Introduction:

God is the supreme power, he is the one who created the whole universe, the heavens and Earth, and he who had created the humans, and he is the one and only one who deserves to be worshiped only.

Muslims claim that ALLAH is the God and the only God of all what is created in Universe, and he who had revealed his last book the “Holy Quran” to his last messenger Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

In this holy book, there are many verses that describe Universe Creation, and since Science has advanced a lot in knowing how the universe was created, we can compare the facts from both resources (Quran, Science), and if they match then definitely ALLAH is really the ONE, and he is Almighty God.

Knowing that, Quran is NOT a book of “Science” but book of “Signs”, to show us the wonders of God’s work in Universe.

Declaration:

For those who don’t know Quran and its interpretation, it’s not a mankind book but God’s words, and to understand correctly what is meant by any of its words, you have to note the following:

• Each word in Arabic has many meanings, but one of them must fit the meaning of the complete verse.
• The verse meaning can be clarified by another verse or by one of Prophet Muhammad Hadith (sayings) or interpretation by his companions.
• Each letter in the word itself is a piece of the puzzle, means if the word is singular it means different than being for twice or for a plural, and being in past tense or present or future, then it means something else every time.

The words “Heavens and Earth - السموات والارض” in Quran have many indications, as the following: 

• “Heavens and Earth” only = this means all the 7 universes.
• “Lowest Heaven” means our universe.
• “Sky” means our Earth’s atmosphere, or related to something inside our universe.
• “Skies” means layers of our Earth’s atmosphere.
• “Earth’s” means planets that are the same like our planet, or an Earth or Land in each universe.

And Allah knows better...

If there is any error in scientific explanation or Quran or Hadith interpretations in any of my posts, then it belongs to my weak understanding and my devil only, and not related to ALLAH or his prophet’s words. And if there is something correct then it belongs to “ALLAH” only.

Acknowledgment:

I didn’t have any experience in Astronomy ever before (even now), but I start writing because of a  debate with an Atheist Space expert called as “Doone” on an Atheist forum, which I would like to thank him for showing me the greatness of “ALLAH” that I never knew before, and I may use some of his charts that he gave to me in the below analysis too, so Thank you Doone.

1-    Who did create the universe, and When he started?

[Science]:

Who:

If the scientist is a believer, he will say GOD definitely, but the atheist will say: it was a great engineer who died already, or group of scientists or aliens in other universe who did such experiment that caused the whole universe !!.

When:

Scientists agree on timing of the Big Bang, which is 13.7 billion years before, but before that no one is able to measure or test or see previous events, so scientifically there is no exact answer.

But, they were able to put a calendar of 12 months for universe creation [1], as shown below:

The calendar divides Universe history in 12 months, and we (Humans) are on the last minutes of last day of December.

[Quran]:

Who created the universe? He is Almighty God “ALLAH”, (Allah in Aramaic language means “THE GOD”).

Allah says in Quran:

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs. [Az-Zumar 62]

Originator of the heavens and the earth! How should He have a son when there is for Him no spouse? And He hath created everything and He is Knower of everything. (101) 
Such is Allah, your Lord, There is no god but He, the Creator of everything: so worship Him. And He is unto everything a Trustee. (102) [An-Na’am]

When:

In the following verse, Allah says that he created the whole universe in 6 “Universal” days.

We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days nor did any sense of weariness touch Us. (Qaaf: 38)

In Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Hadith, he says that after creating the heavens and Earth (universes) in 6 days from Saturday till Thursday, God created Adam in last hour on Friday, which matches exactly with the above calendar estimation:

أخذ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيدي فقال " خلق الله ، عز وجل ، التربة يوم السبت . وخلق فيها الجبال يوم الأحد . وخلق الشجر يوم الاثنين . وخلق المكروه يوم الثلاثاء . وخلق النور يوم الأربعاء . وبث فيها الدواب يوم الخميس . وخلق آدم ، عليه السلام ، بعد العصر من يوم الجمعة . في آخر الخلق . في آخر ساعة من ساعات الجمعة . فيما بين العصر إلى الليل " .

الراوي: أبو هريرة المحدث: مسلم - المصدر: صحيح مسلم - الصفحة أو الرقم: 2789 خلاصة حكم المحدث: صحيح

Note: This hadith will be explained later on in Earth Formation (part 3).

