Union of Quran & Science

100 years ago, the world’s best scientific minds thought that the universe had always existed. Since it always existed, it didn’t need a Creator.

Einstein changed all that.

His ‘field equations’ suggested that the universe was expanding like a balloon. The mathematician and Belgian Priest, George Lemaître, realised that this expansion had to have started from somewhere. It must have come from an initial, dense point. This idea became known as the Big Bang. Today, it is the basis for understanding the origin of the universe.

Einstein & Lemaître
What few people know however is that the Holy Quran described the Big Bang perfectly, 1400 years earlier.

اَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ کَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰہُمَا ؕ وَ جَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّ ؕ اَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ

Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We opened them out? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

Holy Quran, 21:31
The Arabic word rattan means a closed-up mass. It also means darkness. A dark, closed-up mass is a perfect description of what we know the universe looked like in its earliest moments. The heavens and the Earth were indeed opened out from this mass to produce the universe we see today.

The verse further says that water is the basis of life. This is now an accepted scientific fact. When NASA looks for planets that can bear life, they look for water.

The shocking power of this verse is a grand sign for our disbelieving age.

Concept of Orbits(the pathway in which heavenly bodies(*Celestial bodies*) rotates...)
Like planets revolving around the sun in their fixed pathways or orbits...
And Sun revolving around the milky way...

These r the wonderful and proven signs of glorious

Before creation of this universe these heavenly bodies like sun, planets etc. Were in the form of gases and science believes it....😍
(Here smoke refers to the collection of tiny water droplets and gases and some dust particles...)

But our holy quran had already mentioned it before 1400 years ago☺☺

Quranic verses:

out of that chewed up lump (i.e. mudgha) We fashioned bones and clothed them in flesh Quran 23:14

Commentary: We now know from science that the next stages are in fact the development of bones as well as muscles and flesh! Not only is the Quranic insight remarkable, but also the order of the words. Only very recently, have we learnt (at the microscopic level) that the cartilage ossifies followed by the muscular cells coming together and wrapping around the bones. This order is exactly what the Quranic verses indicate. Amazing.
