Salat or Prayer
I. Introduction
.

Certainly will the believers have succeeded: They who are during their prayer
humbly submissive.(Surah Al-Muminun: 23:1-2)
This word as used in the Holy Quran and Hadith is formed from the word Salat and Tasliat
and in the Arabic dictionary it means To pray. But in Islamic terminology it conveys the way
of expressing worship by man to his real Creator and object of worship in the special manner
taught by God to the people by His Apostles.
Surah Adh Dhriyat Chapter #51 Verse#56
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me
(Alone).

Salah is the ritual prayer practiced by Muslims in supplication to Allah (SWT). The term is
commonly used to refer to the five daily prayers, which are compulsory upon all mature
Muslims. Salah is considered the most important act of worship in Islam and its importance is
such that under very few circumstances it can be omitted.
Surah Al Ankaboot Chapter# 29 Verse# 45
Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish
0345-4055044/0332-8697223

regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and
unjust deeds;

Salah strengthens the foundations of our faith. It prepares a person to live the life of goodness
and obedience to Allah (SWT), and it builds courage and determination. Every time we perform
Salah, we renew our commitments to Allah (SWT) and we rid ourselves from worldly pressures
five times a day.
According to a Hadith a companion of Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) came to him one day
and asked him "What is the thing that Allah (SWT) loves most?" Holy Prophet Mohammad
(pbuh) replied "The thing that Allah (SWT) loves most is when his people pray Salah on time."

(u) Salah (Salat, Namaz) is a practical sign of obedience to the commands of Allah
(SWT). Its importance has been emphasized more than 500 times in the Noble Qur'an.
Surah Al- Baqrah Chapte#02 verse #03
Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in
prayer, and spend out of what We have provided
for them;
Nay, seek (Allah's) help with patient perseverance and prayer:

0345-4055044/0332-8697223

Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers.
Surah An Nur Chapter# 24 Verse# 56
And keep up the prayer.
establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds;
Once Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) shook a dry branch of a tree so that all of the
leaves of the branch fell off than the Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said "The sins of
those who pray Salah, drop off as the leaves of this branch fell off." Person who
regularly offers Salah is one who getting the maximum benefit in all means. Salah is
the spiritual communication between The Lord and His Salve, between Creator and His
Creation and this is main reason that mankind get internal satisfaction that their Lord.
Their God is with them.
The Prophet pbuh says that: Salaat is the pillar of deen and the foundation of Islam. He
who upholds salah has upheld Islam and he who leaves salah has left behind religion.
(al-baihaqi). The daily prayers are a way for us to keep a close connection to our
Creator. It is through salah that we can get our suplications answered and our needs
fulfilled. When the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) were in need, they would turn to
Allah in prayer. Salah is a way for us to show a commitment to our faith. Every time
we pray salah, we renew our commitment to Allah and relieve ourselves from the
pressures of our daily lives.

0345-4055044/0332-8697223

Salah is thus the main path towards spiritual purification. It is through salah that we can
gain self-discipline and good qualities. For example, in prostration we submit our will
to Allah in all humbleness. We also purify our hearts.
The prophet (pbuh) once asked his companions Tell me if there was a river at the door
step of one of you in which you washed 5 times a day would any of your dirt remain?
When he received the reply that none of it would remain he then said That is like the 5
daily prayers, with which Allah wipes out our sins.

VII. Benefits of prayer
i. Private Benefits
(a) Discipline and responsibility
(b) Character Building
The dearest act in the eyes of Allah is that which is done constantly even
though it may be small. (Al-Hadith)
(c) Sense of Duty
(d) Humbleness
Indeed the believers are successful who are humble in their prayers. (Al-
Quran)
(e) Brings a person nearer to God
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those
who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.(40:60)

0345-4055044/0332-8697223

10

(g) Fear of God
(h) Self Belief
(i) Purification of Mind and soul
Surely Allah loves the repentant and loves those who cleanse themselves.
(2:222)
(j) Sense of balance between material life and life of Hereafter
(k) To Remind Us The Purpose of Life