So, we are talking about 7 days, and as we know that Universe is created almost in 14 billions (13.7 years after big Bang), therefore the day meant in the Quran verses equal to:

14 billion / 7 = 2 billion years for 1 Universal day.

But whether these 14 billion years were ended or we are still within the 7^th day, the answer is in the following Prophet’s Hadith, which he said it on most important day, not in his life or Islam life but in whole universe life, where he said on his farewell speech, in his final pilgrimage at 13:00 PM  on day of “Arafa” (9/12/10 Hj) dated on Friday 6^th of March 632 C.E:

“إن الزمان قد استدار كهيئته يوم خلق الله السماوات والأرض”

الراوي: أبو بكرة نفيع بن الحارث المحدث: البخاري - المصدر: صحيح البخاري - الصفحة أو الرقم: 4662 خلاصة حكم المحدث: صحيح

Which means: that “The Time” has rounded to the same time when “ALLAH” created the heavens and Earth (universes).

Therefore the moment when Allah created the heavens and Earth (Creation process), equal to:

632.17 (6, March, 632) – 14 billion =

13,999,999,367.83 B.C @ 13:00 PM

Knowing that this day “Arafa, 6^th March, 632 C.E” is mentioned also in the Bible where you can check it on: “70 weeks prophecy” on my blog: “A debate with a Christian”

Therefore the Islamic Calendar for Universe is as following:

2-    How it was created? “Big Bang Theory”, is it true?

[Science]:

The Big Band Theory: Quoted From Wikipedia: “Big bang theory”

In the most common models, the Universe was filled homogeneously and isotropically with an incredibly high energy density, huge temperatures and pressures, and was very rapidly expanding and cooling. Approximately 10−37 seconds into the expansion, a phase transition caused a cosmic inflation, during which the Universe grew exponentially. After inflation stopped, the Universe consisted of a quark–gluon plasma, as well as all other elementary particles.

Quoted from: Big Bang Theory - Common Misconceptions [2]

“There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe.”

Quoted from Wikipedia: “Alan Guth” [3]

 

“Steven Weinberg, who would later have an influence on Guth, had developed the electroweak theory, which was the idea that the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism were once the same force shortly after the Big Bang, when the universe was at a very high temperature. When the two forces became separate, there was spontaneous breaking of symmetry.”

The next figure shows the materials that were forming the universe before the big bang:

Continued from Wikipedia: “Alan Guth”

Inflationary Theory

Inflation would spread them so thin that the average observer would expect to find only a single monopole in the entire observable universe.” The incredibly vast expansion of the universe caused by inflation solved both the flatness problem explored by Robert Dicke and the monopole problem that had been explored by Tye and Guth.”

…….

“The microwave background radiation discovered by Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson appeared extremely uniform, with almost no variance. This seemed very paradoxical because, when the radiation was released about 300,000 years after the Big Bang, the observable universe had a diameter of 90 million light-years.”

…….

Confirmation

“They also found out that distant objects actually moved slower than scientists had expected according to Hubble’s expansion law. This suggested the existence of dark energy existing in empty space responsible for the expansion rate of the universe. It was determined from the supernova projects that omega almost certainly equals one, which was in perfect consistency with the inflation model.”

In Conclusion:

From all the above: Science says that:

Universe was filled by homogeneously and isotropically with an incredibly high energy density, huge temperatures and pressures, it then start inflated in very thin line, there was no “explosion” event, otherwise it will not be thin in its start, but most during very vast expansion, everything appeared.

[Quran]

Although many Muslims scholars confirmed that big bang theory is mentioned in Quran, but it was difficult to approve it that way, since the word “explosion” was not mentioned in the concerned verse, although ALLAH mentioned the word explosion about the streams in the paradise [chapter of Man] but he didn’t use it for the Universe creation [Chapter of prophets: 21]. The following verses explain the whole thing in 3 words only:

The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: "Be!" - and it is. (117)

Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece (Ratqn), then We parted them (Fafataqnahouma), and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? (Quran – 21:30)

Praise be to Allah, the Creator [Fatir] of the heavens and the earth. [Fatir:1]

These verses confirm the following:

1. That Earth and Heaven before the “big bang” were created by him and he is their only originator.
2. The second verse shows that all the Heavens and Earth, in other words “The Universes” were a one piece, describing them being as “Ratqn” exactly means a thing which is strongly welded together!!
3. Then the verse use the verb “Fataqa” that means tearing them into pieces, but the most miraculous thing here, that this word in Arabic is used only for tearing a piece of cloths or a bag only, not for metal, stones nor anything else.
4. The 3^rd word used is “Fatir”, which means literally slit, or cut (open) which is: slit [slɪt]: to make a straight long incision in; split open.

