SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU THING A GROWING SEED ITSELF CAN BURST OUT FROM THE LAND NO, IT'S WRONG THEN SURELY THER IS A
 CREATOR. DO YOU THINK THE CREATOR IS A MAN?OR THE STATUE'S MADE UP WITH ROCK & WOODS? IS STATUE CAN HEAR YOU OR TO HELP YOU? NO THEN SURELY THERE IS CREATOR FOR EARTH. IN  ARABIC WE CALL HIM ALLAH IN ENGLISH WE CALL HE THE ALMIGHTY GOD.THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT SHOWS ALLAH IS EXISTING AND ALLAH IS THE CRAETOR OF WORLD .
LOOK THIS WORDS OF ALLAH IN QUARAN FROM SURAH ALMU'MINOON(THE BELIVERS) IT'S ABOUT THE CRATION OF MAN.
 

11. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever.
12. And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).
13. Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge) (and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman).
14. Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators.

INTRODUCTION TO ISLAM

The Muslim's Beliefs

Unlike other beings, man has the tendency to think that any thing that is organized much have an organizer. Islam simply applies the same natural logic to the universe and the environment around us which has so many amazing and well organized inter-related systems that witness of the existence of a powerful creator. It is in this direction that Muslims believe in an unseen Ultimate Creator, source of all the physical and spiritual power that exist in the universe. We know about this creator not only through the powerful evidence of how organized is the universe, but also through a line of prophets, including but not limited to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammed. They came to draw our attention to him so that we may make the choice to believe by responding to an inner instinct (that is confirmed daily) that all that is organized must have an organizer and that this universe is the creation of the ultimate organizer: God the one, the eternal, the creator, the fastest who calculates, the light, the originator, to list only a view of the names and attributes of the one God as outlined in the Koran (Qur'an).
The first five verses of the Koran represent the Islamic natural approach to believe in the one God:
Read in the name of your Lord who created;
Created man from a clot that clings
Read and your Lord is the most generous;
He who taught by the pen;
Taught man that which he knew not.
Accordingly a Muslim faith is pronounced in the format of admitting the existence and oneness of the Creator as follows:

I witness there there is no God, but one God
and that Mohammed is his prophet.
(or for that matter one of his prophets, since the Koran states that Mohammed is no more than a prophet, a lot of prophets have passed before him).

WHERE IS THE CHRIST IN CHRISTIANITY?

