Stephen Hawking, the most notable scientist of current time had glorified science by his distinctive works on the black hole. This paradigmatic scientist devoted his entire life to discover this incomprehensible cosmological object!
When a critical investigation was carried out, I surprisingly uncovered that Hawking had profoundly discovered Quran in the Blackhole! As a Muslim, I pay a standing ovation to this honourable man for his invaluable work, though he was a fervent agnostic!
Of all cosmological phenomena, black hole stands out as the most bizarre object! It’s a point in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light can escape from it! It crushes and squashes an object to its eternal state!
A process known as Stellar Nucleosynthesis [all elements of your body are made in distant stars by this process; earth or sun cannot manufacture them] takes place in the core of massive stars [25 -35 Solar Mass].
When such a star reaches the end of its life, its hydrogen fuel runs out in the fusion process of making helium! Now, this monster star begins burning helium in its core, fusing existing atoms into heavier elements!
As burning progresses, the core swells in search of more fuel! The giant star has huge outer layers those have supermassive stockpiles of materials that intrinsically pinpoint an enormous gravitational pressure from all directions onto the centre!
Due to this massive pressure, the core explodes igniting a completely new thermonuclear furnace of burning the newly made element, carbon! This may burn for million years.
After carbon, it will be oxygen then magnesium and so on! Every time the processes of the burning of the core will cause an explosion at the end and will initiate a new nuclear furnace creating new sets of elements.
Life of a star means the nuclear furnace in the core creating an outward pressure that can maintain equilibrium against the ever-collapsing gravitational compression due to the enormous stellar mass in the outer layers of the star!
The Opposing force from within and from outer layers find the state of equilibrium to make the star ‘stable’ and it can continue for millions of years!
This balance, however, finally is lost when the core is filled up with iron elements! Iron is the final stage of Stellar Nucleosynthesis! All other elements were able to add impact in the outward pressure of the star-core, but iron makes a total difference!
Instead of releasing heat, iron core traps in all heats leaving no outward pressure to keep the star balance against the inward pressure from all directions of the star-outer! The core now is without defense!
Billions upon billions of tons of matters fall from ten directions onto a single point at the core with extreme violent speed! In no time, a supermassive exposition occurs in the star core due to infinite force that collapses at the geometric center of the core!
The energy of this explosion is so intense that the core and its mass instantly go out of existence creating a gravity-well! The explosion is called Supernovae Explosion; it creates a singularity into the stellar core!
In that core – space, time and matter are folded into infinite curvature! Matter, energy and events are now lost and hidden forever!
A black hole is born!
Ever since a black hole is born, it can continue to grow by absorbing matters from its surroundings. This includes all stellar objects, all nearby stars, interstellar matters and so on!
‘Black hole would grow by the influx of materials, at which stage, gravity would tear apart nearby stars and then suck in the gas’. ‘Some are so massive that they collapse under the force of their own gravity into a super dense black hole’!
A black hole is a place in the cosmos where stellar objects fall in ruins! Stars and all stellar objects die in the blackholes!
This phenomenon is depicted in the Quran [56:75] – [I] swear by the place where the stars fall in ruins! The word [ﯡﭱﻊ] is a verb – means ‘to destroy’, when you add [م – ma] as a prefix, it denotes the place & time of destruction!
Allah the Exulted is swearing in the name of that place where the stars plunge in destruction! There is no other prescient in the cosmos at whence the stars can collapse and get ruined! This is only the black hole; there is no other candidate in the cosmos to fit into this description!
The verse 56:76 is far more interesting! It says, ‘certainly it’s an oath of highest significance if you did know’! – The conjunction used Lou [ﻟۄ] is curiously interesting. In Arabic, ‘In’ [١ﻥ] ‘Is’ [ﺍﺯ] and ‘Lao’ [ﻟۄ] – all mean ‘if’; but Lao [ﻟۄ] is only applicable where the action is beyond the capacity or possibility and means of the subject!
