Let's discuss about Miracles mentioned in Holy book "Quran", in comparison with Science (Islam and Science Facts.) Let's cover some topic relating to Quran what quran says on particular topic and how Science proves it to be correct.
The Sun Will Eventually Expire According To Quran
And the Sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (Surah Ya Sin, 38)
According to history of Islam the Quran says the Sun has been emitting heat for around 5 billion years as a result of the constant chemical reactions taking place on its surface. At a moment determined by Allah in the future, these reactions will eventually come to an end, and the Sun will lose all its energy and finally go out. In that context, the above verse may be a reference to the Sun's energy one day coming to an end. (Islamic religion and beliefs according to Quran.)
Let's analyse what Science says about Islam prediction upon this:
The sun is giving the energy approx 5 billion years. The Sun is currently about 5 billion years old,
"burning" hydrogen by fusing hydrogen into helium. The fusion only works in the core, where the

temperature and pressure is high enough. When the hydrogen is used up the Sun will begin to contract. Eventually the core will become hot enough that helium will start to fuse. During this time the outer layers of the Sun will expand. This is the Red Giant phase. Fairly soon after this (astronomically speaking) the Sun will run out of helium. Again the sun will contract, but this time not enough to heat the core for helium to burn (helium burning happens in massive stars). At this stage the Sun will continually contract, glowing fainter and fainter with energy derived from the collapse and not fusion, until the remnant Sun is compressed so much that it is about the size of the Moon. At the beginning of this collapse more gas is lost from the outer layers of the Sun, forming what is known as a "Planetary Nebulae," a shell of gas that has nothing to do with planets. The white dwarf stage is very, very long. The Sun will slowly fade .
The Sky with Woven Orbits, (mentioned in religion of Islam)
"By heaven furnished with paths;" (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 7)
In the religion of Islam the Arabic word "alhubuki," translated as "furnished with paths" in verse 7 of Surat adh-Dhariyat, comes from the verb "hubeke," meaning "to weave closely, to knit, to bind together." The use of this word in the verse is particularly wise and represents the current state of scientific knowledge in two aspects of history of Islamic religion.
The first is this: The orbits and paths in the universe are so dense and intertwined that they constitute
intersecting paths, just like the threads in a piece of fabric. The Solar System we live in is made up of the Sun, the planets and their satellites and heavenly objects in constant motion such as meteors and comets. The Solar System moves through the galaxy known as the Milky Way, which contains 400 billion stars. It is estimated that there are billions of galaxies. Celestial bodies and systems revolving at speeds of thousands of kilometers an hour move through space without colliding with one another.
The second aspect of history of Islamic belief is that the description in the Quran of the sky using a word meaning "woven" may be a reference to the String Theory of physics. (Allah knows the truth.) According to this theory, the basic elements that comprise the universe are not point-like particles, but strings resembling miniature violin strings. These tiny, identical and one dimensional strings oscillating in the form of filaments are regarded as being like loops in appearance. It is assumed that the origin of all the diversity in the universe lies in the way these strings vibrate at different vibrations, in the same way that violin strings produce different sounds with different vibrations.
According to Science, it proves the Islamic belief:
In this theory, Einstein wove the gravitational field into the very fabric of space and time... The continuum we are all used to is only an approximation. Perhaps the simplest way to visualize these ideas is to look at a piece of fabric. For all practical purposes, it represents a 2-dimensional continuum; yet it is really woven by 1-dimensional threads. The same is true of the fabric of space-time. It is only because the "quantum threads" which weave this fabric are tightly woven in the region of the universe we inhabit that we perceive a continuum. Upon intersection with a surface, each thread, or polymer excitation, endows it with a tiny "Plank quantum" of area of about 10-66 cm2. So an area of 100 cm2 has about 1068 such intersections; because the number is so huge, the intersections are very closely spaced and we have the illusion of a continuum.
An Article in the New York Times seeking an answer to the question "How Was the Universe Built?" contained the following lines:
Even the tiny quarks that make up protons, neutrons and other particles are too big to feel the bumps that may exist on the Planck scale. More recently, though, physicists have suggested that quarks and everything else are made of far tinier objects: superstrings vibrating in 10 dimensions. At the Planck level, the weave of space-time would be as apparent as when the finest Egyptian cotton is viewed under a magnifying glass, exposing the warp and woof.
In his book Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, the theoretical quantum physicist Lee Smolin devotes one chapter to "How to Weave a String" and says this on the subject:
... space may be 'woven' from a network of loops... just like a piece of cloth is 'woven' from a network of threads.
Miracle of Qur'an: Moon Light is Reflected Light
(What Islam and modern science say about this?)
What Quran says about Moon light:
- "It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory (Diya'a) and the moon to be a light (Nur)" [Younus 10:5].
- "And made the moon a light (Nur) in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp (Siraj)" [Nuh 71:16].
- "Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp (Siraj) and a Moon giving light (Muneer)" [Al-Furqan 25:61].
- "And We made a glowing lamp (Siraj Wahhaj)" [Al-Naba'a 78:13]
In the above verses, Allah SWT uses different terms to describe moonlight and sunlight, the former referred to as 'nur' and latter as 'diya'a' or 'siraj'. Consulting a dictionary on those terms shows that 'nur' and 'daw'' (origin of 'diya'a') both mean 'light'. However, the Quran never uses both terms interchangeably. Here we should ponder: if both lights were identical in nature, why were different Arabic terms in used to describe each light source? In addition, why is it that only the sun, and not the moon, is described as a 'siraj', or a lamp?
In the origin of Islam there are two types of light sources described in Islamic religion: direct sources like the sun and lamps, and indirect sources, like the moon and planets, which derive their light from other sources. In more than one verse, Allah SWT described the sun as a lamp, because both the sun and the lamp share the property of being direct sources of light. Arabic language is therefore more exact in using two different terms, 'nur' and 'diya'a' , that although have the same meaning in other languages, are actually different in terms of what source of light they refer to [10]. The Quran also describes the sun as'siraj wahhaj', meaning a glowing or flaming lamp, to show how the sun is luminous and burning with flame. Again, this concurs with the scientific description of the sun as a high energy producer
(Islam and Science by Dr. Zakir Naik)
(Islam and Science by Dr. Zakir Naik)
What Science says about Islamic concept:
We enjoy the light from the Sun during the day, and then the comforting glow of the Moon at night. But the light coming from the Moon is an illusion. As you know, you’re actually seeing the reflected light from the Sun, bouncing off the Moon which acts like a mirror. A really terrible mirror.

| Sun rays on Moon |
When astronauts walked on the surface, they reported that it was dark grey, the color of pavement. Because of its dark color and bumpy surface, it only reflects about 12% of the light that hits it. Additionally, the amount of light we get from the Moon depends on the point of its orbit.
During its first and last quarters, the Moon is half illuminated, but it’s only 8% as bright when it’s full. Just imagine the surface when its only partly illuminated. With the Sun at a steep angle, the mountains cast long shadows. This makes the lunar surface much darker than when it’s directly illuminated.
During the full Moon, it’s so bright that it obscures fainter objects in the night sky. Many astronomers put their telescopes away during this phase, and wait for it to go away. When the Moon is highly illuminated, it reflects so much light we can even see it during the day.

Conclusion:
By the above article it is very much clear that the Miracles mentioned in the Holy Quran are absolutely correct in the present context of Science, therefore we can assume that Quran is a word of one unique God. The signs mentioned in the Quran about Science is very much clearly proven by the science in today's world.