Religious scholars have long attributed the tenets of Christian faith more to Paul’s teachings than to those of Jesus.  But as much as I would like to jump into that subject, I think it best to back up and take a quick, speculative look at the Old Testament.
The Old Testament teaches that Jacob wrestled with God.  In fact, the Old Testament records that Jacob not only wrestled with God, but that Jacob prevailed (Genesis 32:24-30).  Now, bear in mind, we’re talking about a tiny blob of protoplasm wrestling the Creator of a universe 240,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles in diameter, containing over a billion galaxies of which ours—the Milky Way Galaxy—is just one (and a small one, at that), and prevailing?  I’m sorry, but someone was a couple pages short of a codex when they scribed that passage.  The point is, however, that this passage leaves us in a quandary.  We either have to question the Jewish concept of God or accept their explanation that “God” does not mean “God” in the above verses, but rather it means either an angel or a man (which, in essence, means the Old Testament is not to be trusted).  In fact, this textual difficulty has become so problematic that more recent Bibles have tried to cover it up by changing the translation from “God” to “man.”  What they cannot change, however, is the foundational scripture from which the Jewish Bible is translated, and this continues to read “God.”
Unreliability is a recurring problem in the Old Testament, the most prominent example being the confusion between God and Satan!  II Samuel 24:1 reads:
“Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, ‘Go, number Israel and Judah.’”
However, I Chronicles 21:1 states: “Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.”
Uhhh, which was it?  The Lord, or Satan?  Both verses describe the same event in history, but one speaks of God and the other of Satan.  There is a slight (like, total) difference.
Christians would like to believe that the New Testament is free of such difficulties, but they are sadly deceived.  In fact, there are so many contradictions that authors have devoted books to this subject.  For example, Matthew 2:14 and Luke 2:39 differ over whether Jesus’ family fled to Egypt or Nazareth.  Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4 differ over the wording of the “Lord’s Prayer.”  Matthew 11:13-14, 17:11-13 and John 1:21 disagree over whether or not John the Baptist was Elijah.
Things get worse when we enter the arena of the alleged crucifixion: Who carried the cross—Simon (Luke 23:26, Matthew 27:32, Mark 15:21) or Jesus (John 19:17)?  Was Jesus dressed in a scarlet robe (Matthew 27:28) or a purple robe (John 19:2)?  Did the Roman soldiers put gall (Matthew 27:34) or myrrh (Mark 15:23) in his wine?  Was Jesus crucified before the third hour (Mark 15:25) or after the sixth hour (John 19:14-15)?  Did Jesus ascend the first day (Luke 23:43) or not (John 20:17)?  Were Jesus’ last words, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit my spirit’” (Luke 23:46), or were they “It is finished” (John 19:30)?
These are only a few of a long list of scriptural inconsistencies, and they underscore the difficulty in trusting the New Testament as scripture.  Nonetheless, there are those who do trust their salvation to the New Testament, and it is these Christians who need to answer the question, “Where is the ‘Christ’ in ‘Christianity?’  “This, in fact, is a supremely fair question.  On one hand we have a religion named after Jesus Christ, but on the other hand the tenets of orthodox Christianity, which is to say Trinitarian Christianity, contradict virtually everything he taught.
I know, I know—those of you who aren’t screaming “Heretic!”  are gathering firewood and planting a stake.  But wait.  Put down the high-powered rifle and listen.  Trinitarian Christianity claims to base its doctrines on a combination of Jesus’ and Paul’s teachings.  The problem is, these teachings are anything but complementary.  In fact, they contradict one another.
Take some examples: Jesus taught Old Testament Law; Paul negated it.  Jesus preached orthodox Jewish creed; Paul preached mysteries of faith.  Jesus spoke of accountability; Paul proposed justification by faith.  Jesus described himself as an ethnic prophet; Paul defined him as a universal prophet.[1] Jesus taught prayer to God, Paul set Jesus up as intercessor.  Jesus taught divine unity, Pauline theologians constructed the Trinity.
