(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A seminar on Quran and microbiology was held on December 25 by the branch of the Society for protection of the Quran in Mafraq province in Jordan.

According to Al-Dastoor newspaper, Abdul Hamid Al-Quzat, expert of the International Union of Islamic Medical Societies presented a speech on the theme at the meeting.

Regarding the results of Quranic-scientific studies stressing the scientific miracle of the Divine Word in the field of microbiology, he said: “the miracle was not known by humans since they were not scientifically developed to that extent and the issue has been presented at scientific meetings recently.”

“Based on the verses 38 and 39 of Surah al-Haqqah (So I swear by whatsoever you see and whatsoever you see not) the invisible things can be the microbe while microbiology is a science developed at the 20th century,” he stressed.

He also referred to the verse 36 of Surah Yasin stating that there are microbes which cannot be seen without microscopes and they have male and female characteristics.

He further explained the verse 32 of Surah Nisa which forbids committing fornication, stressing that the scientific facts of the verse regarding the distribution of diseases through the microbes have been approved by today’s scientific studies.
