The Qur'an on the
Origin of the Universe
|
|
The science of modern cosmology, observational
and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole
universe was nothing but a cloud of 'smoke' (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot
gaseous composition). This is one of the undisputed principles of standard
modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the
remnants of that 'smoke'. The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as
was the whole universe, in that 'smoke' material. God said in the Qur'an:
|
{Then He turned to the
heavens when it was smoke...} (Qur'an 41:11} |
|
|
Because the earth and the heavens above (the
sun, moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same
'smoke' we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity.
Then out of this homogeneous 'smoke', they formed and separated from each other.
God said in the Qur'an:
|
{Have not those who
disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then
We separated them?..} (Qur'an
21:30) |

Professor Alfred Kroner is
one of the world's well-known geologists. He is a
Professor of the Department of Geosciences,
University of Mainz, Mainz, Germany. He said,
"Thinking where Muhammad came from .. I think
it is almost impossible that he could have known
about things like the common origin of the universe,
because scientists have only found out within the
last few years with very complicated and advance
technological methods that this is the case."
(From 'This is the Truth' [video]). Also he said,
"Somebody who did not know something about
nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could
not, I think, be in a position to find out from his
own mind, for instance, that the earth and the
heavens had the same origin."
