سَنُرِيهِم

سَ+ نُرِي + هِم

سَ is a particle peculiarly prefixed to the مضارع  aorist rendering it clearly denotative of the future.

It also denotes continuance, permanence/ recurrence of some happening in future. It reflects that thing shall keep happening time and again in the future. Knowledge and facts mentioned in the Book will keep coming into our sight.

نُرِي

First person, plural, masculine. Root ر أ ى

It signifies seeing with the eye, arouse attention, consideration. It also signifies mental perception, conception, notion, idea. It is in any case related to physical senses. When it has two complements it necessarily means knowing, have knowledge.

 

plural, single ءَايَةً

"it properly signifies any apparent thing inseparable from a thing not equally apparent, so that when one  perceives the former, he knows that he perceives the other, which he cannot perceive by itself, when the two things are of one predicament; and this is apparent in the object of sense and in that of the intellect" (Er-Raghib) {Quote from Lane}

A sign, token, mark, by which a person or thing is known.

It is a matter of common knowledge that we perceive and store things in the memory only by comparison. ءَايَةً signifies only apparent thing which has dimensions. And information about a thing can be stored in the memory only when we know its code, i.e. its اسم name and we know its dimensions through focusing our eyes, i.e. بصر .

A piece of information/data/ knowledge. A message, or communication

A- Introduction:

            The Grand Quran has been introduced to the humanity in a unique and unprecedented manner:

"This is the Book, within this is no suspicious matter/statement; this is guide for righteous people" {Refer 2:02}

                Grand Quran has been introduced as a Book. A Book contains written material;  giving information, data, physical facts, narration of facts, events and conduct of the past/generations; knowledge; injunctions/ instructions; procedural code, prescription of lawful and unlawful matter or conduct; segregates or demarcates one thing from another, describes the relationship of things and elaborates the cause and effect of events/rise and fall; and it serves as a Guide giving permanent values and the road map for those seeking the destination.

                  Grand Quran has been introduced as that Book which does not contain something that could be termed as suffering from رَيْبَ. It has been said that this Book is void of any suspected matter. Anything, statement which is not based on absolute knowledge falls in the category of suspected one. It suffers from رَيْبَ. Only that statement and narration would qualify to be called void/free of رَيْبَ if it is based on absolute knowledge and refers to a proven fact not effected in time and space.  

"Do they say, "He {sincere servant upon whom the Book has been sent} has drafted/compiled/fabricated/forged it from his own perception/knowledge/understanding?

No, their perception is wrong; the reality is that this Book is the statement of proven/evident fact from your Sustainer Lord with the objective that you may warn a nation whom a Warner was not sent before you, so that they may get guidance" {Refer 32:03}

         is the exact antonym of رَيْبَ. Its Root is "ح  ق  ق".  The basic concept infolded in it is of becoming something established or confirmed as a fact and truth; manifest/obvious undoubted, authentic, genuine, sound, valid, substantial, real, certain, established and confirmed fact or event. And as a result/sequel of something becoming necessitated, necessary, requisite, unavoidable, binding, obligatory, incumbent or due.

           Firstly the presence of any doubtful/conjectural/wishful/fake/non substantial/substantiated/ hearsay/unconfirmed/non established/invalid/unsound/vague substance in the constituent matter of the Book is negated and then the Book has been declared as .  Negation of negative and then narrating the positive attribute and assigning it as a name doubly confirms and lays double emphasis on the true nature of the Grand Quran.

             Since the Grand Quran is a Guide for the entire humanity in time and space and is the Final Word of Allah till the last day, therefore, it is a matter of utmost importance that it should be made abundantly evident and manifest to block the possibility of any misconception {رَيْبَ} about its source. It has pointedly been argued and clarified in such an irrefutable manner that not a single word/statement of Grand Quran could be attributed or conceived as the utterance/contribution from the personal data/information/sayings {أَحَادِيثَ } heard and saved in memory/knowledge/perception of the Last Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم.

