Understanding the Miraculous Nature of the Quran: A Convert's Perspective

Bismillah alhamdulillah is [Music]

to you brothers and sisters in the name of Allah to whom all praise is due I testified that there is no God

but him and that Muhammad is his messenger may his peace mercy and blessings be

upon all of you my name is Elijah and I've been a convert to Islam for about two months

maybe two and a half months at this point I am a Texan and my family has been in

Texas for at least the last hundred years of alhamdulillah I am also a four-year veteran of the U.S army where

I was a paratrooper I was in for almost four years and my religious upbringing was as a

southern baptist Protestant in my first Bible was a King James version so that's the old English version of the Bible

and I'm making this presentation because since I've converted I've seen there's plenty of material out there right

there's a plethora of it on why the Quran is a miracle and why it's contents are miraculous

and may Allah reward all the people who are doing that stuff it's all great work but I personally have not found anything

which I felt is to the point you know straightforward it's most importantly verified with

sources uh in the description every single claim that I make in this video in the

description there will be a link to some sort of educational website or maybe a government

um notice or something uh which verifies every single claim that I'm making

and it's just brief it's just something I can send people that's like here this is why Islam is the truth and the story

right basically so I've created this presentation and show a lot to show on simple straightforward terms and with

the appropriate sources once again how I know that the Quran is a revelation from God and it's just it's

basically a three-step process we're talking about the messenger peace be upon him we'll talk about the Quran and

then we'll talk about some of the Miracles Within so first up

let's talk about the the messenger right the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam uh

peace be upon him right so he lived from 570 to 630 A.D and he's from Mecca Arabia so

something about this situation right so in the west we know that this time period right around 600 A.D Western

Europe was going through something we call the Dark Ages or some right so the Western Roman Empire had been had fallen

I believe in 476 A.D was in Rome itself was sacked so Western Europe was in a state of disrepair however this was not

true for the Eastern Roman Empire based in Constantinople nor was it true for the Persian Empire

um all right I don't think China was in a difficult situation right now either

but don't call me on that particular example right and they give you some context right so the people in this time

period to them what a this the measurement of a wealthy person right in these successful parts

of the world back then would have been someone who had right like say a lot of gold right a lot of

jewels they had you know do maybe I don't know what kind of jewels they had back then but gold silver they had silk

clothing maybe they had the Emperors and stuff they would have like elephants and other exotic animals brought in from you

know the various corners of the world or they would have tons of books and they have plenty of stuff to read they'd have

bookshelves right all this stuff right that's what they thought was a wealthy person for context in Mecca in Arabia

during the time of the Prophet peace be upon him the measurement like when we when people describe people as being

wealthy back then in that part of the world it was like he owns like a ton of camels right he has just a whole bunch

of camels right and for them that was a lot but when you compare it right in this part of the

world like there was no Sciences these people don't have access to the Sciences these uh they didn't have any

Universities they didn't have any uh observatories right so there was no big scholarship no not nothing no one trying

to discover the truth of the world around here right outside of maybe some some meditative uh Sex Type people

but obviously over there in the empires there was right so there's key to know that the people in the time of the

Prophet peace be upon him and where he was and in that time period this was not an

educated literate Society they did not have access to the sciences and like most

people in his time the prophet peace be upon him he was illiterate and he was uneducated and this is not in dispute by

anyone because even the people who have negative things to say about Islam they spend all their time criticizing Islam

they will use the fact that he was illiterate as a point against us but I will show in

this presentation obviously why that is actually a point in his favor in our favor peace be upon it right and of

course I have a link in the description talking about his biography and you can look into it yourself if you'd like

second of all the Quran right so this is what I'm trying to prove is a revelation from God so the Quran

first thing we should know is that the oldest copies are from the 600s and the 700s so the oldest

manuscript so a fragment the oldest uh fragmentary manuscript of the Quran is the Birmingham manuscript

and this is dated to some point between 4 548 and 645 A.D so that's within the lifetime of the Prophet peace be upon

him and of course it matches the Quran we have today the oldest nearly complete manuscript so

it is over 99 of the Quran it's 23 verses missing out of 6236 so it's it's a complete Quran

basically is the top cocky manuscript I'm probably pronouncing that wrong which is from

somewhere in the early or mid 700s right so basically like a century after the death of the Prophet peace be upon him

very recent after for this full manuscript so even if you say well I don't believe

you that it's been preserved since the prophet Muhammad well the oldest full one we have is from this early or mid

