Abstract

In this article, examples of Scientific miracles of the Qur'an which have been unknown before man's access to them, e.g., production of milk through blood and dung of animals, are reviewed. The Qura'n has, in verse 66 of sura Nahl, mentioned this point and considers it as a source of admonition. The artical first explains some terms of this verse and then  gives its general meaning, and finally answers some questions asked about the verse, with reference to biology. In line with the latter, the article explains the way food is digested and absorbed in stomach and blood circulation, and that the milk is  produced upon transformations occuring inside the body. In the end, it reviews tafsirs by interpreters of the verse and the viewpoints of the early sources on this topic.
