The
picture represents
the Big Bang,
which revealed
once again
that Allah
created the
universe from
nothingness.
The Big Bang
is a theory
that has been
proven with
scientific
evidence.
Although some
scientists
tried to advance
arguments
against the
Big Bang,
scientific
evidence has
caused the
Big Bang theory
to be completely
accepted by
the scientific
community. |

Scientists
today are
able to
observe
the formation
of stars
from a hot
gas cloud.
Formation
from a warm
mass of
gas also
applies
to the creation
of the universe.
The creation
of the universe
as described
in the Qur'an
confirms
this scientific
discovery
in the following
verse:
He
placed firmly
embedded
mountains
on it, towering
over it,
and blessed
it and measured
out its
nourishment
in it, laid
out for
those who
seek it-all
in four
days. Then
He turned
to heaven
when it
was smoke
and said
to it and
to the earth,
"Come
willingly
or unwillingly."
They both
said, "We
come willingly."
(Qur'an,
41:10-11)
The
Arabic word
for "smoke"
in the above
verse is
"dukhanun,"
which describes
the hot,
cosmic smoke
in question.
This word
in the Qur'an,
in pinpoint
fashion,
describes
this smoke
very accurately
for it is
a warm body
of gas containing
mobile particles
connected
to solid
substances.
Here, the
Qur'an has
employed
the most
appropriate
word from
the Arabic
language
for describing
the appearance
of this
phase of
the universe.
Let us note
that only
in the 20th
century
have scientists
discovered
that the
universe
emerged
from a hot
gas in the
form of
smoke. (5)
The
fact that
such information
about the
creation
of the universe
is given
in the Qur'an
is nothing
short of
a miracle
of the Qur'an.
