One flabbergasting miracle of the Quran is that it has stated uncountable scientific facts which the science itself quite lately. Hence, this series of my writings will be highlighting some facts stated by the Holy Quran fourteen hundred years ago.
‘Big Bang Theory’ Explained By Quran
Scientists have explained the origination of this universe by an accepted phenomenon widely known as the ‘Big Bang’. This theory has been supported by astronomers and astrophysicists after gathering experimental and observational data over a long period. According to this theory, the entire universe was a big mass or ‘Big Bang’, Primary Nebula. Later, there was a ‘Big Bang’ or Secondary Separation resulting in the formation of galaxies which then divided into planets, asteroids, stars, moons and the sun. This universe was created with remarkable precision and the chances of it occurring by ‘chance’ are zero.
The holy Quran explains this exact origin of the universe in the following verse. “Don’t the nonbelievers realize that the earth and heavens were joined together (as a Unit of Creation), before We made them asunder (as they are)?” [Al-Quran 21:30]
One must be amazed at how a book revealed fourteen hundred years ago could have stated such an astounding fact, which the astronomers were only able to discover recently. Hence, this astounding similarity between Quran and the Big Bang Theory makes it crystal clear that the holy Quran cannot be written by any man himself and is indeed a book from Allah.
Proof of the Gaseous mass of the universe before its creation
Scientists further say that the celestial matter was in the form of gaseous matter before these galaxies were created in this universe. Hence, precisely, there were only gaseous matter or clouds to be found before the galaxies were made. To describe this gaseous form, the word smoke can be more appropriate. Quran uses the word dhukhan meaning smoke for the state of the universe before it was created. “Furthermore, He (Allah) composed in His design the sky, which had been Smoke (previously): He said to it (sky) and to the earth: ‘Come ye together, either willingly or unwillingly.’ They said: ‘We come (Together), in willing obedience.’ (Quran 41:11)
Once again, it can be clearly seen that the origin of the creation of the universe was not known to the Arabs when Quran was revealed making it even more obvious that it cannot have been written by any human being. Hence, Quran indeed is the true word of Allah sent to humans for their guidance. To this date, it remains in its purest and authentic form and has withstood all the efforts directed to distort it.