700s so the Quran is at least that old which is sufficient for our purposes at the

very least uh secondly uh the Quran was revealed out of order

and what do I mean by that so when you open the Quran you'll see it has sures and so does translate roughly to some

people say chapter but realistically a chapter is usually a uniform length um whereas a sword the longest one is

286 verses and the shortest one is three right so really they're sections so when I say Surah thinks section right the

first Surah of the Quran revealed was Surah 96. 01 when you open it up that was the

fifth server revealed and the last part of the Quran revealed was the third verse of Surah 5 right and

this happened to Lolly would either be a sir revealed or be a few verses of Surah would be even one Surah sometimes or

sorry excuse me one verse or a handful of verses would be revealed at one time and this is over the course of 23 years

so the way it was revealed is not the way it is currently organized and third off uh big parts of the Quran

if not all arguably uh were revealed to the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him from the angel Gabriel Islam

uh due to from unforeseen circumstances what do I mean by that so for example the Surah of the Prophet Joseph peace be

upon him it's the whole story of his story like what happened when you know his brothers sold him to slavery in

Egypt and how he brought his family into Egypt Christians and Jews should be familiar with this story

in the time of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him there were a group of Jews who were

heckling him right they were bothering him and they were saying hey if you're really a prophet of God then tell us a

story of the Prophet Joseph peace be upon him and something you should know with this

is that during that time period this wasn't really like widespread knowledge because the com the dominant

religion of Arabia at that time was a form of paganism right and there were Jews in the area but just like Jews

today rights they keep their religion close to their chest right they don't go out trying to spread their beliefs right

they they keep things hidden and they don't they don't cross the ties right but on the spot like during being

heckled he looked and he got a revelation from the angel Gabriel peace be upon him

and he told the entire story of the Prophet Joseph on the spot and the Jews there were absolutely amazed they had

nothing to say to this right so that that's like that's your context right so the prophet Muhammad peace be

upon Him illiterate from an illiterate uneducated part of the world and the Quran is at least in 700 A.D but

I'll show you it's from earlier than that and then it was revealed out of order and it was revealed to unforeseen

circumstances right and if you uh don't agree or you challenge any of these claims you can go ahead you can go into

the links and you can look into the stuff and then come back once you've verified this information

so I have five Miracles that I actually want to show right in this first one talk it it's proof that

in my opinion it's proof that the Quran we have is the Quran since the prophet Muhammad to speak upon him so right

so here's something we should note or at least that it's preserved right so as I might have said before the Quran

has 114 surahs or sections right Each of which is composed of verses if you add all Surah numbers to their

corresponding verse amount of verses so for example Surah 1 has seven verses one plus seven

is eight Surah two and let me move the camera down so you can see it

yeah that way when I get lower everyone will be able to see it all right that should be good

Surah 2 has 286 verses so our total is 288. Surah 3 has 200 verses so our total is 203.

you so with these calculations right so 1 is 8 2 is 288 3 is 203 right you get exactly 57 even totals

and you get exactly 57 odd totals right so what happens when you add all of these totals together right so if you

add 1 plus 7 is 8 2 plus 26 is 288 uh sir 114 down here I know has six verses so the total is 120.

you add the totals of these 57 calculations all together

you get six thousand two hundred

and thirty six now you might have caught this number earlier

links running low you might have caught this number earlier because

6236 is also the number of verses in the whole Quran right

and if you add our 57 odd totals right so three to 203 uh sir 108 has three verses that's 111 if you add these

57 calculations totals you get six thousand five hundred and fifty five six thousand five hundred and fifty five

is the total if you added all the numbers of the surahs together so one plus two plus three plus four plus five

plus six plus seven all the way up to 114 if you added all of those together

this is what you would get 655 and it's also the total of these 57 calculations of the odd total

service right so if you were to remove or add a verse anywhere or if you were to remove or add

a Surah anywhere in this chart this entire system would fall apart so let's just

take 0 1 sir 1 is small right so it has eight verses let's say Surin one now has uh nine verses right so the first thing

that would happen is it would no longer be even so it would be over here

and we would go from having 56 even and sorry 57 even 57 odd to 56 even and 58 odd so our even

odd balance falls apart the total number of verses would become 6237.