الرَّتْقُ: ضدّ الفَتْق. ابن سيده: الرَّتْقُ إِلحام الفَتْق وإِصلاحُه. رَتَقَه يَرْتُقُه ويَرْتِقُه رَتْقاً فارْتَتَق أَي التأَم.

فتق (الصّحّاح في اللغة): فَتَقْتُ الشيء فَتْقاً: شققته.

فطر (لسان العرب): فطَرَ الشيءَ يَفْطُرُه فَطْراً فانْفَطَر وفطَّرَه: شقه.

And this explains the flat appearance for the universe in very short time and the vast expansion of the components inside due to high temperature and pressure.

In conclusion:

Quranic Theory is close to Inflation theory more than “Big Bang” theory, as there is no explosion, it’s only a splitting in a closed and strongly welded substance in very thin and straight cut, it can be named as “The Great Splitting (cutting) Theory” and can be presented in the following figure: 

3-    Universes Creation:

[Science]:

There are many theories about other universes and its shapes, but they depend that the light range caused by big bang was around 93 billion years, but our universe is around 13 billion years only as shown in the next image [4], so where did the other materials go?

Quoted From Wikipedia: shape of the Universe [5]:

Two strongly overlapping investigations within the study of global geometry are whether the universe:

    * Is infinite in extent or, more generally, is a compact space;

    * Has a simply or non-simply connected topology.

Compact geometries can be visualized by means of closed geodesics: on a sphere, a straight line, when extended far enough in the same direction, will reach the starting point.

The alternative two-dimensional spaces with a Euclidean metric are the cylinder and the Möbius strip, which are bounded in one direction but not the other, and the torus and Klein bottle, which are compact.

In three dimensions, there are 10 finite closed flat 3-manifolds, of which 6 are orientable and 4 are non-orientable. The most familiar is the 3-Torus.

Note, Tours is the arithmetic name for “Ring” shape.

 

[Quran]:

It’s clearly mentioned in the Quran, that ALLAH created the 7 heavens in the 5^th and 6^th days, and he created in the lowest heaven, which is our universe, stars to be guidance for travelers, ALLAH says:

“Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?" (3) Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out (4) And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayâtin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire (5)” [Al-Mulk]

Also, it’s mentioned in the following Hadith:

يا أبا ذر ما السموات السبع مع الكرسي إلا كحلقة ملقاة بأرض فلاة وفضل العرش على الكرسي كفضل الفلاة على الحلقة

الراوي: أبو ذر الغفاري المحدث: ابن حجر العسقلاني - المصدر: فتح الباري لابن حجر - الصفحة أو الرقم: 13/422خلاصة حكم المحدث: له شاهد بسند صحيح

كنا عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاء رجل من أهل البادية عليه جبة سيجان مزرورة بالديباج فقال : ألا إن صاحبكم هذا قد وضع كل فارس ابن فارس قال : يريد أن يضع كل فارس ابن فارس ويرفع كل راع ابن راع قال : فأخذ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بمجامع جبته وقال ألا أرى عليك لباس من لا يعقل ثم قال : إن نبي الله نوحا صلى الله عليه وسلم لما حضرته الوفاة قال لابنه : إني قاص عليك الوصية آمرك باثنتين وأنهاك عن اثنتين آمرك بلا إله إلا الله فإن السموات السبع والأرضين السبع لو وضعت في كفة ووضعت لا إله إلا الله في كفة رجحت بهن لا إله إلا الله ولو أن السموات السبع والأرضين السبع كن حلقة مبهمة قصمتهن لا إله إلا الله وسبحان الله وبحمده فإنها صلاة كل شيء وبها يرزق الخلق وأنهاك عن الشرك والكبر قال : قلت أو قيل : يا رسول الله هذا الشرك قد عرفناه فما الكبر ؟ قال : أن يكون لأحدنا نعلان حسنتان لهما شراكان حسنان ؟ قال : لا قال : هو أن يكون لأحدنا حلة يلبسها ؟ قال لا قال : الكبر هو أن يكون لأحدنا دابة يركبها ؟ قال : لا قال : أفهو أن يكون لأحدنا أصحاب يجلسون إليه ؟ قال : لا قيل : يا رسول الله فما الكبر ؟ قال سفه الحق وغمص الناس

