“DAWAH TO AN ATHEIST”

INTRODUCTION

This article is intended to expose the lies of Dr. Zakir Naik and the errors of Quran . It’s a
sincere effort to show that human progressed a lot more before the advent of Islam . Dr.
Zakir Naik goes to state Quran as the most scientific of all religion but this article is an effort
to expose this false doctor who deludes the gullible audience into believing that Quran is
the true religion . His swiftness and dexterity and ability to memorize is what overwhelms
the crowd and his opponents but if his opponents are superior to him then his deception is
easily detected and instantly removed . In this article Zakir Naik tries to make “Dawah to an
atheist” but this article will show Zakir Naik that if he wants to make “ A Dawah” he must be
smarter than he already is and he needs to try hard . The letters in the blue are written by
me.

(Zakir Naik) All the other human beings, most of them, they are blindly following their
parents, the Christian is a Christian because father is a Christian the person is Hindu because
father is a Hindu .Most of the Muslims are Muslims because their father are Muslims. This is
atheistic thinking, his father his parents maybe religious but he does not believe in the gods
which their parents worship.

Most of the atheist, we realize, have become atheist because they believe in science and
technology. These people think that science has advanced so much we don’t require any
scriptures; we don’t require any religion etc.

Atheist not only believe in science and technology but several other subjects as well such as
history , science , logic , physics , geology , astronomy and anything which can be proven in
scientific terms . These are the type of people who believe in truth no matter even if it hurts
them rather than going barbaric over the concept of God.

(Zakir Naik) The first question I ask an atheist is that suppose there is an equipment , there
is a machinery ,which no one in the world has ever seen before if its brought in front of you
, if its brought in front of an atheist, and if we ask the question to him , that who will be the
first person who will be able to tell you the mechanism of this machinery of this object
what can be his reply? What can he reply? Suppose a machinery who no one in the world
has seen if its brought in front of an atheist and he asked the question who will be the first
person who will tell you the mechanism of this machinery or object . The reply the atheist
will give you is the first person who will tell you the mechanism is the manufacturer. Some
may say the creator , some may say the inventor , some may say the producer, whatever
they say it will be somewhat similar , either they say the creator, the manufacturer, the
producer , the inventor. It will be somewhat similar just keep it at the back of your mind.

For the sake of argument I won’t say much in this statement but only to mention that it is
fallacious . Every machinery when brought in front of anybody has been seen by someone .If
no one in the world has seen the machinery it then outdates the idea , that the inventor
hasn’t seen it as well because Atheist don’t believe in some architect who is beyond this
universe known as “God” . Anyways I will agree for the sake of argument , continue what
you have to say further .

3
(Zakir Naik) Then ask him the next question . How did our universe come into existence?
The atheist will tell us that initially there was a primary nebula then there was a big bang ,
there was a secondary suppression which gave rise to galaxies, the sun , the moon , and the
earth on which we live. This we call as big bang.

This is what “you” call as a big bang because as far as I know Mr. Naik you should have at
least studied about the big bang theory before talking about it. First of all there was no
primary nebula in the first place . It is agreed by scientist that the universe originated from
“singularity” some 13.8 billion years ago not nebula but “singularity” this was a zone of
infinite density and energy and was immensely hot. This primeval “singularity” has been
expanding ever since , There wasn’t an explosion to begin with . The big bang theory is
about expansion not and explosion.

Explosion is a wrong analogy to be used for “ The Big Bang theory” . The galaxies are
moving away from each other as predicted by theory of “General Relativity “ of Albert
Einstein . That means that the space between galaxies is expanding. In the initial big bang
the universe started expanding. Matter and energy already filled the entire point sized
universe. Matter began moving farther apart because the space between the matter was
expanding/ It wasn’t due to a huge explosion which did that because if that was the cause
then in terms of explosion the entire matter that is within the centre of a mass gushes out
to fill the space which is there already , but obviously this is not happening . The matter is
moving away due to the expansion of the universe not due to some huge blast which gave
the matter an outward velocity.