and the total of these 57 56 even calculations would be subtracted by nine so the total will be six thousand two

hundred and twenty eight so it just wouldn't match anymore and of course this the total of the um

all the Soros combining would still be 655 however you've added nine to this side of the board so 655 plus nine is

six thousand five hundred and sixty four even though the total between all the service combining is six thousand five

hundred fifty five and of course if you added or subtracted a single server it would also mess up the 655 and then

switch over it it everything would break by adding even one verse or subtracting one verse anywhere in this chart or

adding or subtracting one Surah anywhere in this chart I just added one verse every single part of this mathematical

balance collapsed immediately so if our Quran was off by even one aspect of this

the whole thing would fall apart now I'm asking you were people who could not read or write

except for maybe one or two or three out of thousands in the middle of Arabia in the 600s

did they come up with this and I also ask you can you find any other religious texts

that looks like this you cannot so this is to me

this is already clear divine intervention I'm gonna get my Eraser to me this is already enough to me this

is there's no other religious sex that has any sort of pattern resembling this but I have four more miracles just in

case you're not convinced the second one is about water so we have two verses of the Quran

concerning this one we have I think it's Quran 2130 and 2445

foreign and everyone should know this right this is pretty common knowledge in the public

schools at least these days is that all living things on earth obviously plants and then animals and even people even

humans right all creatures are made of water I believe human beings I believe our bodies are somewhere around 70

percent water by volume and here's what the Quran says the Quran says

do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were once one mass and then we split them apart

now I've seen some commentators say that this is actually referring to the Big Bang but that is definitely beyond the

scope of this conversation and we created from water every living thing

will they not then believe it says every single living thing is Created from water

but the Quran doesn't say this once it says this twice right so the Quran 2445 and the law has created from water every

living creature some of them crawl on their bellies some walk on two legs and some walk on four

Allah creates whatever he Wills surely Allah is most capable of everything now to my knowledge the only way

that you can know that every single living thing is made of water is if you have a microscope and you look down to

the cellular level right because there's no way if you remember in in school probably in elementary school the first

time a teacher maybe you're you're a relative adult relative told you yeah living things are made out of water and

you went I feel pretty solid right um because the fact that we're all made

of water is not readily apparent right you couldn't possibly know that so again unless the prophet Muhammad peace be

upon him and the people who were with him had microscopes we don't know about in this

the 600s in Arabia uh how could they know this unless it was divine intervention

all right that one's pretty straightforward the next one is about bees

specifically uh the female bees and we have Quran 1668. and 1669.

and I will read these both as a single Passage and your lord inspired the bees make

your homes in the mountains the trees and in what people construct and feed from the flower of any fruit you please

and follow the ways your Lord has made easy for you from their bellies comes forth liquid of varying colors in which

there is healing for people surely and this is a sign for those to reflect just as an aside we do know now

that as this verse of the Quran states that honey has healing properties people use it for medicinal purposes that's

actually not the miracle that I'm focusing on right so something else

um per so that everyone knows at this point I believe

that honeybees so the bees that go out the worker bees that go out and they collect honey and they come back and

they construct The Hive and they do all the work in the hive or female the male Visa drones they kind of just

sit around at home all day and they eat and they take up space right but the workers are female

this was first discovered in 1637 by Richard remnant he was an English nobleman who wrote a paper I put in the

description uh it's it's in Old English but it's you could you could probably still read it

um and he was he's the first one to say that worker bees are female before he wrote his 1637 paper everyone in the

world thought uh the worker bees were male and another common belief is that the leader of the hive was the queen was

actually a king so he believed that hives were ruled by Kings and the workers were male until Richard Remnant

proved otherwise however let me show you something so in Arabic words are gender nouns are gendered

right and the things you used to describe those nouns are also gendered if you're if you're from Texas or you're

from like a border state you're probably familiar with this in Spanish so I'm looking at a chair right

now right chair in Spanish is C uh right so CIA is female it means uh chair right the chair is in the feminine so if I

always says talk about this chair in Spanish right everything that I say would have to be

uh in the feminine form otherwise if a Spanish speaker was here they would look at me like I'm crazy right it doesn't

make sense it sounds crazy if you speak about it in a way that is in the improper gender so it's the same so in