For these reasons, many scholars consider Paul the main corrupter of Apostolic Christianity and Jesus’ teachings.  Many early Christian sects held this view as well, including the second-century Christian sects known as “adoptionists”– “In particular, they considered Paul, one of the most prominent authors of our New Testament, to be an arch-heretic rather than an apostle.”[2]
Lehmann contributes:
“What Paul proclaimed as ‘Christianity’ was sheer heresy which could not be based on the Jewish or Essene faith, or on the teaching of Rabbi Jesus.  But, as Schonfield says, ‘The Pauline heresy became the foundation of Christian orthodoxy and the legitimate church was disowned as heretical.’ … Paul did something that Rabbi Jesus never did and refused to do.  He extended God’s promise of salvation to the Gentiles; he abolished the law of Moses, and he prevented direct access to God by introducing an intermediary.”[3]
Bart D. Ehrman, perhaps the most authoritative living scholar of textual criticism, comments:
“Paul’s view was not universally accepted or, one might argue, even widely accepted …. Even more striking, Paul’s own letters indicate that there were outspoken, sincere, and active Christian leaders who vehemently disagreed with him on this score and considered Paul’s views to be a corruption of the true message of Christ ….  One should always bear in mind that in this very letter of Galatians Paul indicates that he confronted Peter over just such issues (Gal. 2:11-14).  He disagreed, that is, even with Jesus’ closest disciple on the matter.”[4]
Commenting on the views of some early Christians in the Pseudo-Clementine literature, Ehrman wrote:
“Paul has corrupted the true faith based on a brief vision, which he has doubtless misconstrued.  Paul is thus the enemy of the apostles, not the chief of them.  He is outside the true faith, a heretic to be banned, not an apostle to be followed.”[5]
Others elevate Paul to sainthood.  Joel Carmichael very clearly is not one of them:
“We are a universe away from Jesus.  If Jesus came “only to fulfill” the Law and the Prophets; If he thought that “not an iota, not a dot” would “pass from the Law,” that the cardinal commandment was “Hear, O Israel, the Lord Our God, the Lord is one,” and that “no one was good but God”….What would he have thought of Paul’s handiwork! Paul’s triumph meant the final obliteration of the historic Jesus; he comes to us embalmed in Christianity like a fly in amber.”[6]
Dr. Johannes Weiss contributes:
“Hence the faith in Christ as held by the primitive churches and by Paul was something new in comparison with the preaching of Jesus; it was a new type of religion.”[7]
A new type of religion, indeed.  And hence the question, “Where is the ‘Christ’ in ‘Christianity?’  “If Christianity is the religion of Jesus Christ, where are the Old Testament laws and strict monotheism of the Rabbi Jesus’ Orthodox Judaism?  Why does Christianity teach that Jesus is the son of God when Jesus called himself the “son of Man” eighty-eight times, and not once the “son of God?”  Why does Christianity endorse confession to priests and prayers to saints, Mary and Jesus when Jesus taught his followers:
“In this manner, therefore, pray: ‘Our Father …’” (Matthew 6:9)?
And who appointed a pope?  Certainly not Jesus.  True, he may have called Peter the rock upon which he would build his church (Matthew 16:18-19).  However, a scant five verses later, he called Peter “Satan” and “an offense.”  And let us not forget that this “rock” thrice denied Jesus after Jesus’ arrest—poor testimony of Peter’s commitment to the new church.
Is it possible that Christians have been denying Jesus ever since?  Transforming Jesus’ strict monotheism to the Pauline theologians’ Trinity, replacing Rabbi Jesus’ Old Testament law with Paul’s “justification by faith,” substituting the concept of Jesus having atoned for the sins of mankind for the direct accountability Jesus taught, discarding Jesus’ claim to humanity for Paul’s concept of Jesus having been divine, we have to question in exactly what manner Christianity respects the teachings of its prophet.
A parallel issue is to define which religion does respect Jesus’ teachings.  So let’s see: Which religion honors Jesus Christ as a prophet but a man?  Which religion adheres to strict monotheism, God’s laws, and the concept of direct accountability to God?  Which religion denies intermediaries between man and God?
If you answered, “Islam,” you would be right.  And in this manner, we find the teachings of Jesus Christ better exemplified in the religion of Islam than in Christianity.  This suggestion, however, is not meant to be a conclusion, but rather an introduction.  Those who find their interest peaked by the above discussion need to take the issue seriously, open their minds and then … read on!

