Boycott Israel [IslamCity] The Scientific Miracle - The Existing Universe in the Quran - Part 4
The Scientific Miracle - The Existing Universe in the Quran - Part 4 Source: http://www.usislam.org/92exist.htm Copyright © By Dr. Adel Elsaie, Book Title: History of Truth, The Truth about God and Religions The Quran is full of reflections on the heavens. Instead of a continuous narration, there are verses scattered all over the entire Book which deal with certain aspects of Creation and provide information on the successive events marking its development with varying degrees of details. To gain a clear idea of how these events are presented, the scattered verses must all be examined together. This is quite easy now, since there are dictionaries for all the words in the Quran, and one can obtain all the Ayat that deal with a particular subject. Again, it is extremely important to keep in mind that the Quran is a Divine Book and not a science book. These verses are scattered in many chapters to serve the purpose of reflection on the Glory of the Almighty in many places and in many times. Occasionally, one listens to the Quran without grasping the divine meaning of the verse. When one is ready to receive and feel the meaning of a certain Ayah, then this becomes a great spiritual experience. The Expansion Expansion of the universe is one of the most awesome discoveries of the twentieth century. The evidences for expansion of the universe are so powerful to the extent that it is considered a fact. The discussions of cosmologists are focusing now on the mechanism and the factors that affect this expansion. Allah refers to the expanding universe in the following verse: Surah 51, Ayah 47 We have built the firmaments with might and we indeed have vast power. The above translation does not reflect the actual meaning of the Ayah. Any Arab speaking person will translate the above verse as follows: We have built the skies with might and we indeed are expanding (them) The Arabic verb used means continually expanding, and refers to the previous noun that is the skies. Other translations of this verb include width and generosity, and to make them wider. One of the translations called The choice or in Arabic Montakhab, stated clearly its meaning that the universe is expanding. The fact is that Allah described the expansion of the universe in a short sentence. Muhammad stated this fact that took humanity ages to discover and measure. Who told him that? This fact could not be envisioned in the seventh century and authored by an unlettered Arab when he had no previous knowledge about cosmology. It must have been a divine inspiration! Interstellar Material Throughout the Quran, Allah refers to the skies and the earth and what is between them: Surah 15, Ayah 85 We created not the heavens, the earth, and all that in between them, but for just ends. Surah 50, Ayah 38 We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days, nor any sense of weariness touch us. What is in between the skies and the earth? The creation of the universe occurred by condensing the material of the primary nebula followed by its division into fragments that constituted the primary Protogalaxies, the first celestial bodies. The latter split up into galaxies, stars and planets. The concept of having some form of interstellar material was recently introduced to account for the huge missing mass of the universe. Does this interstellar material consist of cosmic strings that, if they exist, have tremendously dense matter and energy? Does this interstellar material consist of neutrinos or black holes? Here we are in the twenty-first century and we just do not know what is this ghost matter. Their more scientific name is interstellar material There is no doubt now that interstellar material exists and it can be imagined as bridges of material between or inside galaxies. Until recently, no one ever dreamt of a matter of such magnitude and weight existed. Yet an unlettered Arab in the seventh century spoke of this very same interstellar material. If he were the author of the Quran, how did he come up with such a concept that was only discovered recently? And the exact nature of this interstellar material is still unknown. These findings should further stimulate an attempt to understand and dissect each word of the Quran very carefully, thus shedding light on what we still do not know. And God Knows the Best.