Arabic here's a few words from this passage so we have the word eat if you remember the

passage we have follow the ways and we have

its bellies or bellies now I don't speak Arabic but I'm going to

pronounce these as best as I can so cool is the transliteration right so this is Arabic for eat in the mail

is this is the female version of the same word eats male eat female right follow the ways we have

let's look for mail and a slip key for female and then we have

uh for male for bellies and we have put to Niha

uh if you speak Arabic I don't care how bad I'm pronouncing it for female right so what we find in the Quran is that in

all three of these cases in these two passages when it's describing the bees who go out and they collect the honey

and they go to the to the flowers of the fruits and then they build the hives they've been through these constructions

right every single way it describes them it uses the female foreign

is there some way that the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him a thousand plus years

before uh these these extremely wealthy scientists noblemen in Europe discovered that honeybees are females or some way

that he could have known that did he have the time or the energy or did anyone

have the time to to work on this and see that uh worker bees are female like no nobody knew this the whole world thought

they were male for a thousand years but here in the Quran it describes them the worker bees as female

and how did they know this without divine intervention it's impossible they could not have known this just like with

the water example so that was pretty straightforward now before we move on I need to explain

temperature systems so in America we use what we use Fahrenheit uh the rest of the world and some

scientists here in America use celsius okay because they coordinate with other

countries and then we have a third system that a lot of people don't know about called

Kelvin right uh so fahrenheit's Celsius and Kelvin

now zero Celsius is what zero Celsius is the freezing point of water

right zero fahrenheit there's a myth that zero fahrenheit is the freezing point of salt

water this is actually not true zero fahrenheit is completely arbitrary right with Kelvin so Kelvin is

interesting right the temperature system of Kelvin if you didn't know right

there is right the people who study this sort of thing have found out that there is actually a lowest possible

temperature that anything in the entire universe can become right Kelvin zero is this temperature it's the

lowest possible temperature that the Universe could possibly produce so the way God made the universe Kelvin its

Baseline is the the bottom of the temperature skill that he made in the universe so all right so Kelvin

is zero is lowest possible temp

right so just remember this so you know Fahrenheit is Zero's arbitrary Celsius is of the freezing of water at

zero Kelvin is zero Kelvin is based on the way God made the universe because the Baseline of Kelvin the zero of

Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature in the entire universe so it is based on

his creation right so Kelvin is not arbitrary remember that so in the Quran we have

this Surah called iron isura 57.

sir 57 iron and in the Surah called iron sir iron we

have verse 25 right verse 25 in Surah iron is actually the only time in this entire Surah that

mentions iron uh but as we'll come to see the naming is very apt right so I'm going to read

this verse to you indeed we sent our Messengers with clear proofs and with them we sent down the

scripture and the balance of justice so that people may administer Justice and we sent down ire iron with its great

might benefits for Humanity and means for Allah to prove who is willing to stand up for him and his Messengers

without seeing him surely Allah is all-powerful Almighty right there's a few things about this

so this Surah um is in the middle of the Quran right so

if you take the number of stories in the Quran which is 114 and you divide them by two you get

57 right so in the middle of the Quran iron 57 this is the name right so it's in the middle

you should also know that earth's core is made up of an iron nickel alloy so iron is in the middle of the Croton and

then iron is in the middle of the Earth right how deep in the middle of the Earth

iron the iron inner core the inner core is 5100 and kilometers approximately approximately deep right

and the iron in this core starts to boil

5100 Kelvin is the boiling of this iron

now I put a chart in the description that numbers each and every quranic verse

right this verse 57 25 which mentions iron which it sure is in the middle of the

Quran is exactly the 5 100 verse of the Quran is this is the one

five thousand one hundredth verse of the Quran in the middle and the iron core which it

is named after is 5100 kilometers deep and it's melts at 5100 Kelvin or it boils at 5100 Kelvin right but that's

actually not all that there is to this one verse right so let me clear this up

so if you don't know about protons let's talk about atoms right so everything is made of atoms right so in my fingernail

