Miracle of the Qur'an, - The Cloning of Living Things

[Satan said:] "I will lead them astray and fill them with false hopes.
I will command them and they will cut off cattle's ears. I will
command them and they will change Allah's Creation." Anyone who takes
satan as his protector in place of Allah has clearly lost everything."
(Surat an-Nisa', 119)
The above verse contains the expression"yubattikunna,"which derives
from the verb"battaka"meaning "to cut off or break off." The
term"yughayyirunna"in the verse derives from the verb "ghayyara,"
meaning "to change, alter, impair a thing's original form." At the end
of both verbs appears the confirmatory letter "nun." With these
expressions, this verse of Surat an-Nisa' may, in one aspect, be
pointing to the scientific activity of copying or cloning of
organisms. (Allah knows the truth.) This is because cloning
experiments are generally conducted with cells taken from an animal's
ear. To put it another way, a replica of a living thing is produced
along with the extraction of cells from tissue samples "cut from
animals' ears," just as described in the verse.
A report by the German Federal Agricultural Research Center provides
the following information:
The tissue collection phase is short and simple. Once an animal has
been located and restrained,a tissue sample like an ear clippingcan be
collected within seconds. Furthermore, somatic cells can be collected
from all species… For cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, camelids and llamas,
a unified and identical procedure can be usedby obtaining a tissue
sample from the earusing notchers which are also used for setting
earmarks… Clearly, for all species lymphocytes could be used,
butsomatic cells from ear clippings will be much easier to obtain and
are therefore preferable. 60
Snuppy, the cloned dog
Some reports concerning organisms cloned by taking samples from ear
tissue include:- Another BBC report ...
- According to a report by Reuters dated 1 May, 2002, a research
veterinarian at the University of Sao Paolo in Brazil, Jose Visintin,
produced cloned embryos for the first time in the country by using
cells taken from the ear of an adult cow. 61
- According to a BBC report, South Korean scientists cloned a dog
called Snuppy from cells taken from a three year-old Afghan hound.
Researchers at Seoul National University extracted genetic material
from the cells taken from the ear and placed it into an empty egg
cell. An embryo was then obtained by stimulating the cell to divide.
62
- Another BBC report said that a new clone had been produced using ear
cells from an adult cow in research carried out by Dr. Jean-Paul
Renard et al. at the Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique in
France .63
In the cloning process, DNA from a cell of the living thing planned to
be copied is placed under the microscope and placed into an egg cell
from another member of the same species. The DNA of the animal
intended to be copied is used for this. An electric shock is then
applied, which stimulates the egg cell to start dividing. The embryo
continues to divide and is placed into the womb of a member of the
species, and is then left to develop and be born.
- According to information of the official Human Genome Project
website, in February 2002, scientists from Advanced Cell Technologies
(ACT), an American biotechnology company, carried out experiments on
cloning a cow embryo using the skin cell of the donor cow's ear. 64
- A report by Associated Press, dated 24 January, 2000, announced that
Japanese scientists
- had cloned the clone of a bull for the first time. In the
re-cloning, skin tissue samples from
- the first generation cloned bull's ear were taken when it was four
months old. These cells
- were then fused with an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus had
been removed. 65
- The way that changes in the Creation of living things are referred
to in the Qur'an are highly significant. The expression "cutting off
cattle's ears," at a time when no branches of science such as genetics
or embryology existed, shows that the Qur'an has come down from the
Sight of our Lord, Allah, Who is unfettered by time and space. We are
also told at the end of the verse that these people will be
disappointed when they alter what Allah has created. The verse may
therefore be indicating that cloning will give rise to various
problems for human beings. (Allah knows the truth.) Indeed, statements
from the Genetic Science Learning Center of the University of Utah
provide the following information:
When we hear of cloning successes, we learn about only the few
attempts that worked.Whatwe don't see are the many, many cloning
experiments that failed!And even in the successful clones, problems
tend to arise later, during the animal's development to adulthood. 66
Information from the Human Genome Projects website takes this form:
Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned from adult DNA, [died on] Feb.
14, 2003. Prior to her death, Dolly had been suffering from lung
cancer and crippling arthritis…More than 90% of cloning attempts fail
to produce viable offspring… In addition to low success rates,cloned
animals tend to have more compromised immune function and higher rates
of infection, tumor growth, and other disorders.Japanese studies have
shown that cloned micelive in poor health and die early… Appearing
healthy at a young age unfortunately is not a good indicator of long
term survival. Clones have been known to die mysteriously. For
example, Australia's first cloned sheep appeared healthy and energetic
on the day she died, and the results from her autopsy failed to
determine a cause of death. 67
Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned, died on February 14, 2003.
In general terms, the risks arising from cloning experiments are as follows:
1)A high failure rate:The level of success is just 0.1%-3%. That means
a failure rate of 970-999 for every 1000 experiments. 68
2) Problems during development:Cloned animals that do survive
generally have abnormally larger organs compared to the originals.
This may lead to respiratory and circulatory difficulties, unhealthy
kidneys and brains, and an impaired immune system.
3) Abnormal gene expression patterns:Although clones have the same DNA
sequences as the originals, the cell nucleus in the clone does not
have the same program as that in a natural embryo. To put it another
way, the DNA cannot activate the right set of genes essential for the
development of the clone at the right time. For example, cells of all
kinds, nerve, bone, blood or skin for example, all have different
programs but the genetic programs in the cloned embryo do not work as
healthily as those in a natural embryo.
4) Telomeric differences:Chromosomes are shortened as cells divide.
The reason for this is that DNA sequences at both ends of a
chromosome, known as telomeres, are shortened during each DNA
replication. As an animal grows older, the telomeres shorten as part
of the natural aging process . Therefore, the copied life form has
shortened chromosomes from the moment it is born, just as if it were
actually older.
Genetic material taken from living cells is used in cloning
experiments, but fertilization takes place artificially. The
reproduction mechanism created by Allah is thus impaired with these
methods, and unidentified diseases, developmental deficiencies and
early deaths are encountered. Fourteen centuries ago, it was of course
impossible to know that scientists would eventually engage in cloning
and that they would encounter enormous problems despite the millions
of dollars they spend on their projects. Once again, it is
demonstrated in this verse that the Qur'an is a divine scripture.

