UNIVERSE IN GASEOUS STATE

Quran Miracle: Correct Description Of Early Universe

Big bang nucleosynthesis tells us that after just one-second old universe was at a temperature of 10 million Kelvin and the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of Smoke and Plasma. 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. Even now new stars are forming inside dark, cold molecular clouds from Material called Interstellar Medium, which is mostly hydrogen neutral and ionized, helium, dust particles surrounded by frozen water & other stuff like carbon, nitrogen, etc. All that in the heavens all stars and galaxies all have been formed from this same smoke.

Universe In Smoky/Gaseous State

Now look that almost 1400 years ago this is what the Quran told us in Surah Fussilat 41:11. The fact that this verse revealed regarding the universe’s initial gaseous state is a miracle.

١١ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَا أَتَيْنَا طَائِعِينَ

Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, “Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion.” They said, “We have come willingly.” Surah Fussilat 41:11
