Light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar! )
( al-qasas, verse 38)



The Pharaoh mentioned in this verse is talking to the nobles of his nation telling them that he knows no God for them except himself, so he calls for Haman asking him to build him from the baked clay "which is the bricks" a high building so that he may see Moses’ God .

This verse points to many miracles such as:

1- Pharaoh making himself a God: as in saying ( No god do I know for you but myself ) the archeological researche which had been found on the ancient Egyptian civilization assure that the Pharaohs since the fourth dynasty claimed that they are the children of "god Raa "- the god of the sun which was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians , not only this but also the name "Raa" was among the pharaohs’ surnames such as "Raa Nip" , which means the golden god, and as "Pristed" the archeological scientist said "the most obvious proof that the Pharaohs were making themselves gods could be a song for the sun which had been saved by the texts of the pyramids repeated in it the identification of the Pharaoh as the god of the sun, this song is talking to Egypt including a wonderful long listing of the benefits that Egypt was enjoying them under the protection and ruling of the god of the sun in order of this he gives the Egyptian pharaoh the same benefits therefore, he must receives the same gifts from Egypt that is why the whole song is repeated again putting the name of pharaoh wherever comes the name of "Raa or Horase "in the original song".

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]


2- The second miracle is using the pharaohs the bricks in building towers:
Pharaoh asked Haman to build him a lofty palace "or a tower" from the baked clay which is the bricks, and this is considered as a historical miracle of the Holy Quran, as it was a common thought to the historiographers that the bricks didn’t appear in ancient Egypt except after the age of Romans, and this is according to the opinion of the historiographers makes an arguing about that verse which declares the demand of Pharaoh that Haman should build him a lofty palace from the baked clay or the bricks, and that remained the opinion of the historiographers until " Patry" an archeological scientist discovered an amount of burned bricks which used in building entombments and also used in establishing some of the bases of the buildings return back to the ages of the Pharaohs "Rammsis the second , Mrinbtah and Sity the second" from the nineteenth family (1308-1184 b.c ) and he discovered them in an archeological site not far away from ( Be Rammsis or kantir ) the Capital city of those pharaohs in the east of the Delta

3- The third miracle is pointing to one of pharaoh's assistant by his name "Haman" : Professor Morris Bokay mentioned the following:

The Holy Quran is mentioning a person called Haman who is one of pharaoh's attendants , and that last one demanded from him to build a high tower or a lofty palace allowing pharaoh as he said sarcastically from Moses to mount it and reach the God of his belief .

And I wanted to know if that name isn’t connected to a hieroglyphic name, It could be saved as a ×××××××× of the ××××××××s of that age, so then "Nakhara" would be occurred which means

"writing the letters of a language in the letters of another language" from a language to another , and I won't satisfied with an answer except if it is coming from an expert in the hieroglyphic language and also knows the Arabic language in a good way , so I asked a French egyptologue scientist the two previous mentioned conditions were perfectly available in him , I wrote in front of him the Arabic name of the eminent man "Haman" but I didn’t mention to him anything about the reality of the concerned text and just told him that this text is related to the seventh century a.c in a doubtless way, his first answer was that origin is impossible because it is not possible to find a text including a name of an eminent man in the hieroglyphic language and also having a hieroglyphic rhyme related to the seventh century a.c and it won't be well known till now ,that is because the hieroglyphic language had forgotten a long time before, on the other hand he advised me to check the dictionary of personal names of the new empire and to search for this name which symbolizes to me the hieroglyphic language if it is really found , he was just assuming this, and while searching I found it written in this dictionary exactly as I expected and Oh...What a surprise!! not only I found his name but also I found his job as it was written in German language "the chief of quarrying workers" but without any sign to the date of the text except that it is related to the empire which Moses' age was during it , and the job which was written points out that the mentioned parson was interested in the construction field, what makes us think of the comparison we can make between the order that pharaoh ordered in the Holy Quran and between what was specified in what was written.

God says: ( Pharaoh said: O Chiefs! No god do I know for you but myself: therefore, o Haman! Light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar! )

Discovering the Habitations of “Aad”

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

By : Feras Nour Alhak

Revised by : Magdy Abd Al-Shafy

Allahhas mentioned “Aad” ‘s people while talking about His messenger “Hud” (peace be upon him) as He saysin the Holy Quran what means:
(To Aad’s people we sent their brother “Hud” .He said: “O my people, worship Allah. You have no other god but Him. You are but inventing”). (Surat Hud, verse 50)



The Qur’an specified or pinpointed the location of “Aad” in Al-Ahqaaf that means “Dunes”. The Holy Qur’an didn’t tell us about its location but the exegetes said that it is located between Yemen and Oman. Allah says:
(Mention that the brother of Aad warned his people at the Dunes and verily there have been numerous warners before and after him.) (Surat Al-Ahqaaf “The Dunes”, verse 21)

The Qur’an tells us that “Aad” ’s people built a city called “Iram” which is mentioned in the Qur’an as Allah says what can be translated :
(Have you known what your Lord did to Aad. Iram; the city with huge pillars. Like which there is no other city anywhere.) (Surat Al-Fajr “The Dawn”, verses 6,7,8)

Historians said that “Aad” ’s people worshipped three idols; namely, ”sadaa”, “somoud”, “habaa”. This is according to what’s mentioned in the history of Al-Tabari.