Footnotes:
[1] Jesus Christ was one more prophet in the long line of prophets sent to the astray Israelites. As he so clearly affirmed, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24) When Jesus sent the disciples out in the path of God, he instructed them, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 10:5-6) Throughout his ministry, Jesus was never recorded as having converted a Gentile, and in fact is recorded as having initially rebuked a Gentile for seeking his favors, likening her to a dog (Matthew 15:22-28 and Mark 7:25-30). Jesus was himself a Jew, his disciples were Jews, and both he and they directed their ministries to the Jews. One wonders what this means to us now, for most of those who have taken Jesus as their ‘personal savior’ are Gentiles, and not of the “lost sheep of the house of Israel” to whom he was sent.

Where Did Everything Come From? the bigbang theory

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?
Let us now come to our main subject:
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?
Look closer to the heaven surrounding the earth. We call it the 'sky'. Notice the clouds? What are they?
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?
What about the water covering the earth? Is there another clue hiding beneath the seas?
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?
What about us? Are we are part of creation? How did we begin? What develops us and causes us to live and die? How are we sustained?
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?
Who or What created all this? Who is sustaining everything? How do organisms reproduce themselves? How can a tree grow up out of a seed?

SCIENCE BEHIND FASTING (fasting sooths the stomach)

Ramadan fasting has a healing effect on peptic ulcers as it curbs smoking which is recognised as a precipitating factor for the peptic ulcer. The whole gastro-intestinal system takes good rest for the first time in the whole year
I feel pity for the stomach. I really feel pity for the stomach, intestines and infact the whole gastro-intestinal system. And this is so because the whole year, we never let this system take rest.
Apart from the three main meals, every few minutes, we pour something in our stomach, be it snacks, drinks, fruits or other eatables. None of us ever thinks that the food which we had already sent in before is being digested by the stomach and right when it has reached halfway, we dump some more into it only to disrupt the digestive work previously completed. This of course makes the food stay a longer time in the stomach which may result in dyspepsia, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome etc.
In contrast, Ramadan is the only period in which our gastro-intestinal system takes good rest as the Muslims observe fasting for the whole month. Digestion is not just the name of churning movements of the stomach and the absorption by the intestines, but it is a huge integrated system involving the nervous system (eg. vagus nerve) as well as hormone secreting glands.
So the whole gastro-intestinal system takes good rest for the first time in the whole year. As digestion begins in the mouth where the salivary glands secrete excessive saliva which carries hormones to act upon the food, the burden on the salivary glands and teeth is reduced in the month of Ramadan. The oesophagus takes rest during fasting as there is no food to require its propelling movements which push the food to the stomach. Similarly, the stomach and the intestines also take good rest as after completing the digestion and absorption of food consumed at Sehri time, they have nothing to do till Iftar time. Even glands like pancreas and gall bladder which secrete hormones also reduce their secretions as there is no food to demand their hormones. Hence, there is substantial reduction in the gastrointestinal hormones like gastric juice, gastrain, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP), motilin, vascoactive intestinal peptide (VIP),neurotension, enteroglucagon, neuropeptide Y, gallium etc. Lastly, the colon and the liver are also at ease during fasting. In short, Ramadan lifts the heavy burden and strain which we have put on our gastrointestinal system and gives it what can said to be a refreshing annual vacation of 30 days. Now coming to the diagnostic possibilities of Ramadan fasting, a good number of patients who consult physicians with abdominal pain, suffer from peptic ulcers. The peptic ulcer can be gastric or the duodenal type. The occurence of abdominal pain in both gastric and duodenal ulcers is different in relation to the food intake. Duodenal ulcer pain, though variable usually occurs when the stomach is empty and the gastric ulcer creates pain after the food intake.
In normal days, the differentiation of the two entities is difficult to make as people eat frequently, but in Ramadan, an individual undergoes two stages. One during the fasting when his stomach is empty and the other after evening meal when the stomach is full. If the patient complains of abdominal pain while fasting, it will point to the possibility of duodenal ulcer and if the pain occurs after Iftar, then gastric ulcer will be the suspected diagnosis. The peptic ulcer pain is variable and it may not occur in some patients. Similarly, in most of the duodenal ulcer cases, as soon as mild pain starts, the patient eats something due to which the pain disappears and the disease remains undiagnosed. This undiagnosed ulcer may later surface with perforation of the ulcer and haematemesis (vomiting of blood) which has a high mortality. In Ramadan, while fasting, the duodenal ulcer pain is more likely to surface and as there is no provision to relieve the pain with food, the patient may be forced to consult a physician who with the help of endoscopy can easily clinch the diagnosis. While examining the abdomen of a patient who is already fasting, a physician can easily palpate the tenderness as well as feel the oedema around the peptic ulcer region.
Ramadan fasting has a healing effect on peptic ulcers as it curbs smoking which is recognised as a precipitating factor for the peptic ulcer. It also has beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia and gastritis.
Last, but not the least, imagine a person who has fasted for more or less 14-15 hours and is now ready to break his fast. His taste buds have taken good rest, so at Iftar, the food is going to taste more pleasant and enjoyable than ever before. This is yet another bounty of Ramadan. Allah's Messenger Prophet Muhammad (saws) says: "There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord, then he will be pleased because of his fasting.

QURAN AND SCIENCE - HOW FIRE AND OXYGEN BE?

Quran, the Miraculous Book calls our attention to the multifarious phenomena of nature occurring around us. It keeps on diverting the attention of its reader from the day its revelation started to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) till present and future generations to the search for existence of God. It picks up examples and observations we have in our close environment. Here to quote one example for people who would know God from the phenomena of combustion and fire we kindle. The Quran reads and claims as;
"أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ النَّارَ الَّتِي تُورُونَ{71} أَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَا أَمْ نَحْنُ الْمُنشِؤُونَ{72}" (الواقعة : 21-72)
“See ye the fire which ye kindle? Is it ye who grow its tree or do We grow it” (56: 71-72).
Attention of the reader is diverted to the phenomena of fire burning in relation to a tree with a question that who created its tree that produce fire. What is the use of the word ‘tree’ Quran relates with the fire? Why not Quran choose the word ‘wood’ because fire burns dry wood as we observe in our daily life. What is the relation of tree with a fire to occur? Simpler, for a 7th century reader is that fire burns dry wood and that is our common observation too. But a very close reading of the passage would mean something different for a person who is more specialized in science and would seek the existence of God in his/ her scientific discoveries. He/she would put the question why does Quran not explain the exact process of fire if it has taken it as something that would guide mankind to the existence of God. What all science knows is neither tree nor wood but ‘Oxygen’ that is released by plants during photosynthesis which means ''putting together with light.'' The best known form of photosynthesis is the one carried out by higher plants and algae, and some cyanobacteria responsible for a major part of photosynthesis in oceans. All green plants on the surface of earth have green coloring chlorophyll which contains chloroplast in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight and combines carbon dioxide and water in a process called photosynthesis. The end products of this photosynthesis are carbohydrate (sugar) and oxygen (Figure Photosynthesis).

