يشمل اإلعجاز في القرآن الكريم مجالين :المجال اللغوي والمجال العلميّ .فاإلعجاز اللغوي يدركه كلّ ناطق باللغة العربيـّة أمـا اإلعجاز العلميّ فهو حكر على أهل العلم واإلختصاص. و اإلشارات العلميـة الواردة في القرآن مست شتى مجاالت العلوم اال ان أغلبها تمحور حول الظواهر الفلكية و إنّ من أهمّ وجوه اإلعجاز في القرآن الكريم أن جعل هللا عالمات يوم القيامة -والحال انها من األمور الغيبية -هي نفسها عالمات نهآية :النظام الشمسي .و البشر بإمكانهم رصد هذه الظواهر متى توفـرت لهم الوسائل .فمتى تم لهم ذلك تهاوت حجج الطاعنين في كتاب هللا وهو ما سنبينه في هذه المداخلة.
