Out of over 6,000 verses of Quran, 1,000 speak about science: Zakir Naik

Hundreds of people representing different religious backgrounds across Asian, European and American countries attended Zakir Naik's talk on Quran and Modern Science.

"The Quran was never meant to be a book of science. Instead, its accurate verses direct us to reflect on God's glory," said Naik, renowned orator on Islam and comparative religion.
The event was held at King Fahd Cultural Center in Riyadh on Thursday. It was organized by the World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY), and supported by the volunteers of IRF and WAMY.
Naik, President of India-based Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) and head of Dubai-based Peace TV network, said, "There are more than 6,000 verses in the Quran of which1,000 speak about science."
Quoting some of the verses, Naik presented the accurate description of embryonic developmental stages, how the roots of the mountains are like pegs anchoring the earth's crust, how a natural barrier exists where two oceans meet, waves occur in layers in the ocean's depths and heaven and earth were first joined together before being split apart and that heavens emerged from gases and dust that characterize nebulas as stars are forming which are all as described in the Quran.
