Quran's STUNNING Divine

Miracles: [1]
Here are some examples from the 1000s of stunning Numerical and
Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran. Allah Almighty also promised in
several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles
to mankind:

1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513
times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to
Allah Almighty Alone, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names
(Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned
513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this
is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of
Noble Verses.

2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years. Yet,
all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble
Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can
thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.

Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples [1].

Islam also thoroughly rejects as man-made lies the Trinity and Crucifixion
[2]. Jesus was also thoroughly called slave of GOD in both the OT
and NT.

1- Prophet Muhammad's Saying (Hadith) & and the Miracle:
The following is the Hadith in Arabic and my English translation to it:

‫ﺣ د ﺛ ﻧﺎ ﺣ ﺳ ن ﺑ ن ﻋ ﻠ ﻲ ا ﻟ ﺣ ﻠ و ا ﻧ ﻲ ﺣ د ﺛ ﻧﺎ أ ﺑ و ﺗ و ﺑ ﺔ ا ﻟ ر ﺑ ﯾ ﻊ ﺑ ن ﻧﺎ ﻓ ﻊ ﺣ د ﺛ ﻧﺎ ﻣ ﻌﺎ و ﯾ ﺔ‬

Hasan bin Al-Hilwani narrated to us that Abu Tawbah Al-Rabie bin Nafi'a
narrated that Muaawiyah Yaani ibn Salam narrated that Zaid narrated that
he heard Abu Salam said that Abdallah bin Farookh narrated that he heard
Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) say that the Prophet, peace be upon him,
said that every man from the people of Adam (i.e., mankind) was created
on 60 and 300 joints MIFSAL ‫ﻣﻔﺼﻞ‬. So whoever glorifies Allah, praises
Allah, calls people to Allah, makes supplications to Allah, seeks
forgiveness from Allah, removes a stone, needle or bone from the people's
path (i.e., removes obstacles from people's paths), and enjoins what is
just and forbid what is wrong in the number of those 60 and 300 joints
ALSULAMA ‫ اﻟﺴﻼﻣﻰ‬, he will then on that day remove himself from Hell
Fire.

Only a handful of joints are noticeable in the body. The Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, said that there are360 joints
(MIFSAL ‫ﻣﻔﺻل‬, ALSALAMA ‫ )اﻟﺳﻼﻣﻰ‬in the human body. Prophet Muhammad used two words to describe them. Only a handful are
visible to the naked eye (knees, elbows, knuckles, etc...). Yet, it's been scientifically proven that the human body indeed
has 360 joints, and in different types. So the Prophet's use of different words to describe "joints" is also supported
scientifically.

(a)- Ample scientific definitions for mifsal ‫ ﻣﻔﺻل‬and

alsulama ‫اﻟﺳﻼﻣﻰ‬:
Both mifsal and alsalama have broad meanings. Some infidels tried to limit their meanings to only "chains". That is
completely incorrect. The following are some of the meanings of the words:

1- Mifsal ‫ﻣﻔﺻل‬.

From http://baheth.info/all.jsp?term= ‫ ﻣﻔﺻل‬:

‫ﺻل اﻷ َﻋﺿﺎء‬ ِ ‫واﻟَﻣْﻔ‬

ِ ‫ﺻل واﺣد َﻣﻔﺎ‬
.The mifsal is one joint from the body's joints

ِ ‫واﻟَﻣْﻔ‬
‫ﺻ ل ﻛ ل ﻣﻠ ﺗ ﻘ ﻰ ﻋ ظ ﻣ ﯾ ن ﻣ ن ا ﻟ ﺟ ﺳ د‬
.The mifsal is where two bones join in the body

‫ ﻣﺎء اﻟَﻣﻔﺎِﺻل ھﻧﺎ ﺷﻲء ﯾﺳﯾل ﻣن ﺑﯾن اﻟَﻣْﻔِﺻﻠﯾن‬:‫وﻗﯾل‬

.(And it is said: The water of mafasil (plural of mifsal) means it flows from between two mifsalyn (dual plural of mifsal