Miracle of the Qur'an, - The Sun's Hydrogen and Helium Content

The Sun is made up of 70% hydrogen (H) and 28% helium (He) atoms.
57Other substances make up less than 2% of the Sun's constitutions.
One of the most astonishing facts about the Sun is this: six hundred
million tons of hydrogen are converted into a mind-boggling 596
million tons of helium in the Sun every second. The remaining 4
million tons is given off as heat and light energy. 58In that sense,
the first thing that comes to mind when the Sun is mentioned is the
letters H (hydrogen) and He (helium) that stand for the Sun. All the
15 verses in Surat ash-Shams of the Qur'an (Shams meaning 'Sun'), end
in the letters H and E. The Arabic equivalent of these letters are:
The Arabic form of the verses in Surat ash-Shams and the final letters
thereof can be seen below:As can be seen, all ...
Almighty Allah has created all the details in nature, and is still
creating them. All our knowledge about such details allow us to
comprehend our Lord's Omniscience. In one verse, we are told:
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but
they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat
al-Baqara, 255)
Heart Massage
Many miraculous features of the Qur'an prove it is Allah's Word. It
contains scientific details, extraordinary scientific codes as well as
many other features which categorically prove its divine status. In
addition, information which could not have been scientifically proven
during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (saas) is found in
abundance in Allah's Holy Book. The fact that only 20th and
21st-century technology has confirmed some of the Qur'anic verses
provides clear proof that the Qur'an cannot be the work of any human
being.
One of the verses that may be referring to the future is verse 73 of
Surat al-Baqara:
Remember when you killed someone and violently accused each other of
it, and Allah brought out what you were hiding. We said, 'Hit him with
part of it!' In that way Allah gives life to the dead and He shows you
His Signs so that hopefully you will understand. (Surat al-Baqara,
72-73)
Among the meanings of the Arabic term "bibaadiha," translated as "with
part of it" in the above verse, is "someone or some people." In the
context of that meaning, the verse may be a reference to heart
massage, striking the chest from above, which makes it possible to
restart the heart if it has stopped beating. (Allah knows the truth.)
When the chest is struck from above during heart massage, the heart
can start beating once again. The words "We said, 'Hit him with part
of it!' In that way Allah gives life to the dead..." in the verse may
be a reference to this effect of heart massage. (Allah knows the
truth).
In such a scenario, the person to whom the massage is administered has
the characteristics of a dead body: loss of consciousness,
debilitating respiratory problems and decreasing heartbeat. With our
present-day knowledge, heart massage can be applied to someone whose
heart has stopped, enabling heartbeat and vital functions to resume.
Pressure is applied to the rib cage at specific intervals during heart
massage. Then, the rhythmic contraction required for it to continue
pumping blood can be re-established. In that context, the striking of
a dead body in such a way as to restore it to life, as stated in the
verse, may be suggestive of the heart massage technique. The Qur'an is
the word of Almighty Allah, He Who creates all things from nothing -
and Whose knowledge enfolds all things. Every verse of the Qur'an
therefore contains information revealed with the wisdom of our
Almighty Lord. In one verse, Allah refers to the Qur'an itself as
follows:
... Will they not ponder the Qur'an? If it had been from other than
Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it. (Surat
an-Nisa', 82)