“Hud” called his people to worship Allah and give up worshipping idols because this is the only way to avoid Allah’s torment on the doomsday. But what was the effect of this call on the tribe of “Aad”? They despised him and described him as being foolish, reckless and a liar. “Hud” dismissed these false accusations asserting that he was a messenger sent by God ,the Creator , and that he wanted nothing but advising them. Allah says:
(The Leaders who disbelieved among his people said, “Surely we see that you are behaving foolishly, and we think that you are a liar.) (Surat Al- A’raaf “The Purgatory”, verse 66)

The Reminding of Allah’s blessings:

“Hud” kept addressing his people in an attempt to convince them to return to the right path reminding them of Allah’s blessings over them, as he said what could be translated “ Is it too astonishing that Allah guides you through a man from your people who came to warn you of the bad end that will befall you as a result of your infidelity. Don’t you remember that Allah made you the inheritors of the earth after the people of Noah who were perished by their bad deeds, and that He granted you strength in your bodies and in your power? These blessings should make you believe in Allah and thank Him, not to make you infidels.”

Allah says in the Qur’an what means (Is it too much wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man like you, to warn you? Call in remembrance that He made you the inheritors after Noah’s people and gave you growth of stature. Remember Allah’s blessings that you may succeed.) (Surat Al-A’raaf “The Purgatory”, verse 69)

The Holy Qur’an tells us that Hud’s people didn’t thank Allah for His blessings, but ,rather, they indulged themselves in the vainglory and allurement of this world and turned haughty. Hence, “Hud” told them (Allah says in the Qur’an what means ):
(Do you build on every height a monument for vain delight! And you make fine buildings as if you will last forever! And when you strike, you strike mercilessly! Rather fear Allah and obey me. Fear Him Who has provided you with what you know. He provided you with livestocks and children. And gardens and springs. Truely I fear for you the retribution of a Great Day.) (Surat Al-Shu’araa “ The Poets”, verses 128 to 135)

When they disobeyed their messenger, Allah punished them by sending a stormy wind that was loaded with sands and dust, and it covered them completely and destroyed them. Allah says in the Qur’an what means :
( And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind.) (Surat Al-Haaqah” The Reality“, verse 6)

The Main Points that Mentioned about Aad in the Qur’an:

1) The people of “Hud” lived in “Al-Ahqaaf” which means “the Dunes”, and the historians say that it is located between Yemen and Oman.
2) “Aad” ‘s people were having groves, livestocks, and springs.
3) “Aad” ’s people built an enormous city called “Iram”, which had tremendous palaces and huge pillars. That is why, Allah has described it in the Qur’an as: “Iram; the city with huge pillars.”
4) When they accused “Hud” of lying, Allah sent a stormy wind loaded with dust that killed them and immersed their city in sands.

The Archaeological Finds of the City of Iram:

At the beginning of 1990, there appeared press-releases in the well-known newspapers of the world declaring "Fabled Lost Arabian city found", "Arabian city of Legend found", "The Atlantis of the Sands, Ubar". What rendered this archaeological finds more intriguing was the fact that this city was also referred to in the Qur’an. Many people who, since then, thought that ‘Ad recounted in the Qur’an was a legend or that their location could never be found, could not conceal their astonishment at this discovery. The discovery of this city, which was only mentioned in oral stories of Bedouins, arouse great interest and curiosity.

It was Nicholas Clapp, an amateur archaeologist, who found this legendary city that was mentioned in the Qur’an (1). Being an Arabophile and ××××××××ary film-maker winner, Clapp had come across a very interesting book during his research on Arabian history. This book was Arabia Felix , written by the English researcher "Bertram Thomas "in 1932. Arabia Felix was the Roman designation for the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula which today includes Yemen and much of Oman. The Greeks called this area "Eudaimon Arabia" and medieval Arab scholars called it "Al-Yaman as Al-Said".(2)

All of these names mean "Fortunate Arabia", because the people living in that region in old times were known to be the most fortunate people in their time. Well, what was the reason for such a designation?