right here I think there's probably I mean billions or maybe trillions of atoms in that right

and atoms are made up of protons electrons and neutrons

so protons Define the elements so if you remember in school looking at

the periodic table right all the elements that the whole universe is made up of so we have hydrogen we have helium

we have iron right uh they have a number I believe it's in the top left and that number is the

number of protons that it has right it's just it's the number we identified by so for example hydrogen has exactly one

proton if an atom has one proton it is hydrogen likewise iron has 26 protons

if an atom has 26 protons that atom is iron electrons

fine charge so while protons are positively charged

particles right the positive positively charged components of an atom electrons are negatively charged so if

the number of electrons matches the number of protons in an atom that atom is said to be neutrally charged right if

the number of electrons in an atom exceeds the number of protons it is negatively charged right because

electrons or negative protons are positive there's more negative than positive it's a negative charge atom

the inverse right if there's fewer electrons than protons then it's a positively charged atom because it's

more positive than negative and then finally neutrons Define

isotope so an isotope

like an isotope is a version of an atom with a different number of neutrons yeah right so that's pretty

straightforward but that matters because it's all stays iron but it's it's a functionally different form of iron or

it's a functionally different form of that atom so for example um

we have like iron we're supposed to go with hydrogen so hydrogen hydrogen three would be

hydrogen that has two neutrons right because hydrogen always has one proton and to get the isotope to figure out

what the isotope is you have the number of neutrons to the number of protons so hydrogen three has one proton it always

does and it has two neutrons hydrogen four has three neutrons hydrogen five has four neutrons and on and on and on

and on and on this defines the isotope right so if you remember our verse right foreign

57 25 right now iron has

26 protons by definition and atom with 26 protons is iron right

now we can say oh man look look how close it is right it's one number off

but in the Quran in and this is how we know in 113 of the 114 suros there is an extra introductory portion

which is not a verse but it is part of the Surah it's a portion of the Surah it's just not a verse it says

it's an intro right so counting from the intro which is part of this Surah 57 Surah 57 has one

this is actually in the 26th part of the Surah in the 26th

part of the Surah and has

26 protons so even that lines up right so we've gone over a lot of it so far so there's

actually there's actually one more thing to this verse so we talked about Isotopes right

foreign naturally occurring which means they appear in nature isotopes of iron they

are 54 56 57 and 58. all right

so these four are stable isotopes so what is a stable isotope

a stable isotope is an atom or it's a type of that atom right so we have iron say iron 56 right if you leave iron 56

alone in a room then you don't mess with it it will never stop being ironed and that's something people are thinking

what what do you mean of course it won't it's it is what it is right but actually we have unstable isotopes

or radioactive is also what they're called right

so what that means is an unstable or radioactive radioactive is so right uh if you leave it alone

even if you leave even if we don't do anything to we just let it sit there it will actually Decay and it will turn

into a different uh element it'll turn it into a different type of atom and as it's turning in this other type of atom

it lets off radiation right so we use like uranium in our nuclear power plants right what's actually happening with

that uranium is that the uranium atoms the Isotopes the type of uranium that we're using right it has a corresponding

number to it it is unstable by its structure by its comp whatever combination of protons

neutrons electrons that it has it breaks down and it degrades into a different kind of elements and the

energy that it lets off as it's degrading is how we power the nuclear power plants right so we have four

stable isotopes of iron so like for example iron 55 which is not here it's Imaging 54 and 56 unstable it's

radioactive right but these are the four that if we just leave them alone they will continue to be Iron nothing

will happen to them or so we thought so according to a study from the University of no visad in Yugoslavia in 1998 with a

certainty of 68 percent iron 54's only observationally stable right so what is observationally stable mean

observationally stable means it is radioactive but it is only Radioactive on an extremely long time scale so if

God you know he lets uh the universe go on like forever until all the stars die and everything he said he wouldn't but

if he just lets that happen right he just goes on and on and on eventually all of the iron 54 will break down and

turn into other stuff right so we will only have three types of iron in that circumstance right

these three iron 56 iron 57 and iron 58 these are the only three truly stable

uh types of iron isotopes of iron right so you'll notice that we have 56 we have 58 and in the middle of these

three in the middle we have 57 iron 57 is in the middle of our list

just like iron 57 the Surah is in the middle of the Quran just like the iron uh nickel alloy is in the middle of the