To remind us the purpose of life. To transfer the whole life of mankind in to prayers
obedience to Allah. It is necessary to underline that man is the creature of Allah and for
constant remembrance of this fact we should regularly offer Salah and this is also the
main fact that the prayers have been prescribed.
Establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds;
It follows naturally that the effect of prayer is to pass a clean life full of wellbeing and
peace.
(l) Salah Brings Peace in Hearts

According to The Holy Quran
Surah Ar Rad Chapter #13 verse #28
For without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
This is the greatest desire of mankind to possess peace and rest in their hearts which is
above all worldly riches. To achieve such peace man makes every kind of efforts, but
more the worldly gains, a man acquires, a further peace recedes from him and instead
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
11

of peace man is surrendered by worries and sorrows.
Only prayers are such a blessings, that can bring solace and peace to man. When man
stand in prayer he fells the blessings of Allah and he assures that all his prayers are only
for One true God to whom everything belongs this is that fact which bring peace in to
mind and hearts of the man.

(m) Sense of obligation
If a person has no sense of obligations his life will be spent flippantly and this flippancy
eventually cause him misery. Salah has been Divinely ordained to in calculate a sense
of discipline and responsibility in men. To perform Salah regularly will become his
second nature. This will give him insight to his own qualities, and he will be ever
prepared for achieving his objects. Since Salah is measure of man and differentiate
between good and evil, The Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said Between the virtuous slaves of Allah and
infidelity stan discarding of prayers
(n) Character Building
Another most imperative benefit of offering Salah on the life of an individual is that the
character of that person is developed along certain well defined lines. This mode of life
is beneficial to man for its chalks out such a path for them, treading on which they
achieve success and happiness in every part of their life.
A person who offers Salah daily on times, it ensures the softness and humbleness in his
character as it shows every time when he bows down to his Creator. It also brings the
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
12

sense of responsibility in an individual when he tried his level best to offer Salah on
time that results in punctual.
Salah develops in Muslims another quality of good character. This is patience, which is
the source of strength needed to face the hardships of life. The Quran repeatedly
encourages Muslims to get help and strength from regularly praying in any kind of
stress or trouble.
Surah Al Baqrah Chapter #02 verse #45
Seek Gods help through patience and prayer.
Surah Al Baqrah Chapter #02 verse #153
O you who believe. Seek help with patience,
perseverance and prayer; for God is with those
who patiently persevere.
(o) Self Discipline
Self-discipline can be learnt from the regularity of performing prayers at the proper
times as well as the ablution, which precedes the prayer. Getting up in the early
morning to perform dawn prayer when one is still drowsy and during the day when one
is busy with work and at night when one is preoccupied with family and other activities
is a good example of self-discipline.
Muslims are obliged to offer their prayer under all circumstances. It is a religious duty
that Salah can be performed even if one is ill or on a journey. Simply, the Salah can be
performed in a sitting position if one cannot get up or in a lying position if one cannot
sit or even by signs if one cannot move hands or other parts of the body. In all cases,
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
13

Muslims have to fulfill their obligation of Salah because God made it easy for everyone
as the Quran says:
Surah Baqrah Chapter #02 verse #185
Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties.
ii. Collective Benefits
It is apparent that mere individual benefits are not sufficient for mankind, but
collective or social benefits are also necessary, because individual traits alone
cannot bring any meaningful results, unless the society in which he lives, does
not also share those same traits. Man cannot live in isolation, his brothers, his
relatives, his neighbors all have interaction with him. Prayer fulfill the need of
social life, and structures society and brings it to life to five times a day. It is
therefore we have Divinely ordained to offer 5 times Salah in congregational.
Muslims are provided with many opportunities for gathering in various
occasions. The mosque is open for individuals to pray voluntary the daily
prayers and obligatory for Friday prayer and annual prayers at the two Feasts.
Muslims assemble in the mosque and meet each other in these occasions with
the feeling of unity and brotherhood regardless of their social or economic
status. It is an opportunity to know each other and to share their opinion and to
co-operate to solve their problems. They can help one another by supporting
whoever is in need and give generously out of their wealth to the less fortunate
0345-4055044/0332-8697223

