Abstract

Over centuries, microorganisms have puzzled microbiologists due to their wonders. This descriptive qualitative study adopted Thematic Approach and Synoptic Approach to unravel how Qur'an allude to these wonders. Tafsir Ibn Kathir was used for preliminary interpretation of identified verses. Data concerning wonders of microorganisms were screened from online databases. The preposition مِن (part of) used in the phrase لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا أَصْغَرُ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَا أَكْبَرُ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ (not even the weight of a speck of dust or less than that or greater escapes His knowledge in the heavens or in the earth but it is in a Clear Book) of Qur’an, 61:10, as used in Qur’an, 34:3, allude that, even microorganisms and their tiniest particles that makes them, are within Allah’s knowledge. This modest contribution may help people to ponder on presence, greatness, and glory of Allah (S.W.T).
