Scientific Miracle Of The Quran 1: The Origin Of The Universe

  The origin of the universe is described in the Qur'an in the following verse:
"He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth"
(The Qur'an, 6:101)
This information given in the Qur'an is in full agreement with the findings
of contemporary science. The conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is
that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came
into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred in no time. This
event, known as "The Big Bang" proved that the universe was created from
nothingness as the result of the explosion of a single point. Modern scientific
circles are in agreement that the Big Bang is the only rational and provable
explanation of the beginning of the universe and of how the universe came into
being.

Before the Big Bang, there was no such thing as matter. From a condition
of non-existence in which neither matter, nor energy, nor even time existed,
and which can only be described metaphysically, matter, energy, and time were
all created. This fact, only recently discovered by modern physics, was
announced to us in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. ;
