Perkhabaran mengenai kemenangan Rom ke atas Parsi

Berita kemenangan tersebut telah dinyatakan dalam surah Rum ayat 1-6 yang maksudnya :

“Alif Lam Mim, telah dikalahkan bangsa Romawi, di negeri yang terdekat dan mereka sesudah dikalahkan akan menang, dalam beberapa tahun lagi. Bagi Allahlah urusan sebelum dan sesudah (mereka menang) dan di hari (kemenangan bangsa Romawi) itu bergembiralah orang-orang yang beriman. Dengan kemenangan yang diberi oleh Allah, ia memberi kemenangan kepada sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan Dialah jua yang Maha Kuasa lagi Maha Mengasihani. Demikianlah dijanjikan Allah, Allah tidak pernah mengubah janjiNya, akan tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahui (hakikat yang sebenarnya)”.

Dalam satu peperangan, tentera Rom telah dikalahkan oleh tentera Parsi. Peristiwa ini telah menyebabkan kaum Musyrikin Mekah bergembira kerana menganggap kemenangan tersebut adalah kemenangan mereka juga. Sebaliknya kaum Muslimin berdukacita kerana merasakan bahawa keimanan telah dikalahkan. Ini kerana orang-orang Rom adalah ahli kitab manakala orang-orang Parsi adalah orang Majusi penyembah api.

Kemudian turun ayat tersebut yang menerangkan bahawa meskipun orang-orang Rom telah tewas tetapi mereka akan menang dalam beberapa tahun lagi. Maka kaum Muslimin kembali gembira apabila mendengar perkhabaran ini dan kira-kira sembilan tahun kemudian, Rom telah berjaya mengalahkan Parsi. Maka terbuktilah kebenaran perkhabaran yang diceritakan oleh Al-Qur’an.

Surah Rum Prophecies: Defeat & Victory Of Romans

٢ غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ

٣ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ

٤ فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ ۗ لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ ۚ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

Alif, Lam, Meem. The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land; and they, after their defeat, will overcome. Within a few years. To Allah belonged the matter before and (to Him it belongs) thereafter. And on that day the believers will rejoice. Surah Rum 30:1-4

Historical Background
Romans Scroll
The Surah starts with a precise prediction that although the Romans have been defeated, but within a few years, they will again become victorious. The Surah here is referring to the Byzantine-Sassanid War of 602–628. When Emperor Maurice was killed by the usurper Phocas, Khosrau II waged war to revenge his death. Although the Persians were victorious during the first stages of the war, capturing much of the Egypt, Levant and even Anatolia. However, the coming to power of Heraclius ultimately drove to the Persians downfall.

Persian FighterBut on the face of it, the initial defeat of the Romans (Byzantine Empire) had much impact on Arabia. In those days in Mecca everywhere was the talk of this matter. There were no fast and speedy ways of communication those days but as this was not a small war but a war that lasted for many years thus by people traveling in trade caravans all the matter spread. These were the days when Prophet Muhammad and his early followers were under severe persecution, and few of them took refuge in the nearby country of Abyssinia which was a Christian country and an ally of Romans. So Meccans take this victory as a way to mock and ridicule Muslims that just as the People of Book who believe in God were defeated by Persians same, you were also come to your end by our hands and also that now soon they will get their brats back who were in refuge in Abassinya.

Quran Miracle: Six Prophecies, Predictions and Scientific Facts
Book with Surah Rum Name
So this Surah actually gives six facts, miracles and predictions which fulfilled in a time span of 10-12 years. First is that Romans will be back and defeat their opponent which fulfilled starting from 623 AD with the initial victories of Romans and ends with the final defeat of Persians in the battle of Nineveh in 627AD. Second is “فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ” that is “in the nearer land” which actually proved right as these events happened in the regions much nearer to the region of Arabia. This word also includes another Miracle which you can see in “Miracle of Surah Rum: The Lowest Part of Earth” where you will come to know that in Arabic the literal meaning of أَدْنَى is low/ lowest and this battle where Romans were defeated happened in the regions of Dead Sea which we now come to know that it is the lowest region in the whole world (415 M below sea level).

