1+2+3+4 is ten but i havent even counted up to half of that number, math doesn't make sense, dont try to understand it. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
 
Where Did Everything Come From?

What is the proof?

Islam tells us Allah is both The Creator & The
Evolver, of all that exits. We know Allah did not
evolve us from monkeys, and we know all things
are from Allah. Please share this information with
those who deny the existence of God. They need it.

There is a popular theory referred to as the 'Big
Bang' theory. It tries to explain the existence of the
universe in an evolutionary manner having an initial
beginning with an immense explosion of some
gases or solid mass. Some say there first was a
void or ’nothingness’, or perhaps, some gases
which exploded then from this everything in the
universe simply began to evolve to the stage that
we see now. There has never really been any solid
evidence for this idea of 'something out of nothing'
concept. Nor for that matter, the evolutionary
theory itself.

We would like to explore the idea of creation from a
purely logical standpoint using simple terminology
without religious hype, emotional pre-convictions
or superstitions.

What if someone called a 'scientist' tells you his
'theory' of how cars are made is like this:

A salvage yard on the south side of town blows up
and all the metal pieces fly into the air and fall back
down in one place forming a brand new Chevrolet
Caprice automobile.. with no left over parts.. and
the motor is running..

Or what if his theory for how a chair is made is:

An explosion occurs in a forest and the trees go
flying into the air and then suddenly they combine
with some flying cloth to make a beautiful chair...
and then it lands in a furniture showroom complete
with matching table and lamp...

He further explains that:

An earthquake in California's 'Silicon Valley' causes
the computer chips and circuit boards and other
various parts to fall out of their boxes and off of
their shelves and just come in place together as
they are rolling around on the floor and form the
most advanced technical computers existing on
the earth?...

Or what of his 'Medicine Theory'? He now claims
that:

A gas leak in a pharmacy warehouse causes a
terrific explosion. All the different chemicals and
substances just smash into each other in exactly
the correct amounts to produce a miracle drug
which cures everything form cancer to heart and
liver disease, old age and warts?...

Wait... there's more to this one:

It is all in one formula, packaged in the bottles with
labels and ready to sell with no mess left on the
floor?...

Now after all this exploding and excitement this
'scientist' tells you of a great place to relax and
have something to eat. It is his favorite place and
he calls it: "Burger Blast"! He says:

You just go in and sit down and suddenly a 'blast'
from the kitchen occurs and immediately a burger
lands right in front of you with all the trimmings..
just the way you like it complete with fries, a drink
and even your favorite dessert?...

AND...

No one works at "Burger Blast", it just runs itself,
automatically cleaning itself and as you leave it
scans your billfold for a valid credit card and
charges your bank account for what you have
eaten?...

Now the question is: "Are you really going to accept
any of this as 'fact'?"

Of course not!

We wouldn't believe a new car is made from flying
junk; chairs don't fall down from exploding trees;
earthquakes do not produce computers and
blasting burgers don't rain down on us from above.

Question: So how come we don't challenge a theory
of something coming from nothing and then
colliding in the cosmos to make the universe? Is it
because of its tremendous magnitude that we have
so little comprehension about it, that we are willing
to accept any theory from a few telescope 'peeping
Toms' to tell us that it came from 'nothingness'? Or
just some gases colliding and then... 'Poof'!?
Instant Universe? How?
 
Creation or Explosion?

We can turn our attention to the earth and the
heavens and make observations on our own
without a 'genius' scientist telling us what we are
seeing. And then the idea that nothing is sustaining
the heavens and the earth! - 'It just runs itself'?
How?

Think about the stars, the sun, the moon and the
countless solar systems and galaxies in the
universe.
Who or What created them in the first place?
They continue to function and move with the
utmost precision and accuracy.
Who does this? Who keeps them gliding along on
their courses and orbits preordained for them?
 
The science of modern cosmology, observational
and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point
in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud
of 'smoke' (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot
gaseous composition). This is one of the
undisputed principles of standard modern
cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars
forming out of the remnants of that 'smoke'. The
illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was
the whole universe, in that 'smoke' material. God
said in the Quran:

Then He turned to the heavens when it was
smoke...
[Noble Quran 41:11]

Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun,
moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been
formed from this same 'smoke' we conclude that
the earth and the heavens were one connected
entity. Then out of this homogeneous 'smoke', they
formed and separated from each other. God said in
the Quran:

Have not those who disbelieved known that the
heavens and the earth were one connected entity,
then We separated them?.. [Noble Quran 21:30]

Professor Alfred Kroner is one of the world's well-known geologists. He is a Professor of the
Department of Geosciences, University of Mainz,
Mainz, Germany. He said, "Thinking where
Muhammad came from .. I think it is almost
impossible that he could have known about things
like the common origin of the universe, because
scientists have only found out within the last few
years with very complicated and advance
technological methods that this is the case." (From
'This is the Truth' [video]). Also he said, "Somebody
who did not know something about nuclear physics
fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in
a position to find out from his own mind, for
instance, that the earth and the heavens had the
same origin."