The carbohydrate or glucose which plants produce is utilized by the plants for making starch, fats, and proteins. The second product of this process is oxygen. All oxygen we have in the environment for respiration and combustion comes from this process of photosynthesis. And all this what science has found is correct. He/ she then would say ‘what is God and how would I perceive His existence if I were to take this example of fire?
The Quran answers this question in a more concise manner and shows its reader to know GOD from your scientific discoveries and read the verse below;
"الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ الشَّجَرِ الْأَخْضَرِ نَاراً فَإِذَا أَنتُم مِّنْهُ تُوقِدُونَ{80}" (يس : 80)
Know that “God is One Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith”. (36:80).
"And Allah is one Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, then Behold? you kindle there with".
More special in the verse above is the word ‘green trees’ which has challenged the 7th century reader to contemplate and as an answer for the 21st or later century readers. The second point that needs more attention is the Arabic word ‘Min’ meaning “from” or “out of”. What is that which the green trees produce for burning through which we kindle our fire? Is it not explaining the end process of photosynthesis in green trees with which we burn our fire? (Oxygen as one of the end product of photosynthesis is a common knowledge for today’s man but for a reader of 7th century, the phenomenon was yet to be discovered). It is up to you the men of Science and knowledge. What name you choose for it. You call it element of life, fire or "Oxygen". It is the property Almighty Allah has put in green trees for you as a sign and a lesson to understand God. If there were no green trees, there would have been no oxygen and no combustion. Nomadic people of desert had no knowledge of oxygen. All they knew was their observation of burning, either it was dry wood or a by-product of a green tree such as coal or oil. Oxygen was not known to them but they were challenged with the word ‘fire’ from green tree and were asked to uncover the knowledge that would lead you to the belief of existence of God after all their discoveries submit to the power of God who put such properties in green trees.
We notice here two remarkable features of the Quran. The first feature is that it expresses scientific truths that will be verified centuries later. The second feature is that the Quran expresses those truths using terms and expressions that would avoid confusing its first readers in the 7th century. The 7th century reader easily relates it to the image of fire from a tree and the 21st century scientist can easily interpret the word ‘fire from green trees’ as Oxygen.
Thus Quran fulfills the curiosity and mental capabilities of both 7th and succeeding century readers.
In the last message, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) said, "All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others, again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly”. In the preceding verses from the Holy Quran we can observe this fact that the words of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) were correct. The Quran revealed to him is the last book and has the miraculous capacity of answering questions of all ages present and future and that Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) was chosen as the last prophet of God who would fulfill this responsibility of prophecy to the present and future generations as well. Indeed Quran is for all ages, and all kinds of people. It is a source of knowledge. It provides hints to humanity for contemplation and knowing about the Creator.
“Allah has taught man that which he knew not” (96: 5)