                 The Book contains knowledge. And the condition of human being when he joins the society, takes birth is absolutely weak since:

"And Allah brought you out of the wombs of your mothers in a state that you did not have the knowledge/perception of anything {possessor of dimensions}" {Refer 16:78}

The man is born in a weak state, both physically and metaphorically, that is he lacks knowledge about his surroundings. With the passage of time he gradually becomes physically stronger and stronger and metaphorically also with the gaining of knowledge about his surroundings. He was for this made capable:

 

"And We have made for you the organs/faculty of listening and vision and interpretation/reflection- heart and mind" {Refer 16:78; 32:09; 67:23}

                We know things only by knowing their name {recognizable code} and dimensions/ features. And we can perceive them only when we have converted both as neurological interpretation and observation and saved/captivated them in the memory {عقل}. The faculty of listening is for recognizing the name/code of the things; vision {بصر not نظر which refers to eye ball, mere looking/glancing} determines the dimension/features by focusing eye sight on some thing and heart and brain interpret and determine its compatibility/relativity with other things which enable its storage/captivation in the memory of the brain. Memory is like the hard disk and heart is like the monitor of computer. Data stored in the memory is useless and meaningless until it can be retrieved and seen on the screen of the monitor. If the screen of the computer or the heart of a man becomes blind, the data stored in the memory/hard disk would be of no value even it could be retrieved since it would be merely dots/ neurological signal.

                Knowledge is only of  ءَايَةً , corporeal, real thing having dimensions; and the words of Allah sent in Quran are also called  ءَايَةً since it is said by Him Who knows visible and invisible of everything. Therefore when something is said by All Knower, that is as visible as anything else to the perception of human beings. Anything beyond  ءَايَةً is nothing but conjecture, تخيل, imagination, false, farse. Compressing/preserving/captivating data/information about things is called "عقل" and the process by which we keep comparing/sorting things and finding the difference and relationships is called "تعقل, يعقل" i.e. to reflect/ponder/process the acquired data/information/knowledge to arrive at conclusions/guidance.

                 The pursuit of things and matter would give knowledge about the relationship and nature of things and it involves nothing but a desire and effort since every thing is measured and proportioned and appropriated in relation to everything else. Matter is in measure and then disciplined in a cohesive single unit by the choice of attraction and repulsion amongst things. The relationships are not subject to change. But this is the knowledge of the visible and apparent.

                Wisdom is acquired only when the invisible of the matter/relationship {باطن} becomes visible /perceivable through vision and intellect. But the remote past and remote future is beyond our vision and perception. Notwithstanding what distance we could cover in the past and the future we can never say with confidence/certainty that we have reached and seen/perceived the things at the point of beginning or ending in future. We can never encompass the matter in its entirety not only because of its extremely voluminous and diversified nature but also because we know the skies are expanding all the time, therefore if we can manage to reach its today's last boundary/limit it would have gone farther the moment we reach the point we thought is the ending point. It is an endless pursuit; this is the limitation of our capability of vision and intellect. We will always end up in a closed street.

               Knowledge is primarily divided into two branches; knowledge of things/matter and what happened/was talked about by the people/their dialogues/habits/acts in the past. The knowledge about the matter is verifiable in time and space. Anything said by anyone/book regarding physical matters could be subjected to verification in time and space about its truth to an exact detail. If we find the words of a book relating to physical matters written earlier in time as true and factually and materially correct in all respects then we will have to believe too, in those statements of the Book which narrate some events/dialogues between people of past/historical statements. The falsification test of any book/statement could be the physical one. The facts mentioned in the Quran about the Universe and human body is in itself also the falsification test of the Book.

"We will keep making it visible to the eyes of those who do not accept Quran, the signs/knowledge in the Universe and in their own bodies till it becomes evident for them that this Quran is a statement of proven fact" {Refer 41:53}

                It is a matter of common sense that a man can reflect/ponder/process/analyze only after he has acquired data/information about something. Allah has quite unambiguously informed that knowledge about the universe and human body will progressively reveal to humanity since acquiring of knowledge needs constant and persistent pursuit of things to find mutual relationships. The Grand Quran has informed that Allah will keep revealing, the knowledge about the universe and human body, and it will become manifest to the people that the Quran is a statement of proven fact. Why would it become manifest that the Quran is a statement of proven fact when man sees/perceives new knowledge about universe and human body? If the things mentioned in a book written earlier in time and space are subsequently found a scientific fact only then it is evident to people that the Book is really a statement of proven facts and not conjectural and presumptive.

