Mention of Existence of Alien life in the Quran

    In this article, I have written about the verse of the Holy Quran which mentions the Existence of Alien life. I have also written views of different Muslim scholars on existence of Alien life. Translation of Verse 29 of Surah Ash-Shura And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and all living beings(Daabah) He dispersed throughout both. And He is Most Capable of bringing all together whenever He wills. Explanation                         The above-mentioned verse of the Holy Quran very eloquently describes some of the signs of Allah Almighty's power and greatness. One of his signs is the creation of heavens and the earth and all living beings he has spread in both of them. If you read again then there is the Arabic word 'Daabah' which means living creatures. In my last article I explained how this word could mean extra terrestrial life that could be present in the vast expanse of our un...

Relativistic time mentioned in the Quran

    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...

Description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran.

     In this blog, I have written about the description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran. Translation of Verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumar He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He wraps the night around the day, and wraps the day around the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He is truly the Almighty, Most Forgiving. Explanation                        In this verse of Surah, Az-Zumar Allah has told us how night changes into day and how day changes to night. If you look at the sky just around the time of sunset you would perceive it as night wrapping around day and at just around the time of sunrise day wrapping around night. The only 2 ways for this to be possible are that the Earth should rotate along its axis and that the Earth is spherical in shape. Now today we know that Earth takes one day(24 ho...
