History - Easy

Free-fall from the sky.

The Quran portrays humans free-falling from the sky. Skeptics claim that whoever wrote the Quran made a mistake; humans will never fall from the sky. Today this became a sport known as skydiving.

"Parachuting

Parachuting, including also skydiving, is a method of transiting from a high point in the atmosphere to the surface of Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent using a parachute or parachutes.

For human skydiving, it may involve a phase of more or less free-falling (the skydiving segment) which is a period when the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity."

Wikipedia, Parachuting, 2021.

Free-falling first took place in the 20th century. However this was was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years ago.

Quran 22:31

Being true to Allah, without associating anything with Him. Whoever associates anything with Allah it is as though he has fallen from the sky, and was snatched by the birds, or was taken down by the wind to a deep place.

٣١ حُنَفَاءَ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مُشْرِكِينَ بِهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِي بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي مَكَانٍ سَحِيقٍ

"Has fallen from the sky" this is humans free-falling from the sky. Today this became a sport known as skydiving.

How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known about skydiving?