And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin
upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement is best.
And present in [human] souls is stinginess. But if you do good and fear Allah -
then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. And you will never be
able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so].
So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you
amend [your affairs] and fear Allah - then indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and
Merciful. But if they separate [by divorce], Allah will enrich each [of them] from
His abundance. And ever is Allah Encompassing and Wise. (Surah An-Nisa)

Problems of Islamic World and Solutions by Wahy

(a) Sectarianism
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And
remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your
hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a
pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses
that you may be guided. (Surah ale-Imran: 103)
(b) Ignorance and Illiteracy
O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then
make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, "Arise," then arise;
Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given
knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do. (Surah: Mujadillah:
11)
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
113

(c) Lack of peace and implementation of shariah
Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that
He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to
those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which
He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear,
security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever
disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient. (surah Nur: 55)
(d) Justice
Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids
immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be
reminded. (surah Nahl: 90)

Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause
them increase, and invoke [ Allah 's blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are
reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (surah Tawbah: 103)

believers witness their punishment. (Surah An-Nur: 2)
(i) Vulgarity

former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His
Messenger. Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the
[Prophet's] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification (Surah Al-ahzab:
33)
(j) Bribery

Comparative study of religions
Hinduism
Introduction
The most popular among the Aryan religions is Hinduism. Hindu is actually a Persian word
that stands for the inhabitants of the region beyond the Indus Valley. However, in common
parlance, Hinduism is a blanket term for an assortment of religious beliefs, most of which are
based on the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
Sources (Scriptures)
There are several sacred scriptures of the Hindus. Among these are the Vedas, Upanishads and
the Puranas are the upper most. The word Veda is derived from vid which means to know,
knowledge par excellence or sacred wisdom. There are four principal divisions of the Vedas
(Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Yajurveda, Samveda). After these there is ITIHAAS: The two epics
of Hinduism are the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

Concept of God in Hinduism
Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to
this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three
gods Bhrama, Shiva and Vishnu. Some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty
three crore i.e. 330 million gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their
scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.
The major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common
Hindus belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
116

living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as god. He
considers the trees as god, the sun as god, the moon as god, the monkey as god, the snake as god
and even human beings as manifestations of god!
Concept of Life after death
Most of the Hindus believe in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, which is called Samsara or
the doctrine of rebirth is also known as the theory of reincarnation or of transmigration of the
soul. This doctrine is considered to be a basic tenet of Hinduism. According to doctrine of
rebirth, differences between individuals, even at the time of their birth are due to their past karma
i.e. actions done in the past birth. For example if one child is born healthy while another is
handicapped or blind, the differences are attributed to their deeds in their previous lives. Those
who believe in this theory reason that since all actions may not bear fruit in this life, there has to
be another life for facing or reaping the consequences of ones actions.
The important point worth noting is that the doctrine of rebirth is not postulated, propounded nor
even mentioned anywhere in what are considered to be the most authentic Hindu scriptures i.e.
the Vedas. The Vedas make no mention of the entire concept of transmigration of souls.

Buddhism
Introduction
Historical criticism has proved that the original teachings of Buddha can never be known. It
seems that Gautama
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
117

Buddhas teachings were memorized by his disciples. After Buddhas death a council was held at
Rajagaha so that the words of Buddha could be recited and agreed upon. There were differences
of opinion and conflicting memories in the council. Opinion of Kayshapa and Ananda who were
prominent disciples of Buddha were given preference. A hundred years later, a second council at
Vesali was held. Only after 400 years, after the death of Buddha were his teachings and doctrines
written down. Little attention was paid regarding its authenticity, genuineness and purity.
Source (Scripture)
The most important of all Buddhist scriptures is the TRI -PI TAKA which is in Pali text. It is
supposed to be the earliest recorded Buddhist literature which was written in the 1st Century
B.C.
The TRI-PITAKA or Three Baskets of law is composed of 3 books:

