THE BIG BANG

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation for how the universe began. Simply put, it says the

universe as we know it started with an infinitely hot and dense single point that inflated and

stretched

BIG BANG IN THE VIEW OF QURAN

The Qur'an says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We

clove them asunder" (21:30).

Then He turned to the heaven while it was all smoke. He said to the heaven and the earth: “Come

(into being), willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “Here we come (into being) in willing

obeisance.” (41:11)

Thus, the elements and what was to become the planets and stars began to cool, come together,

and form into shape, following the natural laws that Allah established in the universe.

THEORY ON EXPANDING UNIVERSE

There wasn't a single star in the universe until about 180 million years after the big bang. It took

that long for gravity to gather clouds of hydrogen and forge them into stars. Many physicists

think that vast clouds of dark matter, a still-unknown material that outweighs visible matter by

more than five to one, provided a gravitational scaffold for the first galaxies and stars. Once the

universe's first stars ignited, the light they unleashed packed enough punch to once again strip

electrons from neutral atoms, a key chapter of the universe called reionization. In February

2018, an Australian team announced that they may have detected signs of this “cosmic dawn.”

By 400 million years after the big bang, the first galaxies were born. In the billions of years
since, stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies have formed and re-formed—eventually yielding

our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and our cosmic home, the solar system. Even now the

universe is expanding, and to astronomers' surprise, the pace of expansion is accelerating. It's

thought that this acceleration is driven by a force that repels gravity called dark energy. We still

don't know what dark energy is, but it’s thought that it makes up 68 percent of the universe's

total matter and energy. Dark matter makes up another 27 percent. In essence, all the matter

you've ever seen—from your first love to the stars overhead—makes up less than five percent of

the universe.

EXPANDING UNIVERSE IN THE VIEW OF QURAN

“And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily

expanding it”. (Qur’an, 51:47)

LIFE CAME FROM SEA (WATER)

Scientists are exploring several possible locations for the origin of life, including tide pools and

hot springs. However, recently some scientists have narrowed in on the hypothesis that life

originated near a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. The chemicals found in these vents and the

energy they provide could have fuelled many of the chemical reactions necessary for the evolution

of life. Furthermore, using the DNA sequences of modern organisms, biologists have tentatively

traced the most recent common ancestor of all life to an aquatic microorganism that lived in

extremely high temperatures — a likely candidate for a hydrothermal vent inhabitant! Although

several lines of evidence are consistent with the hypothesis that life began near deep sea vents.

LIFE CAME FROM SEA IN THE VIEW OF QURAN

The Qur'an describes that Allah "made from water every living thing" (21:30). Another verse

describes how "Allah has created every animal from water. Of them are some that creep on their

bellies, some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills, for

truly Allah has power over all things" (24:45)
