LagosShia:

This thread is created specially to present evidence in the Quran,that this special book is divinely inspired and to show the knowledge of the unseen presented by God and what was unknown to man.

the Quran irself promises us that as time goes,we would see the signs in the horizons and in ourselves that it is truely a book sent by God.

The Holy Quran 41:53
We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur'ân) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?[/b]

i will start by providing NASA images as described by Quranic verses taken from outer space that demonstrate the truthfulness of the holy Quran.

And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh ROSY LIKE PAINT - (The Noble Quran, 55:37)





By the heaven and the Tareq (pulsating) Star (1) - Ah, what will tell thee what the Tareq Star is! (2) - The piercing Star! (3)(Holy Qur'an 86:1-3)

MORE OF IT

Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: ‘Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly.’ They said: ‘We do come (together), in willing obedience’ . . .(41:11)
The important points to remember as pointed out by are: a) the statement of the existence of a gaseous mass with fine particles, for this is how the word 'smoke' (dukan in Arabic) is to be interpreted. Smoke is generally made -up of a gaseous substratum, plus, in more or less stable suspension, fine particles that may belong to solid and even liquid states of matter at high or low temperature; b) The reference to a separation process (fatq) of an primary single mass whose elements were initially fused together (ratq). It is to be noted that in Arabic 'fatq' is the action of breaking, diffusing, separating, and that 'ratq' is the action of fusing or binding together elements to make a homogenous whole. This concept of the separation of a whole into several parts is noted in other passages of the Book with reference to multiple worlds.
Scientists have only very recently confirmed that the universe was indeed, at an early stage, a gaseous mass composed of hydrogen and some helium, a big mass of hot gasses. The Koran is more accurate in describing the gasses as "smoke" rather than the word "mist" or "fog" used frequently by scientists (Rees uses the word "fog" in his book) as the gasses were hot. This smoke or nebula subsequently split up into multiple fragments with very large dimensions and masses, so large indeed, that specialists in astrophysics are able to estimate their mass from 1 to 100 billion times the present mass of the Sun (which is over 300,000 times that of the Earth). These figures give an idea of the large size of the fragments of primary gaseous mass that were to give birth to the galaxies. According to the astrophysicists, the remarkable scenario as being widely believed is that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a highly evolved entity, and an elegant structure that shows both order and complexity, of which our own sun is a member. It is a spiral-disk galaxy, a type very common in the cosmos. It is supposed that it began from vast quantities of gas from the Big Bang explosion collapsing through gravitational attraction of the molecules in the gas. The end product is especially remarkable in the light of what is believed to be the starting point: nebulous blobs of gas. What about individual stars? The standard guess is that the first stars, called Population III, were formed only of hydrogen and helium. Later stars with heavier elements were supposedly generated when these first stars collapsed, forming heavier elements in their heated interiors which then traversed space to eventually coalesce enough to form new suns. In short, a high degree of knowledge concerning the general process involved in the formation of the solar system may be summarized as: condensation and contraction of a rotating gaseous mass, splitting up into fragments that leave the Sun. and planets in their places, among them the Earth.
The first verse of the first sura in the Qur'an proclaims, after the opening invocation, the following:
‘In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful’, ‘Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.’ The terms 'worlds' reappears dozens of times in the Qur'an. The Heavens are referred to as multiple as well, not only on account of their plural form, but also because of their symbolic numerical quantity 7. This number is used 24 times throughout the Qur'an for various numerical quantities. It often carries the meaning of 'many' although we do not know exactly why this meaning of the figure was used. The Greeks and Romans also seem to have used the number 7 to mean an undefined idea of plurality. Apart from the Qur'an, we often find the number 7 meaning plurality in texts from the Prophet Muhammad's time, or from the first centuries following him, which record his words (hadiths). Thus in the Qur'an, the number 7 referred to the Heavens (samawat) mean innumerable celestial worlds:
(God) is the One Who created for you all that is on the earth. Moreover He turned to the heaven and fashioned seven heavens with harmony. He is full of Knowledge of all things (29:2) And We have made, above you, seven tracts. We have never been unmindful of the Creation (23:17) (God) is the One Who created seven heavens one above another. Thou can see no fault in the creation of the Beneficent. Turn the vision again! Can thou see any flaw? (67:3) Did you see how God created seven heavens one above another and made the moon a light therein and made the sun a lamp? (71:15-16).
<>It is to be noted that while the Bible calls both Moon and Sun 'lights', here, as always in the Qur'an, they are differently named; the first is called 'Light' (nur) and the second is compared in this verse to a 'lamp (siraj) producing light'.
We have built above you seven strong (heavens) and placed a blazing lamp. (78:12)
Here the blazing lamp is the Sun.
There are, therefore, many Heavens and Earths, and it comes as no small surprise to the reader of the Qur'an to find that earths such as our own may be found in the Universe, a fact that has been predicted in the Quran but not explored or verified as yet by the astrophysicists of our time. For though much has been learnt about the great Universe, of which our earth forms a part so tiny and insignificant, there remains, as the astrophysicists themselves admit, much to be discovered. However, the knowledge that science has gained on the primary nebula and the way it split up into an incommensurable quantity of stars grouped into galaxies leaves absolutely no doubt as to the legitimacy of a concept of the plurality of worlds.
