Big bang theory

6 years ago By user2

Q: I have a few questions based on the scientific theory of the Big Bang. I have heard some people using the following 2 aayaat to prove the scientific theory of the Big Bang

(١) أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ.

(٢) ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَا أَتَيْنَا طَائِعِينَ.

Based on this I have the following questions

1. What is the Islaamic perspective with regards to the manner the earth was created ?

2. Is there any way to prove the Big Bang theory using the aforementioned aayaat?

3. If a person openly proves and advocates the Big Bang theory using the aforementioned aayaat, but believes that Allah Ta'ala was the being who caused the Big Bang. What is the state of the imaan of such a person?

4. If a person believes that the Big Bang really occurred and that it was purely a matter of nature's occurrence and not at all the doing of Allah Ta'ala, then what is the state of the imaan of such a person?

Question regarding an aayah of Surah Luqmaan

Q: Can you please comment on the following Hadith as we can know to a certain percentage when it will rain and we can know what is in the womb, even the gender of the child. Also, can't some part of the future be known by astrology and palmistry, etc. Although, I know it is totally haraam.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle ﷺ said, "Keys of the unseen knowledge are five which nobody knows but Allah:
* nobody knows what will happen tomorrow;
* nobody knows what is in the womb;
* nobody knows what he will gain tomorrow;
* nobody knows at what place he will die;
* and nobody knows when it will rain."

Q: In Surah 33, verse 38 it is stated that when Zaid (radhiyallahu anhu) dissolved his marriage with Zainab (radhiyallahu anha) then Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) married the divorced wife of Zaid (radhiyallahu anhu). Zaid (radhiyallahu anhu) was the foster son of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).

In your fatwa you stated that it is not permissible for a man to marry his sisters, maternal and paternal aunts, nieces, foster mothers, foster sisters, and daughters-in-law from his blood sons or foster sons. Please let me know if the Quran is correct or if your fatwa is correct.
