The Big bang

 

 

 

 

To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: “Be,” and it is.
Chapter No. 2, Verse 117

This verse includes the word “primal origin” which means something which is made from a point where nothing existed. This verse is directing towards the fact that the Universe came into being from the point at which nothing was present. In the past, there was a specific moment at which it came into existence. Before that moment, it did not exist. This is a fact which today is getting proved by many evidences at Scientific level.



In today’s highly developed age, it is estimated at the Scientific level that the universe came into existence about 13.5 million years ago. This theory is named as the “Big Bang Theory”.



Thus, the formation of this universe, means that this universe came into existence at a particular moment, is a scientific fact today.But how interesting is this to know that Quran has described this fact about 1500 years ago.


 


The meaning of saying “Be”:


The God’s saying of “Be” doesn’t mean that this order has been given in the form of “words”. Actua

lly this is a type of order which is called a “Creational Command”. It means that the God decided to bring something into existence, and that thing came into existence in exactly the same way which the God wanted.

This also doesn’t mean that the a thing comes into existence in a second following the order of the God. Actually what it means is this that it comes into existence in the same way in which the God wants it to be, in the same time in which the God wants it to come. For example: if the God wants to create universe in 6 sequential stages, then the universe will be created in exactly in those 6 sequential stages, in the same time which the God has allocated it.