Prediction Of Mecca Conquest
Mecca Kaaba
The other thing in verse is that Muslims will be happy that day: it is fulfilled by the rejoicing of Muslims on seeing the Quran’s claim and prediction coming true and their opponent’s claims turning wrong. Fourth: the same time Muslims won their first battle of Badr in 623AD at the start of Romans victories and then in 628AD Muslims conquered Mecca after Romans decisively defeated Persians in the battle of Nineveh in 627AD.

Miracle Of Universal Application
Lowest Places on Earth
Fifth if we consider the entire Universe, even then these verses should prove right in the same way. The only thing that comes in mind immediately is whether this planet Earth fulfills the verdict of verse 2 of this Surah. For this it should pass the test of both the meanings that the word “أَدْنَى” has within it. Now as for the first meaning of أَدْنَى “Nearest,” for us humans, this planet Earth is and always be the nearest place because it is our birthplace. Now for the second meaning “Lowest” we need to understand again that on macro scale on this Universe everything is relative and because we humans beings have originated on planet Earth and from here wherever we see or go in this Universe mathematically our starting and zero point will be this Earth which numerically is the lowest as compared to the destination where we would reach. Animation Of UniverseFurther, this is the place which as our birth place is under our feet and the lowest while all other places are far and above when we see from the Earth. Lastly, as per Holy scriptures like Bible and Quran, we live in a Universe which exists in the first heaven while there are other Heavens which are called second, third and as per Quran seven heavens. The remaining six heavens are above us thus the lowest point also if we consider all the world/ universes as per Holy scriptures as well as modern science.

Fulfillment Of Prophecy Even By Change Of Qiraat Of Quran
Book With Different Pages opening
Sixth there are some issues among Muslims regarding Seven Ahroof of Quran or “Multiple Qiraat” of Quran. According to which there are variances of Quran due to differences in accents of Arabic language and because of this some scholars claimed of varied readings in these verses of Surah Rum. They tell us that some read غَلَبَتِ instead of the usual غُلِبَتِ, and سَيُغْلَبُونَ instead of سَيَغْلِبُونَ. Now Arabic is a strange language, and only because of these slight changes in dialect marks these words have opposite meanings. As غُلِبَتِ is (have been defeated) while غَلَبَتِ would be (Overcame/victorious i.e opposite of defeat) similarly سَيَغْلِبُونَ is (will overcome) while سَيُغْلَبُونَ would be (Will be overcome i.e will be defeated)

The new meaning of verses is now like this:

“The Romans have conquered and are victorious in the nearest land, and they will be defeated in a small number of years.

Roman King
Even if this is the meaning, the miracle of Quran is that the verses do not loose meaning and foretelling of future as in this case even by change of vowels both meanings have proved right by history as now in this case the first part is actually mentioning the victory of Romans and defeat of Persians in 627AD and then history proves that soon after their victory over Persians within few years, Romans got defeated by Muslims.

DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE IMPORTANT WORDS USED IS GIVEN BELOW
أَدْنَى
The second word of verse 30:3 is a masculine singular noun and is in the genitive case مجرور. The noun’s root is (د ن و). This root occurs 133 times in the Quran, in five derived forms.

N – genitive masculine singular noun اسم مجرور

(د ن و): “Dana” = “Dani” He was or became weak, contemptible low, ignoble; bad or foul; not profitable to anyone/ “Dan” means nearer/close/draw or hanging low or draw close as in 33:59/nearest or lowest as in 30:2. 53:8, Former, first and foremost, low/inferior/worse/veil/ Closer or More Appropriate as in 4:3/ “Adna” Nearer and nearest, opposed to “Aqsa”, Former, first and foremost, More nearer or suitable as in 33:59, less in number or quantity and least there i n, worse; worst; more and most low, ignoble, base, vile mean or weak/ “Duniya” is feminine of “Adna”; Nearer etc.; Within reach, Present life or world.

غُلِبَتِ
The first word of verse 30:2 is a passive perfect verb فعل ماض. The verb is third person feminine singular. The verb’s root is (غ ل ب). This root occurs 31 times in the Quran, in five derived forms.