This is how the expansion of the universe happened according to the Big Bang theory
described by the following image:

4
(Zakir Naik) When did you come to know about this creation of the universe.So he will tell
you ,about 30-40 years back the scientists they discovered this . You asking a question but
what you are talking about the big bang is already mentioned in the Koran.

Is that so ?! well that will be a most amazing miracle in the history of humanity ! If that is
mentioned in the Quran , okay tell us Doctor what it actually tells .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Ambia, ch 21 verse 30, which says “Do not the unbelievers see, that the
heavens and the earth were joined together and we closed them asunder” what you are
talking about in the big bang is already mentioned in the Koran 1400 years ago, who could
have mentioned that?

Yes! Who could have mentioned that ridiculously false explanation of the Big bang theory!
Heavens and earth are not separated at all, actually earth is a part of the universe . They
are not separate from each other universe is homogeneous.

(Even if the big bang explanation of Quran is true which its clearly not then it directly
contradicts with the story of creation of Adam and Eve )

(Zakir Naik) So the atheist will say maybe its a fluke.

It’s a big “folly” not a fluke Doctor .

(Zakir Naik) No problem, don’t argue with him you continue. The light of the moon is it its
own light or reflected light? So the atheist will tell us that previously we thought the moon
had its own light , recently we have come to know in science 100-200 years back, we have
come to know that the light of the moon is not its own light but a reflected light, the Koran
mentioned in 1400 years ago, in Surah Furkaan, ch 25, verse- 61 “ Blessed is the who has
placed the constellation the constellation in the sky , and placed there in a lamp a sun
having its own light and moon having reflected light or borrowed light.”

200 years year back ? try 2500 years back when Anaxagoras (500 BC – 428 BC) mention this
that “ Light of the moon is not its own light but a reflect light which it receives from sun” .
He was imprisoned for this statement but now we came to know that its true .

(Zakir Naik) The Arabic word used for moonlight in the Koran is “Munir” or “Noor” meaning
reflected light or borrowed light. Who could have mentioned in the Koran 1400 years ago
that the light of the moon is not its own light but he reflected light which we have come to
know recently.

As for Quran I will paste three of the translation of Quran (by Yusuf Ali , Pickthal and
Shakir) and it says :

071.016
Yusufali: "'And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious)
Lamp?

5
Pickthal: And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?
Shakir: And made the moon there in a light, and made the sun a lamp?

Now where is the reflection ? Dr. Zakir Naik asserts that the Arabic word “Nur “ means
reflection of light , that’s a blatant lie !

The fact is that “Nur” means “light” and that’s all , not any type of reflection of light as Mr.
Naik asserts. A person can check the Arabic dictionary and can look up the meaning of the
word “Nur” not even the translators of Quran mentioned the word “Nur” as reflection of
light . “Al Nur” means “the light” not “the reflection of light” . So here is another lie of Mr.
Naik to fool audience .

The fact is that Quran actually stated what it saw as moon having light , that’s it . Nothing
extra about having reflection et cetera . It just means moon having “light” so there is an
error in Quran because Moon doesn’t have its own light but a light borrowed from Sun .

I am compelled to ask , Who could have mentioned that blatant lie?

(Zakir Naik) The atheist may say your prophet Muhammad (pbuh) may be was an
intelligent man.

Really ? Think again .

(Zakir Naik) Don’t argue with him , continue. The world that we live on , what’s the shape
of this earth on which live? The atheist will tell you it’s spherical. When did we come to
know? So he will tell us, it was 1597, when Sir Francis Drake when he sailed around the
earth that he proved that the earth was spherical.

1597?! Sir Francis Drake died in 1596! How come he sailed around the earth in 1597 ?! Did
he come back to life again like some supernatural creature ? or did Allah raised him from
dead as he promised people ?