Their good fortune was in part due to their strategic location - serving as middlemen in the spice trade between India and places north of the Arabian Peninsula. Besides, the people living in this region produced and distributed "frankincense", an aromatic resin from rare trees. Being highly favoured by the ancient communities, this plant was used as a fumigant in various religious rites. In those times, the plant was at least as valuable as gold.

The English researcher Thomas described these "lucky" tribes at length and claimed that he found the traces of an ancient city founded by one of these tribes(3). This was the city known as "Ubar" by the Bedouins. In one of the trips he made to the region, the Bedouins living in the desert had shown him well-worn tracks and stated that these tracks led toward the ancient city of Ubar. Thomas, who showed great interest in the subject died before being able to complete his research.

Clapp, who examined what the English researcher Thomas wrote, was convinced of the existence of the lost city described in the book. Without losing much time, he started his research. Clapp tried two ways to prove the existence of Ubar:

First, he found the tracks which the Bedouins said existed. He applied to NASA to provide the satellite images of the area. After a long struggle, he succeeded in persuading the authorities to take the pictures of the region(4).

Second, Clapp went on to study the ancient manuscripts and maps in the Huntington library in California. His aim was to find a map of the region. After a short research, he found one. What he found was a map drawn by the Greek-Egyptian geographer Ptolemy in 200 AD. In the map , was shown the location of an old city found in the region and the ways that led to this city.

Meanwhile, he received the news that the pictures had been taken by NASA. In the pictures, some caravan trails became visible which were difficult to identify with the naked eye, but could only be seen as a whole from the sky. Comparing these pictures with the old map he had in hand, Clapp finally reached the conclusion he was looking for: “ the trails in the old map correspond with the trails in the pictures taken from the satellite”. The final destination of these trails was understood to have been once a city.

Finally, the location of the legendary city which had been subject of the stories told orally by the Bedouins was discovered. After a short while, excavations began and remains of an old city started to be uncovered under the sands. Thus, this lost city was described as "the Atlantis of the Sands, Ubar".

Well, what was it that proved this city to be the city of the people
of ‘Ad mentioned in the Qur’an?

Right from the moment remains started to be unearthed, it was understood that this ruined city belonged to ‘Ad and Iram’s pillars mentioned in the Qur’an, because among the structures unearthed were the towers particularly referred to in the Qur’an.

A member of the research team leading the excavation, Dr. Zarins said that since the towers were alleged to be the distinctive feature of Ubar, and since Iram was mentioned as having towers or pillars, this then was the strongest proof so far that the site they had unearthed was Iram, the city of ‘Ad described in the Qur’an. The Qur’an mentions Iram as follows :
( Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the 'Ad (people), - Of the (city of) Iram, with lofty pillars, The like of which were not produced in (all) the land?) (Surat al-Fajr: 6-8)

The Miracle of Predicting the Unknown:

Long ago, historians misgave about the reality of Aad’s people, as the former did not find any trace of them. By the beginning of the 20th century, the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) made a voyage around the earth by a space shuttle equipped with a radar which was capable of deeply penetrating the soil ability. When the shuttle came across the Void Quarter, it’s been discovered that there was a stream of two dry rivers; one of them running from west to east, and the other running from south to north. That is why the Americans got dazzled because this site is the driest part of the earth, yet it had running rivers till the near past.

A picture of 2 dry rivers near Aad’s habitations taken by satellite.

Later on, the shuttle was equipped with more penetrating radar. It took a photo of a stream of two rivers that flow into a lake with a diameter of 40 Km. At the south of the Void Quarter. Between the two mouths of the river, the shuttle took pictures of a construction that is unexampled in its size. Hence, historians, archeologists, and men of religion were mobilized to determine the nature of this construction. All of them were unanimously agreed that this construction is “ the palaces of the city of “Iram”) which is described in the Qur’an as:
( Iram; the city with huge pillars. Like which there is no other city anywhere.) (Surat Al-Fajr (The Dawn), verses 7,8).

A picture of “Iram” ’s castles that were found on a depth of 10 meters under layers of sands. It is characterized by its huge pillars. The picture was taken via an American satellite.

When they began to remove the sands from the city, they discovered an eight-sided castle by the city fences. It was built upon many enormous pillars and is described by Allah as (Iram; the city with huge pillars.)

Who told the prophet Mohammad (the son of Abdullah) about the story of Aad? Who told him exactly its lactation in Al- Ahqaaf (the Dunes) that exists in the Void Quarter; the site which is characterized by its loose sands that occupy most of it? Who told him that the people of Aad had built a colossal city called “Iram” and that it had huge palaces and castles with great pillars. It is He, God , the Creator of the worlds, It is He Who sent the Qur’an on the heart of His dear prophet Mohammad (the son of Abdullah), as Allah (exalted be He) says:
(To Aad’s people we sent their brother Hud. He said, “ O my people worship Allah, you have no other god but Him. You are but inventing (50). O my people I don’t ask you for any reward, my reward is from none but Him who originated me (51). O my people seek your Lord’s forgiveness, and then repent to Him. He will then ask the sky to rain in abundance, and augment your strength and don’t turn back into transgressors (52)”) (Surat “Hud”.)

