Winner of the Clarion Five Star Review and the 2012 Independent Publisher Book Awards Silver Medal (IPPY is the world's largest book awards competition, in which 372 medalists were chosen from among 5,206 entries in 2012), this book does not delve into matters of a religious nature but, instead, asks a simple yet profound question: Does the inclusion of scores of accurate modern-day scientific insights in a book that is more than fourteen hundred years old constitute proof for the existence of a Supreme Being? In The Science of the Quran, Ahmad Hassan presents more than thirty intriguing areas of modern science and argues stunning agreement with the Quran. How can the Quran, a book that is more than fourteen hundred years old and believed to be the pure and direct revelation from the Supreme Being to the prophet Muhammad, furnish such clear, scientific insight? The conclusion is inescapable: the Supreme Being's existence is real and provable. Scientific topics of discussion include the expansion of the universe, black holes, the big bang, plate tectonics, the last universal common ancestor, evolution, and the invention of modern-day airplanes and cruise ships, among many others. Ahmad also reviews the origin and spirit of the Quran and Muhammad's life and mission and provides a colorful tour through more than twenty-five hundred years of science history and milestones. This book explains material in an engaging and easy-to-understand manner and is written for general readers unfamiliar with the Quran, science, or both. Only a rational mind and an eagerness to learn and explore are required for this journey!