The proposition – ‘if you did know’ in fact indicates – you will never know! As light cannot escape the black hole, literally it allows no information to come out. Thus, the inside of a black hole is never knowable! It’s a cosmic limit!
Thanks to Stephen Hawking! He discovered Quran that revealed the black hole phenomenon in a most economical manner some 1400 years ago!
The law conservation of matter and energy tells us that never ever matter and energy will die; never ever they are to go out of existence! The half-life of proton is 1032 years [100,000, 000, 000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000,000 years]; this tells us that matter has a never-ending life! It tells us that matter is like God! Matter has no decay!
This poses a serious challenge to Quran! ‘Everything will perish to nothingness’ – this seems do not work for matter because of such massive half-life!
To comprehend this issue, we need to understand the black hole characteristics! Since birth, black hole only grows bigger and bigger due to its ever-increasing hunger for more and more matters!
It’s massive gravitational pulls continuously suck in nearby stars or interstellar maters. The more it grows bigger, the more it becomes gravitationally intense and the more it creates curvature in space-time compelling more and more matters to fall into its event horizon!
Finally, it starts devouring groups of stars, nebulae or massive interstellar clouds and even other black hole! It’s a one-way-traffic! Such a blackhole turns into a supermassive black body! Every galaxy in its deep homes one such supermassive black hole!
These bodies influence in galactic rotations or drifts in trajectories of stars and constellations! But the fundamental course remains unchanged – more and more stellar objects find their destinations in it! The more it grows bigger, the more it adds up in strength and pull!
A galaxy is so massive that even the supermassive black hole sucks up stellar matters at the speed of light – it may take 50,000 to 100,000 years depending on size to consume the galaxy entirely! However, the supermassive black hole will ultimately devour all the stars, all the maters, all the energies in a galaxy!
When the supermassive blackhole will grow infinitely strong, it even will have impact on the speed and course of enormously distant objects – instead of light-speed, like what happened in the ‘inflation era’ after big bang – the galactic materials now will rocket to the core of attraction in a more violent speed than light!
One day all individual galaxies will be empty and there will be only one supermassive black hole left for every galaxy in the Cosmos!
This example we already can see in the Quasars; only difference is – their sizes are pretty small compared to the supposed supermassive black hole of a galactic mass will be formed in the Cosmic Blackhole Era!
When there will be only supermassive black holes to reside in the universe – each of these massive objects will rotate in its cosmic realms and at certain point, one will appear closer to another, will experience unexplainably powerful gravitational pull and will fuse into a single blackhole!
This Extra Supermassive black hole or ESB [two or more galactic masses] in its tiny blackhole region will unleash even stronger pull for other galactic bodies or ESBs lurking in massive distances!
In this process, in a runway rate – the Extra Supermassive Blackhole will incrementally gain more and more mass, strength and pull! This will finally set free a massive spree of attacking, attracting and devouring all universal masses in a single geometrical boundary of an Infinitely Supermassive Universal Blackhole!
This is the last stage of our visible cosmos! The entire universe will dazzle in brightness of tens of trillions of Quasars’ glares – a condition you are not entitled even to imagine!
Remember in the Big Bang, in the Hadronic and Leptonic eras– matters and antimatters were in a single hot stew! In the Creational Phase of this Cosmos – soonest the universe entered the Lepontic Era in some 14 billion years ago – this unleashed the matter and antimatter annihilate in creational spree that in length, matter survived over antimatter there!
Now after 14 billion years again, the primordial condition will mimic in the reversal course of black hole singularity! In this reversal course, all the matter and energy will be crashed to matters and antimatters – with a difference – in the Creational Phase matter survived over antimatter, but in current black hole phase – nothing will survive another!
Stephen Hawking points out here that although nothing can escape from the black hole – in this very highest state of compression of the universal black hole compressed in a very tiny geometrical boundary – matters and antimatters will meet each other in annihilations!
Every time this universal blackhole will initiate a massive flash known as Hawking Radiation, allowing matters and antimatters annihilate to nothingness! This process will continue for a relatively shorter period!