God is the One Who created seven heavens and of the earth (ard) a similar number. The Command descends among them so that you know that God has power over all things and comprehends all things in His knowledge (65:12)
Apart from things in the Heavens and on the Earth, several verses of the Holy Quran also refer to the things between the Heavens and the Earth. Here are some instances:
To Him (God) belongs what is in the heavens, on earth, between them and beneath the soil (20:6)
. . . the One Who created the heavens, the earth and what is between them in six Days (25:59)
God is the One Who created the heavens, the earth and what is between them in six Days (32:4)
This Creation outside the Heavens and outside the Earth, mentioned several times, is not so difficult to imagine. To understand these verses, reference must be made to the most recent human observations on the existence of cosmic extra-galactic material and one must indeed go back to ideas established by contemporary science on the formation of the Universe, starting with the simplest and proceeding to the most complex. When it is stated that God created the heavens, the earth and what is between them in six Days, one should not reckon these days as our days on the earth.
CREATION OF THE SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE AND UNSEEN WORLDS
God is also creator of the spiritual world which is invisible and may be subdivided into several kinds: the worlds of Lahut and Jabrut (worlds of God’s nature and attributes) and the malakut, i.e., the world of angles, spirits and many other things. Besides, He is also created Jinns out of fire. There is diversity of opinion about the nature of angels. Ancient philosophers call them pure essence. The Muslims believe that their bodies are so fine and subtle that they cannot be perceived by our senses. They can, however, appear before or disappear from us whenever they like. Their subtlety enables them to travel from east to west in the twinkling of an eye. Besides the spirits and angels there are also Jinns who have been created out of fire and are also hidden from our eyes.
And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke (55:15)
Jinns had been created by God much earlier before mankind but both of them are endowed with the same purpose and that is adoration of God.
I have created Jinns and men only that they might worship Me (51:56).
And it is interesting to note that in the one and only Surah ‘Rahman’ (The Beneficient) both men and Jinns have been jointly addressed by God with the following burden that is repeated
Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny?
The mystery of invisible creatures has always bewildered our imagination. Even the Satan (the Devil) who had refused to conform the orders of God on the eve of Adam’s creation has been forever out of sight and is empowered to see us adroitly anywhere at any moment under all circumstances.
O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as he got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those who are without faith (7:27)
Is it possible? Yes, of course. Since about 30 years, a phenomenon, whose origin is still unknown and which is called "cosmic rays", keeps a mystery. The cosmic rays of high energy are particles coming from somewhere in the universe and producing a great shower of particles (pions, kaons, muons, electrons, neutrinos, photons, ) when collision is with the atoms of our atmosphere. While many subatomic particles, or particles that make up atoms, can only penetrate into objects a very small distance, neutrinos easily pass through an object as large as Earth. Almost all the neutrinos that reach Earth pass right through the planet. Billions of neutrinos pass through every human body every second. Some physicists think that neutrinos could be high-energy cosmic particles. But from where and how do they acquire such energy? Mystery is still open. Many astronomers believe that as much as 90 percent of the matter in the universe is dark matter (matter that does not emit light and is, therefore, invisible). Some scientists think dark matter may be exotic particles that do not consist of the atoms making up ordinary matter, as we know it. Dark matter currently cannot be observed directly, and is only detectable through its gravitational effects on visible bodies, such as the vast collections of stars known as galaxies. In some sense, this situation recalls our puzzling predicament on Earth. Today, as we have done for centuries, we gaze into the night sky from our planetary platform and wonder where we are in this cavernous cosmos. Flecks of light provide some clues about great objects in space. And what we do discern about their motions and apparent shadows tells us that there is much more that we cannot yet see as some dark matter, invisible, is orbiting around and inside the galaxies.
Moreover, a new theory for the origin of the Universe is intriguing astronomers with the idea that a "Big Splat" preceded the Big Bang. It proposes that there may be an unseen parallel universe to ours. The idea, which is still at the development stage, may provide hints about what happened before our Universe exploded into existence some 15 billion years ago. The theory has been outlined in the past few days at the University of Cambridge in the UK and the Space Telescope Science Institute in the US.
The dual nature of light seems puzzling because we have no everyday experience with wave-particle duality. Waves are everyday phenomena; we are all familiar with waves on a body of water or on a vibrating rope. Particles, too, are everyday objects—baseballs, cars, buildings, and even people can be thought of as particles. But to our senses, there are no everyday objects that are both waves and particles. Scientists increasingly find that the rules that apply to the world we see are only approximations of the rules that govern the unseen world of light and subatomic particles.