Earth 5100 kilometers deep 5100 Kelvin starts to boil just like our uh the number of

our verse right and that verse is in the 26th portion of that Surah how did every single one of these things every single

one all of them match up how did they match up did how do you even I don't even know how you measure

how deep the Earth is right do you think they knew back then that all this stuff and they they set it up and they

coordinated it so that we would see this no they couldn't have possibly known this

it is the most of obvious divine intervention I've ever seen right they didn't know what Kelvin was they didn't

know what Isotopes were they didn't know what protons were right so yeah like this is this is the most obvious divine

intervention that I've ever seen um but that's actually not the last miracle that I want to show you

foreign and just remember what Kelvin is Right Kelvin is based on the temperature

system that got uh you know zero is the lowest temperature he said for the universe so it's based on his creation

right so the sun right the first time the sun is mentioned in the Quran is 2 258.

so first mentioned foreign fifty eight and the last time it is

mentioned is ninety one nine now something to get out of the way here if you go online and you look up a

translation of the Quran and you look for the word Sun a lot of the English translations will

say that 2 187 of the Quran is the first time that the sun they'll say it'll say sunset in that verse if you look it up

in English this is not malicious on the part of the translator they're doing the best they can to translate it to English

right because not everything translates exactly the same but the word for sun in Arabic

is first into 258 uh it's just that the way 2 187 is phrased they say Sunset to simplify it for the English-speaking

reader so I put in a literal word for word Arabic to English translation of that Surah in the description you can

read it and you can see that no actually the first time sun was mentioned is into 258 right

so 2 to 58 and 91.9 so this verse here 2 258 is the 265th verse right of the

Quran 91 9 is the 6000

44th verse of the Quran now the number of verses between these two and how do you calculate the number

of things between two numbers right so let's say we have 10 and we have five right

so 10 minus 5 equals 5. but this is not the number of numbers between 10 and 5. the numbers between 10

and 5 are 9. 8 7 and 6. so to find the numbers uh between two numbers you do you subtract them and then you do minus

one and it gets it gets four so there are four numbers between 10 between 10 and 5

right okay the number of verses between 6 out of

and 44 and 265 is exactly 5778. now 5778 kelvin

is exactly exactly the average surface temperature in Kelvin

of the son of our son this is the average surface temperature and it's the number of verses between

the first and last time the sun is mentioned in the Quran did

what did they did they set that up did they know did they have their telescopes and their inter you know

their thermometers that worked across space their infrared uh measuring devices no absolutely not this

is the most obvious the Quran is the most obvious thing from God that I have ever seen in my life it is literally

it's a book of Miracles that we've been sent as a mercy from our Lord that's just what it is

right so I I'll end on this note if if you want to follow God right the

first thing you need to do is to take this brain that he gave you right we're all in agreement that we

were created right you'd be arrogant to suggest otherwise right you take this brain that he gave you which is more

powerful than any computer or any supercomputer any government or any other institution on Earth has ever been

able to create that's your brain it's more powerful than any of that take it what he gifted you with and use it and

think logically and if you think logically and you look at it the answer is obvious right it's plain

for everyone to see and if you have you have thought logically and you have reached that

conclusion then there's really only one thing you need to do is you just need to say you know you need to believe and say

there is one God and Muhammad right Prophet Muhammad upon him the guy who brought this message right the Quran

that he is one of his Messengers that's it and you'll be on the truth at that point

yeah um and for people who are nervous about

like oh I don't want to be I don't want to give up my culture I don't want to give up you know my

traditions my family all of this stuff you don't have to do any of that right I'm not dressed like an Arab although

there's nothing wrong just like an arrow right um

Adam peace be upon him who was all of our all of Mankind's forefather right we all come from him peace be upon him he

was a Muslim so Islam is the inheritance of every single person on Earth it doesn't matter

your race your ethnicity your nationality none of that is relevant all of mankind God has sent Islam to guide

all of mankind as a gift to us and as a mercy to us despite our failing so think about what I've said

um yeah just think logically all right May the peace mercy and blessings of God be upon all of you and have a good one