‫ﺻل َﻣْﻔرق ﻣﺎ ﺑﯾن اﻟﺟﺑل واﻟ ﱠ‬

‫ﺳْﮭل‬ ِ ‫اﻟَﻣْﻔ‬
.The mifsal is cracked or opened path between the mountain and the valley

‫ﺻٌل‬ ِ ‫ وﺑﯾن ُﻛِّل َﻣْﻔ‬،‫ﺻِل‬

ْ ‫ﺻﻠَْﯾِن َو‬ ِ ‫ﺿُﻊ اﻟَﻣْﻔ‬
ِ ‫ َﻣْو‬:‫ﺳِد‬
َ ‫ﻣن اﻟَﺟ‬
.In the body, the location of the mifsal, and between two mifsalyn (dual plural of mifsal) is a link

‫وِﻋْﻘٌد ُﻣﻔَ ﱠ‬
ٌ‫ أي ُﺟِﻌَل ﺑﯾن ﻛِّل ﻟؤﻟؤﺗﯾن َﺧَرَزة‬،‫ﺻٌل‬
.A chain of mifsal is linking pierced pearls with a thread
 َ ‫ﺻل؛ أ َي ھذا ﯾوم ﯾﻔ‬
‫ﺻ ل ﻓ ﯾ ﮫ ﺑ ﯾ ن ا ﻟ ﻣ ﺣ ﺳ ن و ا ﻟ ﻣ ﺳ ﻲ ء و ﯾ ﺟﺎ ز ي ﻛ ل ﺑ ﻌ ﻣ ﻠ ﮫ‬ ْ َ ‫ ھ ذ ا ﯾ و م اﻟ ﻔ‬:‫و ﻗ و ﻟ ﮫ ﻋ ز و ﺟ ل‬
Allah Almighty Said: "This is the Day of Fasl", which means the day when good and evil people are separated, and each will
be judged based on their accomplishments.

So basically, any two entities or things joined together are joined through a mifsal. Mifsal not just limited to
linking two straight bones. There are different types of joints in the human body. See main section #2
below.

2- Alsulama ‫ﺳﻼﻣﻰ‬
ُ ‫اﻟ‬.

From http://baheth.info/all.jsp?term= ‫ﺳﻼﻣﻰ‬

ُ ‫ اﻟ‬:

‫ اﻟَدْﻟُو‬:‫ﺳْﻠُم‬
َ ‫اﻟ‬
Alsulm is a pitcher or container.

َ ‫ واﺣد اﻟ‬:‫ﺳﻠﱠُم‬
‫ ورﺑّﻣﺎ ﺳّﻣﻲ اﻟﻐَْرُز ﺑذﻟك‬،‫ﺳﻼﻟﯾِم اﻟﺗﻲ ﯾُْرﺗ َﻘﻰ ﻋﻠﯾﮭﺎ‬ ‫و اﻟ ﱡ‬
And Alsullam (ladder or stepladder) is one from alsalaalim that one would step on.

‫ﺳﻼﻣﻰ ﻓﻲ اﻷﺻل ﻋظٌم‬

ُ ‫اﻟ‬
.Alsulama is essentially bones

‫ﺳﻼﻣﻰ واﻟﻌَﯾن‬
‫اﻟ ﱡ‬
.(The eye and its container (bone sulama

So basically, alsulama is a broad word that means a bone-container, a pitcher or container, or a step from a chain of
stepladder.

Again, only a handful of joints are noticeable in the body. The Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, said that there are 360
joints (MIFSAL ‫ﻣﻔﺻل‬, ALSALAMA ‫ )اﻟﺳﻼﻣﻰ‬in the human body. Prophet Muhammad used two words to describe them. Only a
handful are visible to the naked eye (knees, elbows, knuckles, etc...). Yet, it's been scientifically proven that the human
body indeed has 360 joints, and in different types. So the Prophet's use of different words to describe "joints" is also
supported scientifically.

We also know that the Glorious Quran is stunningly Miraculous:

Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]

Here are some of my favorite Stunning Numerical and Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran that
are listed in the main sections, below:

1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513
times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual
names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned 513
times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here.

Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).

Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

2- The Great Miracle. Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran called the Number 19 Miracle "One of the
Mighty Ones (Miracles)" (74:30-37) [1] [2]. See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly testify to this
Great Miracle. Also, did you know that Allah Almighty Said in Surat Nuh (that's Noble Chapter Nuh
(Noah)) that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years among his people.

Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is exactly written
in 950 Letters [1] [2]! You can thoroughly see this in the scanned images that thoroughly verify
every single Noble Letter, in the links. Click on the links to see the many other Numerical Miracles
in the Holy Quran. Also, see the Numerical Miracles section along with all of the other great
sections. Also, 1,000s of examples in zip & PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article.

3- 19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA Miracle. The total numerical value of Noble Verses
74:30-37 themselves, which are the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a stunning Miracle in it.
The value of these Noble Verses matches the multiplication of the BASMALA's number of letters (19
Letters) and their total numerical values (115): 19 X 115 = 2185. The Basmala, which full text
in Arabic means "In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful" is the Key to the
Glorious Quran. It is recited first before reading the Holy Quran, and it is also obligatory upon
every Muslim to start with the Basmala before starting any task. Again, 1,000s of examples in zip &
PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article.

4- The Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of those Chapters is 6555 (1+2+...+114 = 6555).
There are also 6236 Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, if you add each Chapter's number
with the number of its Verses, then you get a list of numbers. So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its
Verses) = 8. Do this for all Chapters.

1- The sum of the odd numbers from the list = 6555.

2- The sum of the even numbers from the list = 6236.

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (‫)وردة ﻛﺎﻟﺪﻫﺎن‬." (The
Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 could very well
also be a Divine Promise (Quran-Prophecy) that mankind will
actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space
agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this
Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a
"Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the
look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

The Glorious Quran declares that the earth is

spherical: [1]
Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].

- Is rotating around itself.
- Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
- Is in constant motion.
- Is suspended in space.
- Is swimming in space.
- Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
- The sunsetless North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran [4].

At the top of the North Pole, the sun never sets, and I
showed the video for that, and also quoted the scientific
sources for that. Also in the lands near by, it almost never sets
either, and I quoted sources for that as well, and also showed
pictures of the "polar night" skies on these lands.

He saw the Aurora Lights covering:

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights

covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was
taken up to Heaven:

Narrated Abdullah: "Regarding the Verse: �Indeed he

(Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The
Greatest!� (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen
a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the
sky." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54,
Number 456)

Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"),

Allah Almighty said this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:

‫ ﺣﺘﻰ اذا ﺑﻠﻎ ﻣﻄﻠﻊ اﻟﺸﻤﺲ وﺟﺪﻫﺎ ﺗﻄﻠﻊ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻮم ﻟﻢ‬18:90
‫ﻧ ﺠ ﻌ ﻞ ﻟ ﻬ ﻢ ﻣ ﻦ د وﻧ ﻬﺎ ﺳ ﺘ ﺮ‬

"Until he reached near ‫ ﺣﺘﻰ اذا ﺑﻠﻎ‬where the sun is up

‫ﻣﻄﻠﻊ اﻟﺸﻤﺲ‬, he found it above ‫ وﺟﺪﻫﺎ ﺗﻄﻠﻊ ﻋﻠﻰ‬people
‫ ﻗﻮم‬whom We made no cover for them from it ‫ﻟﻢ ﻧﺠﻌﻞ‬
 ‫ﻟﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ دوﻧﻬﺎ ﺳﺘﺮ‬. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"

Noble Verse(s) 18:91

Rodwell:

[018:091] Thus it was.

And we had full
knowledge of the forces
that were with him.

