I am waiting for a fruitful discussion so we can learn.
To continue my first reply to this post, the verse mentioning
the lowest land on earth can be easily checked as whether to
be a scientific miracle or not. Simply, because we know the
lowest land on earth by means of accurate instruments (just
think of an airplane that measure it elevation what would happened
if it wasn't accurate). Given also that we know where the battle
happened. We can check up and establish the scientific assertion
of Al-Qur'an.
Salaf scholars interpreted "lowest of the land" as the nearest
place to Arab peninsula that was "bilad esham". Yet, you can not
invalidate that a Quranic verse may have more than one correct
interpretation and, actually, this is part of the divinity of
Al-Qu'ran as to ever not stop unraveling its wonders. It makes a
lot of sense to refer to the place of the battle by it's unique
description and foremost its well-known one. Just think how was
the known world by the time of revelation and how it's now?
I mean for example, if you say to an Australian "the nearby land"
it doesn't make sense to him, but if you say "the lowest land on
earth" that would help a lot to locate which place the Qur'an
is referring to.
