Creation of the universe in the Qur'an - Part 3. The dark smoke of the primordial universe is mentioned in the Qur'an.

The Big Bang is only the first step in the creation of the universe. After the Big bang, space is created, time has begun and the matter is created. After the Big bang, the universe expanded exponentially in a very, very small fraction of a second. This phenomenon, known as inflation, occurred much faster than the speed of light. The space itself expanded and reached the size of a golf ball in just 10-34 (10 raised to -34) seconds from nothing. In the first second after the Big Bang, the entire universe was filled with subatomic particles such as neutrons, protons, electrons, anti-electrons, and neutrinos.  Within the first minutes of the Big Bang, subatomic particles - neutrons and protons joined together to form the nucleus of atoms. The nuclei of deuterium, tritium, helium, and lithium   began to form. This is known as the Big Bang nucleo synthesis. Within a few minutes, the extreme temperature of the first seconds of the universe had dropped dramatically. After the fi...

In part 1 we explained the creation of the universe began from nothing.  بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: When He decreeth a matter, He saith to it: "Be", and it is. (Surat:2, Verse:117) This is the basic concept of big bang theory- The universe is created from nothingness. The universe is not eternal, it has a beginning and it has an age. Latest scientific evidences says that the age of the universe is around 13.8 billion years.  In just 10-34 seconds (10 raised to -34) the primordial universe was the size of a golf ball. It expanded rapidly and formed sub-atomic particles. Gradually, the hydrogen nucleus, the atom, stars and planets formed.  See what the Holy Qur'an says أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًۭا فَفَتَقْنَٰهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ Do ...

Creation of the universe. Part1.The big bang explained in the holy Quran. The universe is not eternal; it is created.

  Holy Qur'an is the words of Allah, the Creator of the universe, as a guidance to the mankind. The Holy Qur'an is the last among the holy books, revealed to the last Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Qur'an has existed without any change for more than fourteen hundred years. The Holy Qur'an teaches that only Allah, the Lord of the worlds, is to be worshiped, it gives glad tidings to those who believe and do good deeds about the Paradise and warn the transgressors about the Hell. Qur'an is neither a science textbook nor is it meant to teach us science. But, since the Qur'an was revealed by Allah, the Lord of the worlds, there can be no scientific error in it. Strictly speaking, there should be nothing in the Qur'an that contradicts the scientific facts proven by science.  This is a simple attempt to understand the verses of the Qur'an related to the origin of the universe and to examine its scientific accuracy. Since ancient times, man has been ...
