The Amazing Quran

2005م - 1445هـ
One thing which surprises non-Muslims who are examining the book
very closely is that the Quran does not appear to them to be what they
expected. What they assume is that they have an old book which came
fourteen centuries ago from the Arabian desert; and they expect that the
book should look something like that - an old book from the desert. And

then they find out that it does not resemble what they expected at all. Ad-
ditionally, one of the first things that some people assume is that because

it is an old book which comes from the desert, it should talk about the
desert. Well the Quran does talk about the desert - some of its imagery
describes the desert; but it also talks about the sea - what it’s like to be in
a storm on the sea.

Merchant Marine
Some years ago, the story came to us in Toronto about a man who was in
the merchant marine and made his living on the sea. A Muslim gave him
a translation of the Quran to read. The merchant marine knew nothing
about the history of Islam but was interested in reading the Quran. When
he finished reading it, he brought it back to the Muslim and asked, “This
Muhammad, was he a sailor?” He was impressed at how accurately the
Quran describes a storm on a sea. When he was told, “No as a matter

of fact, Muhammad lived in the desert,” that was enough for him. He em-
braced Islam on the spot.

He was so impressed with the Quran’s description because he had been

in a storm on the sea, and he knew that whoever had written that descrip-
tion had also been in a storm on the sea. The description of

“...a wave, over it a wave, over it clouds” (Surah Nur, 24:40)
...was not what someone imagining a storm on a sea to be like would have
written; rather, it was written by someone who knew what a storm on the
sea was like. This is one example of how the Quran is not tied to
certain place and time. Certainly, the scientific ideas expressed in
it also do not seem to originate from the desert fourteen centuries ago.
