I'm still waiting for my apps of scholarships to be responded to. JPA on 29th, which is tomorrow. Insya-Allah, I'll get the chance. Hope to see my friends, especially the new HKL friends I've met at the programme. :D
Petronas is kinda ridiculous, asking for an IE 6.0 and above for its apps. God, I don't have IE on my Mac. Haish. So, ma fan! And they didn't even inform us when will the list be available for checking. Duhhh. And 5 other scholarships. Lolz. It's hard for me to even remember what I've applied for, now, I've to check one by one, everyday. Thank God, I have a small note book that acts as my little reminder. Hahax. :D
Hope to get good news tomorrow. :D Insya-Allah. Amin. :-]

Confidence and Faith in myself.
Seriously, before the programmme started, I was 70-30 about choosing the field of medicine. On the second day, I was losing my faith even more, it was 50-50 already! The third day, the last day, had really made me gain my full faith and confidence back. All thanks to the diabetes consultant (I forgot her name XP). And not forgetting my dad and my friend, Farah! Thanks for helping me regain my confidence and faith back! :D
Now, I am really determine to be a responsible doctor and next an ENT specialist! Like all the doctors said, it's all about giving and not hoping for any rewards. Helping people with your warmest sense of sincerity. Yea, I know doctors have to sacrifice their lives to the patients. But, for the good deeds(pahala) and barakah, I wouldn't regret choosing this path of my life. If only, I don't get scholarships to pursue my studies in this field, I'll accept it as my fate. I'll go with my second choice and third choice : Mechanical Eng and Economics. It's not that I'm indecisive, I have 3 main choices of field that I'm interested in. This is the system I call as, the backup system. In case that I don't have the rezeki to do medicine, I'll do either Econs or Mechanical Eng. FYI, I'm a freak fan of F1 and I love Econs since form 4. Lolz. :D
So, let's hope and pray this 29th of March, I'll get the interview call and next, I get the scholarship. I want to start studying as soon as possible. Miss studying so much! :-]

PPKSD HKL Day 2 & 3.
Sorry for the late update. I was too tired to blog. Lolz.
DAY 2.
My group visited the Pembedahan Am department. Nothing much to see. The surgeon gave us some elaboration on the pathway of becoming a doctor and how LONG it takes to become a specialist. Lolz. He also told us about his experiences during medical school and his housemanship years. After that, Sister Mah gave us a brief story about her children dreams and ambitions.
Next, we went to the forensic department. Fortunately, there were a murder case. An Indian guy was assaulted by 6 persons and a post-mortem had to be carried out. Once we entered the room, I could really smell something strong and it gets stronger as we stayed longer there. Gosh! I won't ever forget that smell, dude! Ewww. Felt like throwing up! There were a couple of medical students doing their practicals, a forensic officer taking pictures, and doctors. First, I saw the brain. Then, the intestine and the lungs. I even saw the tongue attached to something, perhaps the trachea? I'm not sure. The head of forensic was a little fierce, I must say. He should chill a bit. :P
Last trip of the day : Obstetrics & Gynaecology department. Hoping to see babies, unfortunately I didn't get the chance. My group was split into 2 groups, the other half of the group went to the second floor's ward, and I was in the other half of the group who went to the first floor. So, they were lucky to have the chance to see and even, touch the babies there! We were so tired in the end of the day, that we didn't have the strength anymore to ask questions. Lolz.
DAY 3.
We were asked to arrive before 8am, but the thing only starts at about 8.45am. So, we had to gather and stand in the hall for 45 minutes. Lolz. So, on this day, that is our last day of the programme, we went to Outpatient Clinic. In only about 1.30 hours, we visited a lot of the sub-departments in the department. The most interesting one has to be the diabetes care center! The consultant was so nice and friendly. But, we only get to hear her explanations in a short time only. I have to thank her for inspiring me to be strong and teaching me to keep that smile on my face always, although there are some hard times that we had to go through. I can see that she's a very passionate person, and I wish I'll have the chance to talk to her again. :D
We entered the auditorium next. Filled up the feedback form and handed it to the group leader. After that, we were given a break and were told to be back by 2.00pm. After early lunch, my friend and I decided to do our own touring to our favourite departments for awhile. Hehex. I went to the ENT department, trying my luck and hoping that I could watch doctors treating ENT patients. Sadly, I didn't get the permission and was ignored by the MA persons. But, at least, I've tried! :P
My friend was interested in Oncology, so we went to the Radiotherapy & Oncology Department. Apparently, one of the radiotherapist there helped us out and did a bit of his "boring" elaboration on oncology. Lolz. What we wanted to know was just, how does the life of an oncologist is? Duhhh. By the time we head back to the auditorium, I was freaking sleepy already!
The closure of the event was a hilarious one. A lot of fun was in it. Dr. Ding, was fun and so was the speeches from the group leaders. I'll miss you all friends! The day ended with us exchanging fb and numbers. Lolz. :D
Hope to see you guys in the interview session at Putrajaya soon. Hope I'll get it and could get through it. :D
P/S: Sorry, that the pics are limited. This is because, I was too busy going here and there, until I forgot to take photos. :)