Arabic (Read from

right to left. Also, all
png image files: [1]
[2]):

‫ ﻛذﻟك وﻗد اﺣطﻧﺎ ﺑﻣﺎ‬18:91

‫ﻟ دﯾ ﮫ ﺧﺑ را‬

Prophet Muhammad "did see" (Quran 53.18) the Aurora Lights

covering the horizons above the earth from space. Dhil-
Qarnayn went up to the farthest northern lands where the sun is
up, and "Thus it was", Allah Almighty completed the "full
knowledge" regarding Dhil-Qarnayn's mission. This further
supports the story below about Dhil-Qarnayn's journey to the
farthest northern lands and people (The sunsetless North
Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke unintelligibly, the Quran
says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have
proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak
unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North,
whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures),
perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian
and other Barbarians in the near by lands:

Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"

Dhil = One who has.

‫ﻗ ﺮﻧﻴ ﻦ‬ Qarnayn = two horns.
Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn).
Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.

I believe Noble Verses 53:18 and 18:91 are prophetically linked

together; that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn
‫ ذي اﻟﻘﺮﻧﻴﻦ‬saw. Also visit:
Aurora Lights Hadith

Other pronunciations to "Dhil Qarnayn"‫ ذي اﻟﻘﺮﻧﻴﻦ‬name:

Zul-qarnain, Dhul Qurnain, Dhu'l Qarnain, Zulqarnain, Dhu'l-
 Qarneyn, Dhu'lkarnein, Dhul-Qarnain, Dhu'l Qarnain, Dhool
Karnain, Zul-Qarnain, Dhoulkarnain.
- The Glorious Quran also speaks about many earths [5] and not just
earth.
- The Glorious Quran predicts 11 planets in our solar system [6].

In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God
leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..."
(74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors".
The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It
contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see
1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:

1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and
others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets'
and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names (Muhammad, Moses,
Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned 513
times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is

2- Medical evidence about the 360 joints:

The following medical websites confirm that the human body does have 360 joints in it:

Article #1:
Indigenous Health Measurement Group meeting in Vancouver, Canada - a PDF file: www.answering-
christianity.com/human_body_has_360_joints.pdf:

"Technically, arthritis is inflammation of a joint. However, the term is used much more generally to describe any pain
producing damage to the joint. Given the large number of joints in the human body (213 bones with about 360 joints), the
number of arthritic problems encountered is large. More than 150 forms of arthritis are already recognised in the literature.
The term �musculoskeletal conditions� includes all disorders associated with bones, muscles and connective tissues of
the body, including arthritis. Monitoring this vast array of conditions is a formidable task."

Article #2:
From http://www.buzzle.com/articles/joints-in-the-body.html:

How Many Joints in the Human Body?

Before we proceed towards the various types of joints in the body, let's start with how many joints there are in total.
There are about 230 and more joints in an average human body! There may be some difference in this number if
compared between a fetus and an adult. You see, a fetus has 300 bones initially but most of them fuse together by
the time of birth. An average adult has about 206 bones in total. Coming back to the number of joints, the count can
be broken up as follows:-

Distribution of Human Body Joints

Part of the Body Number of Joints
Skull 86
Throat and Neck 6
Thorax 66
Spine and Pelvis 76
Hands, Arms and Fingers 64
Legs, Feet and Toes 62

(86+6+66+76+64+62 = 360)
Types of Joints in the Human Body

Joints can be classified in accordance with various bases such as type of movement imparted, functions, structure,
etc. Let's take a look at these various types of joints and their different classifications.

Classification According to Movement Imparted

Ball and Socket Joints (shoulders and hips)

Hinge Joints (knees and ulna of the elbows)
Condyloid Joints (jaw and fingers)
Gliding Joints (spine, wrists and ankles)
Pivot Joints (neck and radius of elbows)
Saddle Joints (thumbs)

Classification According to Structure

Fibrous Joints (sutures, syndesmoses and gomphosis)

Cartilaginous Joints (synchondroses and symphyses)
Synovial Joints (wrist carpals, acromioclavicular joint, elbow area between humerus and ulna, Atlanto-axial
joint, proximal radio-ulnar joint, distal radio-ulnar joint, wrist joint, carpometacarpal thumb joint, Glenohumeral
shoulder joint, hip joint, sternoclavicular joint, knee-joint)

