Translation of Verse 61 of Surah Al-Yunus

There is no activity you may be engaged in ˹O Prophet˺ or portion of the Quran you may be reciting, nor any deed you ˹all˺ may be doing except that We are a Witness over you while doing it. Not ˹even˺ an atom’s weight is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ˹written˺ in a clear register.

English Translation of Verse 7 of Surah Az-zalzala

So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it.

English Translation of Verse 8 of Surah Az-zalzala

And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.

Explanation

                     These are only some of the verses of the Holy Quran which precisely describe the existence of atoms when science at the time was not even familiar with the concept of atoms. The atomic theory was developed in the 19th century, and it kept on evolving to what we know today that

"Atom is the smallest particle of matter that takes part in a chemical reaction."

      Atom consists of subatomic particles as well like electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and anti-quarks. If you read the first verse written above you could see that it is written 'Not ˹even˺ an atom’s weight is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven; nor anything smaller or larger than that'. This part of the verse not only tells us about the existence of particles smaller than atoms (subatomic particles) but also tells about particles larger than atoms which could mean molecules and other forms of matter which we see in our surroundings. These verses leave us with no doubt that the Quran is the book of Allah sent to the Prophet Muhammad SAW for our guidance and it also contains accurate scientific facts for people of wisdom and knowledge so they can ponder upon Allah Almighty's greatness.

Relativistic time mentioned in the Quran

By
    In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Holy Quran in which Allah Almighty talks about the relativity of time. Translation of verse 5 of Surah As-Sajdah He conducts(governs) everything from the heavens to the earth, and then everything ascends to him on a day whose length by your reckoning is a thousand years. Explanation              The above-mentioned verse of the Holy Quran talks about a very famous concept in physics, which is the relativity of time, also known as time dilation. Late 19th and early 20th century scientists such as Lorentz, Emil Kuhn, Hermann Minkowski, Albert Einstein and many others theorized this concept, but Einstein made the greatest contribution. Time dilation deals with the fact that time is not absolute but relative. In general, time dilation is defined as how fast or how slow time will pass depending on the reference frame (accelerating/moving or non-accelerating/at rest or speeds much slower than...

Mention of the Verse of the Holy Quran which talks about time being relative

By
   In this article, I wrote about the verse of the Quran, which mentions time being relative. Translation of Verse 47 of Surah Al-Hajj They challenge you, O Prophet, to hasten the torment(Day of Judgment/Doom's Day). And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting. Explanation                        At the beginning of this verse of Surah Al-Hajj, Allah says that the infidels challenge the Prophet Muhammad SAW in bringing the Day of Judgment or the Doom's Day before its actual time. They do so to see those punishments quickly, which they are promised by Allah for their misdeeds. It is also clearly mentioned in the second part of this verse that Allah will never fail in his promise which means that those people who have done misdeeds and disobeyed Allah will surely be punished on the day of Judgment. The last part of this verse talks about a concept in...