الراوي: عبدالله بن عمرو بن العاص المحدث: أحمد شاكر - المصدر: مسند أحمد - الصفحة أو الرقم: 10/87
خلاصة حكم المحدث: إسناده صحيح

Which means by prophet words: that if comparing the size of the 7 heavens to God’s chair (different than his Great Throne), it would be like a Solid Ring (like doughnuts shape but closed from inside) thrown in a desert.

Therefore, it’s only our universe that carries stars among all universes and it’s the lowest one and not on the top of the universes. These universes are numbered from 1 for ours till the 7^th which is on top.

Of course, God doesn’t exist in any one of them but only his creatures and those entire gigantic universes are like a ring in a desert comparing to his Chair, and his Chair is like a ring too comparing to his Great Throne.

Allah Says in Quran:

Allâh, none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî [Chair] extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (2:255)

But, how the ascending will be through all these heavens?

It's mentioned that the ascending in Heavens is through rounded paths, as in the following verses:

From Allâh, the Lord of the ways of ascent [Maaraj]. (3) The angels and the Rûh [Jibril (Gabriel)] ascend [Taarugu] to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years. (4) [Al-maarej]

The explanation of the word of “Araj” means ascending in rounded path.

وانْعَرَج الشيءُ: مال يَمْنَة ويَسْرة .وانعَرَج: انعطَف . من الله ذي المَعارج؛ المَعارِج: المَصاعِد والدَّرَج. وقيل:مَعارج الملائكة وهي مَصاعِدها التي تَصْعَد فيها وتعرُج فيها؛.

Which matches with Einstein statement the light will move in rounded paths in the universe, knowing that Angles are created from light too.

4-    Universe Expansion, Acceleration & Earth location

[Science]

Quoted from: Visualize large structures of the universe without effort [6]:

“The map shows three principal regions. Region A contains in its lower part the northern half of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, and B is the southern part of this survey. Between these two a dark lane is traversing the image. It's the Milky Way which obscures galaxies there. We also find a large zone named C."

Why it’s expanding and when it was accelerating?

Quoted from: The Dark Side of the Universe:

“1929, when American astronomer Edwin Hubble, making measurements at Mount Wilson Observatory in California, observed that other galaxies are moving away from ours. This observation provided the first evidence that the universe is expanding. Before Hubble's discovery, most scientists had believed that the size of the universe was unchanging. After the discovery, astronomers began to wonder if the universe would keep expanding forever.

……. The surprising discovery of an accelerating expansion rate was based on careful analyses of the brightness levels of exploding stars called type Ia supernovae in galaxies between 4 billion and 7 billion light-years away. Soon after they explode, these supernovae become as bright as an entire galaxy and can be seen over vast cosmic distances. 

……. Therefore, the researchers concluded, the universe has been expanding at an accelerating pace over the past 5 billion or so years.” [7]

[Quran]

Let’s examine the below photos and discover where is our location exactly, it’s shown that our galaxy is in the upper half of the universe and moving with an inclination to above and we are in the direction of universe expansion, but why all that?

It’s explained in the following verses:

Universe Expansion:

Allah Says: And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur'an, 51:47)

Earth Position, and when accelerating started:

Also mentioned in Quran:

Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days And you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the Worlds (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (9)

 
He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in four Days equal for all those who ask (about its creation). (10) 

Then He rose over towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come, willingly." (11) [Fuselat]

These marvelous verses explain the following facts:

That after creation of Earth in 4 days, God rose to heaven and it was a smoke (like in the next figure).

The time was after 4 days which equal to 8 billion years, and within the 6 billion ago and this matches miraculously with science fact above. ALLAH, Almighty God, ordered the Earth and Heaven to come to him, whether they were willingly or unwillingly, they both said: We come, willingly, where then universe acceleration started.

Also, this explains Earth position in the upper half of universe and inclining to the North direction as it’s following Almighty God.

The strange fact that some Humans don’t confess that “ALLAH” is the Creator of whole universe, where the whole universe obey him and is following him too !!!