Sir Francis Drake was born in February 1540 and died in 27 January 1596 . How come he
sailed around the earth at that time ?!

As for spherical earth , I think Mr. Naik doesn’t know about Pythagoras (6th century BC) he
was among those who said that the earth was spherical not flat even Empedocles (5 th
century BC) had idea that earth was spherical not round . Even Herodetus 431–425 BC and
Plato 427–347 BC had this idea

Aristotle who observed that there are stars in Egypt which are not seen in northerly regions
and this could only happen if the earth was spherical .Aristotle provided physical and
observational logical arguments supporting the idea of a spherical Earth for reasons as
follows :

6
1.Every portion of the Earth tends toward the center until by compression and convergence
they form a sphere

2.Travelers going south see southern constellations rise higher above the horizon;

3.The shadow of Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is round

Erestosthenes (276–194 BC) even measured it using geometry :

He was aware that at noon on the summer solstice or the first day of summer, the Sun in
the city of Syene passed directly overhead. Yet, on the same day in the city of Alexandria --
some 5000 stadia to the north -- vertical objects cast a shadow of 7 degrees. If the Earth
were flat, this observation is hard to understand. Yet if the Earth were round (spherical),
Eratosthenes reasoned, one could use this information to compute the Earth's
circumference. Now if 7 degrees subtends 5,000 stadia, then 360 degrees the
circumference of the Earth equals to just over 250,000 stadia. If 1 stadium was 0.16 km as
we believe, then Eratosthenes obtained a value of 40,000 km for the circumference of the
Earth which is remarkably close to today's accepted value. Thus , using geometry he found
the circumference of the planet earth not through any revealed book .

(Zakir Naik) But the Koran says 1400 years ago, in Surah Naziyaat ch 79, verse 30, “ and
thereafter we had made the earth egg shaped” the Arabic word “Dahaha” one of its
meaning is the earth is an expanse , the other meaning is derived from the Arabic word
duhiya, which means an egg and it doesn’t refer to a normal egg , it refers to an egg of an
ostrich and we know the world is not completely round like a ball but it is geo spherical in
shape , it is flattened from the poles and if you analyze the shape of an egg of an ostrich
that too is geo spherical in shape. Who could have mentioned 1400 years ago that the
shape of the earth is geo spherical. Earth is oblate spheroid not geo spherical like an ostrich
egg .

7
I leave it upto the reader to compare between the shape of the earth and an ostrich’s
egg.Further more , the Arabic word Dahaha means spread or stretched to a wide expanse
not an ostrich egg .

Look at the translations of Quran as proof of (79:30)

Yusuf Ali (79:30) : And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

Pickthall (79:30) : And after that He spread the earth,

Arberry (79:30) : and the earth-after that He spread it out,

Shakir (79:30) : And the earth, He expanded it after that.

Sarwar (79:30) : After this, He spread out the earth,

It was translator Rashad Khalifa’s idea of making earth look like an ostrich egg by saying the
word “da haha” has been derived from word “ dhuiyya” meaning ostrich egg just to cover
up mistakes of Quran,he brought many changes and his work is considered unauthentic and
flawed . No wonder a Muslim killed him for changing the book so much !

Quran gave a view of flat earth not a spherical earth to prove this further here are more
proofs:

Quran chapter number 15 verse number 19 “ And the earth We have spread out (like a
carpet); set thereon Mountains firm and immovable.”

Quran chapter number 78 verse 6 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse

“Allah was sure earth is flat , not spherical .”

(Zakir Naik) Again the atheist may say , you know your prophet maybe super intelligent,
don’t argue with him you can continue.

Would an atheist really ? Not quite.

(Zakir Naik) When I was in school , I had learned that the sun was stationary , it revolved
but did not rotate about its own axis, so the atheist will say , is that mentioned in the
KORAN ? No, that is what I learned in school. And I pass my school in 1982 approximately 12
years back.

The truth is Mr. Naik that sun rotates along with revolving around its barycentre.

