The Expanding Universe
(Science and Quranic explanation)

“The most credible thing about this universe is that; it is incredible”.
Off course, a couple of years ago Einstein scrupulously quoted a fact, this universe is not only incredible bBut mind-bogglingly unpredictable as well. When the researchers go through its vastness they realized that our solar system is a happened to be a mere part of Milky Way galaxy, that is itself nothing than a grain or granule in comparison with the great “Andromeda galaxy” lives far enough apart, approximately at a distance of 23 billion light-years. It is no longer be a mystery that there would have been millions of such galaxies gyred around all over the universe, today the researchers & scientists are come up With the unique idea of multiverses (a collection of many disconnected universes) and an infinite variety of Universes that is astronomically termed as “Bubble theory”, a realm of thought for Astrophysicists, might be some day they will end up with a conclusion.
Is not that fascinating & wondering, when we go with that mind-blowing question of ours, that how much vast this universe is? whether it was same at the beginning of time, the Big Bang, or it has been changed with the course of time?
So, now go through the further details and try to figure it out, the mysteries, eat off everybody’s mind, whoever is curious about this universe, its origin & a fascinating question, how life arises on planet Earth??
According to the researchers and astronomers approx. 23 billion years ago, this universe was no more than a hot gas cracker/ ball so-called big bang theory that has the great triumph over the mysteries like the origin and the expansion of the universe. When we go with big bang theory, we are in need to start off with a bit of physics of expanding space, that is the expansion of space carrying everything apart of every other thing,the reason that the things those are far enough apart are not chemically or gravitationally bound to each other.
The scientists are going to similize and figure it out from decades and came up with an idea that refers the universe as an unbaked dollop of bread having a bit of raisin, when this dollop heats up and under a specific temperature, it swells out after a course of time and the inner distance among the raisin would increase steadily, seemingly identical to this bread dollop, our universe has been spread out in all directions very often to the big bang and the other galaxies would have been standoff apart from our milky way.
In the early time, the big bang was like glowing fog, extremely hot. The idea of glowing fog could be explained going through into the universe as the reverse. Since then everything in the universe getting closer with a slight increase in the density of universe back in the time, along with the enhancement in the energy of particles, the astrophysicists concluded that this glowing fog might be the physical consequence of the universe getting denser and more energetic. This is the point where the matter and radiation are tied to each other such that matter emits radiations in the form of photons, those give up glow when scattered and gonna produce the glow that is the glowing fog. That is what the universe would have been looking alike in the first three hundred years ago.
Today we are living in a universe that seems to be transparent, this is because the energy eventually would have been so low that the electrons may have recombined with photons to form the neutral hydrogen atom.These photons had been bouncing around in the universe that was very foggy and within a course of time that is a little bit longer, it became transparent. Since then these photons are traveling until they reached us here on earth, today. A great triumph of big bang theory as it hundred percent ally predicts, we are living
In a sea of photons coming up from all directions and the universe is expanding at a steady rate that is a major cause of taking away every object of the universe from every other object.
Edwin Hubble was the first scientist who went through into the realm of expanding universe practically, used the largest telescope of his day at Mount Wilson observatory near Pasadena, cliff to discover Galaxies beyond our own. After the careful research of a couple of years, he mathematically demonstrated The “Hubble law”, considered as the first observational basis for expanding the universe and most often supports the breakthrough of ultimate big bang theory. All the objects in the deep space (having extragalactic space of about 10Mpc) are continuously moving away, that is today referred as redshift, Hubble not only stated this law (bears his name) but also mathematically interpreted redshift measured velocities of various galaxies receding from the earth. These velocities are approximately proportional to the distance of specific galaxy from earth. Hence the rate of this expansion is termed as Hubble constant.
So, now go through the further details and try to figure it out, the mysteries, eat off everybody’s mind, whoever is curious about this universe, its origin & a fascinating question, how life arises on planet Earth??

Edwin Hubble has also credited that the world’s giant telescope ever built bears his name, “The Hubble telescope “is the first major optical telescope to be placed in space. Above the atmosphere, the rain clouds and light pollution, Hubble has an unobstructed view of our universe. It has been used to discover more planets into our own solar system and the most distant stars & galaxies also. About 14,000 scientific papers have been published since then over the data that is collected through Hubble telescope.
However very few of us, The Muslims are quite aware that the widely accepted big bang theory about the origin and the idea of expansion of the universe, proposed by scientists and astrophysicists in the 19th century would have been explained in “Holy Quran” about 1400 years ago.
“Do not the believers see that the heaven and earth were joined together, as one unit of creation, before we clove
Them asunder”.
(Sura e Ambiya; Al-Quran 21:30)
If we go through the real meanings of above verse of Quran, we can easily twig it over that not only this verse is pointing out the expansion of universe but the singularity at the time of origin as well that is the big bang. With a bBit longer passage of time, the galaxies move far far away from our Milky Way galaxy those were joined together in the past. Have anybody consider that a book which first appears in the desert of Arabia, 1400 years ago, claimed.As the book of heaven by a person who is not even considered educated in the current scenario of science and technology, could enlighten such a profound scientific truths?
We have built the heaven with might and it is we who vast extent, and the earth we laid out, how gracious is the spreaders.
( Sura e adh dhariyat, verse 47)
Since the redshift is a clear evidence of expanding universe and spatial distribution of different galaxies, the background radiations and the existence of dark matter throughout the space, Quranic verses reveal these mysteries and outlined the expansion of space at a specific time in the past, but we the Muslims, the true believers of Islam are quite unaware however millions of us daily recite it, but we never try to get over its real meanings.
The particle horizon that changes with time depends on upon the expansion rate of the universe that is accelerating, and there is a bit larger part of the universe that will never be observable, no matter how long the observer waits for the light from those regions to arrive. This boundary that the events could never be observed Astronomically termed as “event horizon” that generally represents the maximum extent of a particle horizon.
Now consider the following verses:
He who hath created the life and death, and hath created the seven heavens in the harmony, thou cannot see any fault in the beneficent one’s creation, then you look again, cannot see any rifts. And verily we have beautified the World’s heaven with the lamps.
(Sura e Mulk 67:1-5)
Off course, this canceled out the existence of any supernatural being which the prominent scientist Stephen Hawking has scrive out continuously for almost a decade, however, his big bang theory got superiority and triumph over all other such mystical concepts that are Reassured by Al-Quran itself. But it canceled out the occurrence of any supernatural being, instead stated that the wellspring of all power is one and only one Almighty Allah.
It is the perfect click that we Muslims realize the need of time and go through the depths of A- Quran which reveals over the mysteries of the universe, likewise its origin and how life arise on earth? The important and the fascinating question in its own right but also a question that is crucial in deciding.
