Scientists
are still researching the secrets of the universe, however, despite the
great progress; they admit that their knowledge regarding the universe
doesn’t exceed 5%. ….
Is there a koranic sign for that?
Even
with modern science and recent discoveries about the universe,
scientists have confessed their limited knowledge and understanding of
the great universe, and admit that they expect to remain unaware of the
answers to the universe’s secrets and oddities. Despite developing
science, scientists’ knowledge will remain limited just as the Quran
assures in Allah’s (SWT) saying: “And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little” [Al-Isra: 85].
Western
scientists declare their limited knowledge and admit that they still
lack a lot of information regarding the universe’s secrets. The
president of the central airplanes and space in Germany,Johann Dietrich Forner,
says that the world hasn’t discovered more than 5% of the incredible
universe’s secrets. Moreover, scientists don’t comprehend more than 5%
of the available discoveries and 95% of these discoveries remain
mysterious and are considered dark materials or puzzling power. Furner
also predicted the existence of aliens but that mankind won’t be able to
recognize them with current technologies.
However
Michael Graven, the president of NASA, refuses the ideas adopting the
existence of extra-terrestrial creatures and said that they are myths
and that there is no scientific proof, but admits that they help in
understanding of the universe. Scientists defend the high costs of space
research because the information collected provides great benefits; for
example, airplanes that can fly with the aid of satellites. Also,
satellite TV channels, improved weather forecasting, and medical
research of diseases concerning blood circulation and immunity defects;
all rely on the research of space science.
Both
scientists don’t believe in the existence of a planet other than the
Earth where humankind can survive. However, in their opinion, the desire
of exploring the mysteries and searching for the unidentified will
encourage humans to continue their journey of searching. The humans’
knowledge regarding the universe is a lot less than 5%; and there are
many undiscovered planets and lots of worlds such as the jinn’s world
and the angels’ world that remain scientific mysteries!
Although
some scientists don’t believe in the existence of aliens in the actual
world, there is a strong desire that drive them to search for such
creatures. This demonstrates that humans have many questions regarding
the universe’s origins; such as who created the universe, why was it
created, and are there other living things?
Questions
such as these can’t be answered from nature; it is Allah (SWT), who
created the humans, and placed those questions in their hearts. Perhaps
we might comprehend a new meaning in Allah’s Almighty saying: “And
(remember) when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from
their loins, their seed and made them testify as to themselves
(saying): “Am I not your Lord?” They said: “Yes! We testify,” lest you
should say on the Day of Resurrection: “Verily, we have been unaware of
this.” [Al-Araf: 172]. We can say that the
necessary programs to continue living, and for the human to comprehend
the capability of his Creator (SWT) Allah has provided in each cell of
our bodies! Meaning that it is human nature to ask about the secret of
creation, the creator of universe, the purpose and meaning of life, and
what happens after death….all are questions from Allah (SWT) who said: “Am
I not your Lord?” They said.” Allah (SWT) has put deep inside each cell
of this creature questions that should lead him to believing in Allah
almighty. However, humans are arrogant, disbelieving, and in denial!
The
scientists’ acknowledgment regarding the little quantity of knowledge
about the universe despite the enormous technological and scientific
developments in this new era means that Allah (SWT), The Universe
Creator, does not allow any of his creatures to obtain knowledge except
by His permission. Allah (SWT) says: “And they will never compass anything of His knowledge except that which He wills” [Al-baqarah: 255]. He Almighty also says: “(Allah)
made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth and
not (even) their own creation, nor was I (Allah) to take the misleaders
as helpers” [Al-kahf: 51]. Despite how hard
people try in seeking knowledge, they will not gain information of the
universe’s secrets except what Allah (SWT) allows.
I
want to stop in this noble verse and says that it proves that
everything the scientists discover is a way of trying to understand the
universe, however, the entire fact is only known by Allah (SWT). This
reality is found in Allah’s book which is the book of facts. When we
read the koranic verse and try to comprehend the meaning regarding
universe, trying to understand the meaning does not mean that we
comprehend the connotation 100%! It is part of investigating, if we were
correct we will have two rewards, and if we were mistaken we
(inshaallah) will have a reward as long as sincerity is our way in
researching.
And
we say that scientists will not achieve the certainty except if they
read the Quran and follow its commands. The Quran tells us facts and
gives us the basic science in researching while scientists today remain
uncertain about their research and lack a goal or a base. The Quran, on
the other hand, gives us the purpose and shows us the way; Allah (SWT)
says: “say:
“Travel in the land and see how (Allah) originated the creation, and
then Allah will bring forth the creation of the Hereafter. Verily, Allah
is Able to do all things.””[Al-Ankabut: 20]. This verse is made of four
parts:
1- (say:
“Travel in the land) God’s command to travel the earth, search and
discover, but what to discover? The answer is found in the second part
of the verse.
2- (and see how (Allah) originated the creation)
He (SWT) showed us the way of searching, to search the secrets of the
origin of the universe and the creations. But why to search, and for
what propose? The answer is in the third part of this verse.
3- (And then Allah will bring forth the creation of the Hereafter)
Here we find the purpose of searching is to realize that Allah (SWT),
the initiator of the universe, is capable to bring forth the creation of
the Hereafter.
4- (Verily, Allah is Able to do all things),
this is another purpose, to realize that Allah (SWT) is capable of
everything; He is capable to create the universe, to bring forth mankind
and to judge them. So don’t be sad oh human! Allah (SWT) will give you
your rights in this life and the hereafter.
Hence,
in one verse, we found a complete curriculum to search the creation’s
secrets, the purpose of this research, and the answer for that search.
By Allah (SWT), how could illiterate person living in the seventh
century speaks this way?!
