Hazrat Muhammad(pbuh) – The Preceptor Of Love
THE Holy Qur'an and the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) areexplicit ratifications of the latter's unique and exalted status amongst theentire mankind. Since many a people follow no religion or a religion otherthan Islam, an explanation based on scientific discoveries supported byQur'an and Prophet's life will be more easy, more convincing and morelogical for them.I have tried, here in this write-up, to uphold Prophet Mohammad's positionas the most revered apostle of Allah, on this planet, through common,non-religious and scientific perspective, since non-believers may find itdifficult to accept only Qur'anic testimonies willingly.Science basically deals with the matter and its variable characteristics indifferent circumstances and while in contact with different solids, liquidsand gases.The results not only enhance man's knowledge but leave him awe-struck attimes, but it is a fact that Divine revelation is the re-affirmation of thefact that celestial knowledge is the most appropriate tool for guidinginherently the limited human intellect.That's why Allah despite giving senses and brain to man has regularly, atintervals, selected/appointed his messengers, from the very same people, whowere taught by divine revelations and given knowledge about the man'sphysical relation to soul and that of soul's relation to the Almighty andwarning about accountability of performance in this world, in terms of goodor bad.Prophet Muhammad was chosen as the last Messenger of Allah; therefore, histeachings based on revelations sent down to him shall stand true and finalfor all human beings till the day of resurrection.Mankind is the superb creation of Allah. The whole universe is so diligentlydesigned that it supports the survival and existence of life and itsnecessaries. A question can be asked: "What would happen if the rotationaxis of the earth is changed"? Scientists believe it is impossible but aclose encounter with another body of a planet size can do it and it willcreate tectonic upheavals. The surface of the earth would become molten. Onewould possibly survive it and the biosphere+atmosphere would betransfigured. The only survivors would be bacteria.The Qur'an says: "You will not find any disorder or haphazardness in thecreations of Allah, e.g.: you look at the sky and look at it again andagain, you will not find any rifts on on its surface or at the end. (67:3)The lightning and thunder during rainy season is a common thing to note.Sometimes, it is so strong and loud that one shivers at the thought of itspossible devastation.It is lately learned that every minute there are 1,000 cyclones of variousmagnitudes erupting on the earth and every minute 6,000 lightnings takeplace in the world.The temperature at the source of originating point of lightning rises to54,000 F, which is approximately five times more than temperature of thesun.And the lightning path is naturally to the ground and it needs the nearestpoint i.e. the highest structure to reach the ground, but the cloudsconditions are so designed by nature that most of the time the lightningdissipates in the clouds only and once in a while out of 6,000 times ofdaily lightening, it strikes the earth or some structure on the earth. Wejust think it as normal but it is not. It is the part of system that isrunning for the survival of mankind on the earth.The Qur'an says: "He it is Who has made the earth subservient to you ( i.e.easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it); so walk in thepath thereof and eat of His provision. And to Him will be the Resurrection.And: "Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will notcause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake?" (67:15-16)So fine and delicate an adjustment is not a mere coincidence.Earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides and volcanoes are all fine examples forthe believers in the powers of Allah's grip on everything and they dorighteous deeds and always ask His forgiveness for mistakes and reward ofparadise in return.The Qur'an says: "Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); andhas opened roads (ways and paths) for you therein, and has sent down water(rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds ofvegetation. eat and pasture your cattle (therein); verily, in this are Ayat(proofs and signs) for men of understanding. (20-53-54).At another place, the Qur'an says : "Allah ahs made the Ka'bah, the SacredHouse, an asylum for security and benefits (e,g. Haj and Umrah) formankind..." (5-97)Further, *if we draw a circle with a diameter of 8,039 km, its center willbe Makkah, covering old continents with slight margins. If the diameter ismade 13,300 km, then Makkah also becomes the center for new continents,covering Australia, North and South America. Thus, the Ka'bah, the epicenterof Muslim worship, in Makkah falls exactly in the center point of arid landof the Earth. (It is an established fact that cannot merely be acoincidence). ** **Compiled from various sources.** *
