And it is We who have constructed the heaven with might , and verily , it is We who are steadily expanding it . ( The Qur an , 51: 47).This is one of the miracles of the Quran. Until the dawn of the 20 th century , the only view prevailing in the world of science was that the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time . The research , observations , and calculations carried out by means of modern technology, however , have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning, and that it constantly expands . At the beginning of the 20 th century , the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is in constant motion and that it is expanding. This fact was corroborated by American astronomer Edwin Hubble (1929) While observing the sky with a telescope , the American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other . This fact was explained in the Qur an about 1400 years ago, when that was still unknown to anyone. Praise be to Allah, The most knowledgeable, The ever living, The wise. JUMAAT MUBARACK
