Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Alhamdulillahi Robbil ‘Alamin wa Sayyidi Umurid Dunya wad Deen, Amma Ba’d,

Assalamualaikum again,

Let’s talk today on the universe we are living in since we are supposed to know what we are in and the fact that I’m currently reading ‘The Universe in A Nutshell’ by Stephen Hawking. Many scientists now believe in the Big Bang theory for the beginning of this lovely universe we are in; saying that this huge universe had actually started from a small extremely condensed energy. If you know of supernova, where a star exploding and scattering its materials and the energy in it to the surrounding space, then you’ll know what I mean.

This theory has caused a stirring up of the religious communities for it aligns well with the belief of God. In Islam, this is much or less a merit for our arguments against atheism; BUT we should be aware that Science doesn’t dictate how Islam is understood for we should know that Muslims are to put our Iman before our Aqal, lest we will be just like the atheist scientists who study and investigate the world we are living in but blinded by the avarice of their desires and uncontrolled dependence on their limited power of the mind. Even till today, we are seeing a great number of people of the Sciences who transgress from their belief of the existence of God.

Allah asked us to study and observe the nature in order to find Hidayah that Allah lays out for us. Allah asked the non-believers in Suratul Ghoshiah, verses 17-20: “Do they not look at the camels, how they were created? And at the heaven, how it was raised? And at the mountains, how they were rooted? And at the earth, how it was spread?” I can write more verses showing the importance of thinking and observing our surroundings for the sake of seeking the truth about Allah’s greatness but I rest this for you, O readers, to search them on your own, because I have another agenda in mind.
