The Unchallangeable Miracles of the Qur'an
The Qur'an is a book of guidance for all of humanity, and Allah has promised that He will preserve it in its original pristine form until the Day of Judgment. The inimitable style of the Qur'aan and the superior wisdom in it are definitive evidences that it is the Word of God. Besides, the Qur'an has many miraculous verses proving that it is undoubtedly a revelation from God and not the work of a human.
Although the Qur'an is not just a book of science, it clearly states a number of scientific truths that were uncovered only with the help of modern technology in the 20th century. How can we explain the numerous scientific facts mentioned in its verses over 1400 years ago?
Time after time, respected scientists and renowned experts from all over the world, upon studying the verses of the Qur'an (Quraan) have had no other choice but to acknowledge that there were no means of knowing these scientific facts 1400 years ago. The only way they could have reached us is through revelation: proving that the Qur'an is the word of God.
Just as scientists and researchers are fascinated by the wealth of knowledge and depth of meaning carried in the verses of the Qur'an (Koran/Coran), modern readers too will find a great deal of benefit in the amazing information and insight offered by this book.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, to read about the beautiful amazing pure miracles cited in the Quran, backed up by science. I wanted to read about the mountains, and the oceans, and bees. Things that are complete amazement in this world. But unfortunately, this book was a real disappointment and, at times, very disturbing, especially as a woman reading it.
The author did not have a lot of evidence to back up his thoughts, he sort of just put a bunch of his opinions together and tried to find quotes or facts to back himself up. What upset me the most were his last chapters on women. His opinions were not backed up with evidential science and Quran quotes, it was mostly himself spitting hatred, blame and control over women. A chapter titled "A disease that afflicts any woman who dresses immodestly" was the most bizarre thing I have ever read, in which the author is stating that skin cancer is a disease that was sent from God to punish women who wear short dresses. As someone who lives in Australia, with the highest rates of skin cancer, we know as science tells us, that men are more likely to get melanoma skin cancer than women, and for everyone the most likely places to get it are on the face, especially nose, and hands. These are facts. If you are wearing a short dress, or a hijab, your face and hands are still exposed. His chapter here was not a miracle of the Quran, just a fear mongering campaign, backed up with zero evidence.
He had another chapter dedicated to cursing intermingling of the sexes. He claims with a bunch of one sided facts that he found, about assaults on women happening in only mixed societies. This is not an unchallengeable miracle of the Quran backed up by science. Assaults happen against women in every country, every culture, and every religion. The only thing to blame for assaults on women, is the person, or people who committed the assault. Nothing else is to blame for someone's awful actions. Other concerns I have about this book are about women need to only stay in the home, not in the workforce, and especially not mixing with men in the workforce. He writes that if, and only if, a woman has more to offer she can work in women related fields; teaching, medicine and nursing.
Women have the right to not feel guilty for existing outside of this man's beliefs. It is disturbing, upsetting and in no way ok what is written down in this book. One man's opinions and no evidence, connection or support.
I will continue to marvel in the miracles that God has given us on this beautiful planet, but I will not support this book, and the messages inside, and you shouldn't either.

I read the translated version, so it might be a bit different than the original. But in the beginning and a little towards the end the author was a little bit too quick to reason things... to the point where I think that he was a little biased.
I think there was a problem with bringing across ideas across the translation of the work. For example: when explaining a certain hadith the author would skip explaining what the prophet said or would like things that had nothing to do together. Like... dreams and having a bad daughter. If anyone understood that explanation please reply to me, as I am still trying to understand that example.
Otherwise I learned about things more than I became confused, but still think I would find other books that would talk about the Quran and hadith in a much coherent matter.

It has a lot of grammatical mistakes, and some miracles, I find a bit hard to swallow. There is also quite a bit of repetition and the style of writing is a bit lacking. But overall the book does make you ponder over religion and over many verses of the Quran; and for that reason the book was unexpectedly an enjoyable read for me.

