Scientists say
that before the galaxies in the universe were formed, celestial matter was
initially in the form of gaseous matter. In short, huge gaseous matter or
clouds were present before the formation of the galaxies. To describe initial
celestial matter, the word ‘smoke’ is more appropriate than
gas. The
following Qur’aanic verse refers to this state of the universe by the word dhukhan
which means smoke.
“Moreover,
He Comprehended In His design the sky, And it had been
(as) smoke: He
said to it And to the earth: ‘Come ye together, Willingly
or
unwillingly.’ They said: ‘We do come (Together), in willing obedience.’”
[Al-Qur’aan
41:11]
Again, this fact
is a corollary to the ‘Big Bang’ and was not known to the Arabs during the time
of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). What then, could have been the source of this
knowledge?
