One
of the Quranic miracles regarding historical science is that it talked
about civilizations no one knew about during the time of the Quranic
revelation. These civilizations, which were discovered recently, exactly
match the description in Allah’s almighty book….
There
is something the Quran mentions but no one knew about it during the
period of the Quranic revelation which is the existence of the “Thamud”
civilization which was corrupted, so Allah (SWT) destroyed it. This
civilization was characterized by carving houses in mountains. This
phenomenon was rare in the Arabian Peninsula. These buildings, that are thousands of years old, were discovered recently. Visualize with me these pictures:
The
miracle in these pictures is that the Quran told us about this
civilization with full accuracy; the people used to build palaces and
carve out homes in the mountains to live in them. Allah almighty said: “And
to Thamud( people, We sent) their brother Salih. He said: “O my people!
Worship Allah! You have no other God but him. None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah. Indeed there has come to you a clear sign from
your Lord. This she-camel of Allah is a sign unto you; so you leave her
to graze in Allah’s earth, and touch her not with harm, lest a painful
torment should seize you* And remember when He made you successors after
Ad (people) and gave you build for yourselves palaces in plains, and carve out homes in the mountains. So remember the graces from Allah, and do not go about making mischief on the earth” [Al-Araf:73-74].
Allah (SWT) also says in another chapter: “Thamud
(people) belied the messenger* when their brother Salih said to them:
“will you not fear Allah and obey him?”* “I am a trustworthy messenger
for you* “So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me* “No reward
do I ask of you for it; my reward is only from the Lord of the Alamin
(mankind, jinn and all that exists)* “Will you be left secure in that
which you have here?* “In gardens and springs* “And green crops and date
palms with soft spadix* And you carve out in the mountains, houses with great skill*
“ So fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me* “And follow not
the command of Al-musrifun ( their leaders who were criminals and
sinners)* “Who make mischief in the land, and reform not”” [Ash-shuara: 141-151].
These outlines are evidences regarding the historical miracles in the noble Quran, and Allah almighty knows best.
