Where can I learn about the miracles of the quran

Abu Abdullah — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:29:58 +0000

Ever wondered why no one has been able to answer the challenge of Quran: to produce a single Surah like it? Well these websites will help you understand Inshallah. You will learn about Quran’s unmatched unique style, rhetorical techniques, the choice and order of words and much more
Learn about all of the amazing scientific miracles in the Quran. Quran mentions many facts from biology, astronomy and many other fields of science – many of which were discovered recently and weren’t known in the Prophets (SAW) time!
A word of caution: We shouldn’t take these as main evidence for us to believe in Islam but these should be supporting evidences. This is because scientific research keeps on changing over time.
