Maybe we have heard of Mohamed and islam in our schools or from the media at some point in our lifes, the part we saw is mostly limited to his life or history, and today i want to share another aspect that dealt with his life.

When Mohamed claimed that he was the last messenger who was sent from God, his people did not believe him, that's why he was given miracles so that he can prove to them he is the messenger. After Mohamed died, there were no other messengers coming after him, so the god made his account by accessing the Quran to Mohamed, the Quran is self-proving book, which means it works as prove for muslims and non-muslims to make them believe that God does exist.
The Quran, which was revealed fourteen centuries ago, mentioned facts only recently discovered or proven by scientists. These are just some of the many scientific facts found in the Quran. It is important to note that the Quran is not a book of science, but that it is consistent with science.


1-Origin of life
The fact that living things consist mostly of water was discovered only after the invention of the microscope, we now know that 80% of the cytoplasm in Animal cell is made of water.
In the deserts of Arabia, the last thing someone would have guessed is that all life came from water.
“We made every living thing from water? will they not believe?”[Quran, 21:30]


2- Sky’s protection
The sky protects the earth from the lethal rays of the sun. If the sky did not exist then the sun’s radiation
would have killed off all life on earth. It also acts like a blanket wrapped around the earth, to protect it
from the freezing cold of space. The temperature just above the sky is approximately -270oC. If this
temperature was to reach earth then the planet would freeze over instantly. The sky also protects life on earth by warming the surface through heat retention.
“We made the sky a protective ceiling. And yet they are turning away from Our signs!” (Quran 21:32)


3- Iron
Iron is not natural to the earth. It did not form on the earth but came down to earth from outer space.
This may sound strange but it’s true. Scientists have found that billions of years ago the earth was stuck
by meteorites. These meteorites were carrying Iron from distant stars which had exploded (M. E.
Walrath, History of the Earth’s Formation)
“We sent down Iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind.” (Quran 57:25)


4- Sun’s orbit
The belief that the Sun is stationary was widespread amongst astronomers until the 20th century. It is
now a well-established scientific fact that the Sun is not stationary, but is moving in an orbit around the
centre of our Milky Way galaxy.
“It is He who created night and day, the sun and the moon, each floating in its orbit.”[Quran, 21:33]


5- Mountains:
A book titled ‘Earth’ by Geophysicist Frank Press (Earth (ISBN 0716717433) by Press, Frank, Siever,
Raymond. W.H. Freeman, c1986.) explains that mountains are like stakes, and are buried deep under
the surface of the earth. Mount Everest, the height of which is approximately 9 km above ground, has a
root deeper than 125 km.
“Did we not make the earth a resting place? and the mountains as stakes?”[Quran, 78:6-7]


6- Universe expanding
The fact that the universe is expanding was discovered in the last century. The physicist Stephen
Hawking in his book ‘A Brief History of Time’ writes, “The discovery that the universe is expanding was
one of the great intellectual revolutions of the 20th century.”
“And it is We who have built the universe with [Our creative] power and keep expanding it.”[ Quran, 51:47]


7- Lying & Movement
First, a book titled ‘Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology’ which includes the results of research on the
functions of this area states: “The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in
the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. The part of the brain that is responsible for
movement is said to be seized if the man does not stop. Secondly, numerous studies have shown that
this same region (frontal lobe) is responsible for the lying function of the brain. One such study at the
University of Pennsylvania in which volunteers were asked questions during a computerized
interrogation, it was found that when the volunteers were lying there was significantly increased activity
in the prefrontal and premotor cortices.
There was a cruel oppressive tribal leader named Abu Jahl who lived during the time of Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Allah revealed a verse of the Quran to warn
him: “No indeed! if he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful
forehead.”[Quran, 96:15-16]. Allah does not call this person a liar, but calls his forehead (the front
part of the brain) ‘lying’ and ‘sinful’, and warns him to stop.


8- Universe
A mobile phone is clearly something that was put together in an organised way, so it would be rational to believe that it must have an organiser. In the same way, when we see the order in the universe
around us, isn’t it rational to say that the universe has an organiser?
“We shall show them our signs in the universe and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth. Is it not enough that your lord is the witness of all things?”[Quran, 41:53]

Thoughts ?

Do you have specific questions?
It seems you've just outlined some information so I'm not sure what direction you want this to go in.

Who is 'we' in the context of these quotes? It says 'He' once, with reference to night and day, but 'we' for the rest.

Yeah, it's important to note that all Arabic grammer is orginated from the Quran.
"We" in arabic can be used to refer to one's self the same way we can use "me" but it's further used to indicate someone who is to be glorified.

Perhaps he just looked into the past, and borrowed some knowledge of the Ancients

The Ancients theories about things in alot of times contained errors that were later studied and proved as facts or either eliminated from books, if he did so(which was proven that he didn't), he would have added the mistakes too which were to be cleared out later. Let away muslims, even non-muslims scholars from different religons tried and couldn't disprove a verse of it, or prove how it was known at such era.
NOTE: Those are only 8 facts out of thousands.

But a mobile phone is organised by a large number of different people; therefore if we follow the analogy, the universe also has not one organiser, but several.

How do you counter this objection? (Note that I am accepting your premise, with which there are other difficulties.)

Good question,
The Mobile phone is mere example burrowed here to explain how everything has(have) creator, and it's used to make the understanding of the verse easier, not as analogy.
The Quran further says:

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.He neither begets nor is born,Nor is there to Him any equivalent." 《Quran 112:1》

But it is not obviously true that everything has to have a creator.

Why would numbers have to be created, for example? They seem to be doing perfectly fine without one.

The creator created, and the creation have made.

The creation doesn't look at what his hands made to know if a creator exists, the creation looks at what was created to know if a creator exists.



The creation looks at himself and what else was created.



The creation acknowledges he was created.



The creation asks why he was created?



The creator gives reasosns and proofs.



The creations acccepts/denys.

The creation seeks reasons and proofs from other sources.

The creation finds none.

The creation acknowledges he is wrong.

The creation seeks mercy and salvation from the creator.

The creator gives his mercy and salvation to the creation that admitted his wrongness.

The creator Forgives
(If not too late ..)

Don't make me go all sciency on ya...

https://www.britannica.com/science/abiogenesis

Abiogenesis, the idea that life arose from nonlife more than 3.5 billion years ago on Earth. Abiogenesis proposes that the first life-forms generated were very simple and through a gradual process became increasingly complex. Biogenesis, in which life is derived from the reproduction of other life, was presumably preceded by abiogenesis, which became impossible once Earth’s atmosphere assumed its present composition./QUOTE]
 
whatever scientific facts mentioned in the Quran, 80% was proven to be true by established science currently, the left 20% was neither proven to be true nor false not even a single verse of it could be disproved when we use science as measure(e.g: heaven and hell), so it is a logical believe that those 20 percent will be true as well, at least it gives some logical base to my belief.
Quran supports the idea that human is made of non-living matters as well say that adam was the first human, does this contradict with what you have posted?

You're talking about a book of faith being interpreted as a book of science. If its scientific interpretation dominates, you cannot invoke theological arguments.

Also as a couple of examples, the quran talks about meteors being stars shot at devils, implies earth is flat, and embryo's originating from semen. As for theology, it furthermore states christians worship the Virgin Mary as part of the trinity, which is a misconception.

But hey, everyone is entitled to his or her own beliefs.

And what non-living matters would that be, if I may ask? Isn't it in contradiction stating that Adam was the first human as he is after all a living being?
How did Adam came to life according to the Quran? Can you name a couple scientific facts from the Quran?