(Zakir Naik) I have learned the sun was stationary, did not rotate about its own axis, but the
Koran says in Surah Ambia, ch 21, verse 33 “it is Allah who has created the night and the day
, the sun and the moon , each one travelling in orbit with its own motion” so the Koran says,
that besides the sun revolving it even rotates about its own axis. Who could have mentioned
this in the Koran 1400 years ago?

8
Dr. Zakir Naik asserts that Arabic word “Ysbahun” which describes motion of a moving body
when it refers to a celestial body it means rotating about its own axis , this is again a blatant
lie the Arabic word “ysbahun” means ysbahun actually means swimming or floating .

In order to prove this I will also paste some renowned translations of Quran verse 21:33

Pickthall :They float, each in an orbit.

Yusuf Ali :swim along, each in its rounded course.
Hilali-Khan:each in an orbit floating.
Shakir all :(orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres.
Sher Ali :each gliding along smoothly in its orbit.
Khalifa :each floating in its own orbit.
Arberry: each swimming in a sky.
Palmer: each floating in a sky.

Where exactly did he came up with the word “rotating about its own axis: when it came to
“yasbahun” it’s wrong! Mr. Naik is twisting the meanings of the verses time and again to
prove that Quran is a miracle .

Furthermore this matches the Corpenicus ‘s heliocentric model , to be honest Mr. Naik ,
Aristarchus of Samos (310 Bc – 230 BC) found the correct heliocentric model of the solar
system He was influenced by the Pythagorean Philolaus of Croton, but, in contrast to
Philolaus, he had both identified the central fire with the Sun, as well as put other planets in
correct order from the Sun.

So again there is no miracle in here at all .

(Zakir Naik) And the atheist will be silent. There will be a long pause.

Really ? Think again.

(Zakir Naik) Don’t wait for the reply , you can keep on continuing . today , science tells us
that the universe is expanding , which is mentioned in the Koran 1400 years ago , in Surah
Daariyaat chapter 51, verse 47 the Koran speaks about the water cycle which we learned in
school. It was Sir Bernard Palissy in 1580 who first described the water cycle, how the water
evaporates from the ocean forming the clods moves into the interior fall down as rain, this
water cycle, is spoken about in great detail in the Koran in several verses:

The notion that water is continually circulating from the ocean to the atmosphere to the
land and back again to the ocean has interested scholars through most of recorded history.
In Book 21 of the Iliad, Homer (ca. 810 B.C.) wrote of "the deep-flowing Oceanus, from
which flow all rivers and every sea and all springs and deep wells." Thales (ca. 640 B.C. - ca.
546 B.C.) and Plato (ca. 427 B.C. - 347 B.C.) also alluded to the water cycle when they wrote
that all waters returned by various routes to the sea.

9
Homer and Plato (plato’s work is more detailed) originally wrote about water cycle in an
even greater detail with all stages of the water cycle until was later when scientific
discoveries proved the water cycle proving the work or Homer and Plato as authentic as well

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Ahzumur chapter 39 verse 21

Let us see what doctor is trying to say :

39:21 “Sees thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and leads it through springs
in the earth? Then He causes to grow, therewith, produce of various colours: then it withers;
thou wilt see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble away. Truly, in this, is a
Message of remembrance to men of understanding.”

One doesn’t need to be a scientist to find that rainwater that comes from the sky forms the
spring water . Even primitive man knew that vegetation depends on water and during
draught the springs dry out . what has been stated in Quran is an observable phenomena
which has been noticed by even the primitive man . Only the one who doesn’t understand
the laws of nature thinks there is a miracle in it

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Roomph chapter 30 verse 24

30:42 “And among His Signs, He shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope,
and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily
in that are Signs for those who are wise.”