Allah also says in another position (to his prophet “Hud”):
(If they turn away, then say, “I have warned you of a stunning punishment like that of Aad and Thamoud (13). When the messengers came to them, from before him and behind them saying (worship none but Allah), they said (if your Lord had willed, He surely would have sent down angels, so we are surely unbelievers in that with which you are sent) (14). As for Aad, they turned haughty on earth without right, and said “ who is mightier than us in power?” did they not realize that Allah, Who created them, is mightier than them in power? And they denied our revelations (15). Consequently, we sent upon them a furious wind in ominous days that we might make them taste the torment of humiliation in this life, and verily the torment of the Hereafter will be more humiliating and they will find no help (16). ) (Surat Fussilat (Detailed))

Baca the Holy city of The Muslims pilgrimage is in the Holy Bible

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]



Praise Be to Allah Alone, No a partner in His dominion, To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens And the earth,

It is who sent down the gospel and Torah, The lord and Sovereign of every thing, The Omniscient of his creatures

He compasses round the secret and clandestine matters behind any thing.
Whoever contemplates the Holy Quran, Sura Al-Imran in particular, especially the Divine addressing to the people of the Book ( the Christian and the Jews ), He will find that " the Divine addressing "discloses their attempts to counterfeit facts and deceive people by hiding the true facts and leading people astray by keeping these people away from the true facts, In addition, he will know how much those people are keen on taking people away from the irrefutable truth and the straight path.

On reading the research entitled " The prophet Mohammed in the Torah and the Gospel " written by Dr Mohammed Abdal-Khalik Shrebah and published on this site, I was overwhelmed by a strange feeling towards the attempt of the Christian to distort the word "Baca" in the Holy Bible, the English version " ( New king James version )to the word Bokaa in the Arabic version, which is different in meaning, it means wailing.

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

Compare the two texts:

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. they will be still praising you, blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage as they pass through the valley of Baca make it a well)

Here is the literal translation of the Arabic version, you will see two important words changed:

Blessed are they whose strength is in you whose heart is set on your house (N.B the word pilgrimage is removed )as they pass through the valley of crying (N.B the word Baca is replaced with the word Bokaa that mans crying ) make it a well.

Unless this word " Baca " had been –and still is - strong evidence of the Divine origin of Islam, they wouldn't have made this unsuccessful attempt which has increased our belief and adherence to Islam.

Though in the English copy, the statement focuses on the holiness of the place " Baca" and its coherence to pilgrimage, we find that the word pilgrimage has been replace with Bokaain the Arabic copy. The word Bokaa means crying.

It is clear that the reason behind changing the word " Baca ", which is another name of Makka to the word Bokaa and removing any indication about the pilgrimage is that they wanted to keep away the Arab Christians, who hears the Holy Quran daily recited, specially Sura Al-I-Imran, which mentions the word Baca, clearly from being affected. just consider the following Quranic verse, Allah Says in the Holy Quran :

" The first House ( of worship ) Appointed for men Was That at Baca full of blessing And of guidance for all kinds of beings. In It are Signs Manifest ; ( for example ), The Station of Abraham, whoever enters it Attains security; pilgrimage thereto is a duty Men owe to God, Those who can afford The journey : but if any Deny faith, God stands not in need of any of His creatures.

A picture of the holy Bible (Psalm 84).

The word Baca and pilgrimage is clear Strangely enough, Though the word "Baca" will not mean any thing to the westerner Christian, who does not listen to Holy Quran nor understand the Arabic language, they have removed the word from the other refined English versions of the Gospel

Now, The question is " Are there any signs or hints in Holy Quran about this particular interpolation? We will leave the answer to Sura AL -Imran, whose Holy name indicates that it speaks about the people of the Book. This verse takes place in the middle of the addressing of God to them. In This verse, Allah asks them to bring the Torah and recite it if they are veracious.

God, showing that they are not veracious, has threatened whoever tries to invent a lie and attribute it to Him and describes them as unjust wrong-doer, and by this, God gives the evidence of their continuous shameful deeds concerning displacing the words in their Holy Books.