This will finally empty the universal blackhole to the Final Nihilistic State of universal nothingness! Because there is no way to return, the entire mass in that universal blackhole will annihilate in the flashes of Hawking Radiations and finally, all matter and energy in this visible universe will reduce to nonexistence!
Hawking’s finding confirmed the Quranic Statement – “Everything in it will perish to nonexistence [55:26].”- only will remain the Countenance of your Lord, full of Majesty and Splendour [55:27]!
Once the last burst of Hawking Radiation is over – the Universe, our known Cosmos will sink into dense darkness of nothingness!
In the following diagram – you will notice that the Hawking Radiation will only occur in Zone D; there will be blackholes in all zones from A-C, but they would not be able to initiate Hawking Radiation due to absence of required mass that is attainable in the Universal Blackhole in Zone D only!
An ummi prophet [who did not know how to read and write] in the desert of Arabia revealed three little verses [7:40, 56:75, 56:76] to mankind those finally were rediscovered by Stephen Hawking.
“These are the news of the Unknown We reveal to you that neither you nor your people were aware of (O Muhammad) [11:49].
“Say, He Who knows all the secrets of the heavens and earth has revealed Quran to me. He is Forgiving, Merciful.” [25:6].
“Perfect are the Words of your Sustainer in truth and righteousness [6:115] Words of God is inexhaustibly everlasting! It’s an inconceivable success.” [10:64]!
“He is Allah your True Sustainer, the Rightful Lord; after the truth what is there but error? How could you then turn away.” [10:32]?
“He is God, other than Whom there is no god. Unto Him is due all praise, at the first and at the last. For Him is the command, and to Him you shall be brought back agai.” [28:70]”.
Very well articulated and presented.
Excellent presentation, I am amazed. Allah will give you the best possible return.
This article by the author has serious issues with regard to praising the” ignorant arrogant and agnostic scientist” Stephen Hawking who has been arrogantly negating the existence of Allah despite Allah made him so crippled he was the only person with ALS(Motor Neurone Disease) who survived the most in the entire world, yet sadly Allah did not grant him Tawfeeq to become a Muslim.
Furthermore the author has mentioned this “The law conservation of matter and energy tells us that never ever matter and energy will die; never ever they are to go out of existence! The half-life of proton is 1032 years [100,000, 000, 000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000,000 years]; this tells us that matter has a never-ending life! It tells us that matter is like God! Matter has no decay!”
This kind of nonsensical understanding leads one to out of fold of Islam.
Matter is created by Allah and it is His creation and stating that matter is like GOD is greatest error and clear negation basic belief that makes one a Muslim.
Of note the sad part of this article is the mere ignorance to the basic tenet of Islam that There is nothing Like Allah Subhanahu Wa Taa’la in any aspect, it is in total negation of Allah’s own words Allah, ta^ala said in the Qur’an:
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
Laysa kamithlihi shay’.
Ayah 11 of Suratush-Shura means: {Nothing resembles Him (Allah) in any way.}
This means that Allah, ta^ala, does not resemble any of His creations.
It was related that a group of Jews came to the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and said: “O Muhammad, describe to us your Lord Whom you worship.” Then Suratul-Ikhlas was revealed, and Prophet Muhammad said, “This is the description of my Lord.”
The questioning of the Jews was with the intent of mockery and not to seek the knowledge.
The answer of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, indicates that Allah is attributed with attributes, and just as Allah Himself does not resemble His creation, His Attributes do not resemble the attributes of the creation. Allah is attributed with all the proper perfection, and He is clear from all the attributes of imperfection.
So kindly I suggest the Author to run the articles at least through Islamic Scholars before publishing in the hope that they are serving Islam while not realising the damage they cause with this kind of ignorance.
We don’t need science to prove Islam is truth, and Islam is not a scientific religion as science itself is a religion and a dogma.