Classification According to Function

Synarthrosis (allow very limited or no mobility such as gomphosis, synostoses and synchondrosis; mostly
fibrous joints.)
Amphiarthrosis (Allow somewhat limited mobility such as symphysis, syndesmosis and interosseous membrane;
mostly cartilaginous joints)
Diarthrosis (enables a wide variety of movements and all synovial joints come under this classification)

Classification According to Anatomical Location

Articulation Joints of the Hands

Wrist Joints
 Elbow Joints
Axillary Shoulder Joints (Glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joints)
Sternoclavicular Joints
Vertebral Articulatory Joints
Sacroiliac Joint of the pelvis
Temporomandibular Joint of the jaw
Articulation Joints of the Feet
Hip Joints
Knee Joints

The anatomical classification of joints can be further sub-classified under simple, compound and complicated joints,
based upon the number of bones involved in each joint and their individual biomechanical properties. For instance, the
lesser bones involved, the simpler the joint is and the more bones involved, the more complex it becomes.

Article #3:
Some Scientists today, Muslims and Westerners, were able to demonstrate and prove that the human body does have 360
joints in it:

Scientific article at eajaz.org: [1, backup] [2, backup]

More Doctors claiming that humans have 360 joints:

"Specialties

There are 206 bones and 360 joints in the human body. At The Bone and Joint Center of Seattle, we're trained in all
of them, but we chose to become experts in a select few - because we believe specialized care is exceptional care.
The Bone and Joint Center is comprised solely of fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeons

Article #7:
By Dr. Zaghloul Al-Naggar:

Every Man has 360 Joint Bones

'A'ishah (A.S.) narrated that the Prophet

(PBUH) said:

"Everyone has been created with three

hundred and sixty Joints. Whoever
mentions Allah's greatness (says Allahu Akbar), praises Allah, extols Allah, and
seeks forgiveness from Allah and removes stones from the path of the people,
enjoins what is good and forbids the evil to the amount of those three hundred
and sixty joints (sulama), he walks on that Day (of Judgment) having distanced
himself from the Hell fire."

Abu Dharr (A.S.) narrated "the Prophet said (PBUH):

"In every morning there is a charitable act on the joints of any of you. Every
tasbihah (to say: subhanallah, i.e. Glory be to Allah) is a charitable act; every
tahmidah (to say: al-hamdu lillah, i.e. Praise be to Allah) is a charitable act, every
tahlilah (to say: la ilaha illallah, i.e. There is none worthy of worship but Allah) is a
charitable act; every takbirah (to say: Allahu akbar, i.e. Allah is the Greatest) is a
charitable act; enjoining the right is a charitable act; forbidding the evil is a
charitable act. However, to fulfill that charity, it is sufficient to pray two rak'at of
Duha."

The word "Sulama" in Arabic refers to the joint. It can be also used for all the
body bones and the joints between them. Most of the body bones are movable,
but some are fixed as those of the skull.

The Explanation of the Hadith

The hadith clearly directs Muslims to be grateful to Allah, the Almighty, Who
dignifies and honors man, over all other creatures, by giving him a straight
upright skeleton. It has been created of a huge number of big and small bones
and cartilage. Between every two bones, there is a joint to enable the bones and
to protect the body's soft parts. These joints enable the person to stand up, sit
down, lie on his side, bend, stretch, etc. Every Muslim who worships Allah,
Glorified be He, must be grateful to Allah for every one of these joints, and offer a
charitable act, in way of gratitude to His Creator, for this great blessing, without
which life would have been impossible.

It is amazing that the Prophet (PBUH) mentioned the number of the body joints
so precisely, at a time when nobody had any idea about human anatomy. Even
now in the 21st century, many people still do not know the number of joints in
their bodies, including many professors of orthopedics. I asked many of them,
and their answer was between 200 and 300 bones, and around 100-300 joints.

Likewise, many international encyclopedias avoid giving an exact number of

bones and joints of the human skeleton by classifying them into major groups or
subdivision. The Encyclopedia Britannica classified them into three subdivisions:

1- The Axial Skeleton: which consists of the bones of the vertebral column and
the majority of the skull bones.

2- The Visceral Skeleton: which consists of the thorax (the ribs and the
breastbones), the lower jaw and some parts of the upper jaw.

