FACTSSAGE

    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...

     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...

       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...

   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...

 In this blog, I have written about the process of cloud formation mentioned in the Quran. Translation of Verse 18 of Surah Al-Muminun We send down rain from the sky in perfect measure, causing it to soak into the earth. And We are surely able to take it away. Translation of Verse 29 of Surah Al-Zumar Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky—channelling it through streams in the earth—then produces with it crops of various colours, then they dry up and you see them wither, and then He reduces them to chaff? Surely this is a reminder for people of reason. Translation of Verse 24 of Surah Al-Rum And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed these are signs for people who use reason. Translation of Verse 48 of Surah Al-Rum It is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ˹vapour, forming˺ clouds, which He then spreads out in th...

 In this blog, I have written about the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad PBUH regarding praying at Home on a cold and windy night and Hadith regarding al-Qisas on the Day of resurrection. Hadith of Prophet Muhammad PBUH regarding praying at Home on a cold and windy night Once on a very cold and stormy night, Ibn `Umar pronounced the Adhan for the prayer and then said, "Pray in your homes." He (Ibn `Umar) added. "On very cold and rainy nights Allah's Messenger SAW used to order the Muadh-dhin(One who recites the Adhan)to say, 'Pray in your homes.' " [Sahih Bukhari 666] Hadith regarding al-Qisas on the Day of resurrection The Prophet PBUH said, "The cases which will be decided first (on the Day of Resurrection) will be the cases of blood-shedding/al-Qisas."[Bukhari 6533] My previous blog Definition of Politics in Islam My next article Hadith regarding Saying Salam to others and Hadith Regarding Signs of a Hypocrite