V – 3rd person feminine singular passive perfect verb فعل ماض مبني للمجهول

(غ ل ب): The act of overcoming, conquering, subduing; victory, conquest, ascendancy, mastery, prevalence, predominance, superiority or superior power, force or influence; success in a contest; the act of gaining or taking by force/ “Al Aghlab” The Lion. Maghlûbun مغلوب : One who is overcome by somebody.

Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa menciptakan segala sesuatu yang ada di dunia ini serba berpasang-pasangan. Ada laki-laki, ada pula perempuan. Ada malam ada siang, hitam dan putih, gelap-t
erang, panjang-pendek, jauh-dekat, rendah-tinggi, serta lainnya.

Laut Mati (Dead Sea) merupakan laut yang paling rendah di dunia. Kadar garamnya sangat tinggi.

Nah, salah satu tempat yang disebutkan Allah dalam Alquran adalah tempat atau negeri yang paling rendah di dunia. Tahukah Anda, apakah tempat atau negeri yang paling rendah di dunia ini?

Perhatikan surah Ar-Rum [30] ayat 2-3.“Telah dikalahkan bangsa Romawi, di negeri yang terdekat (Adna al-Ardhi), dan mereka sesudah dikalahkan itu akan menang.” Memang dalam ayat itu disebutkan kata ‘negeri terdekat’, maksudnya terdekat dengan Makkah. Dalam bahasa Arab, ungkapanAdna al-Ardhi, diartikan sebagai tempat yang dekat.

Dan sebagaimana disebutkan dalam berbagai buku sejarah, termasuk Syauqi Abu Khalil dalam Atlas Al-Qur’an, yang dimaksud dengan Adna al-Ardhi dari ayat tersebut adalah negeri terdekat. Negeri terdekat itu adalah terdekat dengan Makkah, yakni Syria, Palestina dan Yordania.

Syauqi menyebutkan, negeri terdekat itu adalah dataran rendah Palestina, yang terletak di dekat Laut Mati (Bahirah Luth) yang memiliki tingkat kerendahan 392 meter di bawah permukaan laut. Ada yang menyebutkan kerendahannya mencapai 420 meter.

Dalam kamus, Lisan al-Arab disebutkan, kata al-Adna berarti lebih dekat. Sedangan kata al-adna as-Safil berarti lawan dari tinggi, yakni rendah. Dengan demikian, sepetti dikutip Syauqi, Adna al-Ardli adalah wilayah yang dekat dan berdataran rendah.

Adna al-Ardhi berkata maknanya tidak hanya negeri terdekat, tetapi juga mengandung makna harfiah lainnya. Kata Adna dalam bahasa Arab diambil dari kata Dana, yang berarti rendah dan Ardhun yang berarti bumi. Karena itu, ungkapan Adna al-Ardhi berarti tempat paling rendah di bumi.

Ungkapan diatas dalam beberapa hal merujuk pada tempat ketika Romawi dikalahkan oleh bangsa Persia. Peristiwa itu terjadi di titik yang paling rendah di muka bumi.

Wilayah yang dimaksudkan ini adalah cekungan Laut Mati, yang terletak di titik pertemuan wilayah yang dimiliki oleh Syria, Palestina, dan Jordania. Laut Mati, terletak sdekitar 392 meter di bawah permukaan laut, dan wilayah ini merupakan daerah paling rendah di bumi.

Pengungkapan lokasi atau daerah paling rendah di muka bumi ini, terbilang sungguh menarik dan mengagumkan. Sebab, ketika itu belum ditemukan sebuah alat yang bisa dijadikan patokan untuk mengukur tinggi rendahnya sebuah permukaan. Namun, 14 abad silam, Allah SWT telah menjelaskan hal itu melalui Alquran.

Bahkan, seorang ahli geologi Amerika, Profesor Palmer, sempat meragukan kesahihan Alquran dalam mengungkapkan daerah yang paling rendah di muka bumi.