3- The Appendicular Skeleton: which consists of the bones of the pelvic girdles,
shoulders and limbs.

The Hatchinson Encyclopedia, published in 1995, mentioned that the number of

bones in a human skeleton is only 206 bones.

In his book titled, "The Journey of Faith inside the Human Body", Dr.Hamid
Ahmed Hamid mentioned that the total number of the human body joints is
exactly 360, as the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stated 1400 years ago.
According to Dr. Hamid, the details of these bones are as follows:
Joints in the human body

First: 147 joints in the vertebral column

25 joints between the vertebrae.

72 joints between the vertebrae and the ribs.

Second: 24 joints in the thorax

2 joints between the bones of the sternum and the thoracic cage.

18 joints between the sternum and the ribs.

2 joints between the clavicle and the scapulae (shoulder blade).

2 joints between the scapulae and the thorax.

Third: 86 joints in the upper extremity

2 joints between the scapular bones.

6 joints between the elbows.

8 joints between the wrists.

70 joints between the hand bones.

Fourth: 92 joints in the lower extremity

2 hip joints.

6 joints between the knee bones.

6 joints between the ankles.

74 joints between the feet bones.

Fifth: 11 joints in the Pelvis

4 joints between the coccyx vertebrae.

6 joints between the bones acetabulm.

1 joint of the pubic sumphysis.

Total number of joints: 360

Those joints, mentioned in the hadith, are the movable joints in the human body,
which give the ability to the vertebral column and hence the whole body to move
freely. The immovable joints, as those joining the skull bones, are not counted
here. The movable ones are also known as "The Synovial joints", for they contain
a fluid known as the "Synonvial fluid". This fluid allows friction-free movement of
the bones by reducing direct contact. For example, the hip joint, composed of a
ball-like head of the femur that fits into a socket-like depression of the pelvis
bone, makes the hip and the whole leg movements easy and flexible. Another
example is the Hinge joint, which enables man to easily bend his leg.

Another type of joints is called "The Gliding joints" as that of the radiocarpal
(wrist) joint. In this joint, the facing bone surfaces are in most cases flat, allowing
the bones to glide freely in several directions. The joint between the two upper
vertebrae has a special structure. It allows the side movement of the head,
through the rotation of the ball-like head of one vertebra into the socket-like
depression of the other vertebra.

Were it not for the joints created by Allah the Almighty, man would not have been
able to move one bone in his body. The defect in one joint causes a lot of pain
and problems.

4- Conclusion:
I find it interesting that Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used different words to describe the human body's 360
joints. Science has shown us that the human body is made of different types of joints. And we've seen above how many
scientists today claim that the human body is made of 360 joints. More importantly, we've also seen above, and also linked
below, the Glorious Quran's stunning Numerical and Scientific Miracles.

Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting
Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings
upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the Aurora

Lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when

The Greatest!� (53.18) That the Prophet had seen
a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the
sky." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book
54, Number 456)

In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray
whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the
Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect
Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the
link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:

1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs
513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets' and Messengers', peace be

2- The Great Miracle. Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran called the Number 19 Miracle "One of the
Mighty Ones (Miracles)" (74:30-37) [1] [2]. See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly testify to this
Great Miracle. Also, did you know that Allah Almighty Said in Surat Nuh (that's Noble Chapter Nuh
(Noah)) that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years among his people.

Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is exactly written
in 950 Letters [1] [2]! You can thoroughly see this in the scanned images that thoroughly verify
every single Noble Letter, in the links. Click on the links to see the many other Numerical Miracles
in the Holy Quran. Also, see the Numerical Miracles section along with all of the other great
sections. Also, 1,000s of examples in zip & PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article.

3- 19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA Miracle. The total numerical value of Noble Verses
74:30-37 themselves, which are the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a stunning Miracle in it.
The value of these Noble Verses matches the multiplication of the BASMALA's number of letters (19
Letters) and their total numerical values (115): 19 X 115 = 2185. The Basmala, which full text
in Arabic means "In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful" is the Key to the
Glorious Quran. It is recited first before reading the Holy Quran, and it is also obligatory upon
every Muslim to start with the Basmala before starting any task. Again, 1,000s of examples in zip &
PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article.