JPA's Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor. Day 1.
I took the bus, then the monorail early in the morning to HKL. I had arrived too early perhaps. Hahax. I was sesat for 30 minutes inside the hospital! Lolz. At last, I arrived at the main block and registered at the counter.
We were told to enter the auditorium and have our opening taklimat. Guess, what? I met a couple of hot guys there! Ahahax. Being flirty again. XP! After the introduction of HKL and the speech of the assistant director, we were separated into groups. 6 groups that consists of 30+ people. My group consist of 35 people.
First, we went to the A&E department. The MO, Dr. Azimah was really nice, and shared a lot of her experiences with us. She brought us to the Green Zone (Non-Critical), Yellow Zone (Semi-Critical), and the Red Zone (Critical). When we was in the Yellow Zone, we saw an unconscious woman getting stabilize by the doctors and medical assistants. And, shockingly, we saw and heard a woman screaming in the Yellow Zone Ward. Gosh! We freaked out. Hahax. That's what a doctor's job is, stabilizing emotions of patients. Lolz. So, guys, please don't scream at doctors while you are getting their treatments, put yourself in their condition, and think how you'd feel when people scold you in your face, while you are putting your best in saving lives?
Later, after lunch, we were taken to the orthopedic clinic. Nothing much. Just visited a few orthopedic wards and saw patients with broken hands and legs. Can you imagine seeing people with metal inserted through their femur? OMG! It's so horrific! Ouch, ouch, ouch! >.
Guess who I met? Mr. Umaas! Ahahax. My favourite Add Maths tuition teacher! :D
Hope tomorrow will be more informational than it is today. Tomorrow going to Forensic, O&G, and Pembedahan Am departments. If we are lucky, we might get a chance seeing dead bodies, babies being delivered, and operations being carried. Hehex. :D

5 Days Programme at HKL!
Actually, at first, I didn't even remembered today was the date to check on JPA's update on the Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor. Lolz. Went to McD Ampang Point in the morning, then to CC (Cybercafe), to settle the Petronas scholarship which ends today! Last minute work, don't blame me! Blame this MAC for not having an IE 6.0! Duhhh.
Anyways, one of my friend text me and asked me whether I did get a place for the program. Thanks to her for reminding me! :D I quickly went to JPA's website and checked the name list. Alhamdulillah. The first word I saw in my application list, was TAHNIAH! OMG! So, I downloaded the Surat Panggilan and printed it with all the other stuff. My friend didn't applied for JPA. But, she did applied for MARA, tough. Friends keep asking me, "Why apply for JPA and not MARA?". Hmm, I guess, I just want to try my luck on the best scholarship I could get my hands on. Insya-Allah. I believe, I could get it! :)
Now, I can't wait to attend that 5 days programme at HKL. I came across one of the scholar's blog about the programme's content. We'll get exposure on a Doctor's job in hospitals and a tour will be given to us around the hospital to almost all the departments. By the way, I chose HKL, because it's the biggest government hospital and it has the most complete facilities, compared to new hospitals, like Hospital Ampang. What's more important is, I think, HKL has more daily cases, which could expose me to such environment and help me to decide better in taking up a doctor's career. Hope to see familiar faces there and make some new friends. Who knows, one of them might end up being my roommate (Not a guy, of course!). Hahax. Insya-Allah. :-]

Outings and Hang Outs of the week! :D
Tuesday, 16th of March. Went out with Nab to celebarate her birthday and Geraldine's, her friend. Sunway Pyramid was the venue and we had a lot of fun!
At first, I thought I'll be boring hanging out with my sister's friends, which are younger than me by 3 years gap. It turned out to be an awesome one. Hehex. :D Despite of their young age, I could really see, how mature some of them think and plan stuff. I do feel that some of them will be somebody one day, as a great leader. Hahax. :P
So, they went ice-skating, then archery, after that steamboat. Lolz. I didn't skate, because I knew it will be freaking boring skating alone. Lolz. But, the archery was really a very fun experience, doing something once in a lifetime. Hahax. Now, my biceps muscles are in PAIN! Before that, I went to the arcade center beside TGV, and played my favourite game, car racing! Hahax. I won!!! Hahax. :P
Now move on to another hang out I went to. Hehex.
Went to Times Square yesterday, 17th of March. Hung out with my classmates of 5SB. At first, we wanted to watch Alice in Wonderland. God knows, the tickets for the whole day were sold out, except for 11pm in the night?! Duhhh. So, we decided to change to Confucius. Lolz. We are Confucians, watching Confucius. Hahahax. XD!
I thought the movie were going to be boring, but it turns out to be inspiring and it touched my heart! Tears were running down my cheeks and Teong Geng's too. Not sure whether the boys felt it the moments of sadness from the story. But, honestly, if you don't know even a little bit of China's history, you won't understand the movie much. It's all about philosophies' of Confucius, 孔子, and his experiences before he gave up being involved in the politics. After the movie, we went for a yam cha at OldTown. :D
I think that's enough for the meantime. I'm partially broke already! Lolz. Going to have a vey busy weeks ahead. So, I think I won't be able to do this kinda hang outs more often anymore. Good Luck guys with your future! :D

