Expanding Universe -Dawahbook
Introduction

 

The Quran mentions the expanding universe in Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:47). This verse is often interpreted as referring to the expanding nature of the universe, which is a concept consistent with modern cosmological understanding.

 

وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍۢ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ

 

We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺.

 

51:47

Edwin Hubble

 

In 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble made a groundbreaking discovery. He observed that distant galaxies were moving away from us. The farther away a galaxy was, the faster it seemed to be moving. This observation led to the formulation of Hubble’s Law and provided strong evidence that the universe is expanding.