Most scientists are dishonest and deny and divert people with myriad of theories when the reality leads to existence of Allah as the creator.
So we don’t need science to appreciate our religion, for verily the most strong in belief are those who believed in Allah without seeing HIM and realising HIS signs in the universe.
We need to have faith in line with faith of Abu Bakr R.A and others amongst our earliest generation of Muslims who did not have the means of scientific correlation and observation to say the prophet Mohammad (ﷺ) was telling the truth or not and yet they believed in him and accepted Islam.
For the faith and belief comes from Allah and whosoever He wills guides to straight path and truth.
The most illiterate or ignorant amongst our muslims has indeed achieved great success in front of Allah then the most amazing scientists in the world who could not become Muslim despite his variety to hardship and hardworking discovering the universe.
The theories change and change but do not tell the truth of how this Universe came in to being and how is it going to be sustained.
For they have or they will never have enough proof as they were not present as witness when Allah was creating this universe so I sincerely advice the readers as well as the author to be careful interpreting science without the advice of scholars of Islam.
We have many scholars these days who are click away or phone call away and most of them have also done conventional studies along side Islamic Studies.
Further to my previous comment , the author has seriously misinterpreted the meaning of the verse
كُلُّ مَن عَلَيهَا فَان ٍ
Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.
Kullu Man `Alayha Fanin (Sura Rahman Ayah 26,
Author has very daringly and bravely misinterpreted this verse by implying and interpolating this verse to mean that everything in the universe will perish.
Allah clearly and equivocally in this verse mentioned that everything on it عَلَيهَا which meant that on this EARTH not the entire universe will be destroyed or perished.
There are seriously problems with misinterpretation and trying to align everchaning scientific theories to change or misinterpret the QURAN.
I sincerely advise the Author to kindly revise this article and correct his grave misunderstandings about the interpretation of Quran and sincerely repent to Allah and ask Him for guiding him to write with knowledge and wisdom so that the sincere hard work becomes a means of earning pleasure of Allah
Hello Respected Readers
Assalamualikum
With respect – I am responding to Mr Abdul QuADEER MOHAMMED’s comment.
I tried to post a pictorial page for easy guide to follow the answer – but the AMUST answering portal doesnot accept pictures. I had to reshape the answer so that the page can publish.
It is important for Muslims to raise the correct questions. At times, we are tempted to our own biasousness and express derogations and emotional dispositions most of which comes with a flash of discovering serious inferiority in the person on the other side. I am sure – we respect the good manners when we do a question and answer in the public.
I welcome the question and I will respectfully answer insaAllah. I will try to make the answer for nontecnical nonarabic lingual people.
I am Quoting Ibn-Kathir-36-67.pdf it shows a number 777/1079. The website is run by Dr Muhammad Ramadan [The Quran Blog]
I thank everyone and I thank Allah swt for gifting us Quran.
ANSWER STARTS:
Sec -A
Example of Deviations from word to word meaning – Ibn Kathir
Ibn Kathir translated 55:26 ‘Kullu maan a’liha faan’ as – whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.
The word ‘maan’ is used to mean a person – not against things; this is all through in Quran. Why Ibn Kathir did not translate it ‘every person’? Instead why he translated the word going out of the way as ‘everything’? Did Ibn Kathir make mistake? To substantiate the meaning of everything [instead of everyone] he referred to verse 28:88 that also says – everything will perish. There is nothing great about the meaning of ‘everyone will perish’; it is known information, what is not known is if everything could perish as it is against the known scientific law [that Hawking destroyed]
Ibn Kathir made it a distinctive deviation. Instead of ‘person’ he translated the word as ‘thing’. We call it our FINDING 1.
From 55:26 ‘Kullu maan a’liha faan’ – we dealt only one word ‘maan’in our finding 1.
Our Next Search
Will everything perish on earth alone or everything will perish in the whole Creation?
Answer:
We can produce many references – but will limit to one only. We will consider Sura Al-Infitar Ch 82 as a random pick up.