Look closer to the heaven surrounding the earth.
We call it the 'sky'. Notice the clouds? What are
they?
 
According to the scientists today:

"Water vaporizes from the oceans and rivers
forming tiny clouds. The small clouds join together
and the updrafts within the larger cloud increase.
The updrafts closer to the center are stronger,
because they are protected from the cooling effects
by the outer portion of the cloud. These updrafts
cause the cloud body to grow vertically, so the
cloud is stacked up. This vertical growth causes
the cloud body to stretch into cooler regions of the
atmosphere where drops of water and hail
formulate and begin to grow larger and larger.
When these drops of water and hail become too
heavy for the updrafts to support them, they begin
to fall from the cloud as rain, hail, etc." [From "The
Atmosphere" p. 269 and "Elements of Meteorology" pp.
141-142]

- Now just for the sake of argument, let us see what
the "Muslim scientists" used to formulate their
understandings centuries ago based on the
revelation of the Quran (revealed 1400 years ago):

Have you not seen how God makes the clouds
move gently, then joins them together, then makes
them into a stack, and then you see the rain come
out of it...
[Noble Quran 24:43]

Meteorologists have only recently come to know
these details of cloud formation, structure, and
function by using advanced equipment like planes,
satellites, computers, balloons, and other
equipment to study wind and its direction, to
measure humidity and its variations, and to
determine the levels and variations of atmospheric
pressure.

The preceding verse, after mentioning clouds and
rain, Quran speaks about hail and lightning:

... And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds)
in the sky, and He strikes with it whomever He wills,
and turns it from whomever He wills. The vivid
flash of its lightning nearly blinds the sight. [Noble
Quran 24:43]

Meteorologists have found that these
cumulonimbus clouds, that shower hail, reach a
height of 25,000 to 30,000 ft. (4.7 to 5.7 miles) like
mountains, as the Quran says;

...And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds)
in the sky... [Noble Quran 24:43]

Now this verse may raise the question: "Why does
the verse say "its lightning" while referring to hail?
This seems to indicate that hail is a major factor in
producing lightning. Looking to a book on the
subject (Meteorology Today) we find that it says:

"Clouds become electrified as hail falls through a
region in the cloud of super cooled droplets and ice
crystals. As liquid droplets collide with the hail they
freeze on contact and release latent heat. This
keeps the surface of the hail warmer than that of
the surrounding ice crystals. When the hail comes
in contact with an ice crystal, an important
phenomenon occurs: electrons flow from the colder
object toward the warmer object. So, the hail
becomes negatively charged. The same effect
occurs when super cooled droplets come in
contact with a piece of hail and tiny splinters of
positively charged ice break off. These lighter,
positively charged particles are then carried to the
upper part of the cloud by updrafts. The hail, left
with a negative charge, falls toward the bottom of
the cloud, so the lower part of the cloud becomes
negatively charged. These negative charges are
then discharged to the ground as lightning.
[Meteorology Today p. 437]

This information on lightning was discovered
recently. Until 1,600 A.D., Aristotle's ideas on
meteorology were dominant in the non-Muslim
countries. For example, he said that the
atmosphere contains two kinds of exhalation, moist
and dry. He also said that thunder is the sound of
the collision of the dry exhalation with the
neighboring clouds, and lightning is the inflaming
and burning of the dry exhalation with a thin and
faint fire. [Works of Aristotle Translated into English pp.
369 a&b]

These are some of the ideas on meteorology that
were dominant at the time of the Quran's revelation,
fourteen hundred years ago.

Let us now bring our gaze a bit closer to earth.
Consider the mountains and their majesty. Is there
anything about these massive formations that may
give us a clue as to the origin of creation?
 
A book entitled "Earth" is considered a basic
reference text in many universities around the
world. One of the authors of this book is Frank
Press. He is currently the President of the Academy
of Sciences in the USA. Previously, he was the
science advisor to former USA President Jimmy
Carter. His book says that mountains have
underlying roots [p. 435]. These roots are deeply
embedded in the ground. So mountains have a
shape like a peg as is seen in an example on page
220 in the same book. Another illustration shows
how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to
their deep roots [p. 158].

This is how the Quran described mountains. God
said in the Quran:

Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the
mountains as pegs? [Noble Quran 78:6-7]

Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains
have deep roots under the surface of the ground
and that these roots can reach several times their
elevations above the surface of the ground. So the
suitable word to describe mountains on the basis
of this information is the word 'peg', since most of a
properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the
ground. The history of science tells us that the
theory of mountains having deep roots was
introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth
century. [Geological Concept of Mountains p.5]

Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing
the crust of the earth. [Geological Concept of
Mountains pp. 44-45]. They hinder the shaking of the
earth. God said in the Quran:

And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that
it would not shake with you... [Noble Quran 16:15]

Likewise the modern theory of plate tectonics holds
that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth.
This knowledge about the role of mountains as
stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be
understood in the framework of plate tectonics
since the late 1960's
[Geological Concept of Mountains p. 5].