After that, God mentions this axial verse No. "96", in which the word Baca is mentioned. So the Amazing indication of the place of this verse, which is not alien to the Quranic tissue is completely clear. It shows a Divine creativity and a miracle of His eternal knowledge of the unseen Which is concerned with their attempt of displacing " This word " which Allah mentioned with extreme accuracy in Holy Quran. God mentioned the word that begins with the Arabic letter "ب" which is pronounced like the English letter "B". God didn't mention it with the letter "م " as in مكة and this proves that God, The glorious and most high, is omniscient and compasses round all what they do. No letters, nothing smaller than letters, nothing bigger than can be hidden from Him in any Heavenly Book, as God, the Almighty, himself revealed the Holy books, the Bible, the Gospel and the Psalms and all the books that were revealed to prophets so, we can now understand the beginning of Sura Al-imran:

A.L.M God ! There is no God But He ,-the Living, The self-Subsisting Eternal. It is He Who sent down To thee(step by step), in truth, the Book Confirming what went before it : And He sent down the Law (Of Moses ) and the Gospel ( of Jesus )before this, As a guide to mankind And He sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong .

The mentioning of the old Egyptian rulers in the Glorious Quran and the difference between the word

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

By Feras Nour Alhak

In the Quran, the old rulers of Egypt have been mentioned and the Glorious Quran makes difference between them. When it narrates about Egypt rulers at the age of Moses, peace upon him; they are not called with any name other than the word" pharos". This is in more than sixty Ayah(verse) like the following Ayah:

And(remember) when we did deliver you from pharaoh's folk, who were afflicting you with dreadful torment slaying your sons and sparing your women: that was a tremendous trial from your Lord. (Al-Baqarah) between them. But when it narrates about Egypt rulers at the age of Joseph, peace upon him; they are not called with any name other than the word "king".

Allah says:

And the king said: I saw in a dream, seven fat kine which seven lean were eating, and seven green ears of corn and seven dry. (Surat Joseph).

And Allah says:

And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women cut their hands. My Lord knoweth thee guile.

The mentioning of the old rulers of Egypt in the Torah.

In Torah, there is no difference between the rulers of Egypt at the age of the prophet Moses and the rulers at the age of the prophet Joseph, they are called pharaoh without any difference between them.

In Torah (Exodus) chapter 9(13). And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.

But when it (Torah) narrates about the ruler of Egypt At the age of Joseph in the Genesis(chapter 41):

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.


A portrait of the clause of the pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt

38: And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39: And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled.

The ancient Egyptian civilization.

The ancient Egyptian civilization was still unknown. No one knew any thin about it except some obvious monuments most of which have plunged into the sand of the desert in Giza, Aswan and Luxor. So had been the case until Gan Franso Shmbelion, a French scientist broke the symbols of the ancient Egyptian language using Rosetta stone which was discovered during the French campaign on Egypt. A text in two language and three writings has been carved out of it: the ancient Egyptian one and it was written in Hieroglyph which means the sacred writing because it was specialized for writing inside the temples,Dimutiqi which means the popular writing and the Greek language . Through comparing between them , he succeeded to break the codes of the Hieroglyphic language . That discovery led to other monumental discoveries and recognizing the life of Pharaohs and ancient Egyptian.

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

The word of Pharaohs.

The word Pharaohs means The Great House in the old Egyptian language which had been used after that as a title for Egyptian rulers . That title was not discovered until from the beginning of the eighteenth dynasty i.e. (1539Bc) on. That means that all that period preceded that date , the title of the Egyptian rulers was The King and there is no disagreement about that even at the time of Hyksos occupation of Egypt (whose name means the king of the sponsors in the old Egyptian language) from 1648 to 1540 BC or before that period.

Joseph, peace be upon him traveling to Egypt.

It is agreeable that Joseph going to Egypt and his reign had been before the mission of Moses, peace be upon him. This is because Allah says narrating what was said by a believer one of Pharaoh's folk: And verily Joseph brought you of

brought you of old clear proofs, yet ye ceased not to be in doubt concerning what be brought you till, when he died, he said : Allah will not send any messenger after him. Thus Allah deceiveth him who is a prodigal, a doubter.(Surat Ghafir).

The Egyptian said that Allah would not send a messenger because the long period after him in when Allah did not send a messenger in contrast to the prophets of the children of Israel who were sent by Allah throughout short periods of time. Since Moses mission was at the age of the Pharaoh of Egypt (Ramsees the second) as it was clear in a previous research, thus undoubtedly; Joseph was in Egypt before the age of the eighteenth dynasty i.e. the period in which the Egyptian rulers were called kings regardless of being Egyptians or they were Hyksos , as all people called them kings.

A portrait of a block of stone discovered in the area of Shatea el-Gazira in upper Egypt handling a starvation happened at the age of the king Zoser of the third dynasty and lasted for seven years.



The stone of Gazirat el- Shatea .

