[The holy Quran 41:9]
Say, "You disbelieve in the One who created the earth in two days, and
you set up idols to rank with Him, though He is Lord of the universe."
[41:10] He placed on it
stabilizers (mountains), made it productive, and He calculated its
provisions in four days, to satisfy the needs of all its inhabitants.
[41:11] Then He turned
to the sky, when it was still gas, and said to it, and to the earth,
"Come into existence, willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come
willingly."
[41:12] Thus, He
completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every
universe. And we adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed
guards around it. Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient.
According to the Quran,
before creation of the solid mass it seems that space was already there.
Space and time maybe eternal! Obviously something was already there and
responded, "We come willingly." That is why God also needs time to
accomplish His giant tasks. Is void space just nothing? Modern science
doesn’t believe so! And even we don’t know what is “nothing” actually!
The holy Quran confirms
that God has full power over natural worlds, that is why He is God. But
God also needs time and efforts to complete a creation. For instance,
God calculated earth’s provisions in four days and one God’s day is at
least equal to one thousand of our years! That is why it makes perfect
sense that we must obey God, we must praise God, we must glorify God, we
must worship God, we must be grateful to God. God is very kind so He
created so many beautiful and beneficial things for us. All those things
were not created effortlessly or aimlessly. Those were not just playing
games.

Dear Mr. Asghar.
It is an allegorical description when the Quran says
"God's Hand". Such description communicates the message by means of
symbolic representation. For example:
[17:29] You shall not keep your hand stingily tied to
your neck, nor shall you foolishly open it up, lest you end up blamed
and sorry.
All living creatures are created from water. Water has
several properties that make it central to all living things. Water
molecules are held together by weak bonds called hydrogen bonds. These
bonds allow water to carry on several functions vital to life.
God creates everything out of nothing including the solid
giant mass that was exploded per the Big Bang Theory.
God creates all the laws. Based on one such law, w
e cannot create or destroy energy. But, God can create
or destroy energy. It is utterly meaningless to apply God created laws
on God and expect Him to behave accordingly! God's law is for His
creations, not for God.
[41:12] Thus, He completed the seven universes in two
days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we adorned the lowest
universe with lamps, and placed guards around it. Such is the design of
the Almighty, the Omniscient.
Thank you and may God guide me,

So, Allah created everything with His hands and has been holding the
heavens and earth in them, lest they vanish. He also created humans with
water! (Is it true?)
Which confirms that Allah has hands!
Yes, science confirms what is stated in verse 21:30. This means that a
solid mass was already in existence before it exploded and formed the
earth; suns, numerous stars; many moons and other planets.
This again means that Allah's creations came into existence from a solid
mass. Therefore, His claim that He created everything out of nothing is
false!
Agreed?

Salam.
The whole world that is known to us and everything in it
is our universe. Many astronomers think that everything in our universe
was once packed together in one lump. Then, about 15 billion years ago,
there was a gigantic cosmic explosion which they call the Big Bang. According
to them, our universe was created from that explosion!
[21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven
and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into
existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
According to the cosmology, The Big Bang explosion sent
the young universe flying out in all directions. Over vast ages of
time, bits came together to make galaxies. The galaxies are huge groups
of stars in space. The galaxies are still speeding apart today, and our
universe is getting bigger!
[51:47] We constructed the sky with our hands,and we
will continue to expand it.
The planets are not big or as hot as stars, and they
cannot make light of their own. They were made from the leftovers of
the same gas and dust cloud that gave birth to our star, the Sun. Our
planet Earth is the only one in the solar system with water and living
things on it. That makes it very special. It is the 3rd planet from
the Sun, and it get just right amount of heat and light to keep us
alive! Any closer, and it would be too hot. Any farther away, and it
would be too cold!
[54:49] Everything we created is precisely measured
Everything in space has a pulling force called gravity -
galaxies, star, planets like the earth, and even moons. Gravity holds
things together and stops them floating off into space.
[35:41] GOD is the One who holds the heavens and the
earth, lest they vanish. If anyone else is to hold them, they will most
certainly vanish. He is Clement, Forgiving.
Moons are rocky bodies that orbit planets. Jupiter has
sixteen moons. Mercury and Venus are the only planets that do not have
moons. All the other planets have at least one. Our Earth has one
moon. The Earth's moon is dry, dusty and lifeless. There is no air to
breath or water to drink. On July 20, 1969, two American astronauts
became the first living trying ever to set foot on the moon. Astronauts
left the moon in the lunar module containing 21 kg. of rocks that had
belongs to the moon!
[54:1] The Hour has come closer, and the moon has split.
The size of our solar system is extremely insignificant
in compare to our vast universe where it belongs. Our universe is the
smallest and the innermost of all seven universes. Our universe
is estimated to span distances in excess of twenty billion light years!
The second universe surrounds our universe and is very large. The third
universe surrounds the second universe and is even larger. The
outermost universe is the seventh universe. No number exists to
describe the size of this outermost universe! The incomprehensible
vastness of these seven universes is within the fist of God's hand!
[39:67] They can never fathom the greatness of GOD. The
whole earth is within His fist on the Day of Resurrection. In fact, the
universes are folded within His right hand. Be He glorified; He is much
too high above needing any partners
Some astronomers think that the galaxies may one day
start falling back toward each other until they crash together in a Big
Crunch! In cosmology, the Big Crunch is a hypothesized collapse of the
universe upon itself after its eventual stoppage of expansion! Is it
not true that the Big Crunch is not a hypothesis, not a theory but an informidable law
of God Almighty that will surely take place on the appointed day, the
Day of Decision!
[21:104] On that day, we will fold the heaven, like the
folding of a book. Just as we initiated the first creation, we will
repeat it. This is our promise; we will certainly carry it out.
Thank you and may God guide me,
Muhammed Irtaza
