The Quran on the foundation of the Universe
Outline: A Scientific and Quranic description about the innovation of the universe.The science of contemporary cosmology, observational and theoretic, clearly suggests that, at one moment in time, the whole universe was nothing more than a cloud of ‘smoke’ (i.e. an nontransparent highly dense and hot gaseous constitution). This is among the undisputed principles of accepted modern cosmology. Scientists now can discover new stars forming out from the remnants of that ‘smoke’ (see figures 1 and 2).
The illuminating stars we have seen at night were, just like was the whole universe, in this particular ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran:
“Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke...” (Quran 41:11)
Considering that the earth and the heavens preceding (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, and so on.) have been formed out of this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the planet and the heavens were one associated entity. Then from this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they created and separated from one another. God has said in the Quran:
“Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?...” (Quran 21:30)
Dr. Alfred Kroner is among the world’s renowned geologists. He is prof of Geology and the Chairman for the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gensfleisch Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He explained: “Thinking where Muhammad (PBUH) came from . . . I believe it is almost impossible that he might have known about things like the most popular origin of the universe, because researchers have only found out in the last few years, with very complex and advanced technological techniques, that this is the situation.” Also he replied: “someone who did not know something concerning nuclear physics 1400 years ago couldn't, I think, be in a place to find out from his own mind, for-instance, that the earth and the heavens encountered the same origin.”