                 If the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom is understood as gaining information about things and their relationship and finding the nature of things and the universe then it is no more than "wandering" because even if we know everything about everything it will bring us back to the point from where we started this pursuit of knowledge. The destination of the pursuit of knowledge is to know the purpose behind the creation of a thing. A thing is created for a purpose in mind, it is a matter and knowledge of simple common sense. And when we find and conclude that a thing is created with a purpose behind it we find and realize about a creator behind that thing since purpose is related only to a person. The purpose invariably introduces us to the creator of the thing. It is only "تفكر" that could make one realize it.

               Once we reach the stage of understanding that there is a purpose in the creation of everything which in itself creates a conviction that it is for a determined period since the very fact of creation with a purpose implies a predetermined period of the "life" of the thing; We immediately come to the question of the purpose of our own creation. Let us listen to the Grand Quran.

 

Creation of the Universe-

 

            The Grand Quran, in its very first direct address to the humanity, after asking them to become the servants of their Sustainer Lord Who created them and their earlier generations, disclosed the fact that entire creation of physical world which they could perceive {physical sciences} was created by their Sustainer Lord for their advantage and subsistence/sustenance.

"Your Sustainer Lord is the One Who spread/carpeted for you the Earth and made Sky as a canopy.

"And from Sky sent water and with that He took out from variety of  fruits/shrubs, as your means of subsistence.

Therefore do not set up equals/rivals/partners for Allah when you know all this" {Refer 02:22}

                 A man, reaching at the point of attaining the capability of reflection, confronts the physical and social worlds and wants to enquire about it. In the above statement the entire physical world, one could perceive and find around him, has been compacted in just nineteen words. The test of a Book, which claims to be a Guide in time and space and  that this is void of any conjectural and wishful material, is that a reader of ordinary and low intellect should also not get confused/perplexed in perceiving what is being stated otherwise he may loose interest in the Book and may not get guidance there from. And if the Book makes a demand from the reader then it must give him a plausible reason to admit and obey that.

                  The man is told that his Sustainer Lord is the One Who spread for him the earth like carpet and made the sky above him looking as canopy and from the sky sent water with which He produced everything for his sustenance. This is in short the entire universe which is within the reach of the eyes and perception of any man. Everything is interrelated, they are just one unit. Earth and sky are interrelated, sky and water are interrelated and water and the produce of earth have inter relationship. Vision is the primary source of acquiring knowledge. The whole universe is in the vision of human mind like an inter dependent unit. It is matter of common knowledge and perception that a unit is managed, owned and controlled by one therefore men should not consider and hold equals and partners with Allah. And then the Quran unfolds the facts and knowledge of the universe in detail.

 

Creation of Earth; Solid mass spread and carpeted.

 

         Grand Quran has given this information about Earth:

"Your Sustainer Lord is the One Who spread/carpeted for you the Earth" {Refer 02:22}

فِرَاشاً  means spread, expanded. The Grand Quran keeps explaining and defining the words.

"He is the One Who has spread out the Earth like a carpet for you people and for you people had run within it paths/passages for travel" {Refer 20:53}

"He is the One Who has spread out the Earth like a carpet for you people and for you people had run within it paths/passages so that you are guided to destination" {Refer 43:10}

"Have We not spread the Earth plain, even and smooth?" {Refer 78:06}

 مَهْداً : Root:م ه د:To make something plain, even, smooth. Spread a bed making it plain, even and smooth. For this the bed of infant, baby is called . There may not remain a remote possibility for someone to consider and perceive from these statements that the earth was spread, as he finds today, from its very beginning it has been made abundantly evident that it was not in the present shape in the beginning but was subsequently spread and stretched to give it the present shape.