1.Vinaya Pitaka: Rules of Conduct This is a book of discipline and mainly deals with rules of
the order.
2.Sutta Pitaka: Discourses It is a collection of sermons and discourses of Gautama Buddha
and the incidents in his life. It is the most important Pitaka and consists of five divisions known
as Nikayas. Dhammapada is the most famous Pali literature and contains aphorisms and short
statements covering the truth.
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
118

3.Abhidhamma: Analysis of Doctrine This third basket contains meta physical doctrines and
is known as Buddhist meta physicals. It is an analytical and logical elaboration of the first two
pitakas. It contains analysis and exposition of Buddhist doctrine.
Noble Truths:
The principal teachings of Gautama Buddha can be summarised in what the Buddhists call the
Four Noble Truths:
First There is suffering and misery in life .
Second The cause of this suffering and misery is desire.
Third Suffering and misery can be removed by removing desire. Fourth Desire can be
removed by following the Eight Fold Path.
B. The Noble Eight Fold Path:
(i) Right Views (ii) Right Thoughts (iii) Right Speech (iv) Right Actions (v) Right Livelihood
(vi) Right Efforts (vii) Right Mindfulness (viii) Right Meditation
Concept of God
Buddha was silent about the existence or non-existence of God. It may be that since India was
drowned in idol worship and anthropomorphism that a sudden step to monotheism would have
been drastic and hence Buddha may have chosen to remain silent on the issue of God. He did not
deny the existence of God. Buddha was once asked by a disciple whether God exists? He refused
to reply. When pressed, he said that if you are suffering from a stomach ache would you
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
119

concentrate on relieving the pain or studying the prescription of the physician. "It is not my
business or yours to find out whether there is God our business is to remove the sufferings of
the world".
Concept of Life After Death
To Buddhism, however, death is not the end of life, it is merely the end of the body we inhabit in
this life, but our spirit will stil remain and seek out through the need of attachment, attachment to
a new body and new life. Where they will be born is a result of the past and the accumulation of
positive and negative action, and the resultant karma (cause and effect) is a result of ones past
actions.
Judaism
Introduction
Judaism is one of the major Semitic religions. Its followers are known as Jews and they believe
in the prophetic mission of Prophet Moses (pbuh).

Sources (Scripture)
The complete Jewish Bible is composed of 24 books called the Tanach (). The Tanach is
made up of Torah (5 books of Moshe, the word Torah means 'teachings'), Nevi'im (Prophets),
K'tuvim (Writings).
Concept of God
Unlike other ancient Near Eastern gods, the Hebrew God is portrayed as unitary and solitary;
consequently, the Hebrew God's principal relationships are not with other gods, but with the
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
120

world, and more specifically, with the people He created. Judaism thus begins with an ethical
monotheism: the belief that God is one, and concerned with the actions of humankind.
Concept of life after death
Traditional Judaism firmly believes that death is not the end of human existence. However,
because Judaism is primarily focused on life here and now rather than on the afterlife, Judaism
does not have much dogma about the afterlife,
1. Judaism believes in an afterlife but has little dogma about it
2. The Jewish afterlife is called Olam Ha-Ba (The World to Come)
3. Resurrection and reincarnation are within the range of traditional Jewish belief
4. Temporary (but not eternal) punishment after death is within traditional belief

Christianity
Introduction
Christianity is a Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.2 billion adherents all over the
world. Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred
scripture of the Christians. Christianity teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, God having become
human and the savior of humanity. Because of this, Christians commonly refer to Jesus as Christ
or Messiah. The three largest groups in the world of Christianity are the Roman Catholic Church,
the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the various churches of Protestantism. The Roman Catholic
and Eastern Orthodox patriarchates split from one another in the EastWest Schism of 1054 AD,
and Protestantism came into existence during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century,
splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
121

Source (Scripture)