5-    How was the Universe built?

[Science]

The space was changed from “dust, gas” of light dense state to clusters shape of stars as in the following figure:

To see simulation on this process, watch the lecture of: “Dr. George Smoot on the design of the universe” on Ted.com [8].

But, how Universe structure looks like?

Quoted from: The search for Dark Satellite [9]

This -- roughly -- is what the matter in our Universe looks like on the largest scales. Great filaments of matter connect in a great cosmic web, and the intersections of the largest, strongest filaments correspond to the densest, richest collections of matter in our Universe today, such as clusters and superclusters of galaxies.

Then, how old are these Stars and Clusters?

Quoted from: Star Clusters [10]:

“If you study this diagram closely you will notice a new scale on the right-hand vertical axis. The "years" here refers to the age of the cluster. A cluster such as h + χ Persei is so young that most of its stars are still on the main sequence - they have not yet turned-off. The Pleiades, being slightly older, has no stars hotter than colour index 0 (A0 spectral class) left on the main sequence. The more massive cluster members have already evolved off the main sequence to the giant branches. M67, a very old open cluster has no star hotter than +0.4 colour index left on the main sequence. Of key importance is the turnoff point on the diagram where the cluster turns-off the main sequence. The further down the main sequence the turnoff point is, the older the cluster.”

Conclusion:

According to the above fact and chart, it shows clearly that Sun is the oldest star in whole universe and all other clusters are within 6 to 2 billion years old only.

What kind of gravity that holds the entire universe?

Quoted from Miracles of Quran [11]: 

In his book Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, the theoretical quantum physicist Lee Smolin devotes one chapter to "How to Weave a String" and says this on the subject: 

... space may be 'woven' from a network of loops... just like a piece of cloth is 'woven' from a network of threads. In his book Our Cosmic Habitat the cosmologist and astrophysicist Prof. Martin Rees says: According to our present concepts, empty space is anything but simple... and on an even tinier scale, it may be a seething tangle of strings.

 The University of Pittsburgh physicist Carlo Rovelli presents a model woven like a web in order to represent the microscopic architectural structure of the universe.

The Equilibrium of Universe:

About the perfect tuning of the universe: Watch the video: Physics Prove The Existence of God

Penetration through Universe:

Quoted from: What's the temperature of space?

Because the WMAP measures the non-uniformity details of the universe very well, the data have also been used recently to see if the universe is finite but "wrapped." A "wrapped" universe is one that is constructed like a video game: it looks infinite, but when you move off the edge of the left side, you reappear on the right side [12].

[Quran]

1-     When Stars were created and the universe took its current form:

All is explained in the following verse:

Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in two Days and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is the Decree of Him the All-Mighty, the All-Knower. (Fouselat:12)

Allah clearly states in this verse (after the previous one of accelerating the universe when it was a smoke) that in the following 2 days: he created the 7 Heavens and makes stars in our universe only, and this with a time span of 6 billion years days 5 + 6 + 7^th day (till our time) as per Quranic calendar above.

Now, let’s see the following facts from Quran:

2- The Dark material in the universe: didn’t come from the original substances before the inflation but ALLAH created them, and name it as “the everything between the heaven and Earth” referring to the Dark Material that is filling all inside our Space

We did not create the heavens and earth and everything between them, except with truth. The Hour is certainly coming, so turn away graciously. (Qur'an, 15:85)

Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth and everything in between them and everything under the ground belongs to Him. (Qur'an, 20:6)

We did not create heaven and earth and everything in between them as a game. (Qur'an, 21:16)

(Refer to part 2 to know the source of these dark materials.)

3-   About Universe being a structure (building) and gravity of woven network:

"By heaven furnished with paths (alhubuk);" (51, 7)

The Arabic word "alhubuki," translated as "furnished with paths" in verse 7 comes from the verb "hubeke," meaning "to weave closely, to knit, to bind together." The use of this word in the verse represents the scientific explanation about universe gravity.

