If
we studied all the Quranic verses that speak regarding the sky, we
would find that the information is exactly what we see today concerning
the wide universe. What does this prove? Let us read ….
Allah (SWT) says:
“And among his signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by his
command. Then afterwards when He will call you by a single call, behold,
you will come out from the earth” [Ar-Rum:25]. There is a strong
sign about gravity in this verse; however gravity was discovered in the
twentieth century. The Gravitational force helps connect the universe’s
components so they will not be detached or shattered. In 1912, Inestine
gave scientific explanation to the secret of the universe’s bond
through gravity waves.
However, the Quran spoke regarding this secret fourteen centuries ago. Allah (SWT) says: “the heaven and the earth stand by his command”.
The gravitational force is among Allah’s creations, it works by His
command. The heaven and the earth and all of the universe’s components
couldn’t maintain functioning and bonding without this force which is a
command from Allah almighty.
In
this picture, we see “The Eagle Nebula” which is a young open cluster
of stars and clouds made from gas and dust. It is a fine construction.
At the center of the picture, we can see what the scientists named
“Pillars of Creation”. Scientists address pillars of gravity that can’t
be seen, we remember Allah’s (SWT) saying: “Allah is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see.” [Ar-Rad:2]
There
are many verses that indicate the authenticity of universal gravity,
and that the stars could not link to each other without the
gravitational force. However, non-Muslim scientists believe that the
gravitational force is found by chance. On the other hand, the Quran
talks about Allah’s almighty power and control over the gravitational
force to hold these stars. He, The Greatest says: “Verily,
Allah grasps the heavens and the earth lest they should move away from
their places and if they were to move away from their places, there is
not one that could grasp them after him. Truly, He is Ever Most
Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving” [Fatir: 41].
Moreover,
in their research, scientists speak regarding “giant universal
buildings” which are consisted of galaxies. The Quran, however, talked
regarding these buildings before the scientists and called them
“Zodiac.” Allah Almighty said “It is We Who have set out the Zodiacal
signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders.”
[Al-Hijr: 16]… there are tens of verses that agree with what the
scientists see today via telescope.
We
say to those who suspect the final message (Al-Islam): how could the
illiterate prophet Muhamed (peace be upon him) provide such accurate
descriptions regarding the universe similar to what we know today? These
verses are reliable evidence that the prophet was sent from Allah
almighty, and that every word mentioned in the Quran is the truth from
Allah (SWT). He the greatest says: “And they
ask you (O Muhamed (peace be upon him)) to inform them (saying): “is it
true (i.e. the torment and the establishment of the hour-the Day of
Resurrection)?” Yes! By my Lord! It is the very truth! And you cannot
escape it!” [Yunus:53].
Note:
One
brother (may Allah reward him) reminded us that the gravity is an
Islamic not western discovery! We can see that clearly from
Al-Baghdadi’s (lived in Bagdad
11th-12th centuries) speech who talked about laws concerning free
falling objects. He held that when a body starts falling, a residue of
aggressive preference still subsists in it and opposes the natural
inclination (gravity) that causes the body to descend slowing down its
fall. The increase of velocity of the fall is due to the gradual
weakening of the aggressive inclination.
This
clearly shows that Al-Baghdadi spoke of the effect of gravity. Other
Muslim scientists also talked about gravity, such as Al-Khazin in his
book “Balance of Wisdom.“ This proves that Muslim scientists discovered
gravity before westerns.