The fact that in relation to the existing things, the human beings are just like a person imprisoned in a fortress tower which has, except a few peepholes, no outlet at all. He an see through these peep-holes a river’s flowing eastward, mountains towards west, a palace towards north and a play ground towards south. In this parable the prisoner is a human being, the fortress his body and the peepholes his senses. Through the senses, he can see the colors, perceive the smell, taste the eatables, hear the sounds and feel the existence of bodies through touch. It may, however, be asked, “Is it possible to have of everything in the world?” In the parable just mentioned, the prisoner, when he looks through the peepholes cannot see anything except a small section of the river. Similarly, he can see and assimilate only a few of the colors. He cannot see the huge garden existing between the river and the mountain for the walls of the tower have no other peephole through which he could peep through. Is it justified to deny its existence simply because he does not see it. I don’t see an ant moving at a distance of three miles but it is there. There are millions of germs present in the air or in a glass full of clear water but they are invisible to me. I can see neither the atom nor the electrons revolving in its nucleus like planets in the space. Neither can I stare at the sun (for its brightness is dangerous and blinding to my naked and unshielded eye) nor 4,700,000 horsepowers of energy falling in the form of sunshine continually upon every square-mile of the earth’s surface. The sounds that an ant produces are not audible to me for the ear is receptive only to vibrations with a frequency ranging from five to twenty thousand cycles per second. The vibrations with lesser energy are not audible to me and those with bigger energy will deafen me forever.
Let us see the certainty of the unseen world from another angle. Where are we during sleep? We know for certain we are not dead, yet we certainly are dead, dead as a doornail, to this world. We are oblivious even to our own bodies. Though we do live in the familiar three-dimensional world, yet actually, we must be living in some other world, possibly of four or more dimensions, which is inaccessible and invisible to us while we are awake and conscious; which is to say in the time world. What we experience in our dreams or what our dreams relate a peculiar characteristic is that our ideas of time are confused, wild and wooly just because in the dream world, our consciousness seems free to roam and we traverse thousands of miles on foot within an hour; it does not move on relentlessly at the same fixed fate as when we are awake. Moving in some unknown dimensions, there are incidents of which we dream but these occur to our great surprise in our real life later on. Does this fact not prove an outer world of four and more dimensions that can ever be revealed to the human mind? Here is a thought-provoking verse of the Holy Quran:
It is God that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes their souls) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed; Verily therein are Signs for those who reflect. (39:42)
Dark matter is not readily visible because it neither emits nor reflects electromagnetic radiation, such as light or radio signals. Dark matter can only be detected indirectly, e.g., through the bending of light rays from distant stars by its gravity. It may consist of dust, planets, intergalactic gas formed of ordinary matter, or anything else that is not within our reach. Observations of visible matter, the only kind we can see directly, suggest that almost 90 % of the universe is, in fact, composed of dark matter. This conclusion comes mainly from the belief that something unseen (dark matter) is tugging on visible matter, making it do things the laws of motion say it should not do. All visible bodies, therefore, seem to be careening about in a dense cloud of unseen, unknown masses. These might be dark, Jupiter-sized objects, black holes, and/or some exotic forms of matter. We must choose between the realities of dark matter or admit that something is awry with our laws of gravitation and motion when they are applied on a cosmological scale.
Thus in the light of the above findings and probes the reality of all the unseen creatures like soul, angels, spirits, ghosts, Jinns and Satan is neither impossible nor incredible.
Coming back to the basic ideas on the Creation of the Universe taken from the Holy Quran and found to be accurate in the light of modern scientific data, it is not irrelevant to make a mention that the existence of an enormous difference between the Biblical description and the data in the Qur'an concerning the Creation refutes the totally gratuitous accusations leveled against Muhammad since the beginnings of Islam to the effect that he copied the Biblical descriptions. As far as the Creation is concerned, this accusation is totally unfounded. How could a man living fourteen hundred years ago have made corrections to the existing description to such an extent that he eliminated scientifically inaccurate material and, on his own initiative, made statements that science has been able to verify only in the present day? This hypothesis is completely untenable as the description of the Creation given in the Quran is quite different from the one in the Bible.
In short, Al-Qur'an is full of reflections on the Heavens indicating the plurality of the Heavens and Earths and an intermediary creation 'between the Heavens and the Earth', that has been duly verified by the modern science. Here are some instances:
Do they not look at the sky above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and there are no rifts in it (50:6) (God) created the heavens without any pillars that you can see, (31:10) God is the One Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see, then He firmly established Himself on the throne and He subjected the sun and moon (to his Law)! Each one runs (its course) for a term appointed. He doth regulate all affairs, explaining the signs in detail, that ye may believe with certainty in the meeting with your Lord (13:2).
These two verses refute the belief that the vault of the heavens was held up by pillars, the only things preventing the former from crushing the earth.

