The Quran is a dynamic book! Since the Quran is the final word of God on earth a
sincere reader of the Quran is blessed by God to explore and find new, riveting
and exhilarating information from it if one looks hard enough. The reader from
the time of Prophet Muhammad would have found Quran relevant to that age, and
the reader from 21st Century would find information from the Quran
relevant from this age. This is the dynamism of the Quran.
Similarly, this article is relevant to this age and one of the many scientific
facts we know today have been confirmed in the Quran and hence the title; Earth
and the Stratosphere. We know today from scientists that our earth has 5 layers
of spheres surrounding us. About 10-30 km above the surface of earth is
Stratosphere. The unique quality of Stratosphere is that it has Ozone gas in it
which protects the creatures on earth from Ultra Violet radiation. If there was
no Ozone gas above us none of us would be alive today. Therefore Stratosphere is
an important layer around the earth and hence the main topic of this article.
This article looks at very ordinary phrase in the Quran, which has been there
for more than 1400 years, without having more to say about it and finds the
relation between this phrase and the Stratosphere around the earth. Please
observe this journey as follows;
Within the Quran there
are 11 occurrences of the verses where the phrase "the heaven and the earth" is
used. We know from the Quran that it is fully detailed; therefore this is our
opportunity to find out if there is a purpose behind these 11 occurrences of
this phrase besides the obvious, which is to describe what the verses are
saying. This article focuses on why and how to unravel this mystery.
Those of you who are not
familiar with all the rules of the refined miracle of 19, here is a point which
requires elaboration. It is to do with group of verses which have similarity
between them. Take the example of the 11 verses where all 11 verses have 1
phrase in common "the heaven and the earth". Let’s say we are interested to
interpret one word in this phrase. Let’s say the word is "heaven". Now the word
"heaven" could mean more than one thing, to more than one person. It could mean
"Paradise" to some, "Sky" to some other and "Universe" to some other. What if it
means only 1 thing for the entire 11 occurrences of this phrase, how is it
possible for a coder to have one plausible solution which encompasses all
occurrences. Besides going to each occurrence of the verse where this phrase
appears and derive a code for that verse. As you can imagine there will be load
of duplication and time spent doing that. We know from (54:17) that the Quran is
easy to learn therefore we should strive to find easier solution. And there is
an easier solution, which has been driven through trial and error and has been
used extensively giving positive result each time. This is part of the refined
miracle of 19 where a situation like this could easily be resolved. All one has
to do is to take the very first verse in the chronological sequence of the
verses where this phrase is mentioned and find the code for that verse. This
code confirms that all the remaining 10 verses with this phrase also mean the
same as this code. Here is application of this method;
So the first occurrence
of the 11 verses where the phrase "the heaven and the earth" is used is (7:96).
However, when you observe the following code you see that (7:95-96) two verses
have been used in the code, rather than the one initially proposed. The reason
for this is because these two verses are joined by "and" therefore they become
part of the code.
Now here is the moment
when inspiration is put into words. I was inspired by God that the interpreted
word for "heaven" should be "Stratosphere". So how do we know if this word is
the correct interpreted word? The answer is that we use refined mathematical
miracle of 19 to prove this fact. In Arabic the English word "Stratosphere" can
be transliterated to Arabic word "satratusafir", with the geometric value of
1417, the code and its breakdown is as follows;
ستراتوسفير
satratusafir
Stratosphere
60 + 400 + 200 + 1 + 400 + 6 + 60 + 80 +
10 + 200 = 1,417
(7:95-96)
(7:95) Then we
substituted peace and prosperity in place of that hardship. But alas, they
turned heedless and said, "It was our parents who experienced that hardship
before prosperity." Consequently, we punished them suddenly when they least
expected.
(7:96) And had the
people of those communities believed and turned righteous, we would have
showered them with blessings from the heaven (Stratosphere) and the earth.
Since they decided to disbelieve, we punished them for what they earned.
1417 + 7 + 95 + 96 =
1615
1615/19=85
The code used here has a
special function, which is to interpret 1 specific word "heaven" in the phrase
"the heaven and the earth". It does not embrace all content of the two verses.
The application code is
the code found when the entities are added as in the example above. This method
of finding code by adding the entities was not uniquely created for this
example. This method has been in existence for many years and has worked very
well with other codes in the Quran.
However, there is a
point to be made here which is that when the code is application code, it
directly corresponds to the grammatical context of the verse or verses used in
that code. Therefore in this example the grammar of the verses are in past
tense. In other words the events in these verses have already taken place and
put into action. Hence the application code matches the verses criteria. Indeed
this is confirmation of the code to be correct.
Semantically speaking
these two verses are setting precedence for newer generation, by previous
examples.
The Level comes first in
the order of verification of codes, because Level is more general approach to
the verification and explanation of the code. The Level in this instance is 3
"Include Missing Information". This is an obvious fact as can be seen by the
reader which is that this code has introduced a new word which was not been
there before, which is "Stratosphere". This word is inclusion to this verse
which was previously missing.
The Position comes next
in the order of verification and explanation of the code. The Position has more
specific approach in understanding the code with reference to the verses. In
this instance the Position is 5 which is "Gift".
Quran stands up to the
scrutiny of modern science at any extent. Stratosphere has a specific function
in reference to earth. It stops extreme amount of harmful ultra violet rays
reaching the earth. If this does not happen than no creature on earth would
survive. This function of Stratosphere culminates into a great gift from God!
All 11 verses has the same phrase,
however one verse has added meaning to it. This is the verse (57:21) where
"heaven" is interpreted as "The Galaxy". This material is covered elsewhere.
