Al Quran Interesting Figures

See below for astonishing result of the words mentioned number of times in Al Quran.

Sea 32, Land 13

Sea + Land = 32 + 13 = 45

Sea = 32/45 * 100 = 71.1111111111%

Land = 13/45 * 100 = 28.8888888889%

Sea + Land = 100%

AMAZING!!!

Modern Science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889%.

20 Greatest Innovations by Muslims

From coffee to cheques and the three-course meal, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life. As a new exhibition opens, Paul Vallely nominates 20 of the most influential- and identifies the men of genius behind them Published: 11 March 2006

Coffee

The story goes that an Arab named Khalid was tending his goats in the Kaffa region of southern Ethiopia, when he noticed his animals became livelier after eating a certain berry. He boiled the berries to make the
first coffee. Certainly the first record of the drink is of beans exported from Ethiopia to Yemen where Sufis drank it to stay awake all night to pray on special occasions. By the late 15th century it had arrived in Mecca and Turkey from where it made its way to Venice in 1645. It was brought to England in 1650 by a Turk named Pasqua Rosee who opened the first coffee house in Lombard Street in the City of London.

The Arabic qahwa became the Turkish kahve then the Italian caff

20 Greatest Innovations by Muslims (Cont'd)

Refinement

Distillation, the means of separating liquids through differences in their boiling points, was invented around the year 800 by Islam's foremost scientist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, who transformed alchemy into chemistry, inventing many of the basic processes and apparatus still in use today - liquefaction,crystallisation, distillation, purification, oxidisation, evaporation and filtration. As well as discovering sulphuric and nitric acid, he invented the alembic still, giving the world intense rosewater and other perfumes and alcoholic spirits (although drinking them is haram, or forbidden, in Islam). Ibn Hayyan emphasised systematic experimentation and wasthe founder of modern chemistry.

Shaft

The crank-shaft is a device which translates rotary into linear motion and is central to much of the machinery in the modern world, not least the internal  combustion engine. One of the most important mechanical inventions in the history of humankind, it was created by an ingenious Muslim engineer called al-Jazari to raise water for irrigation. His 1206 Book of Knowledge of Mechanical Devices shows he also invented or refined the use of valves and pistons, devised some of the first mechanical clocks driven by water and weights, and was the father of robotics. Among his 50 other inventions was the combination lock.

Metal Armor

Quilting is a method of sewing or tying two layers of cloth with a layer of insulating material in between. It is not clear whether it was invented in the Muslim world or whether it was imported there from India or China. But it certainly came to the West via the Crusaders. They saw it used by Saracen warriors, who wore straw-filled quilted canvas shirts instead of armour. As well as a form of protection, it proved an effective guard against the chafing of the Crusaders' metalarmour and was an effective form of insulation - so much so that it became a cottage industry back home in colder climates such as Britain and Holland.

Pointed Arch

The pointed arch so characteristic of Europe's Gothic cathedrals was an invention borrowed from Islamic architecture. It was much stronger than the rounded arch used by the Romans and Normans, thus allowing the building of bigger, higher, more complex and grander buildings. Other borrowings from  Muslim genius included ribbed vaulting, rose windows and dome-building techniques. Europe's castles were also adapted to copy the Islamic world's - with arrow slits, battlements, a barbican and parapets. Square towers and keeps gave way to more easily defended round ones. Henry V's castle architect was a Muslim.

Surgery

Many modern surgical instruments are of exactly the same design as those devised in the 10th century by a Muslim surgeon called al-Zahrawi. His scalpels, bone saws, forceps, fine scissors for eye surgery and many of the 200 instruments he devised are recognisable to a modern surgeon. It  was he who discovered that catgut used for internal stitches dissolves away naturally (a discovery  he made when his monkey ate his lute strings) and that it can be also used to make medicine capsules. In the 13th century, another Muslim medic named Ibn Nafis described the circulation of the blood, 300 years before William Harvey discovered it. Muslims doctors also invented anaesthetics of opium and alcohol mixes and developed hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes in a technique still used today.

20 Greatest Innovations by Muslims (Cont'd)

Windmill

The windmill was invented in 634 for a Persian caliph and was used to grind corn and draw up water for irrigation. In the vast deserts of Arabia, when the seasonal streams ran dry, the only source of power was the wind which blew steadily from one direction for months. Mills had six or 12 sails covered in fabric or palm leaves. It was 500 years before the first windmill was seen in Europe.