"And the Earth, We had spread her, see it how gracious/best are We the Spreader" {Refer 51:48}

"And He is the One Who spread/stretched the Earth" {Refer 13:03}

"And the Earth, We did spread/stretch her" {Refer 15:19; 50:07}

 مَدَّ,مَدَدْ: Root: م د د: Extend by drawing or pulling, stretch, strain.

"And Allah has made the Earth for you people as a carpet spread out so that you may go along within it through spacious moving paths" {Refer 71:19-20}

 بِسَاطاً: Root: ب س ط : The primary signification of this Root is to expand, spread, stretch, unfold.

               It has thus conspicuously been made evident that the earth was not like the one as we see it today but its present shape and feature is only because it was stretched, expanded, unfolded, strained and spread like a carpet to facilitate and prepared as a suitable abode for the human beings and other creatures. And this unfolding, stretching, laying as carpet was done at a certain point of time {after the coming of second day of our universe but we will discuss it later}.

"And Earth, He spread/placed/set her for living creatures" {Refer 55:10}

"And the Earth after that He spread/stretched/unfolded her" {Refer 79:30}

: Root: د ح و- ى :Spread out, expand, widen.

"{Do they not see/reflect} And towards Earth has she been spread out?" {Refer 88:20}

"And the Earth and that what/who {some thing of masculine gender} expanded her" {Refer 91:06}

 

The Earth was made in such a manner that it could serve as a safe abode for humanity.

"And for you people in the Earth is the safe abode and means of livelihood for/towards an appointed period of time" {Refer 02:36; 07:24}

"Or Who has made the Earth a safe place of abode?" {Refer 27:61}

"He is the One Who has made for you people the Earth manageable/subservient/suited"          {Refer 67:15}

"Have We not made the earth sufficient to sustain/comprehend/congregate/contending place/receptacle; for those alive and those dead" {Refer 77:25-26}

 

             This is the information about the earth which was narrated and made public by a resident of valley of Mecca located in a desert about 1400 years back, the Last Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. And he did not claim that what he stated was his own knowledge or research. Despite that would someone be considered a man of rational attitude if

"Do they say, "He {sincere servant upon whom the Book has been sent} has drafted/compiled/fabricated/forged it from his own perception/knowledge/understanding?

No, their perception is wrong; the reality is that this Book is the statement of proven/evident fact from your Sustainer Lord with the objective that you may warn a nation whom a Warner was not sent before you, so that they may get guidance" {Refer 32:03}

             Me and the majority of my readers are perhaps not sufficiently equipped with the scientific knowledge and its intricacies therefore without going into the scientific studies and Plate Tectonics we certainly know that it is now an accepted fact that at one point of time the earth was a solidified mass and after that Earth acquired its present appearance. And it was made suited to the requirements of a safe abode of humanity on it for a certain period of time. I have mentioned and placed together the Ayat where spreading and stretching of the Earth is mentioned and people having in depth knowledge about matters relating to Earth could expand and elaborate the information given by the Grand Quran.

          Plate tectonics arose from an earlier theory proposed by German scientist Alfred Wegener in 1912. Looking at the shapes of the continents, Wegener found that they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Using this observation, along with geological evidence he found on different continents, he developed the theory of continental drift, which states that today’s continents were once joined together into one large landmass.

Facts about sky; cluster of gasses.

 

              Grand Quran has specifically and conspicuously elaborated the point that before the creation of Earth, solid mass/matter, the Sky which represent gaseous matter was in existence/ created earlier.

Say, "Do you deny the One Who created the Earth in two days and for Him you ascribe partners/equals. He is the Sustainer Lord of the Worlds. And He placed in Earth mountains above its surface and fixed/stabilized within it; and measured within Her the sustenance of Her sufficient/equivalent to the needs of the seekers {creatures living on/in earth}; all done in four days" {Refer 41:09-10}

Thereafter lapse of time, He attended/directed towards the Sky and she was gaseous. Therefore it was ordained/said for the Sky {gaseous matter} and for the Earth {solid mass/matter} to develop relationship either of attraction {happy, willingly which attracts} or repulsion {disliking, hatred which likes repulsion}. After the development of relationship between sky and earth as of those who willingly and happily come closer to each other, the Sky was expanded into seven skies {layers/firmaments one above the other} in two days and each one of these seven skies was assigned her task. And the sky of earth was decorated with comets and made safe"                   {Refer 41:11-12}

"He is the One Who created for you people every and all thing which is in Earth.

