The Noble Qur’an And The Unseen (3/4)
Muhammad Mitwally Ash-Sha`rawy
Emendation of insertions intruded into previous religions
In this way, the Noble Qur’an has unveiled the past to amend the religions that preceded Islam and to show how insertions falsely ascribed to Allah were forced in them.
Furthermore, the Noble Qur’an has drawn the veils screening space to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Recite the noble Qur’anic verse in which The Truth, all praise and glory be to Him, says (what means):
“To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and all that is between them, and all that is under the soil.” (Surah Ta--Ha, 20: 6)
People must pay heed to the Qur’anic Statement of The Truth, all praise and glory be to Him, saying what means, ‘And all that is under the soil,’ because we now have discovered that the treasures buried into the depths of the earth exceed those on its surface.
Thus, Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, informed His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in the Noble Qur’an, that will never be changed or altered till the Day of Resurrection, about what lies in the depths of the earth at a time it was a reality hidden from the whole world. Certainly, a veil shading space, for at the time of the revelation of the Noble Qur’an nobody knew or even imagined that within the earth are enormous treasures to which we should direct our attention.
Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, lifted another veil shading space to His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in the noble Qur’anic verse in which He says:
“Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur’an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. The Romans have been defeated. In the nearer land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.” (Surah Ar-Rum, 30: 1-3)
At the time of the revelation of the Noble Qur’an, the word ‘Adna’ was interpreted (as in the aforementioned translation of the verses) as being nearer the lands of Arabs, then came the geologic maps recently shot through satellites to prove that the region where the final battle was fought near Baitual-Maqdas (Jerusalem) is the lowest region on the entire surface of the earth, exactly as the Arabic word ‘Adna’ literally means: a place situated most low. So, the Noble Qur’an unveiled another hidden reality of space by stating that the region that witnessed the last battle fought between the Romans and the Persians is the lowest region on the entire surface of the earth, a fact we only knew a few years ago.
Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, imparts another miracle of space in the Noble Qur’an. Recite the noble Qur’anic verse in which The Truth, Blessed and Exalted be He, says (what means):
“Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?” (Surah Al-Anbiya’, 21: 30)
Through this verse the Noble Qur’an informs us about the selfsame origin of the heavens and earth and how they were separated.
Maybe we still remember the experiment of man’s landing on the moon and how the scientists dreamt, before finishing the experiment, of finding strange elements on the surface of the moon and how such elements would contain minerals, chemical substances and others items extraordinarily new to the people of the earth. How if they were added to the elements present on earth they would produce substances never known to humanity, and they gave free rein to their fancies about the new discovery that would change the universe. Fantasies soared high and minds were full of dreams, then what happened?
Man landed on the moon and walked on its surface. He brought specimens from the rocks on and under its surface and returned to the earth. Afterwards, the labs started working actively and the results came out: the moon’s surface consists from the same elements of the earth’s surface. Moreover, the components of its rocks are the same as those of the earth.
The journey ended by the distribution of the moon’s rocks on the celebrities visiting the United States of America.
Afterwards, the curtain was dropt on that matter because none of the guests was anxious to get a rock that is already found on the earth and the journeys to the moon ended completely.
In fact, those who landed on the moon served to prove that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. They also proved the Miraculousness of the Noble Qur’an and how the Noble Qur’an told them that truth fourteen centuries ago. Indeed, by their landing on the moon they themselves touched the Qur’anic reality.
We can go on giving examples on how Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, uncovered to His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) the veils screening space. Not only did He, praise be to Him, unveil the unseen realities on the earth but He also unveiled it in the heavens and in the depths of the earth and the seas. These are places that humans knew nothing about; they were even unknown worlds to them, then Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, willed to reveal to mankind from His Knowledge what made part of the Unseen a palpable reality.