A stone dating back to the third dynasty and exactly to the age of king Zoser was discovered. The following text was carved out of it:( king Zoser asked the gods to end the starvation that struck Egypt and lasted for seven years etc…). I believe that Joseph ruled Egypt at the age of king Zoser , at the time of the third dynasty because it was credited that this starvation lasted for seven years . It was also hinted that the ruler of Egypt was the king not the Pharaoh and this is in accordance with the glorious Quran.

The Quran miracle about The Unknown.

The Quran makes different between two important ages in the history of Egypt which are the age of the pre-Pharaohs i.e. before the eighteenth dynasty who called their rulers the kings and the age of the post-Pharaohs who called their rulers the Pharaohs and this started from the eighteenth dynasty. That is in contrast to the Torah that has not made difference between the two ages and the two titles: in Torah, Pharaoh is a title for the rulers of Egypt whether at the time of the prophet Joseph or at the time of the prophet Moses and this contradicts the modern science.

As for the glorious Quran, it was and is still the book of Allah at which falsehood cannot come from before it or behind it and which does not have any contradiction.

Allah says:"will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity."

The Troubles which Afflicted Pharaoh

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

haraoh and those people close to him were so devoted to their polytheistic system and pagan beliefs that not even message of the Prophet Musa (as), armed with wisdom and spectacular miracles, could soften their hearts and thus turn them away from baseless superstitions. They also openly stated this fact:

They said, "No matter what kind of Sign you bring us to bewitch us, we will not believe in you." (Qur'an, 7:132)

Because of their haughty attitude, Allah sent to them afflictions, described as "Signs, clear and distinct"in one verse, in order to punish them for their haughtiness. (Qur'an, 7:133) The first of these was drought. As a result, there was a fall in production. The relevant verse of the Qur'an states:

We seized Pharaoh's people with years of drought and scarcity of fruits so that hopefully they would pay heed. (Qur'an, 7:130)

The Egyptians' agricultural systems depended on the River Nile and changes in natural conditions did not therefore generally affect them. However, Pharaoh and those around him suffered greatly because of their pride and refusal to recognise Allah's Messenger. Yet instead of "paying heed," they regarded these events as bad luck caused by the Prophet Musa (as) and the Tribe of Israel. Following that, Allah sent a series of tribulations. We are told of these in the Qur'an:

So We sent down on them floods, locusts, lice, frogs and blood, Signs, clear and distinct, but they proved arrogant and were an evildoing people. (Qur'an, 7:133).

The details in the papyrus regarding the disasters that struck the people of Egypt are just as described in the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, we are told about these catastrophes. This Islamic account of this period of human history has.



In the early 19th century a papyrus dating back to the Middle Kingdom was discovered in Egypt. The papyrus was taken to the Leiden Museum in Holland and translated by A.H. Gardiner in 1909. The entire text appears in the book Admonitions of an Egyptian from a Hieratic Papyrus in Leiden, and describes major changes in Egypt; famine, drought, the slaves’ flight from Egypt with their assets, and death all over the nation. The papyrus was written by an Egyptian called Ipuwer and it appears from its contents that this individual personally witnessed the disasters that struck Egypt. This papyrus is a most significant hand-written description of the catastrophes, the death of Egyptian society and the destruction of Pharaoh

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

been confirmed by the discovery in Egypt, in the early 19th century, of the Ipuwer papyruses dating back to the Middle Kingdom. After the discovery of this papyrus, it was sent to the Leiden Dutch Museum in 1909 and translated by A. H. Gardiner, a prominent scholar of ancient Egypt. In the papyrus were described such disasters in Egypt as famine, drought and the fleeing of the slaves from Egypt. Moreover, it appears that the writer of the papyrus, one Ipuwer, had actually witnessed these events. This is how the Ipuwer papyrus refers to these catastrophes described in the Qur'an:

Plague is throughout the land. Blood is everywhere.(1)

The river is blood.(2)

Forsooth, that has perished which yesterday was seen. The land is left over to its weariness like the cutting of flax.(3)

Lower Egypt weeps... The entire palace is without its revenues. To it belong (by right) wheat and barley, geese and fish.(4)

Forsooth, grain has perished on every side.(5)

The land-to its whole extent confusion and terrible noise… For nine days there was no exit from the palace and no one could see the face of his fellow… Towns were destroyed by mighty tides… Upper Egypt suffered devastation… blood everywhere… pestilence throughout the country… No one really sails north to Byblos today. What shall we do for cedar for our mummies?… Gold is lacking…(6)

Men shrink from tasting-human beings, and thirst after water.(7)

That is our water! That is our happiness! What shall we do in respect thereof? All is ruin!(8)

The towns are destroyed. Upper Egypt has become dry.(9)

The residence is overturned in a minute.(10)

The chain of disasters which struck the people of Egypt, according to this ××××××××, conforms perfectly with the Qur'anic account of these matters.215 This papyrus, which closely parallels the catastrophes which struck Egypt in the time of Pharaoh, once again demonstrates the Qur'an to be divine in origin.

