A Divine scripture was sent down to humanity 14 centuries ago; this sacred book is the Qur'an. From the day of its revelation to the Day of Judgment, it will remain as the last and sole guide for humanity. There are countless proofs that the Qur'an is the word of God. In the first film, scientific miracles of the Qur'an were examined and shown as proof. In this film, we shall continue to look at these scientific miracles that prove that the Qur'an is the revelation of God. We shall see that a great many scientific facts we have only recently been able to establish using modern-day technology, from the layers of the Earth to continental drift, and from the gender of a baby to atomic sub-particles, were revealed in our Book fourteen centuries ago. THE SEPARATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH The Big Bang theory, which the scientific world unanimously accepted in the 20th century, proves that the universe came into being with a giant explosion. One verse of the Qur'an that revealed this fact fourteen hundred years ago reads: Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the Earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not believe? (Surat al-Anbiya': 30) The word "ratq" translated as "sewn together" means "mixed in each, blended" in the Arabic vernacular. The phrase, "We unstitched," is the verb "fataqa" and in Arabic, it implies the tearing apart of a structure of things that are sewn to one another. A very important scientific fact is being described here: "The separation of the heavens and the Earth!" Intriguingly, at the first moments of the Big Bang, the entire matter of the universe collected at one single point. "The heavens and earth," which were not created yet, were within this single point. Then, this point exploded violently, causing its matter to disunite. This is just as is described in the verse. People fourteen centuries ago, of course, possessed no scientific knowledge or technology by which to know that the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the stars and everything they saw or that which was invisible in the skies had initially been united in a single point. THE WELL-GUARDED SKY In the Qur'an, God calls our attention to a very important attribute of the sky: We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away from Our signs. (Surat al-Anbiya': 32) The protective nature of the sky revealed in the Qur'an was only discovered in our own time. The atmosphere surrounding the Earth protects us from lethal dangers. While destroying many meteors -- big and small -- as they approach the Earth, it prevents them from falling to Earth and harming life. It filters the light rays coming from space that are harmful to living things. It also protects the Earth from the freezing cold of the space, which is approximately minus 270 degrees Celsius, or minus 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to the atmosphere, there is another layer, caused by the magnetic field of the Earth, which serves as a shield against the harmful radiation that threatens our planet: The Van Allen Belts! Thanks to the Van Allen belts, the massive outbursts of energy called solar flares that frequently occur in the Sun do not destroy life on Earth. In short, a perfect system is at work high above the Earth. It surrounds our world and protects it against external threats. Strikingly, this was revealed fourteen hundred years ago in the Qur'an. Another verse imparting the same information reads: It is He Who made the Earth a couch for you, and the sky a dome... (Surat al-Baqara: 22) Here, the sky is described as "al-samaa' binaa'" in Arabic. As well as the meaning of "dome" or "ceiling," this word has another meaning; it also describes a kind of tent-like covering used by the Arab Bedouin. By describing the sky as a tent-like structure, the Qur'an is emphasizing that it is a form of protection against external elements. This is the protection the atmosphere affords against meteors and cosmic rays. All these facts show that this information obtained by humanity as the result of lengthy scientific research was imparted fourteen hundred years ago in the Qur'an, when there were no spacecrafts or giant telescopes. THE LAYERS OF THE EARTH The Earth consists of seven strata. The first layer is the hydrosphere, which embodies all the waters on the earth's surface. The second layer, the lithosphere, is a hard stratum forming the Earth's top layer. Its average thickness is 80 kilometers. It is colder and harder than the other strata, and, therefore, forms the Earth's shell. The third layer is the asthenosphere. It is formed of hot, semi-solid meltable substances. The fourth and fifth layers, the upper mantle and the lower mantle respectively, form a high-temperature region some 2,900 km thick, made up of semi-solid rocks
