Yeah I actually think it was probably the Persian Empire.

Anaximander, a philosopher from Miletus who lived during the first half of the 6th century B.C., is credited with making the first map of the known world around 540 B.C.. He also invented a type of sun dial.

Stare at anything long enough and you?ll see whatever your mind wants to see.

2788 Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly fixed but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away (such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect order for he is well acquainted with all that ye do.

are you confirming this miracle or opposing it

Jack

it's not a miracle (subjective term) unless you have proof for such miracle which you don't... yet anyway

look at the world map the other way round for yourself Goerge Micheal

Couldn't you post a picture which shows this, like the one I did...but with each of the letters pointed out?

lol how about you demonstrate how this is possible? i surely don't see it. Like Nun says 'you see what you wanna see'

P.S. if you are gonna try for name-calling at least spell it right

And it wasn't just Muslims that drew the World Map 'upside down'

Oh wait, "wasn't just muslims" I screwed up.

True that Aaron. Certainly some other god has His or Her name up there first. ;D

just because i see it as a miracle does not mean this miracle is subject to worship.

I feel that this miracle will help people realise the divinity of the Qur'an, which I feel is much needed in this century.

I am not saying this is how the world always is shaped, because there IS continental drift.

Its just that in the HERE and NOW, this provides me with ever more certainty of faith

YUSUFALI None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?

I agree. Signs are for the present. 20 million years back or in the future is irrelevant. But the map has little resemblance.

I think there is grate resemblence.

Yet another proof of existence of Allah. bravo

so what, god just left out the other names that god might go by in other languages and solely left the continents in the shape of the word allah? come on

it's a total stretch to even say the shapes are there in the first place

are you using islands and archipelagos as diacritics? P

What other languages? Arabic is God's language. nope

This is hardly a miracle, and I doubt this will make people believe in the Quran. In fact, I think it'll make people move further away from the Quran because they will think that this forced "miracle" is the best the Quran has, when this is not the case.
