Mr. Ashgor wrote: "How many earths are there in the Universe? According to this verse (65:12), there are seven earths, as there are seven heavens or skies and all of them are inhabited. Maulana Mududi confirms this, while commenting on the verse. The questions are: are there seven earths, and inhabited by men and other living flora and fauna? Does science support this claim of the Quran?" My response: Firstly, which scientist has proven with no doubt that the earth we are living in is the only earth in the Universe? And there is no other earth? Can Mr. Ashgor and Robot Mirza cite any scientific journal to substantiate their claim? Secondly, the second part of verse 65:12 may have two meanings: (1) Seven layers of the earth that we live in, and (2) Seven different earths. Thirdly, the Arabic word that has been used in verse 65:12 has got two meanings: (1) Literal seven, and (2) Many or multiple. Now, it's a scientifically proven fact that the earth has got seven (or multiple) layers: 1. Crust, 2. Upper mantle, 3. Transition region, 4. Lower mantle, 5. D'' layer, 6. Outer core, and 7. Inner core. Source: So, the readers can obviously see that both Mr. Ashgor and Robot Mirza are lagging behind of the modern science in general and FAR behind of the Qur'an in particular! Some scientists are also predicting that there may have been multiple earths in the Universe. So, if they ever discover some other earths, then the verse 65:12 can easily be re-interpreted to match with the second meaning (i.e. seven different earths). This is the miracle of the Qur'an! So, either way (pagan) scientists like Mr. Ashgor and Robot Mirza have been dismantled with science that is being used (notoriously) against the Qur'an!
Do they have any other question?! Raihan |
