Admiration for the scientific insights found in the Quran
There have been several scientists and scholars throughout history who have expressed admiration for the scientific insights found in the Quran. While not all of these individuals accepted Islam, many acknowledged that the Quran’s verses seemed to align with scientific discoveries, leading them to make thought-provoking statements. Here are a few notable scientists and their respective statements:
 1. **Maurice Bucaille (1920–1998)**
   - **Field**: Physician, author
   - **Statement**: Bucaille is famous for his book *The Bible, The Quran, and Science*, in which he concluded that there is a surprising compatibility between certain verses in the Quran and modern scientific knowledge. He wrote, “It is inconceivable that a human being living in the seventh century A.D. could have made statements concerning scientific phenomena only discovered in modern times.”
   - **Impact**: Bucaille's studies led him to convert to Islam, and he spent his life sharing his perspectives on the harmony between science and the Quran.
 2. **Dr. Keith L. Moore**
   - **Field**: Embryologist
   - **Statement**: After studying the descriptions of embryology in the Quran, Dr. Moore, one of the world’s most prominent embryologists, noted, “It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God.”
   - **Impact**: Although he did not formally convert, Dr. Moore acknowledged that the embryological details in the Quran were incredibly accurate and ahead of their time.
 3. **Dr. Tejatat Tejasen**
   - **Field**: Professor of Anatomy
   - **Statement**: While studying Islamic texts, Dr. Tejasen was struck by the description of pain receptors in the Quran. He remarked, “I believe that everything mentioned in the Quran 1,400 years ago must be true, as it can be proven by scientific means.” Following his studies, he publicly embraced Islam.
   - **Impact**: Dr. Tejasen converted to Islam and often cited his research into the Quran’s alignment with science as a significant factor in his decision.
4. **Dr. William W. Hay**
   - **Field**: Marine scientist and oceanographer
   - **Statement**: After reviewing Quranic verses related to the separation of seas, Dr. Hay stated, “I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from.”
   - **Impact**: Though he did not convert, Dr. Hay recognized the Quran’s verses on natural phenomena as intriguing and seemingly scientifically sound.
5. **Professor Alfred Kroner**
   - **Field**: Geology
   - **Statement**: After studying references to the Earth's formation in the Quran, Dr. Kroner remarked, “Thinking about many of these questions and thinking where Muhammad came from...I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case.”
   - **Impact**: Kroner did not accept Islam but was astounded by the scientific implications of Quranic verses.
These statements and studies reflect how scientific minds have been intrigued by the Quran’s content. While not all converted to Islam, many scientists have expressed that the Quran contains knowledge that aligns with, or even anticipates, modern scientific discoveries.
Allah Subhanahoo wa'ta Aala mentions in the Qur'aan:
[al-Fath, 48:28]

ہُوَ الَّذِیۡۤ اَرۡسَلَ رَسُوۡلَہٗ بِالۡہُدٰی وَ دِیۡنِ الۡحَقِّ لِیُظۡہِرَہٗ عَلَی الدِّیۡنِ کُلِّہٖ ؕ وَ کَفٰی بِاللّٰہِ شَہِیۡدًا
﴿ؕ۲۸﴾

He is the One Who sent His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) with guidance and the Din (Religion) of truth to make it prevail over all other religions. And Allah is Sufficient as a witness (to the truthfulness and veracity of the Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him]).
