" Soon WE will show them Our Signs in farthest regions of the earth and in them selves until it becomes manifest to them that it is the truth. It is not enough that thy Lord is Witness over all things ? " 41:53

In this verse, Allah (SWT) is telling us that he will show us his wonders in our selves and in the horizons. In our selves is best to describe our bodies and the way we function. The human body is a sophisticated machine. It contains hundreds of organs, bones, vains that keep us a live. Also, Allah is showing us his wonders especially in the Space.

" So, whomsoever ALLAH intends to guide, HE expands his bosom for the acceptance of Islam; and whomsoever HE intends that he should go astray, HE makes his bosom narrow and close, as though he was mounting up into the skies. Thus does ALLAH inflict punishment on those who do not believe." 6:125

How did Mohammad (pbuh) know about the 20th century Scientific fact that there is no enough Oxygen to sustain life as you move upwards in the Atmosphere? Actually, you'll only feel the complete loss of Oxygen apx. 67 miles above sea level. How did Mohammad (pbuh) know that especially when he lived in the desert away from high mountains? and why would he mentioned that in the first place?

" Say, `HE has the power to send punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet, or to confound you by splitting you into sects and make you taste the violence of one another. See how WE expound the Signs in various ways that they may understand !. And thy people have rejected it though it is the truth. Say, `I am not a guardian over you.' For every prophecy there is a fixed time; and soon will you come to know. " 6:65-67

This verse isn't talking about Mohammad's companions at all. This verse foretells that in the future generations there will be war and blood shed from above the grounds (air planes) and underneath the ground (mines).

" And thy Lord revealed to the bee : `Make thou houses in the hills and in the trees and in the trellises which they build, `Then eat all manner of fruits, and follow the ways taught to thee by thy Lord and which have been made easy for thee.' There comes from their bellies a drink of varying hues. Therein is a healing for mankind. Surely, in that is Sign for a people who reflect." 16:68-69

How did Mohammad (pbuh) know about the 20th century Scientific fact of the Bee Kingdom? Allah (SWT) is telling us that the Bee can produce different food! This is true since the Bee has a unique stomach that capable of producing food (honey) that is different in color and taste. Also, Allah (SWT) is referring to the bees in the feminine instead of muscular verbiage as in the Arabic word "Koolie" means eat and "fas-lookie" which means follow the way. The gender of the Bees is divided into 3 classes. The Queen, the Drones, which are the male Bees and the Workers, which are the female Bees. The workers are the ones who build hives, feed the queen, gather the pollen and the nectar and protect the hives. Allah (SWT) was talking to the workers (females) and that's why he used the feminine verbiage. How did Mohammad (pbuh) know about the 3 classes of the Bees?

This paragraph was obtained from the Internet regarding the Honey Bee and how it produces different types of honey: " There are as many flavors of honey as there are flowers. In early summer we get honey from wild berries and locust trees. The main honey flow occurs up here in teh North during July, and we harvest a delicious light honey made from the blossoms of clover, alfalfa,and wild flowers. As the season progresses, the later flowers, goidenrod and aster, darken the color and make the flavor more pronounced. Honey can be as dark as molasses, as those who know buckwheat honey can attest. Its dark color and distinctive flavor cannot be mistaken. If one type of flower predominates in an area, the honey will have its flavor. Most of you have probably seen orange blossom, tupelo, or sourwood honey for sale. Generally, the lighter the honey, the milder is its flavor and the better it is for general cooking."

" And WE brought the children of Israel across the sea; and Pharaoh and his hosts pursued them wrongfully and aggressively, till when the calamity of drowning overtook him, he cried, `I believe that there is no god but HE in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of those who submit to Him.' What ! Now ! while thou wast disobedient before this and wast of the mischief-makers. So this day WE will save thee in thy body alone that thou mayest be a Sign to those who come after thee. And surely many of mankind are heedless of Our Signs." 10:90-92

In the 19th century, the British explorer Loret discovered Pharaoh' body. Ramesses III (Pharaoh) was the one who chased Moses (pbuh) in the Red Sea. For many many centuries, people believed that Pharaoh died natural causes in his bed. But 14th centuries ago, the Qur'an corrected this misconception by stating that Pharaoh drowned. On July 8, 1907 Elliot Smith took off the wraps of Ramesses III (Pharaoh) and after examining the well preserved body, he found salt from the Red Sea that still in the skin. Pharaoh's body lies in the Cairo Museum in Egypt in a very good condition.

" The likeness of the present life is only as water which WE sent down from the clouds, then there mingles with it the produce of the earth, of which men and cattle eat till when the earth takes on its ornament and looks beautiful and its owners think that they have full power over it, there comes to it by Our command by night or by day and WE render it like a mown down field, as if nothing existed there the day before. Thus do WE expound the Signs for a people who reflect. " 10:24

The reason the Almighty Allah (SWT) said " by night OR day " because if the Hour would to take place during the day time in America, then it will be night time in Australia, and vice versa. Judgment day happens to all earth regardless if it is a night or a day time. That's why Allah (SWT) said "night OR day". This is a scientific fact that Earth does rotate around its self for us to have the day and night.
