This research examines the impact of the Qur’an’s scientific miracles on individuals influenced by non-Islamic civilizations, particularly Western and Eastern. It explores how these miracles address misconceptions arising from materialistic, secular, and atheistic thought. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study analyzes Qur’anic verses containing scientific indications, compares them with modern discoveries, and traces scholars’ and thinkers’ reactions in the East and West. Findings show that Qur’anic scientific miracles strongly support the divine origin of revelation, refute the alleged conflict between religion and science, and counter doubts from modernists and secularists. Many Western scientists have recognized their accuracy, with some converting to Islam. In the East, they effectively challenge atheism by presenting rational and empirical arguments. The study recommends developing rigorous methodologies and using Qur’anic scientific miracles for da‘wah and strengthening faith.
ملخص
تبحث هذه الدراسة أثر الإعجاز العلمي في القرآن الكريم على الأفراد المتأثرين بالحضارات غير الإسلامية، خصوصًا الغربية والشرقية، وتستعرض كيف يعالج هذا الإعجاز المفاهيم الخاطئة الناتجة عن الفكر المادي والعلماني والإلحادي. باستخدام المنهج الوصفي والتحليلي، قامت الدراسة بتحليل الآيات القرآنية التي تحتوي على إشارات علمية، ومقارنتها مع الاكتشافات الحديثة، وتتبع ردود العلماء والمفكرين في الشرق والغرب. أظهرت النتائج أن الإعجاز العلمي في القرآن يقدم دليلًا قويًا على أصل الوحي الإلهي، ويدحض الصراع المزعوم بين الدين والعلم، ويواجه شكوك الحداثيين والعلمانيين. وقد أقر العديد من العلماء الغربيين بدقة هذه الإشارات، واعتنق بعضهم الإسلام. في الشرق، أثرت هذه الإشارات بعمق على الفكر الإلحادي من خلال تقديم حجج عقلانية وتجريبية تؤكد انسجام الدين مع العلم. توصي الدراسة بوضع أطر منهجية دقيقة لدراسات الإعجاز العلمي واستخدامه في الدعوة وتعزيز الإيمان.
