Miracle: 1 (Earth is shrinking from its borders)
Miracle-1:اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّا نَاۡتِى الۡاَرۡضَ نَـنۡقُصُهَا مِنۡ اَطۡرَافِهَا ؕ وَ
Surah Ar-Ra’d (Chapter 13) verse 41
اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اَنَّا نَاۡتِى الۡاَرۡضَ نَـنۡقُصُهَا مِنۡ اَطۡرَافِهَا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَحۡكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكۡمِهٖؕ وَهُوَ سَرِيۡعُ الۡحِسَابِ ﴿۴۱﴾
کیا وہ نہیں دیکھ رہے کہ ہم زمین کو اطراف سے گھٹاتے چلے جا رہے ہیں، اور اللہ ہی حکم فرماتا ہے کوئی بھی اس کے حکم کو ردّ کرنے والا نہیں، اور وہ حساب جلد لینے والا ہے
(13-41)
Do they not see that We are persistently reducing the earth from its outlying borders?
And Allah is the One Who decrees; there is none who can undo His decree. And He is Swift in calling to account.
Earth is shrinking (Scientific evidence)
“The Earth is losing weight,” said Thomas Moore, a Goddard space physicist who specializes in atmospheric escape. “There have been enough observations to know that anywhere from a hundred to several hundred tons of atmosphere are going into space every day.”
https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/to-image-leaky-atmosphere-nasa-rocket-team-heads-north/
Using satellite data, scientists have estimated the rate of atmospheric escape. "It's something like 82,700 tons (75,000 metric tons)" Gronoff said. That means Earth is losing about 66,100 tons (60,000 metric tons) per year."
The atmosphere — is shrinking, according to Guillaume Gronoff, a senior research scientist who studies atmospheric escape at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia.
Earth loosing mass by atmosphere leakage:
Our planet is losing about 17 million kilograms (37 million pounds) of mass per year (mainly from its atmosphere).
https://www.universal-sci.com/article/earth-losing-and-gaining-mass
Taking into account the gains and the losses, Dr Smith reckons the Earth is getting about 50,000 tonnes lighter a year.
NASA reports about shrinking atmosphere:
Combined data from three NASA satellites have produced a long-term record that reveals the mesosphere, the layer of the atmosphere 30 to 50 miles above the surface, is cooling and contracting.
Miracle: 2 (ORIGION of LIFE from water & BIG Bang)
اَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ کَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰہُمَا ؕ وَ جَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّ ؕ اَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۳۰﴾ ((Al-Ambiya’, 21 : 30)
30. اور کیا کافر لوگوں نے نہیں دیکھا کہ جملہ آسمانی کائنات اور زمین (سب) ایک اکائی کی شکل میں جڑے ہوئے تھے پس ہم نے ان کو پھاڑ کر جدا کر دیا، اور ہم نے ہر پیکرِ حیات کی نمود پانی سے کی، تو کیا وہ ایمان نہیں لاتےo
اَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ کَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰہُمَا ؕ وَ جَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّ ؕ اَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ﴿۳۰﴾ ((Al-Ambiya’, 21 : 30)
21-30. And have the disbelievers not seen that the whole heaven and the earth were joined together as one unit, and then We split them apart? And We originated all the living organism from water. So do they not accept faith?

What exactly is dark energy?
The short answer is: We don't know. But we do know that it exists, it’s making the universe expand at an accelerating rate, and approximately 68.3 to 70% of the universe is dark energy.
Astronomer Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding in 1929 using observations made by his associate, astronomer Milton Humason. Humason measured the redshift of spiral galaxies. They compared the distances of these galaxies to their redshift and tracked how the farther away an object is, the bigger its redshift and the faster it is moving away from us.
Indeed at school we were told that the Universe was expanding, but that the gravity of all matter in the Universe would cause that expansion to slow down and reverse. Leading to an end-of-Universe scenario known as the 'big crunch'.
Now we know that the expansion of the Universe isn't slowing down. It's speeding up. We call the unknown force behind this acceleration dark energy.