Our Next Search:
Will everything perish on earth alone or everything will perish in the whole Creation?
Answer:
We can produce many references – but will limit to one only. We will consider Sura Al-Infitar Ch 82 as a random pick up.
When the sma-a (universe) will break asunder (82:1)
When the kawakib (Heavenly bodies) are strewn (82:2)
When the oceans are burst (82:3)
When the graves are exploded (82:4)
Only four items are mentioned – but it expresses that everything in Universe and Earth will plunge in calamity. The image we get is an all-encompassing destruction of Creation; a Universal Destruction. Quran calls it Qiyamath! [this is our Finding 2]
Combining Finding 1 & 2 here is a scope to translate the verse 55:26 ‘Kullu maan a’liha faan’ as under:
Everything on [it] [1] will get perished universally [2]
As the destruction is in universal scale in the Qiyamat, the meaning of [ﻋﺍﻟﻳﻫﺍ] has got a valid chance to be read as one of the whole Creation instead of one of Earth.
Do we have such Example in Quran? Yes!
a’liha tisa’ta a’shar – Over it is (or are) 19
A’liha in 55:26 and a’liha in 74:30 – both do not indicate the noun they represent. We do not know which meaning we are to give for a’liha in these two cases. Many scholars translated this a’liha in 74:30 as Quran and many as Sakar (hell); the meaning of a’liha in 55:26 likewise did not say Earth or Creation. Someone could take meaning of earth and someone could take the meaning of Creation; however, the most appropriate employment of word will come from the global Quranic context of Dooms Day. Thus the means – 55:26 ‘Kullu maan a’liha faan’- essentially has to be taken in the maximum global context of Dooms Day. The most rightful meaning hence is – Everything on this [Creation] will perish. This meaning is more closer to hundreds of other quranic verses of Qyamath.
One could write a volume in respect to this justification.
Now Addressing Dr Abdul Quadeer’s other complaints:
a. The agnostic Hawking has some discoveries that were published in his ‘Brief History of Time’ that impressively endorse the Quranic Truth. He discovered a monumental verse of hereafter I do not want to discuss it here. Despite an agnostic, the good followed from his work did validate Quranic truth so clearly that could be utilized by Muslims to point out other nonbelievers and this is what I tried to do.
b. There is no point of expressing heartrate about Stephen Hawking. Rather he worked as an invisible aid for establishing Quranic Truth.
c. Many discoveries Hawking did validated Quran but he himself was not aware of it. This is one finest strategy of Allah SWT; this is how he brings His knowledge to the light.
d. My standing ovation to the agnostic follows some principle of our Prophet(pbuh). He was so respectful to the Christian Delegation visiting him in the mosque that he gave them option – if they wanted, they could take his Mehrab and make their Christian evening prayers that was equally the time for Magrib Prayer! Prophet (pbuh) also stood up seeing a dead body of a Jew when it was passing before him. My standing ovation is due to Hawking’s discovery that endorsed Quran! It is for Allah SWT chose him to do certain job none on earth could do lest we talk about Muslims like me or Dr Abdul QuADEER
e. Proton’s half-life is 10^32 years – as the theory of conservation suggested. If this theory was not overtaken by the discovery of Hawking’s Radiation, it was a problem for Muslims to argue for ‘Kullu maan a’liha faan’ to a non-Muslim scientifically – everything will get perished [in near time as Quran indicates] was impossible to justify, We would never be able to overcome the argument of wait for 1000,00000,000000000000,000000000000 [ One Thousand Million Trillion Trillion years to see proton death! Such timeframe is only comparable with the timeframe of God! Stephen Hawking destroyed this century long belief thereupon. This has nothing to do with “Lisaka mislehi shyya”; just an exaggeration!
f. Dr Abdul Quadeer’s advice for me to repent to Allah swt. I have noted this advice and insha-Allah I will do so.
g. Certainly I will not run a counter article as it is not required.
h. I thank to everyone including Dr Abdul QuADEER MOHAMMED.