And Allah Will Protect You from People

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

he call of the Messenger (Peace be upon him) to Islam provoked the polytheists and aroused their rage. It also fuelled the Jews’ grudge and guile. After the Moslems exodus to Madina , the Jews and the polytheists joined hands to pose a real threat on the life of Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him).



Conspiracies aiming at assassinating or killing him increased, and precautions and preparations against such conspiracies and threats represented a burden impeding the task of propagating Islam. Therefore, Allah promised to protect his Messenger against his enemies, and told him of that in His Saying: (O Messenger! Proclaim what has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you did not, then you would not have fulfilled and proclaimed His Message. Allah will protect you from men (who mean mischief), for Allah guides not those who reject Truth.) (V:67)

Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) said: “Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) used to be guarded until the verse (Allah will protect you from men) was revealed. Thereupon he looked out of the tent and asked the guards to go freeing them of the assignment of guarding him , saying: “O people! Go away, for Allah, the Exalted, has guaranteed my security.”

This represented an excellent example of utter trust in the promise of Allah (SWT) and the perfect confidence in its realization. Thenceforth he did not appoint guards for his private security, exclusively trusting in and depending on the truthful Divine Promise.

A reasonable man would not risk his life if he had any doubt about the truthfulness of such a promise. Subsequent events occurred then, realizing Allah’s Promise to safeguard his Messenger.

Following are three of such events:

The event of “That Al-Riqa’ campaign”:
Jabir ibn Abdullah said: “ We accompanied Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) in Najd Campaign. When he was in a valley full of thorny trees and it was midday nap, he sat in the shade of a tree and hung his sword. The others also scattered in the shade of trees. While we were in that state Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) called us. We went to him to see a Bedouin sitting in front of him. He said: ‘This (Bedouin) came upon me while I was asleep and drew my sword. I woke up to see him standing over me brandishing an unsheathed sword. He said: ‘Who can protect you from me?’ I said: ‘Allah!’ Then he sheathed the sword and sat down, as you see him.’ Allah’s Apostle (Peace be upon him) did not punish him.”

The Victory of Byzantium

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]


Another astonishing piece of revelation that the Qur'an gives about the future is to be found in the first verses of Sura Rum, which refers to the Byzantine Empire, the eastern part of the later Roman Empire. In these verses, it is stated that the Byzantine Empire had met with a great defeat, but that it would soon gain victory.

(Elif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will themselves be victorious in a few years' time. The affair is God's from beginning to end.) (The Qur'an, 30:1-4)

The Dead Sea basin where Byzantium was defeated by Persians. Above is a satellite photograph of the region. The Lake of Lut region, which is the lowest region of the world, is 395 meter below the sea level.


[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

These verses were revealed around 620 AD, almost seven years after the severe defeat of Christian Byzantium at the hands of the idolater Persians. Yet it was related in the verses that Byzantium would shortly be victorious. In fact, Byzantium had then suffered such heavy losses that it seemed impossible for it even to survive, let alone be victorious again. Not only the Persians, but also Avars, Slavs and Lombards posed serious threats to the Byzantine Empire. The Avars had reached as far as the walls of Constantinople. The Byzantine Emperor Heraclius had ordered the gold and silver in churches to be melted and turned into money in order to meet the expenses of the army. When these proved insufficient, even bronze statues were melted down to be turned into money. Many governors had revolted against Emperor Heraclius, and the empire was on the point of collapse. Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia, which had earlier belonged to Byzantium, were invaded by the idolater Persians(1)

In short, everyone was expecting the Byzantine Empire to be destroyed. But right at that moment, the first verses of Sura Rum were revealed, announcing that Byzantium would triumph in a few years' time. This victory seemed so impossible that Arab polytheists had gone so far as to make fun of these verses. They thought that the victory announced in the Qur'an would never come true.

Around seven years after the revelation of the first verses of Sura Rum, in December 627 AD, a decisive battle between Byzantium and the Persian Empire was fought at Nineveh. And this time the Byzantine army unexpectedly defeated the Persians. A few months later, the Persians had to make an agreement with Byzantium, which obliged them to return the territories they had taken from it.(2)

At the end, "the victory of the Romans," proclaimed by God in the Qur'an, miraculously came true.

Another miracle revealed in these verses is the announcement of a geographical fact that could not have been known by anyone at that time.

In the third verse of Sura Rum, we are informed that the Romans had been defeated in the lowest region of the Earth. This expression, "Adna al Ard" in Arabic, is interpreted as "a nearby place" in many translations. Yet this is not the literal meaning of the original statement, but rather a figurative interpretation of it. The word "Adna" in Arabic is derived from the word "deni", which means "low" and "ard", which means "world". Therefore the expression "Adna al Ard" means "the lowest place on the Earth".

