Surah 10:61
"You are not (engaged) in any matter, nor do you recite any recitation of it, nor do you do any deed, except (that) We are witnesses over you when you are busy with it. Not (even) the weight of a speck on the earth or in the sky escapes from your Lord, nor (is there anything) smaller than that or greater, except (that it is recorded) in a clear Book."
Claimed Miracle: Physics
APOLOGIST CLAIM
"The Quran mentions the nuclear 'atom' (dharrah) and predicts that there are particles even smaller than it."
Refutation & Exegesis
The classical Arabic word *dharrah* fundamentally meant a tiny speck of dust or the smallest known ant. It functioned as a powerful linguistic idiom signifying the smallest imaginable weight to a 7th-century Arab. Retrospectively applying the highly specific, modern scientific definition of a subatomic particle to an ancient idiom used to represent microscopic weight is a linguistic manipulation aimed at forcing concordism where none exists.
Mistranslation
This is a textbook mistranslation. Proponents take the classical word *dharrah*—which literally meant a tiny ant or speck of dust representing microscopic weight—and deceptively translate it using the highly specific modern concept of the nuclear 'atom'.