4-  The shape of universe is like a roof over us from all sides with rounded sides from all directions, and it holds all together with very strong bonds:

And We have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs. (Quran- 21:32)

And We have built above you seven strong (heavens), (78:12)

Allâh, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a Ceiling (canopy), and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allâh, your Lord, so Blessed is Allâh, the Lord of the Worlds. (40:64)

5-  The universe is a complete structure, the word used her is (BENAA) means a building of blocks, which means it will be the same everywhere and bonded together very firmly, and note that he mentioned only one heaven this means that others may have different forms:

Who hath made the earth for you a carpet and the heaven a structure, and sent down from heaven water, and brought forth therewith fruits as a Provision for you; wherefore set not up compeers unto Allah while ye know. (Al-baqra: 22)

6- The miracle of complete equilibrium in whole space without a slight change or “discrepancy” in the overall matter density, temperature, or expansion rate is also mentioned in:

He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any discrepancy in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again-do you see any gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted! (Qur'an, 67:3-4)

7-  The penetration through universe borders:

It’s clear mentioned in the following verse that it’s impossible to penetrate through universe without authorization from ALLAH:

O assembly of jinn and men! If you have power to pass beyond the zones [Sides] of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allâh)! (33)

6-    Universe Wonders:

A- Black holes:

[Science]

Quoted from Wikipedia: Black Holes [13]:

A black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape. It is the result of the deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact mass. 

Once a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by absorbing additional matter. Any black hole will continually absorb gas and interstellar dust from its direct surroundings and omnipresent cosmic background radiation.

[Quran]

It’s mentioned exactly in the following verses:

So verily, I swear by (the planets, or stars) what recede (Khunas: covered, or disappeared). (15) That move swiftly and sweep (Kunas), (16) [Takwir]

 (خنس) ومنها: التواري والاحتجاب والاختفاء. (الكنس) جمع مكانس.

B- Pulsating stars:

Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation. And has repeated giant voice, you can listen to it on the following video:

[Quran]

And it’s mentioned in Chapter of Tareq:

By the heaven, and At-Târiq (Pulsating star); (1) And what will make you to know what At-Târiq is? (2) (It is) the star of piercing brightness; (3) [Atarq]

And the verb “Taraq” comes from the voice of knocking on the door, which is the same voice of pulsating star, and which its main distinguish feature.

C- The Star Sirius:

Watch the following interesting video about the Star Sirius, the only star name mentioned in Quran. 

D- Diminishing Stars:

Or what is called as “Moment of Death” of star, it looks like in the following figure.

Which it’s best described in Quran too as:

Then when the heaven (Star) is rent asunder, and it becomes rosy or red like red-oil (Arahman: 37)

A Red like red-oil (drawn by) !!

Adj.1.asunder - widely separated especially in space; "as wide asunder as pole from pole"

As explained before, when mentioning heaven or sky in Quran, it could mean anything in the space including stars or planets or asteroids, etc…

E- Stars Positions

Of course due to the large distance between Earth and other far stars, when their light arrives to Earth after traveling in space for millions or billions of years, the star might already moved from their location or even diminished, so we are looking on their previous positions not the actual stars.

[Quran]

This astonishing fact is mentioned in Quran too:

Therefore (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous. (74) Nay, I swear by the places of the stars - (75) And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew (76) That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an (77) In a Book kept hidden (78) Which none toucheth save the purified (79) A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. (80) [Al-Waqaa]

7- Unexplained Signs Yet:

A- Ways in the Space

It’s mentioned clearly in Quran that there are 7 paths in the universe over us:

And We have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of creation. (17) [Moumnoun]

إذا وصفت القَناة بالذُّبُول قِيل قَناة ذات طَرائق، وكذلك القصبة إِذا قُطِعَتْ رَطْبة فأَخذت تَيْبَس رأَيت فيها طَرائق قد اصْفَرَّت حين أَخذت في اليُبْس وما لم تَيْبَس فهو على لوْن الخُضّرة، وقد يُجْمَعُ: طَرائِقَ، وكلُّ أُحْدورَةٍ من الأرضِ، والخَطُّ في الشيءِ،

Among the meanings of the word “Tara’eq” the ways inside soil like worm lines, canals, or lines in old tree or branch. So, is it referring to ‘Worm tunnels” or not? Maybe…

B- Holes into Other Universes

It’s mentioned in the well-known Hadith of Death, that the angles open a Window to the unbelievers’ spirits in their graves to see their positions in Hell:

