Summary/Abstract: Qur'an as Allah's final Revelation to mankind is of such content that it testifies with its numerous miracles, divinity and superiority that it comes from the Almighty and All knowing Allah. No one except Allah was able to write it. Qur'anic miracles and wonders never cease, even the modern science is amazed by the beauty of Allah's Book. Qur'an represents a scientific miracle because numerous information from it was confirmed by the modern scientific researches and various experiments. This supernatural dimension of the Holy Qur'an has received special attention since the year 1400 after Hijra or since the year 1979, when an assembly was founded as a part of a University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The basic intention of this assembly is to research and explore the scientific miracle of the Qur'an. Considering the fact that the Qur'an is the fundamental source of Islamic law, its ibadah (rituals), norms and standards have constant value, purpose, wisdom and supernatural divine character. All of the proscribed ibadahs bring benefit to humans in order to give a mental and physical support in this life, salvation in the next life and are used as a landmark of a normal, fulfilled and balanced existence.