Apply! Apply! Apply!
So far I've applied for various scholarships. BNM, JPA, Yayasan TM, and Yayasan Khazanah Global. The YTN scholarship I've applied for was immediately rejected after I submitted it. Lolz. I don't know what the system wants. Maybe it has internal network problem. Whatever. Really hope I'll get one of it. Medicine, Mechanical Engineering and Economics. Tthree of the courses interest me much. So, I don't mind getting any one of it. Hehex. Pray for me so that I could further my studies overseas, friends! :D Insya-Allah. Amin.
I would have to do some more applications for UEM, Shell, Petronas, PNB, and I'll give it a shot for Asean Scholarship. Because, it's hard to get an Asean Scholarship! I know that for a fact. Hope you all will give it a try too. Good Luck! Wish me luck too! :D

Scholarships?!
Arghhhh.... This week is a long and tiring week! Finally the SPM results are out! Phewww, what a relief! Alhamdulillah. Amin. Thanks to my family and friends for their prayers! <3 I didn't know why, I did cried a little after getting results. Perhaps, those tears where the hardship tears I've put in during the examination days. No one could ever understand my situation while I was having my exams. That period of time, to me, was the hardest time to go through so far. With all the pressure and problems involving my family back then, it was tough! But, with the help from Allah, my family and my friends, I managed to get through it finally. Maybe that was the tears for. :')
Now, the scholarships are killing me! I'm tired! Wosh! :E!

SPM Results, tomorrow! :S
So, tomorrow's the SPM Results day. SPM 2009 candidates, get ready. This includes me! I'm not sure whether I'm nervous or not. Maybe, I'm in between nervous-chill. Hahax. Tawakal to Allah. What it turns out to be tomorrow, is already fated, destined for me. So, I won't argue much on Allah's decision. Take it and work on it!
Now, I'm really confused about what course to apply for scholarships. As far as I've plan, my options are Medicine/Dentistry, Mechanical/Automotive Engineering, and Economics. So, it all depends on what scholarship I'm applying for. I hope to apply and attend interviews as much as I possibly could. Let's pray and hope for a good results guys and gals. Insya-Allah. Amin. :D
P/S: Hectic days ahead. Have to prepare a lot of stuff upon applications for scholarships.

I Only See You - Benton Paul. Cute Guy+ Great Voice!
That's Benton Paul, third from left. Between Nick and Kevin. :D
In a crowded place, I see just your face
And it looks so familiar
I can’t get to you, though I’m trying to
There are just too many barriers
But I only see you, in all that I do
To the rest I am blind
I don’t want something new, other than you,
For the rest of my life
People talkin’ loud, I can’t hear the crowd
You are so much more appealing
I’ll be honest girl, you’ve become my world
And I’ll spend my life exploring
Cuz I only see you, in all that I do
To the rest I am blind
I don’t want something new, other than you,
For the rest of my life
Promise I’ll always be there for you
If you give me the chance
Promise I’ll never be less than true
And I’ll only see you, in all that I’ll do
To the rest I’ll be blind
I don’t want something new, other than you,
For the rest of my life.

The Freak-Ness iN Me!
Sometimes, I do think I'm a freak! Yeah, I'm a freak exactly right now. My freaky emotions, my freaky thoughts and my freaky obsessions!
There were times, when I feel no one cares about me. I'm living in my own world. Duhhh. No one to share bad moments, no one to listen to my problems. And bla, bla, bla. Honestly, I don't really have a very very close friend to share everything about me. Maybe, it's because I'm a person who doesn't trust people 100%. So, I've an issue with my trust. Lolz. But, but. I do have my sisters to share stories with, and my mum too! I would say, they are my best friend ever! <3 They are the persons I'd share every secret with. They are the persons I'd trust the most. They are the persons I'd love forever! <3
Okay. Back to the freaky me. Lolz. Sometimes, I feel my friends don't really consider me as their best friend at all, not like what they had said. It's all just a lie. Now, I really don't care about them. I'd love to be selfish for a while. :P

