Qur’anic Verse (Arabic):

﴿أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا﴾

(Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:30)

English Translation:

“Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were once a joined entity, and We separated them?”

Scientific Significance:

This verse remarkably aligns with the modern Big Bang theory, which states that the universe originated from a single, extremely dense point before expanding. At the time of the Qur’an’s revelation, the idea of a unified cosmic origin was unimaginable. The verse’s precise wording suggests separation after unity, a concept that strongly resonates with contemporary cosmology and is considered by many scholars as a sign of Qur’anic scientific insight.