"…القاصف فيجلسانه ثم يقولان يا هذا من ربك فيقول لا أدري فيناد من جانب القبر مناد لا دريت فيضربانه بمرزبة من حديد لو اجتمع عليها ما بين الخافقين لم يقلوها يشتعل منها قبره نارا ويضيق قبره حتى تختلف أضلاعه ويأتيه قبيح الوجه منتن الريح قبيح الثياب فيقول جزاك الله شرا فوالله ما علمت إن كنت لبطيئا عن طاعة الله سريعا في معصية الله فيقول وأنت فجزاك الله شرا من أنت قال فيقول أنا عملك الخبيث ثم يفتح له باب من نار فينظر إلى مقعده منها حتى تقوم الساعة ". الراوي: البراء بن عازب المحدث: ابن جرير الطبري - المصدر: مسند عمر - الصفحة أو الرقم: 2/500 . خلاصة حكم المحدث: إسناده صحيح

So, is this a “Worm Hole” between 2 universes?!..

C- Universe Gates

In the story of raising the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Angel Gabriel, they reached the gate of the first heaven (our universe), as mentioned in the following Hadith:

بينا أنا عند البيت بين النائم واليقظان - وذكر : يعني رجلا بين الرجلين - فأتيت بطست من ذهب ، ملئ حكمة وإيمانا ، فشق من النحر إلى مراق البطن ، ثم غسل البطن بماء زمزم ، ثم ملئ حكمة وإيمانا ، وأتيت بدابة أبيض ، دون البغل وفوق الحمار : البراق ، فانطلقت مع جبريل حتى أتينا السماء الدنيا ، قيل : من هذا ؟ قال جبريل ، قيل : من معك ، قيل : محمد ، قيل : وقد أرسل إليه ، قال : نعم ، قيل : مرحبا ولنعم المجيء جاء ، فأتيت على آدم فسلمت عليه ، فقال مرحبا بك من ابن ونبي ، فأتينا السماء الثانية ، قيل : من هذا ، قال : جبريل ، قيل : من معك ، قال محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ، قيل : أرسل إليه ، قال : نعم ، قيل : مرحبا به ولنعم المجيء جاء ، فأتيت على عيسى ويحيى فقالا : مرحبا بك من أخ ونبي…    الراوي: مالك بن صعصعة الأنصاري المحدث: البخاري - المصدر: صحيح البخاري - الصفحة أو الرقم: 3207 خلاصة حكم المحدث: صحيح

Is this related to the new Holes discovered in Universe and they are not black holes, as mentioned in “Is there a hole in the universe?” [14]

Also, the questioning of the Gatekeeper to the Angel Gabriel about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): “He has been sent already?”, may also refer to the time shift in the universe where the Gatekeeper didn’t know that Prophet Muhammad time has come!!!

Very interesting sign too…

4- Sky Towers

By the Heaven, of Towers “Bouroug” (1) [Al-bouroug]

The word “Bouroug” means in Arabic: towers, forts, or castles. So, w here does this exist in space? Is it related to stars linked with galaxy but far from its center? Like in this figure for Milky way:

Or it meant the towers of Gas that were seen in the space as in the below figure:

5- Sky Listening Chairs (locations, or Stations)

It’s mentioned in Chapter of Jinn the following interesting verses:

'And they thought as you thought, that Allâh will not send any Messenger (to mankind or jinn). (7) 'And we have sought to reach the heaven; but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.(8) 'And verily, we used to sit there in stations, to (steal) a hearing, but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush. (9) [Jinn]

But, here we have critical questions to answer:

Q- How were the Jinn able to reach the roof of universe (heaven) in that short time? (Worm tunnels !!).

Q- What are the stations that are located near universe roof, so they can hear (see) the future from? Can Mankind reach such point too? (Time shift maybe !!)..

Q- What kind of stars that send on them fire flames? (shooting stars) 

6- Shooting Stars:

Is it related to fusion from some giant stars shouting the devils as shown in the below figure [15]:

Is it the same what ALLAH explained in Quran as following:

And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps (stars), and We have made such lamps (as) missiles to drive away the Shayâtin (devils), and have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire (5) [Al-Mulk]

Finally, a message from ALLAH to all scientists who see such signs by their own eyes and due to their own work:

We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur'ân) is the truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things? (53)

Verily, they are in doubt concerning the Meeting with their Lord? (i.e. Resurrection after their death, and their return to their Lord). Verily! He it is Who is surrounding all things! (54) 
[Chapter 41]

Thanks to ALLAH, Lord of the Worlds