Official SPM Date!
KUALA LUMPUR: The results of the 2009 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) examinations will be announced next Thursday (March 11), according to a statement from the director-general of education.
The results will be released at schools from 10am on that day, the statement said, adding that private candidates will get their results in the mail.
A total of 165,853 sat for the SPM written examination at 3,569 centres in the country between Nov 18 and Dec 16 last year while 6,920 candidates took the STAM examination at 98 centres between Oct 19 and 27, the statement said. -- Bernama
Annoying!
Okay. I don't really care! Because, you are not important to me!
There's this one old lady who just don't know how to appreciate her family, just because she's gonna marry a man that is 10 years younger than her, which had probably poisoned her mind. Okay, fine. Marry him and we'll just watch what'll happen! Duhh. After that, don't come begging like hell for help.
You don't decide on our lives okay. Hope you'll breakout from the shield of mind that guy had put you on. Too naive. That's the word. 66 lady marrying a 56 old guy? Maybe you all will call it fate. But, if you put yourself in my situation, you'll understand what I'm going through. HELL! I suspect she is possessed by some black magic shit. I HATE BLACK MAGIC or its recognized as BOMOH! All syirik! I really think its a practice against Allah's will. What is destined for you absolutely is gonna be yours. So, accept Allah's will and tawakal to only HIM. Using syaitans are a stupid thing to do, you know?! It's just gonna get you to the worst HELL!
Hope Allah will protect me and my family from any threats. Especially, black magic. I don't want to get involved in any black magic. Let's do it the clean way, can't we? Only LOSERS will use Bomohs as a protection. Allah's protection is the greatest of all. Nothing can beat Allah. Subhanallah. Allahu Akhbar!

Short Story : The Story Of Sarah.
“A little bit longer, and I’ll be fine”. There goes another song from The Jonas Brothers. Sarah, a sweet young girl, had to find ways to keep her mind away from the tragedy that had took the lives of her family. As she is alone living with her aunt, she doesn’t have friends to talk to. Her aunt is always busy, managing her own business. She will always listen to her favorite music, whenever she feels lonely or sad. As it will release a little bit of the burden off her chest.
It all happened in December 2, 2008. Sarah and her family were heading south to the airport. They were going to board the flight to Perth, Australia, for a week long holiday. They were all excited for the trip. But, unfortunately, it all ended in tragedy. They were hit by a truck, whose driver had totally lost control of the vehicle, on the highway. She was the only survivor of the tragedy. The driver was charged, but the fact is, Sarah won’t ever get to see her family again.
Accepting the fate from God, she remained calm. She was a tough and determined girl. She had no other relatives besides her aunt, after she had lost her family. From that day on, she knew that she will have to live independently on her own.
She worked hard to pursue her dreams. She had luck on her side, because she was accepted into the one of the top university in the world - Harvard. She took up law, and she became one of the best law student in the world. Upon her graduation day, a big law firm in UK offered her a job, as an apprentice. She knew, that was the chance for her to shine. Without any doubt, she accepted the offer and started working in that very firm, immediately a month later.
Year by year goes by. Now, she is one of the most influential lawyer in the UK. She married a British neurosurgeon. And now, she has two children. One named Ben and the other, Alexa. She is now living very happily, despite the lost of her family years ago.
It all happened in December 2, 2008. Sarah and her family were heading south to the airport. They were going to board the flight to Perth, Australia, for a week long holiday. They were all excited for the trip. But, unfortunately, it all ended in tragedy. They were hit by a truck, whose driver had totally lost control of the vehicle, on the highway. She was the only survivor of the tragedy. The driver was charged, but the fact is, Sarah won’t ever get to see her family again.

P/S: This is a random story I started writing a couple of months ago. Now, it's finally ready to be posted! :D
F1, Seb, RBR!
The new season will begin in 10 days time. First race, Bahrain GP. I'm not gonna miss it! The guys to watch for : Of course my Seb. Vettel aka Lil Schumi (RBR). Mark Webber (RBR). Felipe Massa (Ferrari). Lewis Hamilton (McLaren). And last but not least, the seven time world champion, Michael Schumacher (Mercedes)! Seriously, I dislike Alonso so much. Hope he'll change this year. Lolz. :)
I hope I'll get the chance to catch them live in Sepang GP. The problem is, my dad will never allow me to watch it. I'll find a way. Hehex. :D

