Harmony in Allah’s Universe

Allah says in the Noble Qur’an:  “And the heaven We built with Our own powers (aydin) and indeed We go on expanding it” (Qur’an 51:47).

The Universe is all of time and space,  including planets, stars, galaxies, contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy.

Currently, the observable universe is about 28 billion parsecs or 91 billion light-years in diameter. Humankind do not know the size of the whole Universe and may be either finite or infinite.

Observations and the development of physical theories have led to inferences about the composition and evolution of the Universe.

In this interesting documentary, we’ll learn more about the universe we’re living in, the science of Cosmology and the theories which helped us in understanding some info about the place we’re living in which we call the Cosmos.

Observations of the distribution of these galaxies and their spectral lines have led to many of the theories of modern physical cosmology.

Expanding Universe

Observations in the late 1990s indicated the rate of the expansion of the Universe is increasing. This indicated that the majority of energy is most likely in an unknown form called dark energy. 

The majority of mass in the universe also appears to exist in an unknown form, called dark matter.

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model describing the development of the Universe. Space and time were created in the Big Bang.

Allah says in the Qur’an:  “Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We clove them asunder (fataqna)?…”  (Qur’an 21:31)

These were imbued with a fixed amount of energy and matter. As space expands, the density of that matter and energy decreases.

After the initial expansion, it cooled sufficiently to allow the formation first of subatomic particles and later of simple atoms.

Giant clouds of these primordial elements later coalesced through gravity to form stars. Assuming that the prevailing model is correct, the age of the Universe is 13.799±0.021 billion years.

There are many competing hypotheses about the ultimate fate of the Universe. Science remains unsure about what, if anything, preceded the Big Bang.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
