In this blog, I have written about the mention of multiple universes in the Quran and the translation of Surah al-Fatiha.
Translation of First verse of Surah al-Fatiha
"All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin(Universes)."
Explanation:
The above-mentioned verse of the Quran, which is the first verse of the Holy Quran, talks about an idea that is very popular now a days and that is the idea of exisistence of multiple or parallel universes. In the start of this verse it is also mentioned that All praises and thanks to Allah and then at the emd of this this verse its is mentioned that he is the Lord of all worlds/Alamin/universes. This concept of parallel universes, which Physics has proposed just recently, has been mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago. This enables us to think about the greatness and wisdom of Allah. Although the concept of parallel universe can be argued on rather it exists or not but as Muslims we should know that eventhough if science can not prove this theory we should stick to what has been mentioned in the Quran because Science can be right or wrong but what Allah has written in the Quran can never be wrong. It is possible that we may never be able to discover parallel universes, but we as Muslim should know that the creation of such universes is not difficult for Allah.
A major reason for us to be unable to discover those other universes up till now can be the fact that may be at present our knowledge and our technology are limited to a certain level while the wisdom of Allah has no boundary. It is possible in the future that our knowledge expands, and we may be able to discover those other universes while there is an equal possibility for us not to be able to do this. One thing will remain certain and that whatever facts science has been able to prove till know or it will prove in the near future. Allah mentioned the signs of these facts in the Quran quite precisely 1400 years ago. It gives a clear proof that the Holy Quran is the book of Allah because no one at that time could know these scientific facts at that time but only Allah. Even though there are many scientific facts mentioned in the Quran but the main purpose of the Quran is to guide humanity to the right path. The mention of these scientific facts is only so that we can ponder upon the wisdom and greatness of Allah Almighty.
One thing to keep in mind is that there can be various others explanations of this verse and only Allah Almighty knows what is the correct explanation.
Translation of Surah Al-Fatiha
Besides the first verse of Surah al-Fatiha we should also focus on what has been written in the rest of this Surah because it forms the basis of our belief in the onenes of Allah as he is the one we worship and seek help fromwhich. It is also written in this surah that Allah is all merciful, the Lord of the day of Judgment. Below is the translation of Surah Al-Fatiha from verse no.2 till verse no.6. The translation of the first verse is written at the start of this blog.
the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,[1:2]
Master of the Day of Judgment.[1:3]
You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.[1:4]
Guide us along the Straight Path,[1:5]
the Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.[1:6]