Miracle of the Qur'an, - The Sun Will Eventually Expire

And the Sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the
Almighty, the All-Knowing. (Surah Ya Sin, 38)
A photograph of the Sun taken by NASA. The bright areas on the Sun are
those regions where the magnetic field is strongest.
The Sun has been emitting heat for around five billion years as a
result of the constant nuclear reactions taking place on its surface.
At a moment determined by Allah in the future, these reactions will
eventually come to an end - and the Sun will lose all its energy and
finally go out, extinguished like a light bulb which runs out of
power. In that context, the above verse may be a reference to the
Sun's energy one day coming to an end. (Allah knows the truth.)
The Arabic word"limustaqarrin"in the verse refers to a particular
place or time. The word"tajree"translated as"runs,"bears such meanings
as"to move, to act swiftly, to move about, to flow."It appears from
the meanings of the words that the Sun will continue in its course in
time and space, but that this motion will continue until a specific,
predetermined time. The verse "When the sun is compacted in
blackness,"(Surat at-Takwir, 1) which appears in descriptions of
Doomsday, tells us that such a time will eventually come. Of course,
the specific timing is known only to Allah.
The Arabic word"taqdeeru,"translated as"decree"in the verse, includes
such meanings as"to appoint, to determine the destiny of something, to
measure."By this expression in verse 38 of Surah Ya Sin, we are told
that the life span of the Sun is limited to a period of time ordained
by Allah. Other verses of the Qur'an on the subject read:
Allah is He Who raised up the heavens without any support – you can
see that – and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He made
the Sun and Moon subservient, each running for a specified term. He
directs the whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully
you will be certain about the meeting with your Lord. (Surat ar- Ra'd,
2)
He makes night merge into day and day merge into night, and He has
made the Sun and Moon subservient, each one running until a specified
time. That is Allah, your Lord. The Kingdom is His. Those you call on
besides Him have no power over even the smallest speck. (Surah Fatir,
13)
He created the heavens and the earth with truth. He wraps the night
around the day and wraps the day around the night, and has made the
Sun and Moon subservient, each one running for a specified term. Is He
not indeed the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving? (Surah az-Zumar, 5)
The use of the word"musamman"in the above verses shows that the life
span of the Sun will run for a"specified term."
Scientific analysis regarding the end of the Sun describes it as
consuming four million tons of matter per second, and says thatthe Sun
will die when that fuel has all been consumed. 54The heat and light
emitted from the Sun is the energy released when matter is consumed:
hydrogen nuclei turn into helium in the nuclear fusion process. The
Sun's energy, and its life, will therefore come to an abrupt end once
this fuel has been used up. (Allah knows the truth.) A report titled
"The Death of the Sun" by the BBC News Science Department says:
... The Sun will gradually die. As a star's core crashes inwards, it
eventually becomes hot enough to ignite another of its constituent
atoms, helium. Helium atoms fuse together to form carbon. When the
helium supply runs out, the centre collapses again and the atmosphere
inflates. The Sun isn't massive enough to fully re-ignite its core for
a third time. So it goes on expanding, shedding its atmosphere in a
series of bursts... The dying core eventually forms a white dwarf - a
spherical diamond the size of the Earth, made of carbon and oxygen.
From this point on the Sun will gradually fade away, becoming dimmer
and dimmer until its light is finally snuffed out. 55
PERIODIC TABLE
A documentary, also called "The Death of the Sun," broadcast
byNational Geographic TV, provides the following description:
It (the Sun) generates heat and sustains life on our planet. But like
humans, the Sun has a limited lifespan. As our star ages, it will
become hotter and expand, evaporating all of our oceans and killing
all life on planet Earth... The Sun will get hotter as it ages and
burns fuel faster. Temperatures will increase, eventually wiping out
animal life, evaporating our oceans and killing all plant life... the
Sun will swell and become a red giant star, swallowing up the nearest
planets. Its gravitational pull will lessen and perhaps allow Earth to
escape. By the end, it will shrink into a white dwarf star, emitting a
weak glow for hundreds of billions of years. 56
Scientists have only recently unraveled the structure of the Sun, thus
discovering what goes on inside its burning mass. Before that, nobody
knew how the Sun obtained its energy or how it emitted heat and light.
The way that such a giant mass of energy would one day consume all its
energy and expire was revealed fourteen centuries ago to mankind
through Allah's Final Messenger (pbuh.) Once again, the Qur'an its
credentials as a source of sublime knowledge. That knowledge belongs
to our Lord, Whose knowledge enfolds all things. It is revealed in
another verse of the Qur'an thus:
... My Lord encompasses all things in His knowledge so will you not
pay heed? (Surat al-An'am, 80)
