​Chaudhry Sadiq, President of PICNA, who spoke to the audience on 'Qur'an and Science' covered the vast subject in a short but comprehensive talk. He talked about fascinating facts contained in the Quran, stunning evidence of nature's phenomena, spectacular secrets of science unveiled in the Qur'an over 1400 years ago.
​"Among the most fascinating subjects in the Qur'an, is the creation of the universe and creation of Man", said Chaudhry Sadiq. While the Qur'an covers almost every conceivable subject, one of the most amazing phenomena unveiled in the Qur'an, is the various stages of the development of the human embryo.
​Just one verse of the Qur'an covers so many subjects:
"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what God has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason." - Qur'an 2:164
​Chaudhry emphasized that Islam and Science are not only mutually compatible but that Islam lays great emphasis on reflecting and research. He concluded his talk with a brief reference to great contributions to the world civilization by the early Muslim era scientists and discoverers.
