As were previously covered, according to Islamic teachings, the earth and universe have been around for a long time. It is clearly stated in the Qur’an that one reason why Allah made us intelligent and attentive to our surrounding is so that we can discover the wonders of the natural splendor of the world around us. Allah provided us with the task to investigate and explore all that He created.
Islam teaches us that Allahs creation is vast beyond our comprehension. The more we explore and learn about the earth and universe around us, the more we will come to believe in Allah.
Allah said: “Behold! In the creation of space and the earth in the changing if night into day are indeed signs for people understanding. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting and laying down, and contemplate the (wonders) of creation in space and the earth. (They declare,) “Our Lord! You didn’t create all of this. So save us from the punishment of the fire.” (3:190-191)
Therefore, science certainly increases our faith. For hundred of years, people have been finding fossils, bones and ancient artifacts which point to a hidden past we don’t know much about.
We know the earth existed long before the appearance of humans. Allah says, “Wasn’t there a long period of time before humans were even mentioned?”
We also know from the geological timeline that the earth went through many ages before we came to existence. In the ayat (verse) that mentions this proof of Allah, we are given a strong clue about the adaptability of life forms to their environments.
The Qur’an stated, “Don’t you see that Allah sends rain from the sky? With it We produce plants of various colors. And in the mountains are colored layers, white and red of various tones and some black in hue. And so to among humans and crawling creatures and cattle. They are of various colors. Those among Allah’s servants who have knowledge truly fear Him, for Allah is mighty and Forgiving.”
We agree with scientist that declares the existence of self-replicating/self-producing organisms. The concept of dinosaurs, trilobites and ancient algae’s does not go against our beliefs. Rather, it confirms the power of Allah. The Qur’an states, “He has created horses and mules for you to ride and show; and He has created other (creatures) that you do not know.” (16:8)
“Allah created every creature from water. Of them are some that creep in their bellies, some that walk on two legs and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills for He has power over all things. We have indeed sent signs that make things clear and Allah guides whom He wills to the straight way.” (24:45-46)
Quick summary, in Islam we know of the existence before we were created. We are encouraged to explore the natural wonders of this earth. We are accepting and support scientific findings to help us better understand our world, our life, and our Lord.

Why does Allah tell about the Creation of the Universe, which happened too long ago?
Allah knows us best and is aware that humans are very skeptical creatures. In the Qur’an, He states “…if you were to seek a tunnel into the earth or a ladder into the skies and bring them a sign, (they still wouldn’t be convinced.) If it were Allahs’ will. He could gather them all to true guidance, do don’t be amongst those who are influenced by ignorance.” (6:35)
So Allah made it a point to supply us with many proofs in the Qur’an about His existence. We need proof and Allah has given us Proof.
Allah of course is not in need of us to follow Him or believe in Him. “Allah can do without them and Allah is free from all needs.” (64:6) He merely advises that people would choose to believe in Him so He can reward them for the way they carried their lives. Allah is ready to forgive even those who acted wrongly if they genuinely ask for his forgiveness and try hard not to repeat the same mistake. In a Hadith, it states that “When Allah decreed the creation (of the Universe,) He set down His book which his with Him, ‘Indeed, My mercy is stronger than My wrath.’”

The process of creation can be summarized as follows: All matter in the universe was compacted together in one place. Then Allah gave the commanded and it blew apart scattering molecules and gases in all directions. (The Big Bang.) The force of this initial explosion keeps the universe expanding.
Space was filled with matter, anti-matter and gases which eventually combined into larger particles. These bits of matter eventually grew into asteroids, planets, stars and moons.
Each object of inter-space conformed to a set of physical laws which governed the trajectory of their orbits so a regular pattern of rotation could be seen. (21:33, 29:61)
Stars ignite in a fury of radioactive fusion and gave off light and heat which brought warmth to those these planets nearby. (86:3) Small moons were captured in the orbit of larger planets and came to have regular orbit around them, often reflecting light from the sun. (54:1-2)
Finally the planets themselves developed and formed in a variety of ways with fantastic geologic formations and movements both above and below the surface. (27:61)
The planet earth, in particular, cooled near its outer layer, forming a thin rust made up of plates that moved and grated against each other. (15:19) This allowed the earth’s surface to constantly erase the damage caused by occasional asteroids impacts. But the colliding of plates also has its; side effect of rising tall mountains and exposing the geologic history of the planet.
Escaping gases from the ground and water, warmed in the sunlight, eventually raised to a high altitude where they formed a protective layer. This Ozone Layer shielded out harmful radiation and ultraviolet rays from the sun. After a time, life was to appear but that is the topic for another update. For now, it is amazing that this scientific narrative is almost exactly the same as what Allah revealed in the Qur’an.

It is absolutely amazing and I can only proclaim my marvel at Allah’s Revelations. Remember, He mentioned these things to teach us to be believers in Him. If He tells us the truth, we would be fools not to do so. Correct?

We previously covered what Islam and who Allah is. Briefly, Islam is not a religion but is a complete way of life that follows the consistent natural flow of the world and Universe. It is in harmony with the natural order of nature and existence.
Allah, a Being who is beyond our limited intellectual capacity, created the Universe Billions of Years ago. He had created natural laws and functions of matter and orders according to His will. By this, we can state that the entire Universe is Muslim. It is surrendered to Allah’s’ will. In certain galaxies on certain planets at some point, Allah permitted living organisms to develop. One particular planet, Earth, came to exist a very complex ecosystem. After some time , Allah created Human beings on that planet Earth. They were willed to be like no other creature before them. They would posses far more intellect and free will. No cat, dog, fish, frog, monkey nor tree can function in any other way than that of its own natural instincts and tendencies. Humans, however, would be given the choice of how to live their lives. They had the ability to defy their instincts and natural tendencies to whatever they please. But, with this free will came consequences. Allah created this universe free of disorder and chaos. In the development of human societies, people have the choice to either conform to the values of order and peace or to fulfill their nasty desires to cause destruction and follow their raw natural instincts. Humans have the choice weather to utilize that intellect and free will to do better for mankind or low themselves to the level of a beast.
The way of life Allah wants humans to choose is one which Humans use their intellect and emotions to search for facts about Allah and the entire Universe. And to hold a firm brotherhood with whom coexists. There must be no anger, hatred, violence and greed against your fellow brother. All foul emotions and actions must be controlled and eliminated.

This is enough for now. I know, I know. Many of you are shaking your heads telling yourselves that this isn't the Islam that you see. I can not speak on behalf of all Muslims but I can definitely speak on behalf of Islam. And what I witness around the globe and even in my own "Muslim" society is not Islam. I do not blame anyone who has the wrong impression about Islam but you should know better. Judge Islam by its book. Judge any religion or way of life by it's text because certainly texts do not change and shows you what the object of it’s existence since it’s beginning. People are surely not always the best example to illustrate what their way of life is. If you have any questions, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask. Am open and always willing to respond to what ever question, concerns, or curiosities you may have. Take care
