Three Scientific Wonders of the Quran in the Verse “Dahval Arz”

Abstract

In order to face the challenge of recent centuries in connection with the Holy Quran and dogmatic attitudes of some Orientalists about lack of the Quranic verses in the present era, scientists of the Quranic science raised the scientific magic of the Quran to defend the Holy Quran. The verse known as “Dahvalarz” (Naze’at, 30) is among the verses related to this issue. This study is a descriptive library research and shows the three wonders of the Quran about the earth namely “howness of the initial creation, the movement and spherical shape of the earth”. Thus, the meaning of the verse not only implies a theory involving the throwing the Earth from the sun, rotation and transfer as well as the spherical shape of the Earth but also represents the wonders of the eloquence of the Quran in employing the term “dahv” or “spread” indicating references from the Quran which overtake the facts of science.
