around him. Dr. Bucaille wrote, “I could not find a single error in the Quran.” 100 As<br />

a result of his findings, he left Christianity and embraced Islam.<br />

18.3 Clarity<br />

Allah is the Most Compassionate. He therefore guides people through clear and<br />

simple revelations that are free of myths, superstitions and mysteries.<br />

18.4 Scientific validity and accuracy<br />

It is not surprising <strong>to</strong> find in the Quran, and in the statements of Prophet<br />

Muhammad (bpuh), information that has only recently <strong>be</strong>en discovered by modern<br />

science. This indicates that the Quran is the word of Allah and that Muhammad<br />

(bpuh) is His messenger. On the other hand, the religious views which the church<br />

presented concerning God, the Bible, and the individual’s relation <strong>to</strong> God forced<br />

people in<strong>to</strong> an unfortunate choice: either science or God. Most educated people<br />

have come <strong>to</strong> the conclusion that one cannot <strong>be</strong> a scientist or an educated person<br />

and <strong>be</strong> a true Christian at the same time. Many philosophers and scientists, and the<br />

majority of lay people, have lost hope of reconciling religion and science; thus the<br />

ideology of secularism was developed and has since flourished. This dicho<strong>to</strong>my<br />

would not have arisen if the original scripture that was revealed <strong>to</strong> Jesus (pbuh) had<br />

not <strong>be</strong>en dis<strong>to</strong>rted. Islam, the pure religion, raises no contradiction whatsoever<br />

<strong>be</strong>tween religion and science. This is naturally obvious <strong>be</strong>cause both religion and<br />

true scientific knowledge are from the same source: Allah, the Exalted, who does<br />

not contradict Himself. 101<br />