Ibime:

The pastor should shaaarrrrraaaaaaap!!!

Its not about religion, but about a certain section of the country who wanna remain Lord forever.

The most muslim of them all, Buhari himself was prolly the best preso we've had.

Yes. support

O lord have mercy. how do muslim,president, self discipline colocate. I have pastor as a neighbor who is very NICE and d one wit BAD behavior.
To be able to comprehend islam as a religion. more and more knowledge is required. There is a capital difference btween islam and being a muslim.
TOTAL SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD translates into Islam and for anybody who decides to attach evil to islam, that person has been mis-educated and needs to de- educated, re-educated to be properly educated.
All that is required is re-packaging/rebranding as  it is always proclaimed by Prof Akunyinli. Anybody can rule this country. it all depends on individual personality. Go to Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Saudi never produced any primary product but yet they are living comfortable and the funniest part is that the country is being control by Sharia Law. They have one of d best GDP and PER CAPITAL INCOME in the world. They are also prodominantly muslim.
We need knowledge and awareness in this our time to make it. True information transforms and deficit information deforms. Let build a home where religious and tribalism would not halt our progress but contribute to our developments.

furacao:

Too much money.

How much? In Nigeria?

Congrats! but what took him so long before he could listen to them

redsun:

Herbs give dem a better spiritual elevation. I rather listen to a pastor that smokes weed than d one that doesn't.

maybe

true infomation transforms and deficit information deforms.
compartibility in love is d real ultimate

May be the man might have been "derailed" or hacked by Obasanjo government, who knows.
Imaging a senator receiving 75M quarterly and buying a torch light for 18K in house of Rep.
He thought self liberation would end his panacea. What I strongly know is that we Nigerians are not
mistaken to be on this earth but a big mistake to be in Nigeria.

any help from u pls. I used to have rashes and blemishes on my face only. I went to doctor but prescribed NIZORAL SHAMPOO.
It worked but what i noticed was dat anytime it finishes d rashes comes back, I then discorverd maybe it comes from blood. please any help on any drug to use to cure this. cheers and Godbless.

pls is sombody there to assist on how to quote somebody's statement
I have tried all my efforts but to no avail. thanks

Lol.
kindly assist me wit d code number and other settings required in configuring Glo, Etisalat, Mtn and Zain for browsing.
thanks NLders.