Miracle:4 (Iron was sent down from space Surah Hadid-57-25)
لَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالۡبَیِّنٰتِ وَ اَنۡزَلۡنَا مَعَہُمُ الۡکِتٰبَ وَ الۡمِیۡزَانَ لِیَقُوۡمَ النَّاسُ بِالۡقِسۡطِ ۚ وَ اَنۡزَلۡنَا الۡحَدِیۡدَ فِیۡہِ بَاۡسٌ شَدِیۡدٌ وَّ مَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَ لِیَعۡلَمَ اللّٰہُ مَنۡ یَّنۡصُرُہٗ وَ رُسُلَہٗ بِالۡغَیۡبِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ قَوِیٌّ عَزِیۡزٌ ﴿٪۲۵﴾
25. بیشک ہم نے اپنے رسولوں کو واضح نشانیوں کے ساتھ بھیجا اور ہم نے اُن کے ساتھ کتاب اور میزانِ عدل نازل فرمائی تاکہ لوگ انصاف پر قائم ہو سکیں، اور ہم نے لوہا نازل کیا اس میں سخت قوّت اور لوگوں کے لئے فوائد ہیں تاکہ اللہ ظاہر کر دے کہ کون اُس کی اور اُس کے رسولوں کی (یعنی دینِ اسلام کی) بِن دیکھے مدد کرتا ہے، بیشک اللہ (خود ہی) بڑی قوت والا بڑے غلبہ والا ہےo
قَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالۡبَیِّنٰتِ وَ اَنۡزَلۡنَا مَعَہُمُ الۡکِتٰبَ وَ الۡمِیۡزَانَ لِیَقُوۡمَ النَّاسُ بِالۡقِسۡطِ ۚ وَ اَنۡزَلۡنَا الۡحَدِیۡدَ فِیۡہِ بَاۡسٌ شَدِیۡدٌ وَّ مَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَ لِیَعۡلَمَ اللّٰہُ مَنۡ یَّنۡصُرُہٗ وَ رُسُلَہٗ بِالۡغَیۡبِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ قَوِیٌّ عَزِیۡزٌ ﴿٪۲۵﴾
25. Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance ˹of justice˺ so that people may administer justice. And We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity, and means for Allah to prove who ˹is willing to˺ stand up for Him and His messengers without seeing Him. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.
How Iron was sent down on earth?
Supernova Explosions
By scientific standards, the origin of iron is one of the most violent processes imaginable. A type of star known as a red giant begins to turn all of its helium into carbon and oxygen atoms. Those atoms then begin to turn into iron atoms, the heaviest type of atom a star can produce. When most of a star's atoms become iron atoms, it becomes what is known as a supernova. It explodes, showering space with iron, oxygen and carbon atoms far and wide.
From here, gravity takes over, forming the atoms into planets such as Earth.
Miracle:5 (Moon radiates light and energy)
Miracle-2: ( وَجَعَلَ الۡقَمَرَ فِيۡهِنَّ نُوۡرًاۙ وَّجَعَلَ الشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجًا )
