Quran /51- « The Wind and What it Distributes Over the Universe» AL ZARIYAT «Meccan» /

Introduction

In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful,)
« The Wind and What it Distributes Over the Universe » AL ZARIYAT « Meccan »
Allah in asseveration of the truth of Day of Judgement, swears to people by some physical and spiritual phenomena, Allah also alludes to an astronomical fact discovered by scientists only recently and considered fundamental; that is, the expansion of the universe (verse 47) «... and We are expanding the universe ».
It took eighteen centuries before scientists knew that the universe is expanding. On the other hand the Quran stated emphatically that the universe has always been expanding, and that was more than fourteen centuries ago. Knowledge of an expanding universe was first predicted by astronomer De Sitter when Einstein’s equations were developed into a cosmology.
It was the great American Astronomer Edwin Hubble (1899 - 1953 ) who proved that galaxies of stars exist outside our own Milky way galaxy and discovered that the universe is expanding ,* When it is realized that the discovery was the result of endless studies made by several means which included: development of large telescopes, spectroscopy, radio astronomy (radio waves) and other means, non of which existed fourteen centuries ago, then it is hoped that the Non-Muslims may be willing to pause to think of the credibility of the Quran. Today it is an established fact that the universe is expanding. In fact, it is a fundamental part of cosmology.