Thereafter lapse of time, He attended/directed towards the Sky and expanded her into seven skies {layers/firmaments one above the other}" {Refer 02:29}

 

                After the creation of the Earth and everything placed on/in it, in a period of four days, attention was paid to the Sky which existed in the form of gasses cluster. It is thus evident that the Sky existed before the creation of Earth and everything which was made available/contained on/in it. In between the "creation of Earth" and paying attention to Sky the particle has been used which is distinct in meanings and perception as compared to conjunctions "و" and "ف" . Inthe particle not only denotes and reflects the quite different nature of Sky and Earth but also denotes the distance of time.

                  After the creation of Earth and everything on/in it; it was ordained for the Sky, the Gases and the Earth, solid matter, to develop a relationship in either of the two manners, attraction or repulsion. Both Sky {gaseous matter} and Earth {solid matter} "agreed" to come closer to each other in the manner of those who develop relationship of love/affection/fraternity/attraction which creates the desire to come closer to each other. It may be noted that both the Sky and Earth are always referred and mentioned as feminine in the Grand Quran.

                  After the relationship {joining/attraction} was developed between the Sky and Earth and before being forcefully separated the Sky was expanded into seven layers, one above the other and for each of them specific work/task/function was assigned. And this conversion/proportioning of gaseous Sky into seven layers was completed in two days. It need to be noted that the time mentioned is not with reference to the time of our universe, seven skies and Earth since the internal time of this Universe under construction has not as yet come into existence. These days refer to the days of some Universe beyond this Universe comprising seven skies and Earth.

{Refer 07:54}

{Refer 10:03}

"Certainly your Sustainer Lord Allah is the One Who created the skies and Earth in six days"

{Refer 25:59}

"He is the One Who created the skies and Earth, and what is in between the two, in six days"

{Refer 32:04}

"Allah is the One Who created the skies and Earth , and what is in between the two, in six days"

"He is the One Who created the skies and Earth,  in six days" {Refer 57:04}

"And He is the One Who created the skies and Earth, in six days" {Refer 11:07}

          It has been stated for six times that the Earth, everything in it and shaping of One Sky into seven skies consumed a period of six days. After stating this it was also told for the seventh time:

"And We had created the skies and the Earth and what is between the two in six days, and certainly not any fatigue/weariness had touched Us" {Refer 50:38}

"Thereafter He ascended/mounted the Seat/Throne" {Refer 07:54; 10:03;25:59; 32:04; 57:04}

"And the Seat/Throne of your Sustainer Lord is above water" {Refer 11:07}

It may therefore be noted that Water and "" The Seat/The Throne is beyond the limits of seven skies. Grand Quran has not elaborated as to when the Water was created except that it is always said that Water was sent from Sky, from above the Earth.

                  The Sky is only One, and this One sky has been stretched into seven layers one above the other. The layer nearest to the Earth has been called , the Sky of the Earth. In the Grand Quran the order of mention is always that Earth is followed by skies. But the One Sky was converted/proportioned into seven only after the creation of Earth. Against the Sky of Earth there are other six layers above the lower sky.

"Quran has been sent by Him Who created the Earth and the upper/higher skies {six above sky of Earth}" {Refer 20:04}

ٱلدُّنْيَا:  means low, near, earthly, worldly.  ٱلْعُلَى means high, elevated, higher in place, ascended, lofty,   The Sky was converted into seven firmaments/layers one above the other, Sky of the Earth and above it six skies ascending above/higher.