4- The Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of those Chapters is 6555 (1+2+...+114 = 6555).
There are also 6236 Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, if you add each Chapter's number
with the number of its Verses, then you get a list of numbers. So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its
Verses) = 8. Do this for all Chapters.

1- The sum of the odd numbers from the list = 6555.

2- The sum of the even numbers from the list = 6236.

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (‫)وردة ﻛﺎﻟﺪﻫﺎن‬." (The
Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]

As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 could very well
also be a Divine Promise (Quran-Prophecy) that mankind will
actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space
agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this
Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a
"Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the
look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

The Glorious Quran declares that the earth is

spherical: [1]
Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].

- Is rotating around itself.
- Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
- Is in constant motion.
- Is suspended in space.
- Is swimming in space.
- Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
- The sunsetless North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran [4].

At the top of the North Pole, the sun never sets, and I
showed the video for that, and also quoted the scientific
sources for that. Also in the lands near by, it almost never sets
either, and I quoted sources for that as well, and also showed
pictures of the "polar night" skies on these lands.

He saw the Aurora Lights covering:

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights

covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was
taken up to Heaven:

Narrated Abdullah: "Regarding the Verse: �Indeed he

(Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The
Greatest!� (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen
a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the
sky." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54,
Number 456)

Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"),

Allah Almighty said this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:

‫ ﺣﺘﻰ اذا ﺑﻠﻎ ﻣﻄﻠﻊ اﻟﺸﻤﺲ وﺟﺪﻫﺎ ﺗﻄﻠﻊ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻮم ﻟﻢ‬18:90
‫ﻧ ﺠ ﻌ ﻞ ﻟ ﻬ ﻢ ﻣ ﻦ د وﻧ ﻬﺎ ﺳ ﺘ ﺮ‬

"Until he reached near ‫ ﺣﺘﻰ اذا ﺑﻠﻎ‬where the sun is up

‫ﻣﻄﻠﻊ اﻟﺸﻤﺲ‬, he found it above ‫ وﺟﺪﻫﺎ ﺗﻄﻠﻊ ﻋﻠﻰ‬people
‫ ﻗﻮم‬whom We made no cover for them from it ‫ﻟﻢ ﻧﺠﻌﻞ‬
‫ﻟﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ دوﻧﻬﺎ ﺳﺘﺮ‬. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"

Noble Verse(s) 18:91

Rodwell:

[018:091] Thus it was.

And we had full
knowledge of the forces
that were with him.

Arabic (Read from

right to left. Also, all
png image files: [1]
[2]):

‫ ﻛذﻟك وﻗد اﺣطﻧﺎ ﺑﻣﺎ‬18:91

‫ﻟ دﯾ ﮫ ﺧﺑ را‬

Prophet Muhammad "did see" (Quran 53.18) the Aurora Lights

covering the horizons above the earth from space. Dhil-
Qarnayn went up to the farthest northern lands where the sun is
up, and "Thus it was", Allah Almighty completed the "full
knowledge" regarding Dhil-Qarnayn's mission. This further
supports the story below about Dhil-Qarnayn's journey to the
farthest northern lands and people (The sunsetless North
Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke unintelligibly, the Quran
says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have
proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak
unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North,
whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures),
perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian
and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
 Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"

Dhil = One who has.

‫ﻗ ﺮﻧﻴ ﻦ‬ Qarnayn = two horns.
Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn).
Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.

I believe Noble Verses 53:18 and 18:91 are prophetically linked

together; that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn
‫ ذي اﻟﻘﺮﻧﻴﻦ‬saw. Also visit:

Quran's STUNNING Divine
Miracles: [1]
Here are some examples from the 1000s of stunning Numerical and
Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran. Allah Almighty also promised in
several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles
to mankind:

1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513
times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to
Allah Almighty Alone, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names
(Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned
513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this
is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of
Noble Verses.

2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years. Yet,
all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble
Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can
thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