Yawning is COOL!
Researchers around the world are studying the human brain to find out what makes it tick. One interesting finding from the University at Albany found that the simple act of yawning helps the brain. Researchers Andrew C. Gallup and Gordon G. Gallup, Jr., say our brains burn up to 33 percent of the calories we consume – and generate heat. Yawning cools brain cells, thus making them more efficient. The researchers also found that yawning increases blood flow and helps maintain optimum levels of functioning. And they suggest we’re biologically hard-wired to yawn to stay alert and protect ourselves from danger.
SPM release date !?
It's really confusing me! I heard a lot of prediction on the dates. 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th. Lolz. Why couldn't the ministry just announce the date now! Arghh. It's making me nervous. Every single day, I think and think and think about how the outcome will be. Tawakal to Allah. Hope my results won't be bad as I dreamed about it in S'pore. Insya-Allah. The sooner the results is being released, the better. At least I get to ease the burden of thinking too much in my head! Lolz. :D

Islam and Science: "Big Bang" - Busted!
Taken from: http://iloveallaah.com
What is the proof?
Islam tells us Allah is both The Creator & The Evolver, of all that exits. We know Allah did not evolve us from monkeys, and we know all things are from Allah. Please share this information with those who deny the existence of God. They need it.
What if someone called a 'scientist' tells you his 'theory' of how cars are made is like this:
A salvage yard on the south side of town blows up and all the metal pieces fly into the air and fall back down in one place forming a brand new Chevrolet Caprice automobile.. with no left over parts.. and the motor is running..
An explosion occurs in a forest and the trees go flying into the air and then suddenly they combine with some flying cloth to make a beautiful chair... and then it lands in a furniture showroom complete with matching table and lamp...
An earthquake in California's 'Silicon Valley' causes the computer chips and circuit boards and other various parts to fall out of their boxes and off of their shelves and just come in place together as they are rolling around on the floor and form the most advanced technical computers existing on the earth?...
A gas leak in a pharmacy warehouse causes a terrific explosion. All the different chemicals and substances just smash into each other in exactly the correct amounts to produce a miracle drug which cures everything form cancer to heart and liver disease, old age and warts?...
It is all in one formula, packaged in the bottles with labels and ready to sell with no mess left on the floor?...
You just go in and sit down and suddenly a 'blast' from the kitchen occurs and immediately a burger lands right in front of you with all the trimmings.. just the way you like it complete with fries, a drink and even your favorite dessert?...
AND...
No one works at "Burger Blast", it just runs itself, automatically cleaning itself and as you leave it scans your billfold for a valid credit card and charges your bank account for what you have eaten?... Now the question is: "Are you really going to accept any of this as 'fact'?"
Of course not!
We wouldn't believe a new car is made from flying junk; chairs don't fall down from exploding trees; earthquakes do not produce computers and blasting burgers don't rain down on us from above. Question: So how come we don't challenge a theory of something coming from nothing and then colliding in the cosmos to make the universe? Is it because of its tremendous magnitude that we have so little comprehension about it, that we are willing to accept any theory from a few telescope 'peeping Toms' to tell us that it came from 'nothingness'? Or just some gases colliding and then... 'Poof'!? Instant Universe? How? Let us now come to our main subject:
The Quran on the Origin of the Universe
The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of 'smoke' (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that 'smoke'. The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that 'smoke' material. God said in the Quran: Then He turned to the heavens when it was smoke...
[Noble Quran 41:11]
Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same 'smoke' we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous 'smoke', they formed and separated from each other. God said in the Quran: Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?.. [Noble Quran 21:30]
Professor Alfred Kroner is one of the world's well-known geologists. He is a Professor of the Department of Geosciences, University of Mainz, Mainz, Germany. He said, "Thinking where Muhammad came from .. I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advance technological methods that this is the case." (From 'This is the Truth' [video]). Also he said, "Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin." Look closer to the heaven surrounding the earth. We call it the 'sky'. Notice the clouds? What are they?
The Quran on Clouds
"Water vaporizes from the oceans and rivers forming tiny clouds. The small clouds join together and the updrafts within the larger cloud increase. The updrafts closer to the center are stronger, because they are protected from the cooling effects by the outer portion of the cloud. These updrafts cause the cloud body to grow vertically, so the cloud is stacked up. This vertical growth causes the cloud body to stretch into cooler regions of the atmosphere where drops of water and hail formulate and begin to grow larger and larger. When these drops of water and hail become too heavy for the updrafts to support them, they begin to fall from the cloud as rain, hail, etc." [From "The Atmosphere" p. 269 and "Elements of Meteorology" pp. 141-142]
- Now just for the sake of argument, let us see what the "Muslim scientists" used to formulate their understandings centuries ago based on the revelation of the Quran (revealed 1400 years ago): Have you not seen how God makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a stack, and then you see the rain come out of it...
[Noble Quran 24:43]
Meteorologists have only recently come to know these details of cloud formation, structure, and function by using advanced equipment like planes, satellites, computers, balloons, and other equipment to study wind and its direction, to measure humidity and its variations, and to determine the levels and variations of atmospheric pressure.
