A Moving Leaf

When we travel to a forest, mountain, or a village there are still a lot of trees, of course we will not loose sight of trees, grass, leaves, and other natural phenomena. The following story is a true story witnessed by Ustadz Sharif Suhendar and Saeful Rohman (Master SAE) when traveling to one location in Rancaupas Bandung West Java Indonesia.

They watched a leaf that does not stop moving even though there was no wind. This is different from other leaves that only move when there was a breeze that touches the leaves. The leaf could also be held for a while, but after being released, the leaf is moving back to normal (moving on without stopping).

Although no direct research on this incident but based on modern science, it can certainly be a normal phenomenon just like the theory of aero dynamics. A Muslim may claim that it is (a moving leaf) is one of power and miracles of God, but only within reasonable limits as a form of self-introspection of obedience to Allah. Do not let this incident make calamity by making the leaf as offerings or by performing special worship and prayer around the leaf.

A Muslim must make natural phenomena like that to further examine the science to support, develop, and improve the technology without leaving obedience to God.

Fresh Water in Ocean Depth

One of the nature of the oceans that scientists recently found have been revealed in one verse of the Holy Quran (QS-Ar-Rahman: 19-20) as follows : He let the two seas flow, both the meet, (but) between them, there is a limit which can not be passed by each. Nature of this sea, namely meet each other, but not mixed with each other at all, just found by expert sea. Because the style of physics called "surface tension", waters in the sea close together will not be mixed. Because of the differences caused by the thickness of water, the voltage prevent the surface ocean are both mixed with each other, as if have thin walls in between them. Interestingly, in the period when people do not have any knowledge physics, surface tension or the ocean experts, this knowledge has been revealed in the Holy Quran. Fresh Water in Ocean Depth By: Ir. H. Bambang Pranggono, MBA. He (Allah) let the two seas (adjoining), who is fresh fresh again and the other salty more bitter, and He...

Functions of The Mountains

The holy Qur'an directs our attention to the important geological function of mountains. And We have placed on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with them, and We placed therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be guided (Quran Sura Al-Anbiya : 31) As can be seen, it is stated in the verse that mountains work to prevent turbulence in the Earth's surface . This fact was not known by anyone at the time when the Qur'an was revealed. In fact, they have recently been revealed as a result of discoveries of modern geology. According to this invention, the mountains appear as a result of the movement and collisions of massive plates forming the earth's crust. When two plates collide, the stronger plates slipped under the other plate, while the one above the fold and form a plateau and mountains. Bottom layer moves under the surface and form a deep extension downward. This means that the mountain has a part that stuck far down that i...