Quran says lightening is to frighten people and to give them hope , what a great scientific
explanation of lightning but where exactly is science in this ? Then it states the obvious that
rains falls from the sky . It’s a sign for those who are wise ? Not quite it’s a sign for those
who are fools lacking the simplest understanding of natural phenomena , tries to find a
message in everything .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Hijr chapter 15 verse 22,

15:22” And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky,
therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its
stores.”

We send fecundating winds , then cause rain to descend . hmm .. must be a message in this
..I have got a message now , Was there nothing in Quran that no one in the times of
Muhammad knew and what hasn’t been observable by any of the people before him ?

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Mauminoon , chapter 23, verse 18,

23:18 “And We send down water from the sky according to (due) measure, and We cause it
to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).”

10
Due measure ? Some areas in world get flooded due to excessive rain and some areas in the
world doesn’t even receive rainfall enough to irrigate their lands and those lands stay in
draught . To be honest a simple illiterate farmer knows how to irrigate his land better than
Allah.

(hmm Why does Quran has usage of words such as We , him etc . Has anyone else noticed
that Allah is referring to himself in third person , second person etc ? When it’s a word of
god then Allah should refer to himself as “I” but he refers to himself in different forms like
third person , second person and first person plural etc It seems Muhammad forgot that
Quran is supposed to be the word of Allah and Allah should refer to himself in 3 rd person but
then again Muslim believes it’s a perfect word of God without any errors , that’s what is
called blind faith)

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Nor, chapter 24, verse 43

(24:43)Seest thou not that Allah makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together,
then makes them into a heap? - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst. And He
sends down from the sky mountain masses (of clouds) wherein is hail: He strikes therewith
whom He pleases and He turns it away from whom He pleases, the vivid flash of His
lightning well-nigh blinds the sight.

There is nothing in this verse which makes it seems divine , observable phenomena like
these were known to people long before Quran or Muhammad existed . There is nothing to
add to the knowledge of humans .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Roomph chapter 30 verse 48

(30:48) It is Allah Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread
them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until thou seest rain-drops issue
from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such of his servants as He wills
behold, they do rejoice!

Again a observable phenomena nothing scientific in this . As for the rejoicing part , we all
know the desert regions of Arab have a paucity of rain , so they rejoice when it rains
because rain is so scarce in their lands . There are parts in the world where it rains most of
the times and they are delighted to see sunshine more than rain . This clearly implies that
Allah’s knowledge was limited to Arabia only .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Aaraaf chapter no 7 verse 17

(7:17)Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their
left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for thy mercies).

What does this has to do with rain ?

11
As far as my knowledge goes about Quran , Zakir Naik misquoted the verse knowing the
audience is gullible it’s the verse 7:57 of Quran which speaks about rainwater observable
phenomena yet again having nothing scientific in it:

The verse is here

7:57 -It is He Who sendeth the winds like heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy:
when they have carried the heavy-laden clouds, We drive them to a land that is dead, make
rain to descend thereon, and produce every kind of harvest therewith: thus shall We raise
up the dead: perchance ye may remember.

Even here there is nothing scientific , not all winds are favourable some of them destroy the
lands houses and buildings , then it talks about raising the dead etc which is just a
balderdash , only people driven by faith rather than logic will believe in it . Further to
mention Zakir Naik misquoted the verse here saying 7:17 instead of 7:57 .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Furkaan chapter 25 verse 48-49

(25:48)And He it is Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy,
and We send down pure water from the sky,-

(25:49)That with it We may give life to a dead land, and slake the thirst of things We have
created,- cattle and men in great numbers.

There is nothing scientific in it yet again . Not all winds give glad tidings and its way too
obvious for someone to know that in desert region rain water gives a bit of a relief to the
Arabian land . Yet again implying that Allah’s knowledge is till Arab world only . And it’s a
known fact the in some areas of the world excessive rain destroys the land rather than
revive it .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Fatir chapter 35 verse 9

(35:9)It is Allah Who sends forth the Winds, so that they raise up the Clouds, and We drive
them to a land that is dead, and revive the earth therewith after its death: even so (will be)
the Resurrection!