Most interestingly, the crucial stages of the war fought between the Byzantine Empire and the Persians, when the Byzantines were defeated and lost Jerusalem, had really taken place at the lowest point on earth. This specified region is the Dead Sea basin, which is situated at the intersection point of the lands belonging to Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. The "Dead Sea", lying 395 meters below sea level, really is the lowest region on Earth.

This means that the Byzantines were defeated at the lowest part of the world, just as stated in the verse.

The most interesting point lies in the fact that the altitude of the Dead Sea could only be measured with modern measurement techniques. Before that, it was impossible for anyone to know that it was the lowest region on the surface of the Earth. Yet, this region was stated to be the lowest point on the Earth in the Qur'an. Hence, this provides further evidence that the Qur'an is divine revelation.

Prophet Mohummed predicted the swift Spread of Islam

[فقط الأعضاء المسجلين والمفعلين يمكنهم رؤية الوصلات . إضغط هنا للتسجيل]

An astounding miracle !!!
By Mr Abd Al-Da'em Al-Kaheel
Translated by Mr: Magdy Abd Al-Shafy

An overall look on the past and the present of Islam
Here is a new astounding prophecy ; in this prophecy prophet Mohummed predicted the swift spreading of Islam and that Islam would cover the whole of the earth . We will get to know this through this modern statistics regarding the number of Moslems all over the world .
Islam has begun with just one person ; he was prophet Mohummed . The number of Moslems has become more than one thousand and four hundred million Moslems now !! what is the reason behind this astounding swift spread of the number of Moslems and what do the international statistics says about the number of Moslems nowadays ?
There are more than 4200 religions all over the world (1)and the statistics says the Islam is the most widely –spread religion as in 1999 the number of Moslems reached 1200 million Moslems (2) , Nowadays the number of Moslems is growing increasingly in the six known continents as follows :(3)

In Asia ,the total number of Moslems has reached 780 Millions .
In Africa ,the total number of Moslems has reached 308 Millions .
In Europe, the total number of Moslems has reached 32 Millions .
In America, the total number of Moslems has reached 7 Millions .
In Australia, the total number of Moslems has reached 358 thousands .

The growth of the Moslem proportion ( rate )

The number of Moslems was less than the number of Christians in 1900 ,but the number of the Moslems will be more than the number of the Christians because of the great growth the Islamic religion .(4)
In 1900 the number of Moslems went as far as 12.4% while the number of Christians went as far as 26.9%.
In 1980 the number of Moslems all over the world went as far as 16.5% while the number of Christians went as far as 30%.
In 2000 the number of Moslems went as far as 19.2% while the number of Christians went as far as 29.8%.
But in 2025 the number of the Moslems will go as far as 30% but the number of Christians will go as far as 25%.
And now we come to the conclusion that Islam is increasing at the rate of 2.9%
a year and this is the highest rate of growth in the world .(5)
How did the prophet discuss this matter ?
Through an astounding prophetical miracle , our great prophet showed that Islam will cover the whole of the earth , prophet Mohummed said " Islam will go as far as day and night go" and this means that Islam will reach every part in the earth that day and the night reach and this what happened because in every country now you can find Moslems , and if we remember that prophet Mohummed said these words when the Moslems were very few in number, in addition to their weakness , also they were in conditions that were so hard that no one could expect that Islam would spread to reach each corner of the earth , we will understand the greatness of this miracle . This hadith (traditional saying of the prophet )- to Moslems - was a consolation over their weakness and their being few in number , if Mohummed hadn't been a prophet sent from God , he would not have dared to tell his companions that Islam would stretch to every corner in the earth – how could he be sure of that ?!
Only God, who knows the Unseen told Mohummed of this fact so as to tell his companions about it more than 1400 years ago and also to be a true sign of his prophethood .
Also one of the indications of this miracle is that prophet Mohummed associated the spread of Islam with day and nigh ,and as you know that day and night reach every point in the earth , Islam does that too. This was something that could not be imagined at that time . Another important scientific miracle is latent in the above mentioned words of prophet Mohummed is that no one – at that time –knew how far day and night go at that time , and no one knew at that time that the earth is round in shape and no one dared to imagine that Islam would stretch to every corner in the earth .
How did the holy Qu'ran comment on this mater ?
God says in the holy Qu'ran what means " Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse. . He it is who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse. "

After you contemplate about this verse" He may cause it to prevail over all religion," don't you think that it is a sign that Islam will be the most widely -spread religion all over the world ? and this what will happen soon , God willing ! Statistics says that Islam will be the most widely- spread religion in number in the year 2025 and this fact is accurate and not an overstatement.
These statistics is made by non-Moslems scientists
