أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًۭا فَفَتَقْنَـٰهُمَا ۖ

“Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and the earth were once one
mass, then We split them apart?”

(Qur’ān 21:30]

The Big Bang – Creation of the Universe

Modern Science

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation for the origin of the universe. Scientists believe that around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began as a single, extremely hot and dense point that suddenly expanded. As it cooled, galaxies, stars, and planets formed, creating the cosmos we see today.

Key Scientific Facts:

The universe began as a singularity — a dense, unified mass

A sudden expansion (Big Bang) separated this mass into galaxies, stars, and planets

Qur’ānic Revelation 1400 Years Ago

“Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and the earth were once one mass, then We split them apart? And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?”

(Qur’ān 21:30)

The Qur’ān describes the heavens and the earth as “one mass” before being “split apart” — a striking description of the Big Bang, revealed more than 1,400 years ago, long before modern cosmology discovered it.

“Allāh was, and there was nothing before Him. His Throne was over the water. He wrote everything in the Book, and He created the heavens and the earth.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — (Sahih al-Bukhari 3191, Sahih Muslim 2653)
“Allāh created all things from water, and the origin of the heavens and the earth was a single mass that He then split apart.”

Have they not travelled throughout the land to see what was the end of those who were ˹destroyed˺ before them?