The preceding verse, after mentioning clouds and rain, Quran speaks about hail and lightning: ... And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds) in the sky, and He strikes with it whomever He wills, and turns it from whomever He wills. The vivid flash of its lightning nearly blinds the sight. [Noble Quran 24:43]
Meteorologists have found that these cumulonimbus clouds, that shower hail, reach a height of 25,000 to 30,000 ft. (4.7 to 5.7 miles) like mountains, as the Quran says; ...And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds) in the sky... [Noble Quran 24:43]
Now this verse may raise the question: "Why does the verse say "its lightning" while referring to hail? This seems to indicate that hail is a major factor in producing lightning. Looking to a book on the subject (Meteorology Today) we find that it says:
"Clouds become electrified as hail falls through a region in the cloud of super cooled droplets and ice crystals. As liquid droplets collide with the hail they freeze on contact and release latent heat. This keeps the surface of the hail warmer than that of the surrounding ice crystals. When the hail comes in contact with an ice crystal, an important phenomenon occurs: electrons flow from the colder object toward the warmer object. So, the hail becomes negatively charged. The same effect occurs when super cooled droplets come in contact with a piece of hail and tiny splinters of positively charged ice break off. These lighter, positively charged particles are then carried to the upper part of the cloud by updrafts. The hail, left with a negative charge, falls toward the bottom of the cloud, so the lower part of the cloud becomes negatively charged. These negative charges are then discharged to the ground as lightning. [Meteorology Today p. 437]
This information on lightning was discovered recently. Until 1,600 A.D., Aristotle's ideas on meteorology were dominant in the non-Muslim countries. For example, he said that the atmosphere contains two kinds of exhalation, moist and dry. He also said that thunder is the sound of the collision of the dry exhalation with the neighboring clouds, and lightning is the inflaming and burning of the dry exhalation with a thin and faint fire. [Works of Aristotle Translated into English pp. 369 a&b]
These are some of the ideas on meteorology that were dominant at the time of the Quran's revelation, fourteen hundred years ago. Let us now bring our gaze a bit closer to earth. Consider the mountains and their majesty. Is there anything about these massive formations that may give us a clue as to the origin of creation?
The Quran on Mountains
A book entitled "Earth" is considered a basic reference text in many universities around the world. One of the authors of this book is Frank Press. He is currently the President of the Academy of Sciences in the USA. Previously, he was the science advisor to former USA President Jimmy Carter. His book says that mountains have underlying roots [p. 435]. These roots are deeply embedded in the ground. So mountains have a shape like a peg as is seen in an example on page 220 in the same book. Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots [p. 158].
This is how the Quran described mountains. God said in the Quran: "Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs?" [Noble Quran 78:6-7]
Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground. So the suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word 'peg', since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century. [Geological Concept of Mountains p.5]
Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. [Geological Concept of Mountains pp. 44-45]. They hinder the shaking of the earth. God said in the Quran: And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... [Noble Quran 16:15]
Likewise the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960's
[Geological Concept of Mountains p. 5]. Could anyone during the time of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) have known of the true shape of mountains? Could any one imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him, actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large number of books of geology when discussing mountains, only describe that part which is above the surface of the earth. This is because these books were not written by specialists in geology. However, modern geology has confirmed the truth of the Quran's verses. What about the water covering the earth? Is there another clue hiding beneath the seas?
The Quran on Deep Seas and Internal Waves
Where Did Everything Come From?
What is the proof?
Islam tells us Allah is both The Creator & The Evolver, of all that exits. We know Allah did not evolve us from monkeys, and we know all things are from Allah. Please share this information with those who deny the existence of God. They need it.
There is a popular theory referred to as the 'Big Bang' theory. It tries to explain the existence of the universe in an evolutionary manner having an initial beginning with an immense explosion of some gases or solid mass. Some say there first was a void or ’nothingness’, or perhaps, some gases which exploded then from this everything in the universe simply began to evolve to the stage that we see now. There has never really been any solid evidence for this idea of 'something out of nothing' concept. Nor for that matter, the evolutionary theory itself.We would like to explore the idea of creation from a purely logical standpoint using simple terminology without religious hype, emotional pre-convictions or superstitions.
What if someone called a 'scientist' tells you his 'theory' of how cars are made is like this:
Or what if his theory for how a chair is made is:
He further explains that:
Or what of his 'Medicine Theory'? He now claims that:
Wait... there's more to this one:
Now after all this exploding and excitement this 'scientist' tells you of a great place to relax and have something to eat. It is his favorite place and he calls it: "Burger Blast"! He says:
You just go in and sit down and suddenly a 'blast' from the kitchen occurs and immediately a burger lands right in front of you with all the trimmings.. just the way you like it complete with fries, a drink and even your favorite dessert?...
AND...
No one works at "Burger Blast", it just runs itself, automatically cleaning itself and as you leave it scans your billfold for a valid credit card and charges your bank account for what you have eaten?... Now the question is: "Are you really going to accept any of this as 'fact'?"
Of course not!