Vaccination

The technique of inoculation was not invented by Jenner and Pasteur but was devised in the Muslim world and brought to Europe from Turkey by the wife of the English ambassador to Istanbul in 1724. Children in Turkey were vaccinated with cowpox to fight the deadly smallpox at least 50 years before the West discovered it.

Fountain Pen

The fountain pen was invented for the Sultan of Egypt in 953 after he demanded a pen which would not stain his hands or clothes. It held ink in a reservoir and, as with modern pens, fed ink to the nib by a combination of gravity and capillary action.

Numerical Numbering

The system of numbering in use all round the world is probably Indian in origin but the style of the numerals is Arabic and first appears in print in the work of the Muslim mathematicians al-Khwarizmi and al-Kindi around 825. Algebra was named after al-Khwarizmi's book, Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah, much of whose contents are still in use. The work of Muslim maths scholars was imported into Europe 300 years later by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci. Algorithms and much of the theory of trigonometry came from the Muslim world. And Al-Kindi's discovery of frequency analysis rendered all the codes of the ancient world soluble and created the basis of modern cryptology.

Soup

Ali ibn Nafi, known by his nickname of Ziryab (Blackbird) came from Iraq to Cordoba in the 9th century and brought with him the concept of the three-course meal - soup, followed by fish or meat, then fruit and nuts. He also introduced crystal glasses (which had been invented after experiments with rock crystal by Abbas ibn Firnas - see No 4).

20 Greatest Innovations by Muslims (Cont'd)

Carpets

Carpets were regarded as part of Paradise by medieval Muslims, thanks to their advanced weaving techniques, new tinctures from Islamic chemistry and highly developed sense of pattern and arabesque which were the basis of Islam's non-representational art. In contrast, Europe's floors were distinctly earthly, not to say earthy, until Arabian and Persian carpets were introduced. In England, as Erasmus recorded, floors were "covered in rushes, occasionally renewed, but so imperfectly that the bottom layer is left undisturbed, sometimes for 20 years, harbouring expectoration, vomiting, the leakage of dogs and men, ale droppings, scraps of fish, and other abominations not fit to be mentioned". Carpets, unsurprisingly, caught on quickly.

Pay Cheques

The modern cheque comes from the Arabic saqq, a written vow to pay for goods when they were delivered, to avoid money having to be transported across dangerous terrain. In the 9th century, a Muslim businessman could cash a cheque in China drawn on his bank in Baghdad.

Earth is in sphere shape?

By the 9th century, many Muslim scholars took it for granted that the Earth was a sphere. The proof, said astronomer Ibn Hazm, "is that the Sun is always vertical to a particular spot on Earth". It was 500 years before that realisation dawned on Galileo. The calculations of Muslim astronomers were so accurate that in the 9th century they reckoned the Earth's circumference to be 40, 253.4km - less than 200km out. The scholar al-Idrisi took a globe depicting the world to the court of King Roger of Sicily in 1139.

Rocket and Torpedo

Though the Chinese invented saltpetre gunpowder, and used it in their fireworks, it was the Arabs who worked out that it could be purified using potassium nitrate for military use. Muslim incendiary devices terrified the Crusaders. By the 15th century they had invented both a rocket, which they called a "self-moving and combusting egg", and a torpedo - a self-propelled pear-shaped bomb with a spear at the front which impaled itself in enemy ships and then blew up.

Gardens

Medieval Europe had kitchen and herb gardens, but it was the Arabs who developed the idea of the garden as a place of beauty and meditation. The first royal pleasure gardens in Europe were opened in 11th-century Muslim Spain. Flowers which originated in Muslim gardens include the carnation and the tulip.

2012 is expected to be year of great positive change. It is not the end of the world! Back in 1899 something was identified called Schumann Cavity Resonance. It is the heart beat or frequency of the Earth. Since its discovery till 1986 this heart beat frequency was constant 7.8 Hertz per second. From 1986 it started to raise dramatically and in 1998 it was reported to be 10 hertz per second. On other hand magnetics of the earth are dropping dramatically and it is expected they will reach zero point in 2012. Maya calendar and other calen** end in 2012, but it is not the end of the world just beginning of the new one since every 26000 years Earth goes through grand cycle of evolution.

