Abstract Koran and Astronomy Science

Nur Fadlan

On the Creation, we saw how the plurality of the Heavens and Earths was referred to, as well as what the Koran calls an intermediary creation 'between the Heavens and the Earth', modern science has verified the latter. Actually those there are in The Koran, because The Koran is full of reflections on the Heavens. The verses referring to the Creation already contain a broad idea of what is to be found in the heavens, i.e. of everything outside the earth.

 
Some of them are not much more than reflections on the glory of the Creator, the Organizer of all the stellar and planetary systems. These we know to be arranged according to balancing positions whose stability Newton explained in his law of the mutual attraction of bodies. Apart from the verses that specifically describe the Creation, there are roughly another forty verses in the Koran which provide information on astronomy complementing what has already been given.

 
They must be mentioned however to give a realistic idea of the way the Koranic text described the organization of the Universe fourteen centuries ago. The first verses to be quoted here hardly furnish much material for scientific analysis: the aim is simply to draw attention to God's Omnipotence.

 
The correspondence between the Koran and the science of astronomy as a scientifically proven under which the synthesis:

Creation of the Universe. The origin of the universe described in the Koran in the following paragraph: "He is the Creator of heaven and earth." Information given in this Koran fully consistent 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 the result of a great explosion that occurred in an instant. This event, known as the "Big Bang" the entire universe about 15 billion years ago. The universe was created from nothingness as the result of the explosion of a single point. Modern scientists agree that the Big Bang is the only explanation that makes sense and can be proven about the origin of the universe and how the universe came into existence. 

In the Koran there is also an explanation of Separation of Heaven and Earth, Round shapes Planet Earth, Returning sky, The expansion of the Universe, Orbit, etc. All that is the subject of astronomy concepts 

Relationship between the Koran with astronomical events is very clear. Koran essentially scientifically proven facts about astronomy. Because the Koran is God secret, and the absolute truth.