Or just some gases colliding and then... 'Poof'!? Instant Universe? How? Let us now come to our main subject:
Creation or Explosion?
We can turn our attention to the earth and the heavens and make observations on our own without a 'genius' scientist telling us what we are seeing. And then the idea that nothing is sustaining the heavens and the earth! - 'It just runs itself'? How?Think about the stars, the sun, the moon and the countless solar systems and galaxies in the universe.
Who or What created them in the first place?
They continue to function and move with the utmost precision and accuracy.
Who does this? Who keeps them gliding along on their courses and orbits preordained for them?
The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of 'smoke' (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that 'smoke'.

Allah said in the Quran: Or (the unbelievers' state) is like the darkness in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds. Darkness, one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it... [Noble Quran 24:40]
This verse mentions the darkness found in deep seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it. The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light. Below a depth of 1,000 meters there is no light at all [Oceans Elder and Pernetta p.27].
Human beings are not able to dive more than forty meters without the aid of submarines or special equipment. Human beings cannot survive unaided in the deep dark part of the oceans, such as at a depth of 200 meters.
Scientists have recently discovered this darkness by means of special equipment and submarines that have enabled them to dive into the depths of the oceans.
We can also understand from the following sentences in the previous verse, "..in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds,..." that the deep waters of seas and oceans are covered by waves, and above these waves are other waves.
It is clear that the second set of waves are the surface waves that we see, because the verse mentions that above the second waves there are clouds. But what about the first waves? Scientists have recently discovered that there are internal waves which "occur on density interfaces between layers of different densities." [Oceanography, Gross, p. 205].
The internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and oceans because the deep waters have a higher density than the waters above them. Internal waves act like surface waves. They can also break just like surface waves. Internal waves cannot be seen by the human eye, but they can be detected by studying temperature or salinity changes at a given location. Water covers so much of the earth and even mixes with the land in rivers and streams. Yet is there something keeping it from mixing with itself? What is contained in this mystery of separation of waters?
The Quran on Seas and Rivers

The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light. Below a depth of 1,000 meters there is no light at all [Oceans Elder and Pernetta p.27].

Water covers so much of the earth and even mixes with the land in rivers and streams. Yet is there something keeping it from mixing with itself? What is contained in this mystery of separation of waters?
Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density. [Principles of Oceanography - Davis, pp. 92-93]
For example, Mediterranean Sea water is warm, saline and less dense, compared to Atlantic Ocean water. When Mediterranean Sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1,000 meters with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics.
The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth. [Principles of Oceanography p. 93]
The Mediterranean Sea water as it enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics, because of the barrier that distinguishes between them. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (C).
Even in depths (indicated here by darker colors) up to 1,400 meters and at distances ranging from a minus -100 to +2,500 meters, we find that both bodies of water maintain their individual temperatures and salinity.
Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.
The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God said: He has let free the two seas meeting to gather. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress.
[Noble Quran 55:19-20]
But when the Quran speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of "a forbidding partition" with the barrier.
God said in the Quran: He is the one who has let free the two bodies of flowing water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. [Noble Quran 25:53]
On may ask, why did the Quran mention the partition when speaking about the divider between fresh and salt water, but did not mention it when speaking about the divider between the two seas?
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a "pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers." [Oceanography p. 242]
This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water [Oceanography p. 244 and Introductory Oceanography pp. 300-301]
This information has been discovered only recently using advanced equipment to measure temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility, etc. The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: the fresh water, the salt water, the partition (zone of separation). What about us? Are we are part of creation? How did we begin? What develops us and causes us to live and die? How are we sustained?
The Quran on Human Embryonic Development
For example, Mediterranean Sea water is warm, saline and less dense, compared to Atlantic Ocean water. When Mediterranean Sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1,000 meters with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics.
The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth. [Principles of Oceanography p. 93]

Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.
The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God said: He has let free the two seas meeting to gather. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress.
[Noble Quran 55:19-20]
But when the Quran speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of "a forbidding partition" with the barrier.
God said in the Quran: He is the one who has let free the two bodies of flowing water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition. [Noble Quran 25:53]
On may ask, why did the Quran mention the partition when speaking about the divider between fresh and salt water, but did not mention it when speaking about the divider between the two seas?
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a "pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers." [Oceanography p. 242]
This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water [Oceanography p. 244 and Introductory Oceanography pp. 300-301]
This information has been discovered only recently using advanced equipment to measure temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility, etc. The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: the fresh water, the salt water, the partition (zone of separation). What about us? Are we are part of creation? How did we begin? What develops us and causes us to live and die? How are we sustained?
In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man's embryonic development, 1,400 years before modern day scientists 'discovered' important information on creation of man and his development:
We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed-like substance)... [Noble Quran 23:12-14]
Literally the Arabic word alaqah has 3 meanings:
"Also, the embryo as this stage obtains nourishment from the blood of the mother, similar to the leech which feeds on the blood of others." [Human Development as Described in Quran and Sunnah p.36].
2. The second meaning of the word alaqah is 'suspended thing'. The suspension of the embryo, during the alaqah stage, in the womb of the mother very appropriately fits this description.
3. The third meaning of the word alaqah is 'blood clot'. We find that the external appearance of the embryo and its sacs during the alaqah stage is similar to that of a blood clot. This is due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo during this stage. Also during this stage the blood in the embryo does not circulate until the end of the third week. So the embryo at this stage is like a clot of blood.
By examining a diagram of the primitive cardiovascular system in an embryo during the alaqah stage we would notice the external appearance of the embryo and its sacs is similar to that of a blood clot due to the presence of relatively large amounts of blood present in the embryo [The Developing Human, p. 65]
So the three meanings of the word alaqah correspond accurately to the descriptions of the embryo at the alaqah stage.
The next stage mentioned in the verse is the mudghah stage. The Arabic word mudghah means "chewed-like substance." If one were to take a piece of gum and chew it in his mouth, and then compare it with the embryo at the mudghah stage, we would conclude that they would be almost identical because of the somites at the back of the embryo that 'somewhat resemble teeth marks in a chewed substance.' How could Muhammad (peace be upon him) have possibly known all this 1,400 years ago when scientists have only recently discovered this using advanced equipment and powerful microscopes which did not exist at that time? Hamm and Leeuwenhoek were the first scientists to observe human sperm cells using an improved microscope in 1677 A.D. (more than 1,000 years after Muhammad, peace be upon him]. They mistakenly thought that the sperm cell contained a miniature preformed human being that grew when it was deposited in the female genital tract [The Developing Human, p.9]
Professor Keith Moore is one of the world's prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology and is the author of the book entitled the "Developing Human", which has been translated into eight languages. This book is considered a scientific reference work and was chosen by a special committee in the United States as the best book authored by on person. Dr. Keith Moore is a Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. In 1984, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association of Anatomists. He has directed many international associations, such as the Canadian and American Association of Anatomists and the Council of the Union of Biological Sciences.
In 1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor Moore said; "It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been the messenger of God, or Allah [The reference for this statement is on 'This is the Truth'.
Consequently, Professor Moore was asked the following question, "Does this mean that you believe that the Quran is the Word of God?" He replied; "I find no difficulty in accepting this."
During one conference, Professor Moore stated, "... because the stagein of human embryos is complex, owing to the continuous process of change during development, it is proposed that a new system of classification could be developed using the terms mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah (sayings of Muhammad, peace be upon him). The proposed system is simple, comprehensive, and conforms with present embryological knowledge. The intensive studies of the Quran and Hadith (reliably transmitted sayings and reports of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) in the last four years have revealed a system of classifying human embryos that is amazing since it was recorded in the 7th century A.D. Although Eric Statle, the founder of the science of embryology, realized that chick embryos developed in stages from his studies of hen's eggs in the fourth century B.C., he did not give any details about these stages. As far as it is known from the history of embryology, little was known about the stagein and classification of human embryos until the twentieth century. For this reason, the descriptions of the human embryo in the Quran cannot be based on scientific knowledge in the 7th century A.D. The only reasonable conclusion is that these descriptions were revealed to Muhammad from God. He could not have known such details because he was an illiterate man with absolutely no scientific training." [This is the Truth -video tape] Think about the humans. How did we all get here? What is the nature of mankind? What causes us to act as we do? Are we ungrateful to the One who created us and sustains us? What is this clue? Think about yourself. Did you create yourself?
The Quran on the Cerebrum (forehead area of the brain in humans)
Literally the Arabic word alaqah has 3 meanings:
1. "In comparing a leech to the embryo at the alaqah stage, we find similarity between the two." [The Developing Human p.8].

suspended thing
blood clot

God said in the Quran about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from praying at the Ka'bah (Holy Mosque): Let him beware! If he does not stop, We will take him by the Naseyah (front of the head), a lying, sinful Naseyah (from of the head)! [Noble Quran 96:15-16]
Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn't the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness?
If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum, in the area we call the forehead. What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology says about this area, "The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex.." Also the book says, "In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression..."
So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behavior, and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. So, it is proper for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. So, it is proper to describe the front of the head as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin, as the Quran says: ...A lying, sinful Naseyah (from of the head)! [Noble Quran 96:16]
Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore. [Scientific Miracles in the Front of the Head p. 41] Who or What created all this? Who is sustaining everything? How do organisms reproduce themselves? How can a tree grow up out of a seed?
