THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE IN THE QURAN

What you are about to read might sound unusual but it could be very
enlightened


In 1929, in the California Mount Wilson observatory, an American
astronomer by the name of Edwin Hubble made one of the greatest
discoveries in the history of astronomy. While he observed the stars
with a giant telescope, he found out that the light from them was
shifted to the red end of the
spectrum and that this shift was more pronounced the further a star
was from the earth.
This discovery had an electrifying effect in the world of science,
because according to the recognized rules of physics, the spectra of
light beams traveling towards the point of observation tend towards
violet while the spectra of the light beams moving away from the point
of observation tend towards red. During Hubble’s observations, the
light from stars was discovered to tend towards red. This meant that
they were constantly moving away from us.

Long before, Hubble made another very important discovery: Stars and
galaxies moved away not only from us, but also from one another. The
only conclusion that could be derived from a universe where everything
moves away from everything else is that the universe constantly
‘expands’.

To better understand, the universe can be thought of as the surface of
a balloon being blown up. Just as the points on the surface of a
balloon move apart from each other as the balloon is inflated, so do
the objects in space move apart from each other as the universe keeps
expanding.

In fact, this had been theoretically discovered even earlier. Albert
Einstein, who is considered the greatest scientist of the century, had
concluded after the calculations he made in theoretical physics that
the universe could not be static.
However, he had laid his discovery to rest simply not to conflict with
the widely recognized static universe model of his time. Later on,
Einstein was to identify his act as ‘the greatest mistake of his
career’. Subsequently, it became definite by Hubble’s observations
that the universe expands.

What importance, then, did the fact that the universe expands have on
the existence of the universe? The expansion of the universe implied
that if it could travel backwards in time, the universe would prove to
have originated from a single point. The calculations showed that this
‘single point’ that harbored all the matter of the universe should
have ‘zero volume’ and ‘infinite density’. The universe had come about
by the explosion of this single point with zero volume. This great
explosion that marked the beginning of the universe was named the ‘Big
Bang’ and the theory started to be so called.

It has to be stated that ‘zero volume’ is a theoretical expression
used for de******ive purposes. Science can define the concept of
‘nothingness’, which is beyond the limits of human comprehension, only
by expressing it as a point with zero volume’. In truth, ‘a point with
no volume’ means ‘nothingness’. The universe has come into being from
nothingness. In other words, it was created.
The Big Bang theory showed that in the beginning all the objects in
the universe were of one piece and then were parted. This fact, which
was revealed by the Big Bang theory was stated in the Quran 14
centuries ago, when people had a very limited knowledge about the
universe; Allaah says (what means): "Have those who disbelieved not
considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We
separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they
not believe?" [Quran 21:30]

As stated in the verse, everything, even the ‘heavens and the earth’
that were not yet created, were created with a Big Bang out of a
single point, and shaped the present universe by being parted from
each other.

When we compare the statements in the verse with the Big Bang theory,
we see that they fully agree with each other. However, the Big Bang
was introduced as a scientific theory only in the 20th century.

The expansion of the universe is one of the most important pieces of
evidence that the universe was created out of nothing. Although this
fact was not discovered by science until the 20th century, Allaah has
informed us of this reality in the Quran (revealed 1,400 years ago)
saying (what means): " And the heaven We constructed with strength,
and indeed, We are [its expander."[Quran 51: 47]