"He is the One who created seven skies in harmony/adjoining one above another. You will not see any incongruity/lack of proportion/rift in the creations of Ar Rehman" {Refer 67:03}

Do you people not see how Allah has created seven skies in harmony/adjoining one above another. {Refer 71:15}

One Sky is stretched/extended in seven layers and so is the case with the Earth that it has seven layers one above another. It is explained:

"Allah is the One Who created Seven skies {in layers/firmaments} and from the Earth similar of them" {Refer 65:12}

 

 Separation of sky from earth with force

 

            After the creation of Earth and placing everything in it according to the needs and requirements of its proposed/decided inhabitants the already existing Sky in gaseous state and the Earth were made to develop a relationship of tied ness through mutual attraction.

"Thereafter lapse of time, He attended/directed towards the Sky and she was gaseous. Therefore it was ordained/said for the Sky {gaseous matter} and for the Earth {solid mass/matter} to develop relationship either of attraction {happy, willingly which attracts for nearness} or repulsion {disliking, hatred which likes repulsion and get farther}. Both two said, "We come together/join in the manner of those who come closer to each other happily and with the desire of nearness" {Refer 41:11}

The relationship was developed in the manner of those things/people who revert/move happily with their own desire and not under any compulsion. When two things come closer to each other happily and with the desire and not compulsion this shows nothing but mutual attraction. And when things come closer to each other under the desire of meeting/joining with each other there is never a possibility of "Bang" {sudden loud noise} what to say of "Bing Bang".

"Do not those who refuse to accept see that the skies and Earth were both reconciled/united/sewed together and then We parted/clove them both two asunder" {Refer 21:30}

The Sky and Earth were reconciled/sewed together with the relationship of mutual attraction leaving no gap/breach on any side and the Sky was expanded in seven skies, each sky {layer} commensurate with the one above it. And then came the point when Allah , separated both two of them.

"Allah is the One Who raised the skies without any pillars that you people can see. Thereafter He ascended/mounted the Seat/Throne" {Refer 13:02}

"He created the skies without any pillars that you people can see" {Refer 31:10}

"Do they not see upon Sky above them that how We have made it and adorned her, and that there are no gaps/apertures/rifts in her" {Refer 50:06}

"And the Sky, We raised her with power; and certainly We are expanding her"         {Refer 51:47}

" And by the Canopy Raised High" {Refer 52:05}

"And at the Sky, how it is raised high?" {Refer 88:18}
 

The Earth and Sky had joined together with the force of attraction. If the two things are near to each other for reason of attraction then force/might/power is needed to separate them. its Root is "ب ن و-ى" which means to build, frame or construct a house or tent. It means canopy, ceiling as against "We made the earth as floor/carpet"{51:48}. The Earth has been made فِرَاشاً and the Sky as i.e. like canopy, ceiling of a tent. The Sky was separated from Earth by raising it.

"And the Sky, He raised her high and He made evident/apparent/manifest/obvious the Balance" {Refer 55:07}

"Are you the more difficult to be created or the Sky He raised her as canopy? He raised her "سمك" and proportioned her. And made her night as dark and brought out her shining/hot day. And the Earth, after that hot/shining day, He spread/stretched/unfolded her" {Refer 79:27-30}

Allah had raised the "سمك" of the Sky which resulted in "then separated both two of them", who earlier being two separate entities {gaseous and solid matter} had been brought in the state/relation/condition of {رَتْقاً} reconciled, closed up, sewed together, united leaving no aperture. The "سمك"of the Sky means "Interior uppermost part, a thing with which a thing is raised, elevated, upraised or uplifted. It signifies the extent of anything from top to bottom. Camel's hump, a pole of a tent with which tent is raised from the centre".

