What are the proofs and evidences for the truthfulness of the prophets and messengers and the validity of what they brought from the Creator, especially regarding the rhetorical and scientific inimitability (i'jaz) in the Holy Quran, and how can this be perceived amidst contradictions and differing interpretations?
A researcher in scientific miracles must be patient, diligent, and eager to learn the language, because understanding it is the foundation of the sciences, and this science does not tolerate experimentation or conjectures.
The questioner's limited understanding of scientific miracles does not negate the existence of clear signs, such as the signs of embryonic creation, the formation of clouds, and the composition of rain.
The claim that Sheikh Ibn Baz denied the sphericity of the earth or sanctioned the killing of those who affirmed it is a fabrication and a lie. The Sheikh himself denied this and affirmed the sphericity of the earth, and the respected scholars of Islam have unanimously agreed on the sphericity of the earth.
The verses that speak about water and rain bear clear aspects of miraculousness and do not contradict human attempts to induce rain, because these efforts do not create the clouds but rather draw rain from them. The experiments of "artificial rain" are still mere attempts whose success has not been fully proven, and humans cannot create the natural conditions for rain formation.
The questioner is advised to stay away from doubts and focus on seeking beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
