You have just seen the visual interpretations of the “Big Bang” the theory of the creation of the universe widely accepted by scientists today. The words you listened were from the Qur’an that is the holy book of Islam recorded over one thousand four hundred years ago.
The Qur’an is the heart and soul of Islam. Muslims believe it to be the wisdom of God revealed for all mankind through his Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It would seem to make no sense to look for scientific factual information in a book that offers spiritual and social guidance through revelation. Yet within the Qur’an, many verses containing the descriptions of physical world that are remarkably similar to those of modern science. These verses span a wide range of subjects from the vast workings of the universe to the minute affairs of life on earth.
