The historical events in the Quran
The historical events in the Quran This article is adapted from The Mystery Of The Historical Jesus: The Messiah in the Qur’an, the Bible, and Historical Sources Those who are familiar with the style of the Bible get surprised, and even baffled, when they read a translation of the Qur’an. Unlike the Bible which addresses most issues in the context of relating history, the Qur’an is not a history book. Although it contains historical stories about righteous and sinful individuals and nations, these are very limited. Additionally, the Qur’an has a unique style even in relating history. Understanding this aspect of the Qur’an is vital when studying its historical accounts. This short appendix should be particularly useful to the reader who is not familiar with the Qur’an or expects the Qur’an to have a similar style to other religious or historical texts, such as the Bible. One attribute that characterizes the Qur’anic text in general and appears in different forms is succinct...
The primary and main source of true history-The Quran is miracle in itself.

The miracles of the Holy Quran: Description and livelihood of various animals like bees, ant, spider, cows, birds and others.
In this busy and fast paced world we live in, sometimes I struggle to be able to find that illusive ‘connection’ with God, but you don’t need to look far to be stunned by His exceptional design of creation to be able to recognise and witness his majesty. This three part piece, starting with the humble bee, seeks to look at the fascinating design of three animals. Animals after which chapters in the holy Quran are named; the bee, the ant and the spider. Unlike other chapters, such as the cow or elephant – in which the animal plays a minor role in a much more poignant central story, the three I want to explore are more cryptic titles of chapters. There must be something special therefore about each of these animals, and for me, nature is a perfect way to stimulate my mind and ponder about God.
