Baru-baru ini, saya telah membaca kajian yang telah dibuat oleh Dr Maurice Bucaille, seorang saintis perancis. Walaupun belum habis menelaahnya, saya begitu teruja untuk berkongsi dengan anda tentang penemuan-penemuan Dr Maurice ini tentang Kitab suci Alquran. Bukunya yang bertajuk The Bible, The Quran and Science - THE HOLY SCRIPTURES EXAMINED IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN KNOWLEDGE ini mempunyai kandungan yang sangat bagus untuk dijadikan bukti kepada umat manusia bukan Islam tentang kebenaran yang dibawa oleh Islam. Melalui buku ini, Dr Maurice telah mengkaji Alquran secara menyeluruh(berkaitan saintifik), bermula dengan keaslian Alquran sehinggalah kepada ayat-ayat suci Alquran yang menerangkan tentang kejadian bumi dan alam semesta. Selain itu, beliau juga telah mengkaji tentang kitab Bible dan kesemua version Bible yang ada. Sama seperti Alquran, beliau mengkaji keaslian setiap daripada Bible tersebut terlebih dahulu sebelum meneruskan kajian mengenai sains yang ada dalam kitab-kitab keagamaan tersebut.


Dibawah ini, adalah sedikit pendahuluan yang dipetik dari Dr.Maurice Bucaille dari tulisannya.


"On the 9th of November, 1976, an unusual lecture was given at the French Academy of Medicine. Its title was “Physiological and Embryological data in the Qur’an”. I presented the study based on the existence of certain statements concerning physiology and reproduction in the Qur’an. My reason for presenting this lecture was because it is impossible to explain how a text produced in the seventh century could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times.


For the first time, I spoke to members of a learned medical society on subjects whose basic concepts they all knew well, but I could, just as easily, have pointed out statements of a scientific nature contained in the Qur’an and other subjects to specialists from other disciplines. Astronomers, zoologists, geologists and specialists in the history of the earth would all have been struck, just as forcibly as medical doctors, by the presence in the Qur’an of highly accurate reflections on natural phenomena. These reflections are particularly astonishing when we consider the history of science, and can only lead us to the conclusion that they are a challenge to human explanation.


There is no human work in existence that contains statements as far beyond the level of knowledge of its time as the Qur’an. Scientific opinions comparable to those in the Qur’an are the result of modern knowledge. In the commentaries to translations of the Qur’an that have appeared in European languages, I have only been able to find scattered and vague references to them. Nor do commentators writing in Arabic provide a complete study of the aspects of the Qur’an that deal with scientific matters. This is why the idea of a comprehensive study of the problem appealed to me.


Throughout my research I have constantly tried to remain totally objective. I believe I have succeeded in approaching the study of the Qur’an with the same objectivity that a doctor has when opening a file on a patient. In other words, only by carefully analyzing all the symptoms can one arrive at an accurate diagnosis. I must admit that it was certainly not faith in Islam that first guided my steps, but simply a desire to search for the truth. This is how I see it today. It was mainly the facts which, by the time I had finished my study, led me to see the Qur’an as the divinely-revealed text it really is."


Selepas ini, insyaAllah, saya akan teruskan dengan entry-entry tentang penemuan-penemuan yang telah dibuat sepanjang kajian Dr Maurice ini, terutamanya berkaitan Alquran dan Sains.