More prosaic and balderdash . I have already explained rain’s distribution is different in
different parts of the world at one part its good and other parts its bad . So to say we send
rain only to revive the land is quite a banal statement . There are areas receiving excessive
rainfall even when they don’t need it.

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Yaseen chapter 36 verse 34

(36:34)And We produce therein orchard with date-palms and vines, and We cause springs to
gush forth therein

12
What is scientific in this ?

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Mulk chapter 67 verse 30

(67:30)Say: "See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth), who
then can supply you with clear-flowing water?"

This phenomena was known to pagan Arabs as well that water is soaked under ground .
Some even erroneously believed that water which is getting evaporated due to harsh desert
and heart of the sun , is actually being deposited under ground .

(Zakir Naik) in Surah Tarik chapter 86 verse 11.

(86:11) By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

What ? I can’t understand what does firmament to return has to do anything with rain . To
even think that this verse describes the stage of evaporation of the water cycle is a blatant
lie .

(Zakir Naik) There are hundreds of verse in the Koran which only speaks about the water
cycle which science has discovered recently.

I found nothing scientific so far or a detail water cycle .

(Zakir Naik) We can keep on talking that today we have come to know that the plants have
got sexes which we did not know earlier Koran says in Surah Taha chapter 20 verse 53, “ the
plants have got sexes , male and female.

(20:53)(Pickthall) “Who hath appointed the earth as a bed and hath threaded roads for you
therein and hath sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers
kinds of vegetation.”

Where is detailed talk about the sexes of the plants ? Allah is talking about different types of
vegetation not the sexes of plants . I can’t believe the audience is buying the prosaic
banality and balderdash statements of this man .

(Zakir Naik) Today we have come to know that there are two types of water sweet and
salty and there is a barrier between them which is mentioned in Koran Surah Furkaan
chapter 25 verse 53 and Surah Rahman chapter 55 verse 17 and 18 “it is Allah who has let
free two bodies of flowing water though they meet they are not mixed there is a barrier
between them .”

There is no barrier between the waters , waters don’t mix immediately because of different
temperatures and density but they do mix eventually . What Allah narrated in Quran was an
observable phenomena seen by any fishermen who live near the ocean noticed salt water of
the sea mixing with sweet water of the rivers . When two rivers, carrying sediments of
different colors meet, or when sweet water coming from rivers flows into the blue salty

13
water of the sea, one can see the line of demarcation until they gradually blend . When
someone might have metaphorically talked about this demarcation as like an invisible
barrier the genius Muhammad took it as literal and stated there is an invisible barrier
between the two .

(Zakir Naik) Today science tells us that it is the mountains which prevent the earth from
shaking which is mentioned in the Koran 1400 years ago in Surah Nabah chapter 78 verse 6
and 7.

Many religions considered mountains as pegs even Rig vedic people believe this :

"Sabita made this Earth fixed by different devices (like hills and mountains) and sustains sky
without pillars so that it does not move" (Rigveda)

Now are we to believe Rigveda in this aspect because they found it long before Muhammad
? No! Its wrong no matter who says it . Mountains don’t act as pegs no matter how you put
it . Mountains are the result of earthquakes the very earthquakes gives rise to these
mountains

Quran 78:7 “Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse”

Quran 78:7” And the mountains as pegs?”

Geology tells us that mountains are formed due to movement of tectonic plates , volcanic
eruption force and earthquake . These forces compress the crust rocks of earth and to form
mountain and tectonic plate’s movement forms mountains generate volcanic eruptions
which continually renews the floors of oceans.

St. Helen mountain is a perfect example of how a mountain causes earth quakes . Where
there are more mountain there are more earthquakes and all geologist agrees on it ,
mountains could not be formed without earthquakes . It means when there was no
mountain on earth there was an earthquake which lead to compression of crustal rocks of
the earth leading to formation of the mountain. If mountains are really pegs then why are
there earthquakes in mountain regions ? Why is Mt . St. Helen is causing earthquakes ?