The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old
Testament is the Holy Scripture of the Jews and contains records of all the prophets of the Jews
that came before Jesus (pbuh). The New Testament contains records of the life of Jesus (pbuh).
The complete Bible, i.e. the Old Testament and the New Testament put together, contains 73
books. However, the Protestant Bible i.e. the King James Version, contains only 66 books as
they consider 7 books of the Old Testament to be apocrypha, i.e. of doubtful authority.
Therefore the Old Testament of the Catholics, contains 46 books and that of the Protestants, 39
books. However the New Testament of both these sects contains 27 books.
Concept of God
Concept of God in Christianity is as Trinity, it refers to the teaching that the one God comprises
three distinct, eternally co-existing persons; the Father, the Son (incarnate in Jesus Christ), and
the Holy Spirit. Together, these three persons are sometimes called the Godhead, although there
is no single term in use in Scripture to denote the unified Godhead. An early statement of
Christian belief, "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are
not three Gods but one God". They are distinct from another: the Father has no source, the Son is
begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father. Though distinct, the three
persons cannot be divided from one another in being or in operation.

Concept of Life after death in Christianity
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
122

Christian eschatology is concerned with death, an intermediate state, Heaven, Hell, the
Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, a rapture, a tribulation, the Millennium,
end of the world, the last judgment, a new heaven and a new earth, and the ultimate
consummation of all of God's purposes. Eschatological passages are found in many places,
especially Isaiah, Daniel, Matthew 24, Matthew 25, and the Book of Revelation.

Creation of Universe: An Islamic perspective

The Islamic view toward the universe is an intellectual, scientific view that creates the human
emotions and feelings toward the greatness of Allah the creator. It also creates emotions and
feelings toward the smallness of the human being and his weakness in front of this universe,
which leads to the necessity to submit to Allah (S.W.T.).

Allah Has created everything

According to The Quran, the life containing universe is solely created by the Almighty Allah and
He is the Supreme Ruler of the universe. In Islamic ideology it is very unambiguous that
whatever exists is created by Allah (swt). As

Allah (swt) speaks in Quran

Surah Rad Chapter # 13 Verse # 16
Say: (Allah) is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and
Irresistible."

Surah Az zumar Chapter #39 Verse #62
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakil (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian)
over all things.

There are many other ayahs (verses) which refer to the fact that all that is on the Earth and in the
Heavens is created by Almighty Allah (swt). Second important fact according to The Quran is
that this universeEarth and Heavens has definite life period and has some definite objectives
like other creations.

0345-4055044/0332-8697223
124

Creation of Universe

Islam is a scientifically inclined religion, perhaps the sole one! In its scripture Qur'an, God
repeatedly appeals to people to travel the earth and observe. Why, He wants them to journey into
the outer space too! He encourages them to look into Nature and examine the life forms and their
activities. He commands them to contemplate upon these matters. That is not all. Qur'an contains
in itself a large number of facts of any array of branches of science. Most of them were
discovered in the last two centuries only, whereas they were existing in the Qur'an since it was
revealed some fourteen centuries ago. That goes to prove that the Scripture of Islam is of Divine
origin. Its author is Allah Himself, His Messenger Muhammad (Pbuh) being its publisher!

The creation of the universe is explained by astrophysicists in a widely accepted phenomenon,
popularly known as the Big Bang. It is supported by observational and experimental data
gathered by astronomers and astrophysicists for decades. According to the Big Bang, the
whole universe was initially one big mass (Primary Nebula). Then there was a Big Bang
(Secondary Separation) which resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then divided to form
stars, planets, the sun, the moon, etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the probability of
it occurring by chance is zero. The Quraan contains the following verse, regarding the origin
of the universe

Surah Al Ambiya Chapter # 21 Verse # 30
Do not the Unbelievers see That the heavens and the earth Were joined together (as one Unit
of Creation), before

We clove them asunder?

The striking congruence between the Quraanic verse and the Big Bang is inescapable! How
could a book, which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400 years ago, contain this profound
scientific truth? This verse makes unmistakable reference to the fact that Allah created the
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
125

universe from a single entity, and He is All-Capable over all things. Allah then ordered this
'single entity' to split, which it did, and turned into a cloud of smoke. From this cloud of smoke
Allah created the heavens and earth. This is mentioned in the words of Allah

Scientists say that before the galaxies in the universe were formed, celestial matter was initially
in the form of gaseous matter. In short, huge gaseous matter or clouds were present before the
formation of the galaxies. To describe initial celestial matter, the word smoke is more
appropriate than gas. The following Quraanic verse refers to this state of the universe by the
word dhukhan which means smoke.