Ia menyatakan, ada beberapa daerah lain yang lebih rendah daripada yang disebutkan dalam Alquran. Dia memberi contoh nama daerah itu di Eropa dan Amerika Serikat (AS). Namun, setelah mengamati dan meneliti secara seksama, akhirnya dia memastikan dan menyimpulkan, bahwa daerah yang terendah di muka bumi ini adalah Laut Mati. Lihat penjelasan Prof Palmer dalamwww.thisistruth.org tentang The Origin of the Earth.

Kebenaran Alquran dalam mengisahkan alam semesta ini, juga diakui oleh Prof Alfred Kroner, ketua jurusan geologi pada Institut Gesosciences, Universitas Johannes Gutenburg, Mainz, Jerman. (sya-fik)

Miracle In The Use Of Word “أَدْنَى”
Animation Showing Dead Sea as Lowest Point on EarthBut this word also includes another Miracle. In Arabic the literal meaning of أَدْنَى is low/ Lowest and can be near/ nearest. Early Commentators of Quran took it as “in the nearest region because that seems to them more appropriate to understand this verse. But now we know that the region where this war took place is actually the lowest region in the world. Byzantine and Persian Empires went to war and Byzantines suffered defeat when Damascus and Jerusalem both fell to the Persian Empire. This area is near Dead sea which is the lowest point on earth. At over 400 meters below sea level, it is the land area with the lowest elevation. [−430 m (−1,411 ft)], lowest land in Asia and the world 31°30′N 35°30′E.

Ilmu pengetahuan moderen, ilmu astronomi, baik yang berdasarkan pengamatan maupun berupa teori, dengan jelas menunjukkan bahwa pada suatu saat seluruh alam semesta masih berupa ‘gumpalan asap’ (yaitu komposisi gas yang sangat rapat dan tak tembus pandang, The First Three Minutes, a Modern View of the Origin of the Universe, Weinberg, hal. 94-105.). Hal ini merupakan sebuah prinsip yang tak diragukan lagi menurut standar astronomi moderen. Para ilmuwan sekarang dapat melihat pembentukan bintang-bintang baru dari peninggalan ‘gumpalan asap’ semacam itu (lihat gambar 10 dan 11)

Bintang-bintang yang berkilauan yang kita lihat di malam hari, sebagaimana seluruh alam semesta, dulunya berupa materi ‘asap’ semacam itu. Allah telah berfirman di dalam Al Qur’an:

ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ

Kemudian Dia menuju kepada penciptaan langit dan langit itu masih merupakan asap,… (Al Fushshiilat, 41: 11)

Karena bumi dan langit di atasnya (matahari, bulan, bintang, planet, galaksi dan lain-lain) terbentuk dari ‘gumpalan asap’ yang sama, maka dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa matahari dan bumi dahulu merupakan satu kesatuan. Kemudian mereka berpisah dan terbentuk dari ‘asap’ yang homogen ini. Allah telah berfirman:

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا

Dan apakah orang-orang yang kafir tidak mengetahui bahwasanya langit dan bumi itu keduanya dahulu adalah suatu yang padu, kemudian Kami pisahkan antara keduanya. (Al Anbiya, 21:30)

Dr. Alfred Kroner adalah salah satu ahli ilmu bumi terkemuka. Ia adalah Profesor geologi dan Kepala Departemen Geologi pada Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Jerman. Ia berkata: “Jika menilik tempat asal Muhammad… Saya pikir sangat tidak mungkin jika ia bisa mengetahui sesuatu semisal asal mula alam semesta dari materi yang satu, karena para ilmuwan saja baru mengetahui hal ini dalam beberapa tahun yang lalu melalui berbagai cara yang rumit dan dengan teknologi mutakhir. Inilah kenyataannya.” Ia juga berkata: “Seseorang yang tidak mengetahui apapun tentang fisika inti 14 abad yang lalu, menurut saya, tidak akan pernah bisa mengetahui, melalui pemikirannya sendiri, bahwa dulunya bumi dan langit berasal dari hal yang satu.”

Quran Miracle: Correct Description Of Early Universe

Big bang nucleosynthesis tells us that after just one-second old universe was at a temperature of 10 million Kelvin and the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of Smoke and Plasma. Huge gaseous matter or clouds were present before the formation of the galaxies. To describe initial celestial matter, the word smoke is more appropriate than gas. Even now new stars are forming inside dark, cold molecular clouds from Material called Interstellar Medium, which is mostly hydrogen neutral and ionized, helium, dust particles surrounded by frozen water & other stuff like carbon, nitrogen, etc. All that in the heavens all stars and galaxies all have been formed from this same smoke.