QURAN& SCIENCE - THE ACTUAL AGE OF UNIVERSE

The discovery of the expansion of the universe achieved by the astronomer Edwin Hubble at 1929, was based on the red shift of the faraway galaxies, red shift occurs when an object is receding far away from an observer, and so the object´s light wave left behind it get elongated, light waves when elongated are shifted to red Fig.1. When Hubble discovered that the light received from the galaxies located farther away from the Earth, is more red shifted, that means the farther galaxies receding speeds from the Earth are higher than the nearby ones, which means that as the farthest galaxies are speeding up ¹, the whole universe containing them is receding from us, or by another way, it is expanding, but what is the relation between this and the age of the universe?
Fig. 1 ²
As we know that the light speed is constant, and the light speed is equal to the distance divided by time, this means estimating the distance of certain stars (Cephids variable stars) with knowing the speed of light, will estimate for us the time these stars took to recede from the Earth. When applying this idea on the whole universe that is also considered to be receding from a singularity point, with using extra equations, and the farthest seen galaxies, the age of the universe was calculated.
In addition, the farther these galaxies seemed to be, the greater the red shift, and thus the faster they seemed to be speeding away. This was the first direct evidence that the universe is not static but expanding. By calculating when all of the objects must have started speeding out from the same point yielded the first estimate of the age of the Universe.
According to science, the age of the universe is 13.75 ± 0.11 billion. This is however only the estimated time since the Big Bang. It is not known if something existed before the singularity that we call Big Bang, nor if time is linear, since the expansion estimated by Hubble's law assumed a linear expansion. Furthermore, as per scientists, calculating the age of the universe is only accurate if the assumptions built into the models being used to estimate it are also accurate, considering that:
"Based on the fact they have assumed the underlying model they used is correct"
However, the Big Bang model according to which these calculations were done is banged hardly nowadays by many scientists; Briane Greene is one of them. From my point of view as a mechanical engineer, the Big Bang cannot create a universe, neither any body can imagine that, the Big Bang should be considered as a moment that either set the universe to expand by itself, or pushed its constituents to expand, no more than that, this means their should be some other shape of the universe at the Bang time, am I right or am I wrong to consider it has a shape, can be further supported by the following discussion.
For a mechanical engineer, not like a physicist, the look to the universe is different, what we see in the universe are products, a product to be produced need a tool to make it, the tool model should have two basic requirements: a- Geometrical shape. B- Type of energetic movement. These are required to imprint its geometry on the product and to give it part of its motive energy to move it in a systematic meaningful guided way. The Big Bang only cause expansion and temperature decrease, but it destroys instead of creating a meaningful products shapes, the term gravity is inserted in-between the universe constituents as an additive that prevents the side effects of the Big Bang, but if we know that since the most amazing discovery ³ at 1998 that the universe is accelerating in its expansion, nobody can persuade a scientist or a child that the gravity has held the universe constituents since a long time when the effect of the Big Bang expansion was great, while the gravity now became weak when the effect of the Big Bang decayed, neither can anybody explain how after the Big Bang by billions of years the universe started to accelerate its expansion, because any natural or manmade explosion in the nature after an accelerating expansion by a short period, and slowing down, can start again to accelerate it after a long period.
Also, the Big Bang constituents (celestial bodies, dark matter) after the Bang’s power expanding effect decays should leave these in a natural fall, which we can not see today. So every point of thinking supports that a geometrical model should be standing behind the natural phenomena that we are discovering and seeing, that geometrical model should not only explain what we have discovered or seen, it should reveal what we do not know.
As the expansion of the universe is supporting the idea if we go by time backwards the universe should be smaller, and as the expansion of the universe supports the thermodynamic principle of temperature decrease (as size increase, temperature increase), which also is discovered to be applicable in the universe case, that means our assumed model should be naturally expanding, but as the 1998 discovery demands an acceleration in the expansion, our model should be also naturally accelerating in its expansion.
But what about the universe constituents? How can it be distributed normally all around inside the universe without falling down naturally?
If we search around us for a type of movement that can distribute a system constituents inside a 3D model naturally without falling down, we will find that it is by rotating the constituents, as in the hurricane, or sugar rotated inside a glass.
Now we added another requirement to our model, in addition to expansion, it iss rotating, if we try to draw a sketch for a 2D model, rotating and expanding, the shape will be a spiral, if we try to draw a 3D shape for it, it will be much like a scroll (nearly folded paper).
So, the assumed geometrical shape of the universe should be a spiral scroll, an expanding scroll. A quick direct fingerprint of a universe having this shape are the spiral galaxies, a quick look at an expanding scroll can show clearly it is accelerating in its expansion when set to move freely from a folded state, while it is distributing any constituents inside it upside down without falling, and with keeping it moving as every celestial object is moving in the universe.
Before calculating such universe actual age, we need to remember that light is the main tool to carry out that, but we need to remember also that the movement of this universe is not straight linear as that resulting from the Big Bang, it is Spiral Logarithmic.
But light in a non straight space (space-time) does not move straight, according to the results of Sir Arthur Eddington expedition, which carried out interpretations of the general relativity, light which is normally expected to be a beam following a straight line, is found to follow a curved path while passing a high gravity curved field (Fig. 2). While it is well-known that light passes in-between two different density mediums e.g.: from air to water, it suffers from deviation, while if we let it to pass through multi different increasing density mediums, it will suffer from a great deviation that will appear from far away to be curved. Also it is proved that the light passing from behind the galaxies towards us will be divided all around the galaxy's curved space, where it finally appears in our telescopes as a lens of light (Fig. 3).
Further phenomenon of light track suffering from bending, can be seen by the deflection of light (sent out from the location shown in blue (Fig. 4) near a compact body (shown in gray) Closely related to light deflection is the gravitational time delay (or Shapiro effect), the phenomenon that light signals take longer to move through a gravitational field than they would in the absence of that field. There have been numerous successful tests of this prediction. In the parameterized post-Newtonian formalism (PPN), measurements of both the deflection of light and the gravitational time delay determine a parameter called γ, which encodes the influence of gravity on the geometry of space. ^ Will 1993, sec. 7.1 and 7.2

