The power of Allah almighty is visible through his creation. His human beings can get much motivation towards the right path after observing the dinosaurs and fossils in the past. They can make their belief more strong in Allah if they find out about the origin of life and the begining of the universe.

Adapted from the Book: What Islam is All About By Yahiya Emerick

  Allah Tell Us About the Creation For a Reason

The creator of our life and the universe has given us the holy book. The books contains the holy words that tells about the nature of human beings.

Allah points out, “…if you were to seek a tunnel into the earth or a ladder into the skies and bring them a sign, (they still wouldn’t be convinced.) If it were Allah’s will, He could gather them all into true guidance, so don’t be among those who are influenced by ignorance.” (6:35)

Allah, the Keeper of Wisdom, makes it a point to give as many proofs in the Qur’an about His existence and creative abilities as possible so the maximum number of humans can be guided. We need proof, and Allah gives us that proof. (2:26, 40:57)

Allah, of course, does not need us to follow Him, or believe in Him. As He states, “Allah can do without them and Allah is free of all needs.” (64:6)

Allah wishes that people believe in him before the die, he wishes to reward his best creation which is manking. He is always ready to listen to those who sin and seek his forgiveness in the form of repentence.

In a Hadith, or saying of the Blessed Prophet Muhammad, we learn, “When Allah decreed the creation (of the universe,) He set down in His book which is with Him, ‘Indeed, My mercy is stronger than My wrath.’” (Bukhari & Muslim. Also see 6:12)

Among the proofs given in the Qur’an for us to learn from is a very detailed explanation of the different features of the universe, how it was made and how the planets and stars were formed. Allah says that, “To Him is due the origin of space and the Earth.” (6:101)

 

Allah instructs us to accept everything in the Qur’an, even if we don’t yet know how to understand it. The understanding of the Qur’an grows with each passing generation. As He said, “The intelligent people declare, ‘We believe in the book, the whole of it is from our Lord.” (3:7)

 Islam and Modern Science

Modern day scientists have been awe-struck at how complex and intricate the universe is. (67:3-4)

The science has many branches like astronomy, chemistry, astrophysics and physics etc. There are verses in Quran mentioned by Allah that during the process of human development, there is a stage where we were an ‘Alaq in the womb. (96:1-5)

No one exactly knows how old the universe is except Allah. The early stages of pregnancy  are amazing for the medical scientists as the witness the growth of an egg inside the womb.  This unlocks the mystery of birth. Quran gives many ayahs on the creation of universe.

The Qur’an does not give a single, unified essay on how the universe began. Instead, keeping with the Qur’anic method of teaching, different aspects of creation are mentioned in different places in order to give authority to the particular lesson being taught. (See 30:58)

The verse of Allah are a revelation to mankind that explain us the mysetious creation of the universe and puts the pieces of puzzles again into place.The purpose of Quranic verses is to enlighten us spiritually, like this ayah explains:

Allah begins by stating that the universe and planet Earth took six “days” to create. (7:54)

Here the point to be noted is that one day for Allah may be as long as fifty years or fifty thousand years. He created the matter and molecules to form the nature of life.