Now look that almost 1400 years ago this is what the Quran told us in Surah Fussilat 41:11. The fact that this verse revealed regarding the universe’s initial gaseous state is a miracle.

Quran On Atoms And Subatomic Particles
Evolution Of Atomic Theory
Animation Showing Dissection Of Matter
Although the concept that things are made of small particles is quite old. The first person who gave the idea of the smallest particle was Democritus in 460 BC. He says cut anything until get very small that you cannot cut more. That he called “atomos” In Greek “a” means “Not” and “tomos” means “Cut” i.e indivisible that you cannot cut more. But the concept that things are made of particles so small that they are invisible from us is not very old. In 1897 J.J.Thomson discovered electron then in 1911 Ernest Rutherford presented the idea of nucleus & Basic Model Of atomelectron and after that Neils Bohr gave the model of the atom with a nucleus inside and electron in different orbits. And in 1970 we found that proton and neutron are also not basic fundamental particles but made up of quarks. But whatever latest theories we take like Quantum field theory or The String theory one thing is common that everything we see is composed of things that we cannot see that is they are very very small.

How Small Is An Atom?
Electrons Orbiting around neucleus
Atom is so small that in only one human cell which you cannot see without a microscope there are almost 100 trillion atoms. If you put 500,000 atoms in a row shoulder to shoulder than they only be as wide as the thickness of a human hair. To understand it more if you increase the size of the nucleus to that of a coin, the edge of the atom would be at a distance of 2-3 kilometer.

Nucleus of an atom
So we can clearly see that 200 years ago the human knowledge was that atom is the smallest particle and it is not divisible. Now look almost 1400 years ago Quran not only mentioned about Atoms but also things and particles that are smaller than it.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَا تَأْتِينَا السَّاعَةُ ۖ قُلْ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّي لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ ۖ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا أَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَا أَكْبَرُ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ

But those who disbelieve say, “The Hour will not come to us.” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [Allah is] the Knower of the unseen.” Not absent from Him is an atom’s weight within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register. Surah Saba 34:3

وَمَا تَكُونُ فِي شَأْنٍ وَمَا تَتْلُو مِنْهُ مِنْ قُرْآنٍ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودًا إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْ رَبِّكَ مِنْ مِثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلَا أَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَا أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ

And you are not in any matter or recite any of the Qur’an and you do not do any deed except that We are witness over you when you are involved in it. And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom’s weight within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register. Surah Yunus 10:61

٧ فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ

٨ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it,

And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it. Surah Zilzal 99:7-8

إِنَّ اللَّهَ فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَىٰ ۖ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَمُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ الْحَيِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤْفَكُونَ

Indeed, Allah is the cleaver of grain and date seeds. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living. That is Allah; so how are you deluded? Surah Anam 6:95

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ بَلِ اللَّهُ يُزَكِّي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا

Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who claim sanctity for themselves? Nay-but Allah Doth sanctify whom He pleaseth. But never will they fail to receive justice in the least little thing. Surah Nisa 4:49

وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا

But whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, and is a believer—those will enter Paradise, and will not be wronged a whit. Surah Nisa 4:124

Building Blocks Of This Universe
Animation of a molecule
There are many miracles in words used here in these verses. As we know that in 21st century modern science also pointing us to new theories about the fundamental building blocks of this universe as I clearly explained in my article “Matter is an Illusion” where it is mentioned that matter (particles) is nothing but made up of vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating, each one radiating its own unique energy signature. Or smallest particles are but small tiny strings as in String theory.

