From ages, astronomers argued about the existence of the universe without any change. But in 1912, American astronomer Vesto Slipher changed this concept by stating galaxies as moving away from earth. This was something new and surprised many people. This laid down the foundations for expanding universe theory.
In1916, Einstein presented Relativity Theory to explain earth’s expansion or contraction and in 1929 American astronomer Hubble confirmed it as getting expanded.
Hubble’s law mentioned galaxies as moving bodies going away from earth with a speed proportional to earth’s distance. This velocity-time relation approach laid the basis for modern cosmology.
However, hundreds of years ago, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told about earth’s expansion by reciting this Quranic verse:
“And the heaven We created with might, and indeed We are (its) expander.” (Quran 51:47)
During that time heaven was reckoned to what actually is above us and this what the scientist discovered.
Holy Quran mentioned this fact when telescope was not even invented. Holy Prophet (PBUH) recited what was only known to Allah before.
The Big Bang Theory
Hubble also discovered that galaxies are not only moving away from earth but from one another as well, explaining the expansion of whole universe like a balloon. This discovery was regarded as Big Bang Theory.
According to this theory, universe came into being 12-15 billion years ago from the explosion of an extremely hot point and is continuously expanding.
In 1965, radio astronomers Penzias and Wilson confirmed the Big Bang Theory by discovering the heat traces of that hot point which created the universe. They discovered a 2. 725 degree Kelvin Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation around the universe. This theory is accepted by astronomers and scientists. In the Holy Quran it is stated:
“He (God) is the Originator of the heavens and the earth…” (Quran 6:101)
“Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes; and He is the Knowing Creator. His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” (Quran 36:81-82)
Honestly speaking these verses actually laid the foundation of the beginning of the universe. Allah only said Be and everything came into existence.. Can this be an explanation of what led the explosion to begin universe this?
Holy Quran says:
“Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, then We separated them, and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?” (Quran 21:30)
According to the Muslim scholars heaven and earth were under the command of Allah and he split them to create 7 other heavens.
In the above verse, Arabic words “ratq” refers to entity or joined together and “fataq” means We separated, explaining the creation of universe through a split.
The Big Bang Theory confirms the creation of universe exactly as mentioned in the Holy Quran. This is a clear proof that the Holy Quran revealed on Holy Prophet (PBUH), is the Book of God, The Creator of the Universe.
