Publisher's Synopsis
The scientific explanation of the origin of the Universe is that of a Big Bang. However, The Quranic verses indicate that the universe is an ""uninterrupted sequence from origin until the end"" within a specific time span. The verses further reveal that everything in the material universe is inter-connected through ""tracks and pathways"" (possibly providing for instant communication and travel), and could be the same as 'wormholes' that scientists speak of.
As commonly understood, the human body is a part of earthly evolution (created from clay). However, The Quran states that the infusion of 'Nafs' in the mother's womb transforms the foetus into a 'human' much before birth (V. 7; 172). "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam ..." [V. 3; 59], declaring that Adam (AS) too had a mother, but no father. Possibly, Adam (AS) and Eve (AS) were born to different Neanderthal females (humans share 4-5% DNA with Neanderthals). And, God bestowed Adam (AS) and Eve (AS) with only two sons. How did the human race proliferate? - Read inside for an explanation backed by Quranic information.
Genome analysis indicates that human inter-breeding with Neanderthals created the Denisovan group. Only a few offspring received 'Nafs' from God to be human while the remaining were eliminated by Noah's flood and the passage of time.
God's each Day worked out from The Quran- equals -- 1.15 billion years
As per The Quran the present age of Universe is (1+6+4=11x1.15=12.65) or -- 13.00 billion years
Science puts the Universe age as -- 13.70 billion years
(Science estimate is on higher side, a re-look needed by Scientists)
Total life span (Quran) of Universe (1+6+4+1+1=13x1.15+14.95) or -- 15.00 billion years
This book presents God's Grand Design as a continuous sequence of His Governance of the birth, development, retreat and death of the universe and all matter, inanimate as well as animate.