Quran Miracle In The Use of 5 Different Words For Atoms & Subatomic Particles
Animation Of Atom’s structure
Now look at these verses, and you can see that there are few words used for smallest particles other than “ذَرَّةٍ” which are “الْحَبِّ”, “النَّوَىٰ” , “فَتِيلًا” , And ‘نَقِيرًا”. The meanings of which are such that it contains all the meanings for the coming generations. That is for the previous human generations these words were giving a sense as per their time, and for us again, these words have the capacity that they give new meaning as per our modern understanding of science. This is what should be a characteristic of a divine revelation that it should be universal, valid for all ages. Arabic is a wonderful and appropriate language for a divine revelation. Below are given the meanings as was understood before and the more appropriate meanings were ignored because people were not able to understand and connect those meanings with the verse. Now just look that the actual meanings of these words which I mark as (New) are miraculous as how they are expressing the modern scientific facts and the miraculous wisdom and knowledge contained in the Holy Quran. String Loop as in string theoryNow, فَتِيلًا can be taken as A twisted rope as in string theory, النَّوَىٰ as the nucleus of an atom which also gives another Miracle as in 6:95 it is mentioned that “النَّوَىٰ” can be cleaved and split which exactly happened recently when we discovered the nuclear energy. Lastly, نَقِيرًا are vibrations of a rope OR vortices of energy as within string theory or as I mentioned in detail in my article “Quantum Field Theory.”

A Single straight string
فَتِيلًا: a thread inside a date seed (Old) / A twisted rope (New)

النَّوَىٰ: date seeds (Old) / Nucleus نواة”. Plural nuclei is نَّوَىٰ” (New)

String vibrating as in string theory
الْحَبِّ: grain (Old) / Nut, Whit, smallest thing (New)

نَقِيرًا: the speck on a date seed (Old) / Sound OR Vibrations of a Rope (New)

Another Miracle: Atomic Weight
Atom proton neutron and electron
Another Miracle is that in the above verses whenever God mentioned the smallest particle “ذَرَّةٍ” ..the word “مِثْقَالَ” is also mentioned before that which means “Weight.” Which is a miracle that now in modern science we measure small particle and elements by their “Atomic Weights” and not by their Size or anything else.

Modern science tells us that human creation in mother’s womb is a very delicate process, and as the Fetus is a fragile thing, it needs much protection. Modern science also tells that this creation happens in the mother’s womb inside protected layers and in stages. Now look what the Quran tells almost 1400 years ago in Surah Zumar Verse 6:

٦ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَأَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَنْعَامِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ ۚ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِنْ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصْرَفُونَ

He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. Such is Allah, your Lord, and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)? Surah Zumar 39:6

Three Veils
Three Veils Of Darkness in Womb
The phrase “فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ” translated into English as “three veils of darkness” points to three dark regions involved during the development of the embryo. Now, these could be either 1-Darkness of the abdomen, 2- Womb/ or Uterus, 3- Amniotic sac/ Placenta/ or Amnio-chorionic membrane. Inside these layers, the Fetus receives all sort of things required for its formation, including nutrition, chemicals, and oxygen, but light cannot reach it just as mentioned in verse 6.

Three Stages
Three Stages Of Embryo
The verse also points out that a human being is created in the mother’s womb in three stages. Which now we come to know by modern biology that the life in the womb of mother has three stages: 1- Pre Embryonic Or Fertilization Stage (10-14 Days), 2- Embryonic(till the end of 8 weeks) and 3- Fetal Stage (From 9th Week till Pregnancy)

Lebah merupakan salah satu di antara tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah yang sangat memesona yang menunjukkan keagungan-Nya.

lebah

Lebah mengeluarkan madu yang sangat lezat dan memiliki banyak manfaat bagi kehidupan manusia.

Allah berfirman,

“Dan, Tuhanmu mewahyukan kepada lebah, ‘Buatlah sarang-sarang di gunung-gunung, di pohon-pohon kayu, dan di tempat-tempat yang dibuat oleh manusia. Kemudian makanlah dari segala macam buah-buahan, lalu tempuhlah jalan Tuhan-mu yang telah dimudahkan bagimu.’ Dari perut lebah itulah dikeluarkan minuman (madu) yang bermacam-macam warnanya; di dalamnya terdapat obat yang menyembuhkan bagi manusia.” (QS An-Nahl: 68-69)

Di dalam Alquran terdapat satu surat bernama An-Nahl, yang berarti lebah. Lebah merupakan serangga yang sangat istimewa.

