00:00In 1827, a British botanist named Robert Brown discovered that when rainwater
00:06drops on the ground, the earth vibrates. The particles of the subsurface rock are
00:13stirred, that is, its tiny particles begin a haphazard zigzag motion. This is also
00:21called as the Brownian motion or the haphazard zigzag motion. However, this was
00:27mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago in Surah 22, verse 5, where Allah says,
00:32And you see the earth barren, but we send down water on it, it is stirred, and it
00:39swells and puts forth every lovely kind of growth. This fact of stirring was not
00:46known at the time of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, then how could he
00:49mention the word stirred if it was not God who told him this? As per the
00:55knowledge of the time, Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would have just said,
01:00we send down water and give life to earth instead of using the word stirred.
