He has published more than 150 scientific studies and articles as well as 45 books written in Arabic, English and French. Most of his publications are related to the miracles of science in the Qur'an.

Zhaglul collected around seventy Hadiths which were used as research material. Each hadith is accompanied by scientific facts found by scientists that are the same theme as the discussion. That way, the scientific miracles contained in the hadith were revealed one by one.

One of them is about the resurrection of humans from the spine (tail). Rasulullah SAW said, " All parts of the body of the son of Adam will be destroyed by the earth except the tailbone. From it he was created and with it he was resurrected ." (HR. Muslim). In the hadith it is explained that the human tailbone will never be crushed by the ground like other parts of the body. This has been proven by research conducted by genetic scientists, Keith L. Moore.

For this Professor of Archeology, the phases of the development of science will actually lead to the attainment of truth (law). In the end, science will continue to develop, and it is impossible to go back.