Could anyone during the time of the prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) have known of
the true shape of mountains? Could any one
imagine that the solid massive mountain which he
sees before him, actually extends deep into the
earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large
number of books of geology when discussing
mountains, only describe that part which is above
the surface of the earth. This is because these
books were not written by specialists in geology.
However, modern geology has confirmed the truth
of the Quran's verses.

What about the water covering the earth? Is there
another clue hiding beneath the seas?
 
Allah said in the Quran:

Or (the unbelievers' state) is like the darkness in a
deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are
waves, above which are clouds. Darkness, one
above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he
cannot see it... [Noble Quran 24:40]

This verse mentions the darkness found in deep
seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his
hand, he cannot see it. The darkness in deep seas
and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters
and below. At this depth, there is almost no light.
Below a depth of 1,000 meters there is no light at
all [Oceans Elder and Pernetta p.27].

Human beings are not able to dive more than forty
meters without the aid of submarines or special
equipment. Human beings cannot survive unaided
in the deep dark part of the oceans, such as at a
depth of 200 meters.

Scientists have recently discovered this darkness
by means of special equipment and submarines
that have enabled them to dive into the depths of
the oceans.

We can also understand from the following
sentences in the previous verse, "..in a deep sea. It
is covered by waves, above which are waves, above
which are clouds,..." that the deep waters of seas
and oceans are covered by waves, and above these
waves are other waves.

It is clear that the second set of waves are the
surface waves that we see, because the verse
mentions that above the second waves there are
clouds. But what about the first waves? Scientists
have recently discovered that there are internal
waves which "occur on density interfaces between
layers of different densities." [Oceanography, Gross,
p. 205].

The internal waves cover the deep waters of seas
and oceans because the deep waters have a higher
density than the waters above them. Internal waves
act like surface waves. They can also break just like
surface waves. Internal waves cannot be seen by
the human eye, but they can be detected by
studying temperature or salinity changes at a given
location.

Water covers so much of the earth and even mixes
with the land in rivers and streams. Yet is there
something keeping it from mixing with itself? What
is contained in this mystery of separation of
waters?
 
dern Science has discovered that in the places
where two different seas meet, there is a barrier
between them. This barrier divides the two seas so
that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and
density.
[Principles of Oceanography - Davis, pp. 92-93]

For example, Mediterranean Sea water is warm,
saline and less dense, compared to Atlantic Ocean
water. When Mediterranean Sea water enters the
Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several
hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of
about 1,000 meters with its own warm, saline and
less dense characteristics.
The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth.
[Principles of Oceanography p. 93]

The Mediterranean Sea water as it enters the
Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill with its own warm,
saline and less dense characteristics, because of
the barrier that distinguishes between them.
Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (C).

Even in depths (indicated here by darker colors) up
to 1,400 meters and at distances ranging from a
minus -100 to +2,500 meters, we find that both
bodies of water maintain their individual
temperatures and salinity.

Although there are large waves, strong currents,
and tides in these seas, they do not mix or
transgress this barrier.

The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier
between two seas that meet and that they do not
transgress. God said:

He has let free the two seas meeting to gather.
There is a barrier between them. They do not
transgress.
[Noble Quran 55:19-20]

But when the Quran speaks about the divider
between fresh and salt water, it mentions the
existence of "a forbidding partition" with the barrier.

God said in the Quran:

He is the one who has let free the two bodies of
flowing water, one sweet and palatable, and the
other salty and bitter. And He has made between
them a barrier and a forbidding partition. [Noble
Quran 25:53]

On may ask, why did the Quran mention the
partition when speaking about the divider between
fresh and salt water, but did not mention it when
speaking about the divider between the two seas?
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries,
where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the
situation is somewhat different from what is found
in places where two seas meet. It has been
discovered that what distinguishes fresh water
from salt water in estuaries is a "pycnocline zone
with a marked density discontinuity separating the
two layers."
[Oceanography p. 242]

This partition (zone of separation) has a different
salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water
[Oceanography p. 244 and Introductory Oceanography
pp. 300-301]

This information has been discovered only recently
using advanced equipment to measure
temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility,
etc. The human eye cannot see the difference
between the two seas that meet, rather the two
seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea.
Likewise the human eye cannot see the division of
water in estuaries into the three kinds: the fresh
water, the salt water, the partition (zone of
separation).