Fig. 4 ⁽⁶⁾
So the light can bend, curve, delay while moving through the universe depending on the shape and strength of what is called gravitational field while passing through or nearby it were a high curvature of space-time is caused by huge masses concentration.
This means that the path of light is curving in space, when the density of the fabric of the cosmos (space-time) is changing, so we can further suppose if we twist the fabric of the cosmos in the space in away, that the density of this fabric is increasing gradually, from point to point, along the twisted space, the path of light will be twisted.
Now, what about the effect of a whole curved spiral universe on a beam of light moving from the borders of the universe towards our Earth?
If the heavens are rolled like a scroll, and expanding in a spiral track, this will lead us to assume that the light track will be twisted in the shape of a spiral through great astronomical distances, this means that the age of universe that we are measuring, may be different from the actual age, how?
As the light will move in a spiral way not straight linear track, from the point it appeared after the Big Bang happened, or the first stars light appearing until it reached us, this means that the light will follow a longer path from the point it left, to the point it reached. But how can we know how much is the pitch of the spiral way that light will follow, so that we can measure its distance length?
If we take a paper, and check which type of spiral shape it follows when it expands, we will find that any point on the paper scroll path, will increase its distance, and speed logarithmically, while moving away from the centre, this type of spiral path, is called a logarithmic spiral. For example, in Fig. 5, if we move from the centre (A) to point (C) in a straight line, we will pass 9 units of distance, while if we take the spiral way, we will pass around 27 units of distance, also we can see for each cycle of the spiral track, we moved away from the centre, we move 3 times the straight distance that we moved in the cycle prior to it, meaning for each cycle, we get logarithmically farther a way from the centre, the steps will not be equal, but will be increasing, because the acceleration of the expansion of the logarithmic spiral is increasing.
Fig. 5 ⁽⁷⁾  This natural logarithmic spiral track, has a pitch equals 10, which is nearly the same as the spiral arm shape of the Milky Way, also same as the logarithmic spiral track of a paper accelerating in its expansion,
All the nature creatures, which follow a spiral track, are following a logarithmic spiral track, but in the universe case we do not know the pitch of the heavens scroll logarithmic spiral path, but if we consider that this spiral path has an effect and leaving a finger print on the spiral galaxies, we can take our galaxy first as an example. As we know our galaxy is assumed to have a spiral pitch nearly equal 12.
In Fig. 4, the pitch of the logarithmic spiral is 10, which is near the value of our galaxy pitch, if we supposed their is a light source at point (A) and we were observing it from point (C) we will see it crossing nine units of distance, if it follows a straight line, but if this light followed a curved path through the fabric of the cosmos in the whole universe in a spiral track as it should do, like the one shown in the Fig. 5, this light will cross 27 units of distance until reaching the Earth, so it will take 3 times the time that it will take, if it comes to us through the straight track, in another way, the time the light need to reach point C is delayed, and so it will measure a higher age.
This means for the same spiral shape in Fig. 5, if the straight distance between points (A) and (C) equals (4.567) units (where each unit equals 1 billion years), the length of the spiral track between points (A) and (C) will be 3 times of the (4.567) distance, which will equal (13.701) units, or 13.701 billion years which is  the age of our universe, while the first number is the age of the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites that are formed within the solar system with an age nearly equal that of the Earth, the 13.701 billion years measured if divided by the scientific measured age of the universe, the result = 99.64 %.
Did our light follow such a spiral path, that it reached us delayed 3 times the actual time that it would take to reach us, if it went in a straight line between us and the universe first radiated light and hence it is measuring three times the actual age of the universe? With the assumed conclusion like that, is the age of the universe really equals that of the Earth?
But if the age of the Earth is equal to the age of the universe, from were did the Earth come, as it is assumed to be created from the Sun that is assumed to be created after the universe creation by nine billion years?