Surah Fussilat Chapter # 41 Verse # 11

Moreover, He Comprehended In His design the sky, And it had
been (as) smoke: He said to it And to the earth: Come ye together,
Willingly or unwillingly. They said: We do come (Together), in
willing obedience.

Again, this fact is a corollary to the Big Bang and was not known to the Arabs during the time
of Prophet

Muhammad (pbuh). What then, could have been the source of this knowledge?

The Qur'an further states that Allah created the sun, the moon, and the planets, each with their
own individual courses or orbits.

Surah Ambiya Chapter #21 Verse #33

"It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun
and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along,
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
126

each in its rounded course"

This is scientific fact that the universe is expanding, the idea that the universe is continuing to
expand is availbe in Quran. "The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are
expanding it" (51:47). There has been some historical debate among Muslim scholars about the
precise meaning of this verse, since knowledge of the universe's expansion was only recently
discovered.

At another place in Quran Allah Discuss about the time period of creation of universe, if you
read the Quran

Surah Al Araf Chapter #7 verse #54

Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is
firmly established on the throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day,
each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all)
governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be
Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!

The verses that mention "six days" use the Arabic word "youm" has two perspective meanings
one as a day and other as a period . The word "youm" is thus understood, within the Qur'an, to be
a long period of time -- an era or eon. Therefore in Quran the description of a "six day" creation
as six distinct periods or eons. The length of these periods is not precisely defined, nor are the
specific developments that took place during each period.

Purpose Of Creation

The universe as a whole is a creation of Allah (swt) that created it for a purpose. Even everything
which you witnessed today is cratered for a purpose. As Allah Says in Quran
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
127

Surah Ad Dukhan Chapter # 44 Verses # 38, 39

"We have not created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play,
We created them not except with truth, but most of the do not
know."

Surah Anbiya Chapter #21 Verses # 16, 17

"We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for mere play. If
We wanted to create aimless things, we would have done it if we were
going to do (that)."

While describing the purpose of creation of universe we can divide it on to two major point of
views, first the purpose of universe from the Creator (Allah) point of view and second the
purpose of creation of universe from creation (Universe, Human, Animals etc) point of view.

First we will discuss the purpose of creation of universe from creator point of view, and we know
that one of the main attribute of Allah (swt) is KHALIQ means Creator so it is the main ability of
God to create. And one of the best creations of Allah (swt) is the creation of universe as Allah
Says in Quran

Surah Ghafir Chapter #40 Verse#57

Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater than the
creation of men: Yet most men understand not.

The Arabic word Khalaq which means to create have two aspects one to create something
from something and other is to create something from nothing and that is the only attribute of
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
128

Allah. It is mentioned in Quran

Surah Mariyam Chapter # 19 verse # 9

He said: "So (it will be) thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: I did indeed
create thee before, when thou hadst been
nothing!'"

As we have already discussed that Allah (swt) has not created anything without purpose. Erath,
Moon, Sun Galaxies these all the best creation of Allah (swt) and these all are fully exploit in the
wellbeing for human being. Human is also the beautiful creation of God with a particular
purpose as mentioned in Quran

Surah Adh Dehriyat Chapet#51 Verse#56
And I did not Create the jinn and humans except they should worship Me.

At another place in Quran purpose of human creation is clearly mentioned

Surah Al Mulk Chapter #67 Verse#02

He Who created Death and Life, that He may test which of you is
best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-
Forgiving.

Conclusion

Now if we compare the Islamic concept of creation of universe appears in The Quran and
Current Big Bang theory, we can see that there are some features of Big Bang theory that are
0345-4055044/0332-8697223
129

closely similar to the Islamic concept of Creation of Universe, for example, creation out of
nothingness, initial singularity, concept of formation of galaxies from primordial gases, and
uniformity of universe on large scale.

We as Muslims believe that Allah (swt) created the heavens and the earth in perfect harmony and
balance, and that He continues to reign over His creation. Muslims find no conflict between this
belief and current scientific theories regarding the creation of earth.
