The present era is an era of science. Everyone needs a scientific explanation of anything that one sees, feels, smells or even imagines. Nothing moves without being logically and scientifically proved. This heavily reliance of science has created a world of atheists, who do not believe in religions, life, the hereafter and even existence of God.
If a Muslim is confronted with an atheist and has no knowledge of science, he will be mowed down by the well taught and scientifically aware atheist for he would proof of everything to be scientifically proved to him. Since the Qur'an, the Divine Book of Muslims is revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) directly by the Creator of this entire Universe, it carries answers to the questions posed by the atheists.
Although religious books are not books of science fiction, the Qur'an does have answers to many questions that the world came to know only recently. By recently I mean a few centuries from hence but there did not exist any scientific knowledge more than fourteen hundred years ago when the Qur'an was revealed on to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The modern science is amazed to know that Qur'an already had answers to their questions for which they took so many centuries of research to find out.
Without going into many details, please watch an enlightening video on "How to Convince an Atheist that Quran is Word of God - Scientifically " below by Zakir Abdul Karim Naik, an Islamic televangelist and Islamic preacher. He is the founder and president of the Islamic Research Foundation. He is also the founder of the Peace TV:
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is our duty to convey only to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and help us to act upon the commandments of Allah contained therein. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
