Knowledge from the Quran
Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Mas’ood (Radhiyallahu Anhu states: “Whosoever wishes to learn knowledge, then he should seek knowledge from the Qur’an”.
Allamah Suyoothi (Rahmatullahi Alayhi), a famous Mufassir (exegete) and Muhaddith (expert in Hadeeth) states: “The knowledge of the Qur’an and that which is deduced wherefrom is, a sea which has no shore”[1]
Qaadhi Abu Bakr Ibnul – Arabi (Rahmatullahi Alayhi), a famous Mufassir (exegete) discusses the unique knowledge of the Qur’an and states: “Indeed the Qur’an has seventy seven thousand four hundred and fifty branches (77, 450) of knowledge according to the number of words in the Qur’an. Each word contains four dimensional branches of knowledge which when multiplied, the total amount of branches of knowledge contained in the Qur’an is three hundred and nine thousand eight hundred (309, 800).
Each verse has the following four dimensions:
1. Apparent
2. Hidden
3. Internal
4. External
Qaadhi Abu Bakr Ibnul - Arabi (Rahmatullahi Alayh) further states that: “This is a general figure without taking into consideration the unique syntaxical construction of the Qur’an. When that is taken into consideration, the amount of knowledge is infinite and is only known by Allah (Azza Wa Jalle)”[2]
The above statements clearly expounds the colossal and infinite knowledge contained in the Qur’an which we can never fully understand.
The Qur’an consists of innumerable branches of knowledge:
1. Biology
2. Ecology
3. Oceanography
4. Agriculture
5. Anatomy
6. Meteorology
7. Psychology
8. Physiology
9. Embryology
10. Astronomy
11. Geology
12. Sociology
13. Jurisprudence
14. Theology
15. Chemistry
16. Zoology
17. Logic
18. Statistics
19. Mathematics
20. Earth Science
21. Botany
22. Engineering
23. Medicine
24. Astrophysics
25. Electromagnetism
26. Astronautics
27. Philosophy
28. Social Science
29. Economics
This is the tip of the iceberg; the Qur’an contains much more knowledge.
Only recently Scientists have discovered the enormous scientific facts and secrets hidden in the Qur’an.

Our weak intellectual capacities in front of Allah (Subhanau Wa Ta’ala)’s knowledge is like a drop of water in the ocean. We can never equate our knowledge with that of the Qur’an since it contains such vast and infinite collections of knowledge.
