Q & A

How does the Quran align with modern scientific principles?

The Quran contains various references to physical phenomena such as gravity, the expansion of the universe, the rotation and revolution of the Earth, and the speed of light. These references are in line with scientific discoveries, demonstrating that science and religion are complementary, not contradictory.

What is the significance of the law of gravity mentioned in the Quran?

The Quran refers to the law of gravity in Surah Ar-Ra'd (13:2), which explains that celestial bodies remain in their orbits due to Allah's power. This aligns with Newton's law of gravitation, which describes how objects are attracted to one another due to gravitational forces.

How does the Quran describe the expansion of the universe?

In Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:47), the Quran mentions the expansion of the universe with the phrase: 'And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.' This corresponds to the Big Bang theory, which suggests that the universe is continuously expanding, a discovery made by Edwin Hubble.

What Quranic verse supports the theory of the Earth's rotation and revolution?

Surah Al-Anbiya (21:33) states that Allah created night and day, the sun, and the moon, each moving in its orbit. This is in line with the laws of motion formulated by Newton, which describe the rotation and revolution of the Earth.

How does the Quran reference Einstein's theory of relativity?

In Surah As-Sajdah (32:5), the Quran mentions a day that is equivalent to 1,000 years of human time. This supports Einstein's theory of relativity, which asserts that time can be perceived differently depending on the observer’s position and velocity.

What is the Quran's explanation of the water cycle?

In Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:18), the Quran describes the water cycle by saying, 'And We sent down from the sky, rain in measure, and settled it in the earth.' This reflects the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that are part of the hydrological cycle.

How does the Quran describe the speed of light?

The Quran references miraculous events like the Isra and Mi'raj, where the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) traveled vast distances in an extraordinarily short time. Modern science measures the speed of light at about 299,792 kilometers per second, and the Quran suggests that the speed of divine action surpasses even this.

Why is it important for Muslims to study science according to the Quran?

The Quran encourages Muslims to seek knowledge as a means to understand Allah's greatness and to improve life. Science is seen as a tool for enhancing faith, contributing to the well-being of humanity, and fulfilling the role of stewarding the Earth responsibly.

What does the Quran say about the misuse of knowledge?

The Quran warns against arrogance and misuse of knowledge. In Surah Al-Isra (17:37), it states, 'And do not walk upon the earth with arrogance.' It emphasizes that knowledge should be used for good, not for harming others or for arrogance.

What are the key responsibilities of Muslims regarding knowledge as per the Quran?

Muslims are responsible for acquiring beneficial knowledge, applying it for the betterment of society, and sharing it with others. Knowledge should bring them closer to Allah, and they must use it responsibly, ensuring it does not lead them away from worship or create harm.
