Scientific Precision in the Sunnah By Professsor Z El-Naggar

A book drawing upon the Hadith and Quran showing the advanced scientific knowledge in Islam. Currently, man has taken unprecedented steps towards gaining material knowledge, and has become acquainted with the universe, its components, phenomena, and laws. Such knowledge has dazzled man, and immersed him completely in worldly affairs and deviated him away from religion, being overwhelmed by the technical and scientific achievements of the time. Knowing that man will reach such a stage in his history on Earth, Allah has provided both the Glorious Qur’an and the Sunnah of the final Prophet with a number of scientific facts that can testify to the divine nature of that book and the correct Prophethood of Muhammad (p.b.u.h.).
