This is pure hoax!!! I take strong reservation in taking these hoax seriously and then linking them with the Quran. There is no doubt that the Quran describes these stories but any altered image for a competition cannot be made proof of these stories.
A person who is a regular contributor to a blog must have the foresight to first double check any claims that might come his way through the internet. People now are really getting serious in separating science from fiction on the internet. People get fooled by these illegitimate and unsolicited things because they dont do their homework when browsing the net. A little research (for me it took 3 - 4 minutes) would have revealed the truth.
The worst is to attribute such finds to the Quran. We Muslims should be EXTREMELY careful in attributing anything to the Quran. It is the word of Allah SWT and messing with it is no joke.
dear aftab
if you have doubts then go a head and prove that this is’ altered image ‘
i will wel come and accept your research… thats why I didnt comment but just posted the picture and relevent details and mention the contributors source
Dear Waqas! Though I have similarly gone through the image few months ahead by email with similar tentative observation but I am not astonished to give it a spectacular importance as very rightly said by aftab.
Waqas I am still unable to understand why we as Muslim are still trying to dig and gather few proofs so to express over legitimate bearing as faith and belief.
Do we still have some embezzlement or disparity in our belief for what has been said as qoran and equivocally been floated by our prophet (PBUH).
Do you think we being Muslim need some miraculous facts so to support our point of view and attachment as qoranic verses in physical or sketchy format, being materialize so to support the benefit of doubt?
What is written as commandments and verses need no justification for its legitimate divine bearing as proscription.
To cut short I have no inquisition on the article as you have securely manage to get your self away from litigation and controversy .Regards
Firstly I would like to apologize because I felt that my language had been a bit harsh. I apologize if any one felt offended. I second Capt. Haider’s comments.
As far as the details of the image is concerned you can follow these links.

It is said that you shouldn’t spread something you are not sure about especially regarding Islam as any misinformation can cost heavily regrading our standing on the Day of Judgement.
I would also like to add that these days we receive a lot of SMSs quoting Hadiths and what do a lot of people do that they forward those SMSs without verification.My message to all is that Please do verify
it from Some “Aalim or Mufti Sahab” before forwarding.