Surah Nuh (Chapter 71) verse 16
16. اور اس نے ان میں چاند کو روشن کیا اور اس نے سورج کو چراغ بنایاo
16. And He brightened in them the moon and made the sun a radiant lamp.
Surah Yunus (Chapter 10) verse 5
هُوَ الَّذِىۡ جَعَلَ الشَّمۡسَ ضِيَآءً وَّالۡقَمَرَ نُوۡرًا وَّقَدَّرَهٗ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعۡلَمُوۡا عَدَدَ السِّنِيۡنَ وَالۡحِسَابَؕ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّۚ يُفَصِّلُ الۡاٰيٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ يَّعۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۵﴾
وہی تو ہے جس نے سورج کو روشن اور چاند کو منور بنایا اور چاند کی منزلیں مقرر کیں تاکہ تم برسوں کا شمار اور (کاموں کا) حساب معلوم کرو۔ یہ (سب کچھ) خدا نے تدبیر سے پیدا کیا ہے۔ سمجھنے والوں کے لیے وہ اپنی آیاتیں کھول کھول کر بیان فرماتا ہے ﴿۵﴾
(10-5) He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge
Moon emits its own light (Scientific evidence)
One of the brightest objects in the night sky is the moon. Interestingly enough, the moon does not emit light in the visible spectrum. Instead, the moon emits infrared light and gamma rays
https://www.universetoday.com/117625/moonlight-is-a-many-splendored-thing/
and
Moon outshines sun in gamma rays:
If you could see gamma rays - photons with a million or more times the energy of visible light - the Moon would appear brighter than the Sun! The startling notion is demonstrated by this image of the Moon from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) in orbit on NASA's Compton Gamma Rays Observatory from April 1991 to June 2000

Surah At Tur 52 : 6
﴿وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ﴾ [ التكوير: 6] 81:6 And when the seas are filled with flame

اور جب سمندر بھڑکا دیے جائیں گے ﴿۶﴾
And when the seas shall become as blazing Fire or shall overflow; ﴾81-6﴿
Scientific Evidence of Oceans on fire
80% active volcanoes are under water
Scientists believe that 80 percent of the volcanic eruptions on Earth take place in the ocean. Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep, and difficult to find. But in May of 2009, scientists captured the deepest ocean eruption ever found.
Nearly 4000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean – in an area between Samoa, Fiji and Tonga - the West Mata volcano was discovered. The explosions of molten rock were spectacular. This volcano was producing Boninite lavas – believed to be among the hottest erupting on Earth. Scientists also witnessed molten lava flowing across the deep-ocean sea floor and spotted shrimp living near the volcano’s most active areas.
This research allows us to closely examine how ocean islands and undersea volcanoes are born. It may also shed light on how heat and matter transfer from the interior of the Earth to the surface, and how life adapts to some of the harshest conditions on our planet.
Finding West Mata was a huge break for scientists and for those interested in seeing what takes place in the deepest depths of our ocean.

Miracle:7 (Mosquito AND MITE ABOVE IT (Surah Al-Bakara 2-26)
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا مَثَلاً يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلاَّ الْفَاسِقِينَ- البقرة: 2:26)
Behold, God does not disdain to propound a parable of a mosquito, and of what is above it, Now, as for those who have attained to faith, they know that it is the truth from their Sustainer – whereas those who are bent on denying the truth say, “What could God mean by this parable? In this way does He cause many a one to go astray, just as He guides many a one aright: but none does He cause thereby to go astray save the iniquitous.” Surah al Baqra, 2:26
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلاً مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا مَثَلاً يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلاَّ الْفَاسِقِينَ- البقرة: 2:26)
بے شک الله نہیں شرماتا اس بات سے کہ کوئی مثال بیان کرے مچھر کی یا اس چیز کی جو اس کے اوپر ہے سو جو لوگ مومن ہیں وہ اسے اپنے رب کی طرف سے صحیح جانتے ہیں اور جو کافر ہیں سو کہتے ہیں الله کا اس مثال سے کیا مطلب ہے الله اس مثال سے بہتوں کو گمراہ کرتا ہے اور بہتوں کو اس سے ہدایت کرتا ہے اوراس سے گمراہ تو بدکاروں ہی کو کیا کرتا ہے (2-26)
Miracle of Mosquito & Mite
A survey of mosquitoes in Pennsylvania discovered 12 mosquitoes parasitized by larval mites, such as this Aedes japonicus with a larval mite (red) attached to its head. (Photo credit: Michael Hutchinson)
https://entomologytoday.org/2018/07/30/water-mites-mosquito-parasites-pennsylvania/
There are approximately 5,000 described species of water mites worldwide.
When feeding, mites grasp their prey and use specialized piercing mouthparts to puncture their food and suck the juices out.
Beyond the lack of knowledge about water mite biodiversity, studies on their life history strategies are also lacking, with virtually all previous reports of water mite diets based on laboratory observations. Water mites have a complex life cycle that has co-evolved with important freshwater insect groups, especially Diptera, including mosquitoes and midges, which have frequently, though not exclusively, been identified as water mite prey.
