Truth has it descended : and We sent you

but to give glad tidings and to warn(sinners). It is a Quran which We have

divided (into parts from time to time) in

order that you might recite it to men atintervals : We have revealed it by stages

Book wherein there is no doubt -from the Lord of the Universe

It replies to accusations made

against it :

The author seems to know the

critics and the criticism that will be

hurled at this Book. He provides

responses to them within the Book

itself.

If they say Muhammad wrote it !

And thou was not able to recite a bookbefore this (Book came) nor art thou(able to) transcribe it with thy right

hand. In that case, indeed would thetalkers of vanities have doubted. Nay,here are Signs, self-evident in thehearts of those endowed withknowledge. And none but the unjustreject Our Signs

gradually(Surah Al-Furqan : 32)

IT PROVIDES CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS

AS TO ITS INTERPRETATIONS

In it are established verse; they are the

foundation of the Book; others are

allegorical. But those in whose heartsis perversity follow the part thereof

that is allegorical, seeking discord and

searching for its hidden meanings;but no one knows its hidden meaning

except Allah( Surah ali-Imran : 7)



38/72

Thus it exposes themethods of thosewho tries to find

fault with it !



39/72

Those finding fault with Quran often

give wrong interpretations by :

s taking the verses out of context.

sgive meaning to allegorical verses

which is inconsistent with that ofthe established verses.

snot relying on the Arabic, but use

translations in other language



40/72

Those finding fault with Quran often

give wrong interpretations by :

s ignoring the science of Tafsir :

- Asbaabun-nuzul;

- Nasakh-mansukh;- Makiyyah/Madaniyyah;

- Mujmal-mufassal;

- Qiraat, Nahu, Bayan, Mantiq,Balaghah, etc..

sVICTORY OVER MAKKAHTruly did Allah fulfil the vision for His Messenger: Ye

shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, with minds

secure, heads, shaved, hair cut short, and without fear.

For He knew what ye knew not and He granted besides

this a speedy victory. It is He who has sent His

Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to

proclaim it over all religion: and enough is Allah for aWitness.

We created man from a quintessence (gentle

extraction) of clay; We then placed him as a drop

(nutfah) in a place of rest firmly fixed; then We

made the drop into an alaqah (leech-like); anthen We change the alaqah into mudghah

(chewed-like substance); then We made out o

that mudghah bones (izam); then We clothe

the bones with flesh (lahm); then We developeout of it another creation. So blessed be Allah,

the best to create.(Q : al-Muminun : 23:12-15)

the angel records it.(Hadith reported by Muslim in Kitab al-Qadr)

It appears that Human knowledge had, at

one time contradicted some of the facts

brought by Islam on some aspects of

reproduction. It is also realised that as

man discovers new facts, he finds himself

repeating what had already been stated by

the Quran and the Hadith.

Embryology, Keith L Moore.Embryology, Keith L Moore.

Professor K. Moore found that his answers(concerning human reproduction) were in full

agreement with the information in the Quran

and Hadith. He said : If I was asked thesequestions 30 years ago, I would not have

been able to answer half of them for lack

of scientific information.
