this was back when maps were being invented..

the point is, today, in the 21st century, we have a perfect world map. when viewed from the correct position, ie. 180 degrees, the continents spell Allah.

yes.

the muslim arabs were the first

Samia

yes.

the muslim arabs were the first

If you just do a search of one minute, you will find who were the first to draw a map, and it was long before Islam. Muslims added to them and advanced on them, but did not invent them

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.

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

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

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
