1. The Big Bang & The Holy Quran
Made By:
Usman abrar And Asad javed

2.  What existed then at the
beginning of the universe?
 How did it begin, and why?
 Why did it take the form it
did?
 Who are we? Where did we
come from, and why for?
 Where are we going?

3. SHALL WE PUT IT THIS
WAY?
S. Hawking:
 This picture of a universe that started off very hot
and cooled as it expanded is in agreement with all
observational evidence that we have today.
 We are therefore thoroughly confident that we have
the right picture, at least back to one second after the
big bang.

4. THE PERFECTION OF
CREATION?
 The universe started out with so nearly the critical rate of
expansion to just avoid re-collapse.
 If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had
been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand
million million, the universe would have re-collapsed before
it ever reached its present size.
 On the other hand, if the expansion rate at one second had
been larger by the same amount, the universe would have
expanded so much that it would be effectively empty now.
 Roger Penrose showed that the probability of a universe like the one
in which we exist, out of the array in „phase space‟ of possible
universes, is 1 in 10 to the power 123, a number too big to be written
down in full even if every proton in the entire universe were used to
write a digit on.

5. THE PERFECTION OF
CREATION?
 The balance and precise strength of the
fundamental gravitational, electromagnetic and
nuclear forces needs to be exactly what it is if
conscious life is to exist. So Peter Atkins says:
 If nuclei were bound together slightly more weakly, or
slightly more strongly, the universe would lack chemistry.
 If the electric force were slightly stronger than it is,
evolution would not reach organisms before the sun went
out.
 And if it were only slightly less, stars would not have
planets, and life
would be unknown. Peter Atkins, Creation Revisited, p. 23.

6. THE INEVITABLE
CONCLUSION
Hawking:
 This means that the initial state of the universe must have
been very carefully chosen indeed if the big bang model was
correct right back to the beginning of time.
 It would be very difficult to explain why the universe
should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God
who intended to create beings like us.

7. GUIDANCE IS FROM
ALLAH (S)
 However, this conclusion was not sufficient
for Stephen Hawking to acknowledge that
act of God even though it is full agreement
with all observational evidence available today.
 This is because, I suppose, he did not
investigate the evidence that God provided when
He claimed the creation of the universe.
 This evidence can be seen in His description to
what He created. Here is some of this evidence:

8. THE EVIDENCE OF GOD:
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
BOOK OF CREATION & THE
BOOK OF REVELATION
Allah (S) said: Soon We will
show them Our Signs on the
horizons (of nature), and in
their own (creation), until it
becomes manifest to them that
it (Quran) is the Truth. Is it
not enough that your Lord is
witnessed (via His signs) on
all things?” [41:53]

9. FAILURE OF
PREDICTABILITY AT THE BIG
BANG SINGULARITY
 At the big bang singularity, the density of the universe
and the curvature of space time would have been infinite.
Therefore, the general relativity and all other physical laws I
ncluding the laws of vision and perception, which are based on
the assumption that space-time is smooth and nearly flat, would
break down.
 One cannot predict what would come out of the singularity,
which is the moment of creation.
 Allah (S) regarding this failure of predictability and lack of
any scientific vision or description of that moment said:

10. FAILURE OF PREDICTABILITY AT
THE BIG BANG SINGULARITY
“I did not make them
witness to the
creation of the skies
and the earth or to
the creation of
themselves, and I
would not have the
misguiders as
assistants.”1851.

11. THE INITIAL DISTANCE BETWEEN
COSMIC BODIES WAS ZERO
 At the beginning, the distance
between the neighbouring
galaxies was zero, therefore, the
universe was one entity, and as it
expanded, all cosmic structures
started to take shape.
 This is mentioned in detail, without
any metaphoric indications, by Allah (S):
 “Have those who disbelieved not
considered that the skies and the
earth were a joined entity, and We
separated them and made from water
every living thing? Then will they not
believe?”2130.

12. THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE
 The discovery that the
universe is expanding was one
of the great intellectual
revolutions of the twentieth
century, said Stephen
Hawking.
 However, this great
intellectual revolution of the
last century was mentioned in
the Holy Quran fourteen
centuries ago. Allah (S) said:
“And the sky We constructed
with strength, and indeed, We
are expanding it.” 51/47.

13. CREATION OF COSMIC BODIES
FROM CLOUDS OF GAS & DEBRIS
 The cosmic bodies: galaxies,
stars and planets including
earth were formed of cosmic
clouds of gas and debris.
 Allah (S) mentioned that in the
verse: “Then He directed His power
and will to the sky while it was
smoke and said to it and to the
earth “come (into being) willingly or
by compulsion”. They said: we have
come willingly.” 41/11.

14. THE BIG CRUNCH
 It is a fact that the universe is expanding since the
moment of its creation.
 One of Friedmann‟s models of the expanding
universe is that the universe is expanding so sufficiently
slowly that the gravitational attraction between different
galaxies would cause the expansion to slow down and
eventually to stop.
 The galaxies then would start to move toward each other and
the universe contracts.
 The distance between two neighbouring galaxies starts at zero,
increases to a maximum, and then decreases back to zero again.

15. THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE
However, the fact about the
end of the universe is
mentioned in the Holy Quran,
Allah (S) said: “The Day when
We will fold the sky like the
folding of a [written] sheet for
records. As We began the first
creation, We will repeat it. [That
is] a promise binding upon us.
Indeed, We will do it.” 21/104.

16. WHY THE UNIVERSE BEGAN?
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
 “And I did not create the
Jinn and humankind except
to worship Me.
 I don‟t want from them any
provision, nor do I want them
to feed Me.
 Indeed, it is Allah Who is the
[continual] Provider, the firm
possessor of strength” [51:56-8]
