14 centuries ago God sent down to
humanity the Quran as a book of
guidance he called upon people to be
guided to the truth by adhering to this
book since the day of its Revelation to
the day of
Resurrection this last Divine book will
remain the sole guide for
Humanity the matchless style of the
and the superior wisdom in it are
definite evidence that it is the word of
God in addition the Quran has many
miraculous attributes proving that it is
a revelation from
[Music]
God one of these attributes is the fact
that a number of scientific truths that
we have only been able to uncover by the
technology of the 20th century were
stated in the Quran 1,400 years
ago of course the Quran is not a book of
science however many scientific facts
that are expressed in an extremely
concise and profound manner in its
verses have only been discovered with
the technology of the 20th
century these facts could not have been
known at the time of the quran's
Revelation and this is still still more
proof that the Quran is the word of
God in order to understand the
scientific Miracle of the Quran we must
first take a look at the level of
science at the times when this holy book
was revealed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
in the 7th century when the Quran was
revealed Arab Society had many
superstitious and groundless beliefs
where scientific issues were
concerned lacking the technology to
examine the universe and nature these
early Arabs believed in Legends
inherited from past Generations
they supposed for example that mountains
supported the sky
[Music]
above they believed that the world was
flat and that there were high mountains
at its both
ends it was thought that these mountains
were pillars that kept the Vault of
Heaven high above
[Music]
however all these superstitious beliefs
of Arab Society before the time of the
Prophet Muhammad may God bless him and
Grant him peace were eliminated with the
Quran the verse God is he who raised up
the Heavens without any support for
example invalidated the belief that the
sky remains above because of the
mountains in many other subjects
important facts were revealed at a time
when no one could have known them
[Music]
the Quran which was revealed at a time
when people knew very little about
astronomy and physics or
biology contains key facts on a variety
of subjects such as the creation of the
universe the creation of the human being
the structure of the atmosphere and the
delicate balances that make life on
Earth
[Music]
possible let us now take a look at some
of the scientific truth truth revealed
in the
[Music]
Quran the origin of the universe is
described in the Quran in the following
verse he created the heavens and the
Earth from
nothing this information given in the
Quran is in full agreement with the
findings of contemporary
science the conclusion that astrophysics
has reached today is that the entire
universe together with the dimensions of
matter and time came into existence as a
result of a great explosion that
occurred in no
time this event known as The Big Bang
produced the entire universe about 15
billion years ago creating it from
nothingness as a result of the explosion
of a single
point modern scientific circles are in
agreement that the Big Bang is the only
rational and provable explanation of the
beginning of the universe and of how the
universe came into being
[Music]
before the Big Bang there was no such
thing as
matter from a condition of non-existence
in which neither matter nor energy nor
even time existed and which can only be
defined
metaphysically matter energy and time
were all
created this fact only recently
discovered by modern physics was
announced to us in the Quran 1,400 years
ago
[Music]
in the Quran which was revealed 14
centuries ago at a time when the science
of astronomy was still primitive the
expansion of the universe was described
like this
and it is we who have constructed the
heaven with might and verily it is we
who are steadily expanding
it the word Heaven as stated in this
verse is used in various places in the
Quran with the meaning of space and
universe here again the word is used
with this meaning in other words in the
Quran
it is communicated that the Universe
[Music]
expands and this is the very conclusion
that science has reached
today until the dawn of the 20th century
the only view prevailing in the world of
science was that the Universe has a
constant nature and it has existed since
infinite
[Music]
time the research observations and
calculations carried out by means of
modern technology however revealed that
the Universe in fact had a beginning and
that it constantly
expands at the beginning of the 20th
century the Russian physicist Alexander
Friedman and the Belgian cosmologist
George L theoretically calculated that
the universe is in constant motion and
that it is
[Music]
expanding this fact was proved also by
observational data in
1929 while observing the sky with a
telescope Edwin Hubble the American
astronomer discovered that the stars and
galaxies were constantly moving away
from each
[Music]
other a universe where everything
constantly moves away from each other
implied a constantly expanding
Universe the observations carried out in
the following years verifi that the
Universe constantly
[Music]
expands this fact was explained in the
Quran when it was yet Unknown by anyone
this is because the Quran is the word of
God the Creator and the ruler of the
entire universe