Come on Doctor atleast say something truthful in your arguments .

(Zakir Naik) The Koran speaks about biology that we have created every living creature from
water every living thing in Surah Ambia chapter 21 verse 30 Koran mentions this 1400 years
ago.

Thales of Miletus (624 BC -546 BC ) long before Muhammad also proposed this , as he
believed water to be the most sacred and beautiful of all elements and he was influenced by
Egyptian philosophers who knew how sacred is water and what’s its worth .For him water

14
was the main element present in most of his philosophical view because he looked at water
as the most sacrosanct of all elements .

(Zakir Naik) The Koran speaks about zoology about the lifestyle of the spider in Surah An
Kabool, chapter 29, verse 41 about the ant in Surah Namal ch 27 verse 17-18 about the bee
in Surah Nahal ch 16 verse 66,68,69.

Empedocles (490 BC – 430 BC) did a whole lot of better work on biology long before
Muhammad or Quran . In it, Empedocles explains not only the nature and history of the
universe , including his theory of the four classical elements, but he describes theories on
causation, perception, and thought, as well as explanations of terrestrial phenomena and
biological process . Empedocles described biological process of spider , bee , humans and
other creatures in even a greater detail .

(Zakir Naik) The Koran speaks about embryology in Surah Alakh ch 96 verse 182 “ we have
created human from “Alaka” a leech like substance which we have come to know recently.
The Koran speaks about embryonic stages in surah Mu Meenoon ch23 verse 12-14 you can
go on talking about the scientific points there are more than a thousand verses in the Koran
which speak about science.

Lets see the Quranic embryological states :

1- Nutfa… ‘sperm’,

2- Alaqa… ‘clot’,

3- Mudga… ‘piece of meat’,

4- Azaam… bones. And…

5- dressing of bones with muscles.’

An error of Greek philosophers who thought that bones come first then the bones are
dressed with muscles . This is an error the bones and muscles forms together not first bones
then muscles .

The muscles and the cartilage precursors of the bones, start forming from the somite at the
same time. At the end of the 8th week, there are only a few centers of calcification started -
But the fetus is already able to make muscular movement.

Author of ‘Langman’s Medical Embryology’, Dr.Sadler states ‘‘At the eight week post
fertilization, the ribs would be cartilaginous not bones - And muscles will be present’. Also at
this time , ossification will just begin. Muscles would be capable of some movement at 8
weeks.’’

The muscles are there, several weeks before there are calcified bones, rather than being
added around previously formed bones, as the Quran states. What Quran uses is totally

identical to the embryological descriptions of the Greek philosophers like Hippocrates ,
Aristotle etc who believed first bones come and then there is a dressing of bones and sperm
of a male creates a clot of blood in the womb of female and that leads to birth of a child .

So again Quran is wrong here .

(Zakir Naik) After every scientific fact you ask the question who could have mentioned that
in the Koran the only reply the atheist can give you is the creator. The cherisher, the
manufacturer , the inventor, the producer . This creator this manufacturer this producer this
inventor, we Muslims call him as ALLAH.

Yes we must ask ! Who could have mentioned all those heinous , balderdash and prosaic
statements? You Muslim call him Allah ? Oh so he is the one ? ! Well we must better stay
away from such person who lacks so much knowledge .

CONCLUSION

Dr. Naik has failed to proved the scientific miracles of Quran . And this articles shows the lies
of Dr. Naik and refutes the claims of miracles in Quran . It also shows the errors in Quran
and how it borrowed philosophies from the Greek philosophers . It also shows that humans
had an upper hand over the “revealed religion of Islam” through the scientific philosophies
of the Greeks scholars of whom the efforts had been the most prominent in providing the
science with various theories and tools for its development . I won’t say all credit goes to
the Greeks but some of it definitely is deserved by the Greeks .