            After the "سمك"of the Sky was raised , resultantly the sky was proportioned / perfected in relation to everything which made the balance in the Universe evident and manifest. Creation was complete. Then came the first night of this newly created universe which was dark. And after the first night, the first day after the night and the second day of creation of our universe was brought out which was hot and bright. And after this the Earth was expanded. This day is that "one masculine" who was made the cause for the Earth to expand:

"And the Earth and that what/who {some thing of masculine gender} expanded her" {Refer 91:06}

              It is thus evident that when our universe was set into motion/spin by the raising of the "سمك" of the Sky with force it was not of zero volume. We have seen that everything was created in a very well planned/organized/thought/predetermined and smooth manner. Sky {gaseous matter} was created/existed before the creation of Earth and all its matter including placing of measured quantity of water in it, and then relationship of attraction between gasses {sky} and solid matter {Earth, mountains etc} was created which brought both closer and gave them the shape/state as if both were sewed together without their being any cleavage/gap. This process does not reflect even a remote possibility of their being some "bang" which could be heard. Similarly raising the "سمك"  of the Sky and its upwards expansion nowhere suggest the possibility of a "Bing Bang".

                 A brief synopsis of the process of creation of our universe unfolded by the Grand Quran:

(a)  Earth and all other material in/on it was created in four days, a period of universe external to under construction universe. Water in measured quantity was also placed in it. Quran does not state that the Earth was in molten form.

(b)  After this attention was paid to the Sky which already existed in gaseous state.

(c)  Sky {Gas} and Earth {solid matter} were "asked" to develop a relationship either of love/attraction or hatred/repulsion. Both {feminine} opted the relationship of attraction which resulted in "sewing" of the Sky and Earth without any cleavage/gap/aperture/vacuum. This state has been described by the word {رَتْقاً}.

(d)    Sky was divided into seven parts, one above another one, exactly fitting in each other. This partitioning and assigning of specific task for each of them took two days, a period of universe external to under construction universe. Thus the total period consumed in the construction of our universe matter and material was equal to six days of some external universe because internal time of the proposed universe had not as yet begun. Everything  was set and placed in equations to set and maintain the balance which afterwards became evident, displayed to view.

(e)    The "سمك" of the Sky was raised upwards with force. This was the beginning of a new universe. This created simultaneously the Time of our Universe. This was the day time. And then came the first dark night of the newly created universe and after that the light and heat of the day was brought out.

(f)     After the second day, first day after the first night of newly constructed universe, when the heat and light had become evident the Earth was expanded/stretched. This was the one which  had caused the expansion of Earth.

{g}     Neither the above process of creation of our universe could make any body infer that the creation of universe was from zero volume nor that it was the result of some "Bing Bang". Quran has nowhere informed the humanity that there was a "Bing Bang" at the time of creation. But there will certainly be a "Bing Bang" to be heard by people when the Time of  our universe is to be brought to a halt:

"And these people wait nothing except a Big/mighty Bang; there will be no delay {from its appointed time}" {Refer 38:15}

"The Day when they will truly listen a Bang. That is the day of coming out {from graves}"

"Certainly We are the One Who give life and Death and to Us is the eventual coming/journeying. The Day when the Earth over them will be rent asunder {to discharge those in graves}. That is the gathering of dead people which is quite easy for Us. We know best what they people keep saying. And you {The messenger} are certainly not for/upon them a forcing/compelling one. Therefore, with Quran narrate/remind the one who cares/fears the warning/admonishing" {Refer 50:42-45}

            The Last Messenger  has been advised to narrate from and advise people with the Quran who heed and care for being warned and admonished that one day there shall be a Big Bang heard by people and that they will come out of their graves to face what they said and did in their life. They will face the "destiny" which they wrote for themselves; eternal peace and tranquility or eternal turmoil and sufferings. Choice, decision and will is ours but we cannot change the effect of the cause.

              The aforesaid information about the process of creation of our universe was narrated and made public by a resident of valley of Mecca located in a desert about 1400 years back, the Last Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. And he did not claim that what he stated was his own knowledge or research. Despite that would someone be considered a man of rational attitude if he attributes the discovery and announcement of expanding universe to Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as his personal knowledge/understanding/mathematical calculations?

"Do they say, "He {sincere servant upon whom the Book has been sent} has drafted/compiled/fabricated/forged it from his own perception/knowledge/understanding?

No, their perception is wrong; the reality is that this Book is the statement of proven/evident fact from your Sustainer Lord with the objective that you may warn a nation whom a Warner was not sent before you, so that they may get guidance" {Refer 32:03}