What about us? Are we a part of creation? How did
we begin? What develops us and causes us to live
and die? How are we sustained?
 
the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of
man's embryonic development, 1,400 years before
modern day scientists 'discovered' important
information on creation of man and his
development:

We created man from an extract of clay. Then We
made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly
fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech,
suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made
the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed-like
substance)... [Noble Quran 23:12-14]

Literally the Arabic word alaqah has 3 meanings:
leech
suspended thing
blood clot

1. "In comparing a leech to the embryo at the
alaqah stage, we find similarity between the two."
[The Developing Human p.8].
"Also, the embryo as this stage obtains
nourishment from the blood of the mother, similar
to the leech which feeds on the blood of others."
[Human Development as Described in Quran and
Sunnah p.36].

2. The second meaning of the word alaqah is
'suspended thing'. The suspension of the embryo,
during the alaqah stage, in the womb of the mother
very appropriately fits this description.

3. The third meaning of the word alaqah is 'blood
clot'. We find that the external appearance of the
embryo and its sacs during the alaqah stage is
similar to that of a blood clot. This is due to the
presence of relatively large amounts of blood
present in the embryo during this stage. Also
during this stage the blood in the embryo does not
circulate until the end of the third week. So the
embryo at this stage is like a clot of blood.

By examining a diagram of the primitive
cardiovascular system in an embryo during the
alaqah stage we would notice the external
appearance of the embryo and its sacs is similar to
that of a blood clot due to the presence of relatively
large amounts of blood present in the embryo [The
Developing Human, p. 65]

So the three meanings of the word alaqah
correspond accurately to the descriptions of the
embryo at the alaqah stage.

The next stage mentioned in the verse is the
mudghah stage. The Arabic word mudghah means
"chewed-like substance." If one were to take a
piece of gum and chew it in his mouth, and then
compare it with the embryo at the mudghah stage,
we would conclude that they would be almost
identical because of the somites at the back of the
embryo that 'somewhat resemble teeth marks in a
chewed substance.'

How could Muhammad (peace be upon him) have
possibly known all this 1,400 years ago when
scientists have only recently discovered this using
advanced equipment and powerful microscopes
which did not exist at that time? Hamm and
Leeuwenhoek were the first scientists to observe
human sperm cells using an improved microscope
in 1677 A.D. (more than 1,000 years after
Muhammad, peace be upon him]. They mistakenly
thought that the sperm cell contained a miniature
preformed human being that grew when it was
deposited in the female genital tract [The Developing
Human, p.9]

Professor Keith Moore is one of the world's
prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and
embryology and is the author of the book entitled
the "Developing Human", which has been
translated into eight languages. This book is
considered a scientific reference work and was
chosen by a special committee in the United States
as the best book authored by on person. Dr. Keith
Moore is a Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology
at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. In
1984, he received the most distinguished award
presented in the field of anatomy in Canada, the
J.C.B. Grant Award from the Canadian Association
of Anatomists. He has directed many international
associations, such as the Canadian and American
Association of Anatomists and the Council of the
Union of Biological Sciences.

In 1981, during the Seventh Medical Conference in
Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Professor Moore said; "It
has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify
statements in the Quran about human
development. It is clear to me that these
statements must have come to Muhammad from
God, or Allah, because almost all of this knowledge
was not discovered until many centuries later. This
proves to me that Muhammad must have been the
messenger of God, or Allah [The reference for this
statement is on 'This is the Truth' (video tape). For
a copy of this video tape please contact us].

Consequently, Professor Moore was asked the
following question, "Does this mean that you
believe that the Quran is the Word of God?" He
replied; "I find no difficulty in accepting this."

During one conference, Professor Moore stated, "...
because the stagein of human embryos is complex,
owing to the continuous process of change during
development, it is proposed that a new system of
classification could be developed using the terms
mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah (sayings of
Muhammad, peace be upon him). The proposed
system is simple, comprehensive, and conforms
with present embryological knowledge. The
intensive studies of the Quran and Hadith (reliably
transmitted sayings and reports of Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him) in the last four
years have revealed a system of classifying human
embryos that is amazing since it was recorded in
the 7th century A.D. Although Eric Statle, the
founder of the science of embryology, realized that
chick embryos developed in stages from his
studies of hen's eggs in the fourth century B.C., he
did not give any details about these stages. As far
as it is known from the history of embryology, little
was known about the stagein and classification of
human embryos until the twentieth century. For this
reason, the descriptions of the human embryo in
the Quran cannot be based on scientific knowledge
in the 7th century A.D. The only reasonable
conclusion is that these descriptions were revealed
to Muhammad from God. He could not have known
such details because he was an illiterate man with
absolutely no scientific training." [This is the Truth
-video tape]

Think about the humans. How did we all get here?
What is the nature of mankind? What causes us to
act as we do? Are we ungrateful to the One who
created us and sustains us? What is this clue?
Think about yourself. Did you create yourself?
