And to Sulayman We gave the fiercely blowing wind, speeding at his command toward the land that We had blessed. And We had full knowledge of everything. (Qur'an, 21:81)

As the above verse relates, Allah placed the wind under Prophet Sulayman's (as) command and allowed him to use it as a vehicle. There is a strong possibility of an indication here that, as in Prophet Sulayman's (as) time, wind energy will also be used in the technology of the future

And We gave Sulayman power over the wind-a month's journey in the morning and a month in the afternoon... (Qur'an, 34:12)

The expression "a month's journey in the morning and a month in the afternoon" may be drawing attention to the fact that Prophet Sulayman (as) moved rapidly between different regions perhaps by using a technology similar to an airplane, or developed wind-powered vehicles that could cover long distances quickly. (Allah knows best.) There is thus a strong possibility that these verses point to modern airplane technology.

^ It is this ridiculous approach which will give an Islam hater a chance to ridicule us. For God sake make it clear to yourself QURAN IS NOT A BOOK OF TECHNOLOGY. There are far sublime things than technology which keep on playing their role in the world, like morality. Morality is one of the subjects of Quran and morality is a far more influential reality than technology. Almost all of the times technology just serves the morality of the one who is using the technology . It is trivial to know what blood group Hitler had and it is further superfluous to talk about Hitler's approach towards technology. The question which counts is " What was the moral standard of Hitler?". The purpose of Quran is to primarily focus on the moral aspects of human beings and morality is deeply grounded in the belief in hereafter. Quran gives a sense inducts a sense of responsibility in a person and a keenness inquiry which will lead a person towards technological inventions but using the verses of Quran by applying such silly extrapolations is a ridiculous approach.

I am not too sure about the technological basis of those verses. However the Quran also metions that Sulayman AS, spoke to an ant, and the earth itself speaks and obeys the command of Allah swt...to materialist unbelievers this sounds like mythical fairy stories to be laughed at or mocked, nothing to do with Science or technology.

Yet for me the verses revealing that an ant and the earth speak, fills me with awe. Everything is alive, even the earth in which we are buried when we die...the material or matter is alive and we are living in a world that is completely misunderstood by materialists, our skin and our fingers will speak in the akhira...death is not the end.

I agree, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan speaks about it here:

Assalam O Alaikum!

The comments posted my you people are so envy, I am really very disappointed

I just posted that article to tell that see how glorious the Quran is ... you will find, medication, solutions, guidance, predictions, miracles .....
But that doesn't mean I am saying Quran a techno-book or having a loose faith and it gets strong by having such stuffs. What would you people call the Islamic Golden Age? What about the Muslims scientists? Open your mind, see the other perspective too.
Anyway why am I wasting my time.
Shame on you people. I could say this only!
I won't come to this forum again.

Allah Hafiz forever!

Bro, listen to the video I posted, you will understand the reason. One cannot just interpret Quran in their own ways (not that you did), take the tafseer of that Ayah and see if it says it relates to aeroplane or not. I don't think so. Listen to the video bro.

[celddiskend]

SERIOUSLY U guys talk so much about uniting the Ummah!?!?!?!?! You can't even properly respond to our Muslim brother. rather than making FUN of him and just HAHA'ing.........how about.. Yeah thats pretty awesome?

[TeapseTic]

We weren't making fun of him. We're just trying to tell him that you can't just incorporate science into every verse of the Qur'an. Yes the Qur'an has some scientific miracles in it, but to try and impose scientific rationale into obscure verses is taking it a bit far. This is what the Kuffar feed of off.

The Qur'an is a book of Guidance, take the guidance, leave the science for the scientists.

kuffar feed off of things like exploding on a person because he made a a little scientific tafsir

[TeapseTic]

He's not a mufassir as far as im concerned.

Tafsir is taken from classical scholars, who took them from the sahaba (ra). You can't just point to any verse of the Qur'an and say, "look this must be talking about asexual reproduction of paramecia" or some nonsense of this sort.

Bro one cannot just 'interpret' Quran according to ones own imaginations. Its haraam.


Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “He who speaks on the Qur’an
without possessing knowledge must assume his seat in the Fire.”
[Ahmed 2069]


It is out of our love for our brother that we all are trying to correct him.

LOL, I just make a new thread about airplanes, flowers, and glasses of water; that deals with this type of silly extrapolation.

it's funny people bashing the Quran about Miraculous Solomon's journey to Istakhr using the help of "wind"

the tafseer of 34:12 from ibn Abbas

(And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind) and We made the wind subservient to Solomon, (whereof the morning course was a month's journey) He would go in the morning from Jerusalem to Istakhr, which was a month's journey (and the evening course a month's journey) and come back in the evening from Istakhr to Jerusalem which was another month's journey, (and We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him) to make of it what whatever he pleased, (and (We gave him) certain of the jinn) and made the jinn subservient to him (who worked before him) by means of magic buildings and other things (by permission of his Lord) by command of his Lord. (And such of them as deviated from) as disobey or rebel against (Our command) with which We commanded them; it is also said that this means: the command of Solomon, (them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming fire) it is also said that an angel hit with a pillar of fire whoever disobeyed among the jinn. so let the kuffar or Munafiqun think these event as fairy tales or jokes, coz at the judgment day -Insha'Allah -it's them who will be the clown

There is one benefit of the thread - we are talking about science.

See there is a great difference between believing in Allah's power and mu'jizat and being munafiqin thinking of these events as fairy tales, a'udhubillah.

As there some difference between believing in mu'jizat and giving "technological" interpretations to those events.