At this point it need to be noted that the Earth creation from the Sun is a scientific assumption, which can be falsified by knowing that the vast number of the Earth’s elements are not available in the sun, furthermore the Sun is not rocky, not cold, no water, no life. Do not this means that the Earth has a special way of creation that can support life through infinite number of physical, biological, chemical... systems supported by life which still can not be created by all the humanity even in one cell.
But how can I support these results with other proofs?
The only one who know if the universe that is enveloped by the heavens has a shape of a scroll is only the one who created it, the only one who claimed that he created it is God (Allah) who claimed that through the books he sent down to his profits (Moses: Torah (Old Testament), Jesus: Bible, Mohammed: The Quran), so what did God mention about the heavens in his books?
In the Old Testament, we read the following:
Isaiah 34:4 All the stars of the heavens will be dissolved and the sky rolled up like a scroll;
New American Standard Bible (©1995): And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
The phrases here indicates clearly that the end shape of the heavens or sky is like a scroll, but what is its shape of it at the beginning, if it is like a scroll, this means in-between the start and the ends its shape is a spiral logarithmic folded paper, but where can we get the answer and the proof?
Before more than 1400 years God also sent down the Quran to Mohammed who was not reading or writing, in the Quran we find the following:
(The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it) (Surat Al-'Anbyā': 104)
It is clear here that the Quran is adding that at the beginning of creation of the heaven its shape was like a folded sheet (a scroll), the verse further shows that the heaven will be folded back, which means the heaven will finish its expansion like an expanded scroll, which agree with what was mentioned in the Old Testament.
These proofs further agree with the greatest unexplained amazing scientific discovery, which is the accelerating expansion of the universe, which turned over most of our prior theories and models of the universe, were a scroll when released to expand, it will accelerate in its expansion.
But, to say the universe shape is like a scroll, implements that the actual age of the universe is shorter than the calculated cosmological one (13.72 billion years), it may be short until its equal the age of the Earth, but is the heavenly holy books are supporting that, that is to say the age of the heaven and the Earth are nearly equal    4.5 - 4.7 billion years?
Actually the Bible and Quran both agreed about the creation sequence, where the Bible mentioned the following:
«The sun, moon, and stars were created only after" the earth "below was created. » (Gen. 1:9-18).
While in the Quran:
(It is He who created for you all of that which is in the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is knowing of all things) (Surat Al Baqarah: 29)
So, the model proposed here for the shape of the universe, supports the discoveries related to the universe’s a- accelerated expansion b- temperature decrease c- the symmetry of celestial bodies distribution d- their movements through the universe e- reshaping of the celestial bodies f- the driving power (dark energy) of the universe expansion which is the stored energy in the originally folded scroll.
It further supports what is mentioned in the holy books about the age of the heavens which is nearly equal to that of the Earth, it also supports the verse mentioned in the Quran about the heavens expansion which is the greatest scientific discovery in the history, but simply which is mentioned before that discovery by 13 centuries in the Holy Quran where the Quran mentioned:
(And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are its expander) (Adh-Dhāriyāt: 47)
But for those who did not believe in God, I remind them by a further Quranic verse that is drawing a figure of the heavens end shape:
(They have not appraised Allah (God) with true appraisal, while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him) (Surat Az-Zumar: 67)

WHY WE DID'NT UNDERSTAND?

DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE BIRTH OF A BABY IN HUMAN BODY IS SCIENTIFICALY PROVED OR INVENTED IT'S ONLY SINCE 75 YEARS. BUT THE FACT IS THE SCIENTIFIC THINGS BEHIND THE BIRTH OF A BABY IN HUMAN BODY IS IN QURAN BEFORE 2000 YEARS AGO IN SURAH 23:12,13,14
                        

Surah Al-Mu'minun (The Believers)


12. And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).13. Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge) (and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman).
14. Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creator13.

THEN WHY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND QURAN IS THE GOD'S (ALLAH)WORDS WE ARE GOING TO A BIG DISASTER HEY FRIENDS PLEASE BELIVE IN GOD AND MAKE YOUR LIFE AND AWARE OF 
 Then (again), surely, you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.
