The first two share in all mathematics papers published in the world had a rise. ayahs of Surah al-Qamar refer to this fact: “The Hour has drawn near and the moon is The head of Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC) pointed out that split. If they see a sign, they turn away, and say, ‘An incessant magic!” the share of Iranian mathematics’ degrees rose to 2.5 percent in 2013. This As is clear from the ayahs, the Arab pagans tried to deny this manifest miracle that was figure increased to 2.7 percent in 2014, 2.8 percent in 2015 and 2.9 percent produced on their demand, by calling it magic or sorcery, while the Jew immediately in 2016. accepted Islam, since he had read in the Torah how God made the sun and the moon stand Referring to the number of mathematics papers published between the still for Prophet Joshua the successor of Prophet Moses (peace upon them).
