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...

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

   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...

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...

Mention of Multiple Universes in the Quran

     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 ...

Earth being 'Spread out' mentioned in the Quran

     In this blog, I have written about Earth being 'Spread out' mentioned in the Quran. Translation of Verse 19 of Surah Nuh And Allah has made the earth(land) for you as a carpet (spread out). Explanation:                      In the verse 19 of Surah Nuh Allah says that the earth or land is spread out or it is like a carpet. Many people cite this verse when they argue that the Quran says that the Earth is flat. In this verse, it does not say that the Earth is flat but it says that it is spread out which is true. If you go on top of a high-rise building you will observe that the landscape around you is levelled like a carpet or spread out.  The reason Allah has made the land spread out is so that we can walk on it and perform several other tasks like growing crops, building out houses etc. Flatness and being spread out have 2 different meanings. This was also the view of a very renowned 14th century scholar Ibn...

Shape of the Earth mentioned in the Quran

       In my previous blog, I wrote about the explanation of Verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumar which mentions how day changes to night and how night changes to day. The only 2 ways for this to be possible is that the Earth rotate around its axis which I wrote about in my previous blog and the second possibility is that the Earth is spherical. In this blog, I will discuss about the spherical shape of the Earth. Translation of Verse 30 of Surah al-Naziat He made the earth egg-shaped. Explanation:                         This verse of the Quran mentions that the Earth is shaped like an egg. Some people say that the Earth is round but in reality, it is not completely round. It is flat at the poles and bulging from the equator. If you compare the image of the Earth which we got from the pictures taken from the satellites with an egg. You will get to know that the shapes of the Earth and an egg are in quite resemblance to...

Quran on the Beginning of the Universe

   In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Quran, which tells us about the beginning of the universe. Translation of Verse 30 of Surah Al-Anbiya Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass, then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? Explanation         In the above-mentioned verse of the Quran. Allah told us that he created the universe from one mass, and then from that, he split the heavens and earth. The Big Bang Theory agrees a lot with this verse of the Holy Quran. The Big Bang theory tells us that in the beginning, the universe was a singularity and at that point, it had infinite density, energy, and temperature. Then it exploded(expanded very rapidly) into existence and, as a result, created matter, which further evolved to form planets, stars galaxies, etc. This process of rapid explosion is referred to as Cosmic inflation. From that point un...

Mention of the Creation of everything in Pairs in the Quran

  In this blog, I have written about a verse of the Quran which mentions the creation of everything in pairs. Translation of Verse 36 of Surah Al-Yasin "Glory be to the One Who created all things in pairs—˹be it˺ what the earth produces, their genders, or what they do not know!" Explanation                      This verse of the Quran says that Allah hasn't created anything that isn't in pairs. There is a pair of everything Male and Female, Good and Bad, Hot and Cold, Life and Death, etc. Recent studies have shown that opposite genders, i.e. Masculinity and Femininity, are also present in plants. If you are a student of physics, then you would agree with this verse of the Quran. There are many examples of pairing in physics as well, like matter and anti-matter, electron and positron, positively charged particles and negatively charged particles, quarks and anti-quarks, neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, etc. Even forces also act in ...

Mention of Expansion of the universe in the Quran

    In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Quran in which Allah told us about the expansion of the universe. Translation of Verse 47 of Surah Adh-Dhariyat "We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺." Explanation    In this verse, Allah mentions he created the universe and he is the one who is expanding it. It was In 1929, Hubble proved that the universe is not static but rather expanding, whereas, before this, people used to believe that the universe was static. Allah told about this in the Quran 1400 years ago. This leaves us with no doubt that the Quran is the word of Allah because it mentions these scientific facts in such an accurate manner. No Human at that time could know this fact, but only Allah could know this because he has created this universe, and nothing is hidden from his wisdom.

Verse of the Quran in which Allah mentions subatomic particles.

 In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Quran in which Allah mentions  subatomic particles. Translation of Third Verse of Surah Saba The disbelievers say, “The Hour will never come to us.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Yes—by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen—it will certainly come to you!” Not ˹even˺ an atom’s weight is hidden from Him in the heavens or the earth; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record. Explanation        In this Verse of Surah Saba, Allah tells about the existence of particles even smaller than atoms, and today, Physics has proven this fact what Allah told Muslims 14 centuries ago in the Quran. Atoms are composed of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, neutrons, etc., which are further composed of quarks and anti-quarks. This is the greatness of Allah and his knowledge. It testifies that the Quran is the Word of Allah and Prophet Muhammad SAW is his messenger. Otherwise, no one at that ...