Lebah mampu memproduksi makanan yang bergizi dan obat untuk berbagai macam penyakit. Kata auha (mewahyukan) pada ayat di atas berarti bahwa Allah telah menciptakan lebah dilengkapi insting atau karakter alamiah yang membuatnya bertingkah laku seperti yang kita lihat.

Para ilmuwan telah menemukan sekitar 12.000 jenis lebah. Sekitar 600 jenis di antaranya hidup secara berkelompok, sementara sisanya hidup secara individual.

Lebah merupakan jenis serangga yang memiliki sistem sosial yang detail dan solid, yang takkan mampu ditiru oleh komunitas sosial manusia yang paling maju sekalipun. Individu-individu lebah hidup secara berkelompok di dalam sarang mereka, seperti komunitas manusia. Setiap kelompok mempunyai tugas tersendiri, seperti kelompok pekerja, kelompok tentara, kelompok pejantan, dan kelompok petelur.

Komunitas lebah terbagi menjadi tiga kelompok, yaitu ratu, pejantan, dan pekerja. Ratu bertugas untuk bertelur. Kelompok pejantan hidup sejahtera dan hanya betugas untuk mengawini lebah ratu guna menghasilkan generasi lebah baru.

Kelompok pekerja adalah lebah betina tetapi mereka mandul. Kelompok pekerja ini bertugas membuat sarang sebagai tempat menyimpan telur, merawat bayi-bayi lebah, dan menyimpan madu.

Selain itu, kelompok lebah pekerja juga bertugas mengumpulkan sari-sari bunga dan mengubahnya menjadi madu. Mereka pun mampu mengubah madu menjadi cairan lilin dengan menggunakan kelenjar khusus.

Ketika jumlah lilin madu telah mencukupi, mereka pun mulai membangun sarang dalam bentuk heksagonal (segienam) yang saling berdampingan. Berbeda dengan cara manusia, lebah menyusun sarang madunya dari atas ke bawah.

Penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa bentuk heksagonal lebih kuat dan lebih efesien karena bentuk ini tidak menyisakan ruang-ruang kosong sebagaimana bentuk lingkaran.

Lebah pekerja menempuh jarak sekitar 7 kilometer guna mendapatkan bunga-bunga yang cocok. Walaupun harus menempuh jarak sejauh itu, mereka tidak pernah tersesat untuk kembali ke sarang mereka seraya membawa serbuk-serbuk sari.

Serbuk sari adalah cairan yang dihasilkan oleh bunga dan mengandung zat gula. Ketika lebah hinggap pada kelopak bunga dia akan mengisap serbuk sari menggunakan lidah dan memasukkannya ke dalam kantong madu. Proses itu dilakukan berulang-ulang sampai kantong itu penuh.

Selama perjalanan pulang, serbuk sari ini akan berubah menjadi madu karena diproses oleh kelenjar khusus di dalam tubuh lebah. Ketika lebah pekerja sampai di sarangnya, ia akan menuangkan madu yang dibawanya ke dalam sel-sel kosong dalam sarang tersebut. Dalam satu musim, satu sarang lebah dapat menghasilkan sekitar 18 kilogram madu.

Kecepatan terbang lebah bisa mencapai lebih dari 65 kilometer per jam. Kecepatan ini hampir setara dengan kecepatan laju mobil.

Saat membawa beban serbuk sari, kecepatan lebah akan berkurang menjadi sekitar 30 kilometer per jam. Namun, jangan lupa bahwa lebah mampu membawa beban serbuk sari sebanyak dua pertiga dari berat badannya.

Untuk menghasilkan satu kilogram madu dibutuhkan penerbangan kira-kira sejauh 400.000 kilometer, atau setara dengan 10 kali putaran mengelilingi bumi di garis khatulistiwa. Dan selama penerbangan itu, terjadi perubahan kimiawi pada serbuk sari.

Pada saat musim bunga, lebah pekerja akan memberikan bawaannya kepada lebah yang lain dalam rangka efisiensi waktu. Lalu, ia segera kembali ke tempat bunga dan memanen sari-sari bunga.