Miracle of mosquito and its mite
If we further consider the creation of a mosquito, we realize the infinite power of Allah. Consider the anatomy of a mosquito’s eye. A mosquito’s eye is a complex structure that HAS AN INFRARED VISION. Here are some of the key components of a mosquito’s eye:
- Compound Eye: Mosquitoes have two large compound eyes, one on each side of their head. Each compound eye is made up of thousands of tiny lenses called ommatidia, which work together to form a mosaic image of the mosquito’s environment.
- Cornea: The outermost part of the mosquito’s eye is the cornea, a clear, protective layer that covers the surface of the eye and helps to focus incoming light.
- Lens: The lens of the mosquito’s eye is located behind the cornea and helps to focus incoming light onto the retina.
- Retina: The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive cells located at the back of the mosquito’s eye. When light hits the retina, it triggers a series of chemical reactions that generate electrical signals, which are sent to the mosquito’s brain.
- Optic Nerve: The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the retina to the brain. It carries the electrical signals generated by the retina to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted as visual information.

Miracle:8 (OCeans don't mix(Furqan 25-53,AR-Rahman 55-19,20)
مَرَجَ الۡبَحۡرَیۡنِ یَلۡتَقِیٰنِ ﴿ۙ۱۹﴾بَیۡنَہُمَا بَرۡزَخٌ لَّا یَبۡغِیٰنِ ﴿ۚ۲۰﴾
19. اسی نے دو سمندر رواں کئے جو باہم مل جاتے ہیںo
20. اُن دونوں کے درمیان ایک آڑ ہے وہ (اپنی اپنی) حد سے تجاوز نہیں کرسکتےo
55-19. He is the One Who has made the two seas flow that join each other.
55-20. There is a barrier between them; they cannot breach
وَ ہُوَ الَّذِیۡ مَرَجَ الۡبَحۡرَیۡنِ ہٰذَا عَذۡبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَّ ہٰذَا مِلۡحٌ اُجَاجٌ ۚ وَ جَعَلَ بَیۡنَہُمَا بَرۡزَخًا وَّ حِجۡرًا مَّحۡجُوۡرًا ﴿۵۳﴾
25-53. اور وہی ہے جس نے دوسمندروں کو ملا دیا۔ یہ میٹھا نہایت شیریں ہے اور یہ کھاری نہایت تلخ ہے۔ اور اس نے ان دونوں کے درمیان ایک پردہ اور مضبوط رکاوٹ بنا دیo
25-53. And He is the One Who merges the two bodies of water: , this very sweet and freshening and that very salty and bitter. And He set a barrier and a strong partition between them.
(al-Furqan, 25 : 53)
Scientific Evidence: Where Oceans don't mix
Does the boundary separating the ocean waters really exist?
The boundary between ocean waters is one of the most fascinating and unusual phenomena in nature. It is a place where the waters of two oceans with different properties meet, but do not mix with each other. One of the best-known examples of this phenomenon is the contact zone between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In the Gulf of Alaska, the ocean waters meet, but do not cross the line of contact. This is where the real limit exists. This is a completely natural phenomenon, although rare.
NASA/ADS
The surface of the Pacific Ocean stands about 40 cm higher than the Atlantic Ocean with respect to the 1000-decibar surface, and the North Atlantic and North Pacific stand respectively about 14 and 17 cm higher than the South Atlantic and Pacific. The North Atlantic is warmest and saltiest, the South Atlantic is coldest and densest, and the North Pacific is least dense and least salty. The extreme values in temperature and salinity of the North Atlantic are probably related to the formation of the deep water there, which carries away from the upper layer the cold water of relatively low salinity. If this water spreads into the South Atlantic at depth and is replaced with warm saline surface water from the South Atlantic via the South Equatorial Current and the Gulf Stream, then the South Atlantic should be substantially cooler and less salty. The difference in density and sea level of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans may stem from the difference in latitude of the southern tips of America, Africa, and Australia, and the constriction of the west wind drift at Drake Strait.