Printer manufacturers print invisible yellow dots on consumer's prints that check to see if a person is printing counterfeit money. If you call your printer manufacturer and ask them to "please stop spying on you", they will send secret services to your address to find out why you care about your privacy. Upset? You should be. The more people who call their printer's manufacturers and make this request, the more likely secret services will refuse to investigate.

Einstein declined the presidency of the state of Israel when it was offered to him in 1952 by state leaders. The element einsteinium, discovered in 1952, was named in honor of Albert Einstein. Picture of Einstein sticking his tongue was taken on his 72nd birthday by annoying press photographer Arthur Sasse. Albert loved the photo so much that he cut his image out and send it to all his friends.

While it's generally accepted that scientists can identify an individual's unique DNA pattern, it's not so widely understood how. To that end the following is a brief explanation of the process that was first used to bring Colin Pitchfork to justice in 1987 and has been a vital criminal investigation tool ever since.

What is DNA profiling?

To understand DNA profiling, you first have to know that large portions of any single person's DNA are the same as every other person's. Because we're all human beings, a large chunk of our DNA is dedicated to our species-specific traits - we have feet instead of hooves, skin instead of scales, etc. But other sections - or fragments - of human DNA are unique to the individual. These fragments are called polymorphic because they vary in shape from person to person. Essentially, DNA profiling is the process of separating an individual's unique, polymorphic, fragments from the common ones.

Actually, there are two processes of DNA profiling in common use. They are restriction fragment length polymorphism (or RFLP for short) and allele-specific testing. While they're similar in many ways, the two processes have significant differences.

Restriction fragment length polymorphism is the process used to identify Colin Pitchfork. This approach to DNA profiling can pretty much be summed up, "extract it, chop it, sort it, photograph it." RFLP requires a relatively large sample of DNA - twenty-five or more hairs or a nickel-sized blood or semen stain - and the fresher the better. This can be a drawback in criminal cases, where DNA is often taken from tissues that are degraded or contaminated by exposure to the elements.

Once the DNA's been extracted, it's mixed with a chemical called a restriction enzyme. Essentially, the restriction enzyme cuts the DNA into fragments (the so-called restriction fragments) at specific points in the DNA sequence.

The next step is to sort the fragments, using a technique called electrophoresis. The fragments are put at the end of a foot-long block of gel, then the gel is zapped with several hundred volts of electrical current. The current causes the fragments to move towards the other end of the block of gel. The shorter fragments move farther and faster than the longer ones, so once the current's been shut off, the fragments have lined up according to length.

So now you've got the actual DNA pattern - it's strewn along the block of gel. The problem is you can't see it yet. In order to make the DNA fragments visible, an ultra-thin nylon membrane, called a blot, is placed on top of the gel. Via capillary action, the blot soaks up the DNA pattern, intact. Then, synthetic DNA called a genetic probe is applied to the blot. While all of the DNA contained in the sample has been transferred from the gel to the blot, the probe DNA is designed to attach itself to the polymorphic - and only the polymorphic - fragments. All other DNA is washed off, leaving just the unique fragments. The probe material is radioactive, so when a piece of X-ray film is pressed against the blot, a photo called an autoradiograph or autorad (meaning "self-radiating" is created, containing the familiar "bar code" pattern of a DNA "fingerprint."

Allele-specific testing, like RFLP, works by seeking out polymorphic fragments of DNA, a specific type called alleles. Essentially, this process looks for particular alleles in the DNA sample. But because many people may have the tested-for alleles in their DNA, this process results in a much less precise profile. Using allele-specific testing methods, it's possible to determine that a DNA sample is from one out of 10,00 to 100,000 people, as opposed to one out of billions with RFLP.

If allele-specific testing is less precise, why use it?

Allele-specific testing can be done on a much smaller, less pure sample of DNA and takes far less time than RFLP. In a criminal case in which you're trying to extract DNA from a single strand of hair or drop of blood, or you have only skeletal remains of the victim, this is a distinct advantage. And, by using a process called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), it's possible to "amplify" the smaller DNA sample
