Just look at the logic of this one book, the word day is mentioned 365 times, which takes the earth to complete full rotation.

The word
Al-bahar Sea mentioned 32 times
Al-bar Land mentioned 13 times

If we add up the total words of both "sea" and "land" we get 45. Now if we do a simple calculation:
32/45 X 100% = 71.11111111%
13/45 X 100% = 28.88888888%

Quran also prophesised about The moon split which was only mentioned in the Koran and then discovered in 1969 as well as the discovery of mummy of Pharoah's 14 hundred years ago.

Such beliefs just make me

The Miracle of the Pharoah mummy prediction, no where to be found in the Bible or Old Testament.

“Today, We will save and preserve your body, so that you may become a sign to those who come after you. But verily, many people are heedless of Our signs.” (Qur'an, 10:92)


For more Pharoah info in quran, you can look at chapter 10 and research it more.

2) In this verse Allah says that He has preserved the body of Pharaoh as a Sign for the future generations to see, and it was indeed found and is on museums display for everyone to see



(3) The Quran disclosed the fact of the preservation of the body of Pharaoh 2000 years after Pharaoh was drowned. It was new news for the world to know. Then 1300 after revealing the news in the Quran, Allah showed the body of Pharaoh to the world……. So well preserved in the tomb at Thebes in the King’s Valley, Egypt.

back to top

(4) This mummy of Pharaoh was discovered in 1898. Mirza Ghulam Ahmed died in 1908, i.e. 10 years later.




Further the more Prophecies is Quran said the Byzantine empire will be defeated in the lowest land on earth against Persians then rise again and be victorious when it was impossible for them to win during the defeat.

Alif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will be victorious within three to nine years. The affair is Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the believers will rejoice. (Qur'an, 30:1-4)


Another statement made is the geographical place The Lowest Land on Earth. Indeed it is referring to dead Sea where they were defeated by Persians in 613, and Dead Sea is the lowest land on earth if you google. Historically Byantines were defeated there, but how did the Prophet know that Dead sea is the lowest land on earth, no techno's back then to measure.

The rilles on the moon are referred to the crack mark/moon split, scientist have made this statement that moon was once split in halve and rejoined, and can you believe this split was prophecised in the koran 1400 years ago, the prophet performed this miracle as stated in the quran to confirm his prophethood, there were several witnesses even a hindu king of india, he wrote a letter which exist in india's official library, this proves Islam is the true religion and Quran was revealed by Allah.

one of the miracles of prophet Mohammed PBUH was the splitting of the moon.Some polytheists asked the prophet PBUH to split the moon if he is telling them the truth and he is the messenger of Allah. They were trying to ask for something impossible to improve what they believe. The prophet Mohammed supplicated to Allah to split the moon, and this is what happened!Polytheists could not believe their eyes. Some of them realized at that moment that prophet Mohammed is the messenger of Allah and became Muslims. Some others said that this is some type of magic and they will not believe in Islam. They asked the convoy arrived to Mecca after few days if they could see the split moon, and they assured them of this, so they realized this is not a magic since magic would effect people with the magician but not that far!


If the moon was really split it must be reunited! And you must have a protrusion just like in plastic surgery!

The mission of Apollo 10 took several photos of a trench that surrounds the moon from passing by both poles! And guess what! the only explanation for this trench was that "Moon was split at a late stage of its age then reunited"…

To read about this trench which is called "Lunar Rille" write the previous name in the search box in the web site of NASA.

Look up at the nasa pictures. there will be line right along the whole centre as if it was cut before. There are ancients records of the sighting as far as in India. And it was not that the people thought the lunar phases to be something, as it goes, - one half was seen on this side of the mountion and the other on the another half.

According to this website

Sinuous rilles are now thought to be remnants of ancient lava flows, but the origins of arcuate and linear rilles are still a topic of research.

I do know a number of others, so I hope to consult them and return to this

NASA official record show that the apollo 11 mission was completed when they left the moon at a universal time of 1:54:01 or international time 17:54:01, the link to this is there. http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/i...1/a11facts.htm

[54:1] The Hour has come closer, and the moon has split/cleft assunder.

Notice the chapter and verse number exactly is the same as that of when the mission was completed. The miracle was peformed in chapter 54, verse 1, and the prophecy was fulfilled at the time 1:54:01 when they left the moon.

More information about Rilles can be found here

Straight rilles follow long, linear paths and are believed to be grabens, sections of the crust that have sunk between two parallel faults. These can be readily identified when they pass through craters or mountain ranges.

Precise formation mechanisms of rilles have yet to be determined. It is likely that different types formed by different processes. Common features shared by lunar rilles and similar structures on other bodies suggest that common causative mechanisms operate widely in the solar system. Leading theories include lava channels, collapsed lava tubes, near-surface dike intrusion, subsidence of lava-covered basin and crater floors, and tectonic extension.

No splitting of moons is required.

Do not have time to have a look at it in detail right now, but here is an article about the geology of the Moon