Buku ini berkulit keras. Halamannya merupakan kertas glossy yang mengandungi gambar berwarna-warni. Tulisannya sederhana besar; sesuai bagi seorang pembaca yang agak rabun seperti aku.
Umat Islam wajib beriman dengan Kitab Al Quran, kerana ia mengandungi kalam Allah SWT yang diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. Mukjizat Al Quran itu sendiri apabila ayat-ayatnya diturunkan kepada seorang hamba Allah SWT yang tidak tahu menulis dan membaca, seperti Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.; dan isi kandungannya pula merentas zaman.
Sesetengah ayat boleh difahami secara terang-terangan, manakala ada pula ayat yang perlu dikaji dan difahami dengan lebih mendalam. Ayat-ayat seumpama ini telah dibuktikan oleh kajian saintifik yang dijalankan sejak berkurun lamanya. Maka dengan adanya bukti dari kajian sains ini, jelas bahawa ayat-ayat Al Quran bukanlah dicipta oleh Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. itu sendiri, malah ianya datang dari suatu kuasa yang lebih besar dan tinggi ilmunya; iaitu Allah SWT Yang Maha Mengetahui dan Maha Berkuasa. Inilah yang cuba diketengahkan oleh penulis buku ini.
Bila dibaca pada tajuk, tentulah kita akan mengharapkan kandungan dalam buku ini menulis tentang mukjizat-mukjizat Al Quran. Pada mulanya begitulah tanggapanku. Walaupun aku tahu, ayat-ayat Al Quran tidak perlu lagi diperjelas dan dibuktikan oleh apa-apa, kerana semuanya benar belaka; namun aku punya naluri ingin tahu untuk membaca sendiri apakah bukti-bukti yang telah ditemui oleh pakar-pakar sains Islam dan bukan Islam.
Namun begitu, buku ini memberikan suatu bentuk keyakinan bahawa ayat-ayat Al Quran yang diturunkan oleh Allah SWT dan juga Hadis yang dikemukakan oleh Rasulullah s.a.w. bukanlah hanya dibuat-buat; tetapi semuanya mengandungi maksud yang tersendiri dan sudah terbukti pada masa kini.
Contohnya mengenai ayat dari Surah Al A'raf : 31 yang menegah manusia daripada makan secara berlebihan. Sekarang ini sudah banyak bukti sains mengenai akibat buruk daripada makan yang berlebihan. Banjir besar yang melanda kaum Nabi Nuh a.s. juga disebut dalam Surah Al-Furqan : 37 dan Surah Hud : 40; dan bukti peninggalannya telah dijumpai oleh sekumpulan ahli sains, terletak kira-kira 10km dari Gunung Ararat.
Tetapi, aku agak kecewa kerana tidak banyak yang diketengahkan oleh penulis buku ini dalam konteks begitu. Malah, ada beberapa bab yang menyebut tentang Hadis Rasulullah s.a.w., dan bukannya ayat Al Quran. Ini agak mengecewakan aku, kerana tajuknya ialah mengenai keajaiban Al Quran. Jadi, kekecewaan ini lebih kepada harapanku (my expectations) terhadap buku ini. Dalam bab-bab yang menulis tentang ayat Al Quran, ayat yang sama diulang-ulang walaupun ia sudah pun diperjelaskan.
Mayat Firaun yang lemas di Laut Merah juga ditinggalkan oleh Allah SWT sebagai peringatan kepada umat manusia, seperti yang disebut di dalam Surah Yunus : 91-92; dan mayat ini telah dijumpai pada tahun 1898.
Buku ini juga mengupas tentang kejadian manusia yang sangat kompleks; dan setiap pembentukan organ dalaman manusia telah dibuktikan oleh saintis dari semasa ke semasa. Ia menyatakan dengan panjang lebar tentang pembentukan janin, bagaimana terjadinya janin itu, tentang proses mengandung, tentang proses menyusukan bayi, dan tentang khasiat buah kurma untuk wanita yang sedang mengandung.
Buku ini turut menyatakan tentang anatomi manusia termasuk perbezaan cap jari antara seorang dengan seorang yang lain; malah antara satu jari dengan jari yang lain! Dalam kekecewaanku pada awal pembacaan, ia bertukar menjadi kekaguman dan kesyukuran terhadap Allah SWT Yang Maha Bijaksana. Tidak mungkin ada makhluk lain yang mampu menandingi kuasa Allah SWT dalam menjadikan manusia yang kompleks ini.
Banyak lagi ayat-ayat Al Quran yang telah dibuktikan kebenarannya pada masa kini. Buku ini juga menyatakan tentang Hadis-Hadis Rasulullah s.a.w. yang menyebut tentang sesuatu perkara yang bakal berlaku; dan perkara itu memang benar-benar berlaku. Ini membuktikan bahawa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bukanlah manusia biasa, tetapi seorang hamba Allah SWT yang terpilih untuk mendapat wahyu dan ilham daripadaNya.
Nyatalah Al Quran merupakan mukjizat bagi seorang Rasul Terakhir, iaitu Nabi Muhammad s.a.w., untuk seluruh manusia sepanjang zaman.
Satu kekurangan yang agak jelas pada buku ini ialah gambar-gambar yang tidak mempunyai kapsyen dan tidak juga dijelaskan di dalam teks.

I'd give it 2 stars, mostly because while there are some really good scientific facts in the Qur'an, the author seems to "grope at threads" a.k.a making a "strong" connection between science and the Qur'an when it isn't truly so.
Now I'm a Muslim and I love my religion and I love Allah and The Prophets, may peace be upon them. But I'm also a lover of science and extensive research. I cannot in good conscience say that this book is the best book for those looking for science in the Qur'an. Some of it is absolutely correct and you can't deny that the Qur'an had already mentioned it before people discovered it, but the rest is just not good enough.
Of course, I don't need this book to make me a believer cause the Qur'an is enough for me. But for others, I wouldn't recommend it, personally. It will just dissapoint.

First, the title is misleading. Although I'm not against miracles in Hadith, I expected this book to concentrate more on the Qura'anic miracles. As well as that I found some explanations weak, the author could have found more sources to back up certain points, because I have no doubt they are miracles, but if a person outside of Islam were to read this book, they would find it hard to believe if you could only cite one source. (Sometime the source wasn't even footnoted or mentioned).
Apart from the negatives I did enjoy some bits of it, and found some topics really educational and eye opening.

Sebenarnya bukunya bagus, tapi banyak banget yang tidak saya pahami. Entahlah, mungkin karena kualitas terjemahannya atau bagaimana
