Surat Al-'A`lá (The Most High) - األعلى سورة
These, under layers of mud and rock, then turn into petrol and gas.
Movements in the Earth's crust sometimes lead to the sea petrifying and to the rocks containing petrol being buried
thousands of metres deep.
As we know, petrol forms from the remains of plants and animals in the sea.
Once these have decayed on the sea bed after millions of years, all that is left are oily substances.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
The three elements identified in the first four verses of Surat al-A'la parallel the
formation of petroleum.
The petrol that forms sometimes leaks through the pores in the rock layers from several kilometres
down, and rises to the surface, where it vaporises (turns into gas), leaving a mass of bitumen behind.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
It is quite likely that the term "almaraa," meaning pasture or meadow, refers to the organically-based
substances in the formation of petroleum.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
The second word of note in the verse is "ahwa,"
used to describe blackish-green, greenish-black, dark or sooty colours.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
This word can be thought of as describing the waste plant
matter accumulated underground gradually turning black, since these words are supported by a third word,
"ghuthaan."
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
The word "ghuthaan" translated as stubble, can also mean flood-
water plants, plants brought together by waste matter being collected and dispersed around valleys, rubbish, leaves or foam.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
In addition to the connotation of "vomiting out" implied in the
word, it may also be translated as "to flood forth vomited
matter," and describes the way that the earth "vomits" forth
petroleum.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
In fact, in the light of the formation of petroleum, the way
it emerges, its foam-like appearance and its colour, one
can better see with what wisdom were employed the words in the
verses.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
As has been discussed, the plant in the verse turning into a dark and viscous
liquid bears a strong resemblance to the
formation of petroleum.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
The description of such a formation over many years, at a
time when the formation of petroleum was unknown, is
without doubt another proof that the Qur'an is the revelation of
Allah.
THE FORMATION OF PETROL
Today, the relativity of time is a proven scientific fact.
This was revealed by Einstein's theory of relativity during the early part of the
20th century.
THE RELATIVITY OF TIME
Yet, the renowned scientist Albert Einstein proved this fact by discovering the theory of relativity.
He showed that time is dependent on mass and velocity.
Until then, it was not known that time was relative, nor that it could change
according to the circumstances.
THE RELATIVITY OF TIME
However, the Qur'an had already included
information about time's being relative! Some
verses about the subject read:
THE RELATIVITY OF TIME
… A day with your Lord is equivalent
to a thousand years in the way you count. (Qur'an,
22:47)
Sahih InternationalAnd they urge you to hasten the punishment. But Allah will
never fail in His promise. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.
Dr. GhaliAnd they ask you to hasten the torment! And Allah will never
fail His promise; and surely a Day in the Reckoning of your Lord is as a thousand years of what you count.
Farsiوعده از هرگّز خداوند که حالی در می کنند؛ عذاب در شتاب تقاضای تو از آنان
! سالهایی از سال هّزار همانند پروردگارت، نّزد روز یک و کرد نخواهد تخلDف خود ! می شمرید شما که است
Surat Al-Ĥaj (The Pilgrimage) - الحج سورة
22:47
He directs the whole affair from heaven to
earth. Then it will again ascend to Him on a Day
whose length is a thousand years by the
way you measure. (Qur'an, 32:5)
Sahih InternationalHe arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand
years of those which you count.Dr. Ghali
He conducts the Command from the heaven to the earth; thereafter it winds up (i.e., to ascend with difficalty) to Him in
(one) Day, whose determined (length) is a thousand years of what you number.
Farsiمقدار که روزی در سپس می کند؛ تدبیر زمین سوی به آسمان از را جهان این امور

Surat As-Sajdah (The Prostration) - السجدة سورة
32:5
The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him
in a day whose length is fifty
thousand years. (Qur'an, 70:4)
Surat Al-Ma`ārij (The Ascending Stairways) - المعارج سورة
70:4
Sahih InternationalThe angels and the Spirit will ascend to Him during a
Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.Dr. Ghali
To Him the Angels and the Spirit ascend with difficulty to Him in a Day whereof the determined (length) is
fifty thousand years.Farsi

Surat Al-Ma`ārij (The Ascending Stairways) - المعارج سورة
70:4
The fact that the relativity of time is so definitely
mentioned in the Qur'an, which began to be revealed
in 610, is more evidence that it is a divine book.
THE RELATIVITY OF TIME
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six
days and then settled Himself firmly on the
Throne... (Qur'an, 7:54)
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Sahih InternationalIndeed, your Lord is Allah , who created the
heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He
covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the
moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation
and the command; blessed is Allah , Lord of the worlds.
Surat Al-'A`rāf (The Heights) - األعراف سورة
7:54
Dr. GhaliSurely your Lord is Allah, Who created the
heavens and the earth in six days. Thereafter He leveled Himself upon the Throne (How He did so is beyond human understanding). He envelops the
daytime (with) the night, (which) seeks it out promptly, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars are subjected to His Command. Verily, to Him (belong) the creation and the Command. Supremely Blessed be Allah, The Lord of the
worlds.

One example of the harmony between the
Qur'an and modern science is the subject
of the age of the universe.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Cosmologists estimate the age of
the universe as 16-17billion years.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
The Qur'an states that the entire universe was created in
six days.These two time frames, which may seem contradictory, are
actually surprisingly compatible.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
In fact, both these figures concerning
the age of the universe are
correct.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
In other words, the universe was created in six days, as revealed in the Qur'an, and this period corresponds to 16-17 billion years in the way that we experience
time.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
In 1915 Einstein proposed that time was relative, that the
passage of time altered according to space, the speed
of the person travelling and the force of gravity at that
moment.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Bearing in mind these differences in the passage of
time, the period of time in which the universe was created as revealed in seven different
verses of the Qur'an is actually highly compatible with scientists'
estimations.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• The six-day period revealed in the Qur'an can be thought of as six periods.
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• Because, taking into account the relativity of time, a "day" refers only to a 24-hour period experienced on Earth under current conditions.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION

• in the universe, however, at another time and under other conditions, a "day" could refer to a much longer period of time.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Indeed, the word "ayyamin" in the period of six days (sittati
ayyamin) in these verses (Qur'an 32:4, 10:3, 11:7,
25:59, 57:4, 50:38, and 7:54) means not only "days," but also "age, period, moment, term."
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
In the first period of the universe, the passage of
time took place much faster than that with which we are familiar
today.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
The reason for this is that, at the moment of
the Big Bang, our universe was
compressed into a very small point.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• The expansion of the universe and increase in its volume ever since the moment of that explosion has extended the borders of the universe to millions of light years.
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• Indeed, the stretching of space ever since that moment has had very important ramifications for universal time.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• The energy at the moment of the Big Bang slowed down the flow of time 1012 (one million-million) times.
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• When the universe was created the speed of universal time was higher up to a million-million times, as time is experienced today.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
In other words, a million -million
minutes on Earth is the equivalent of just
one minute in universal time.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Calculated in terms of years, 6 trillion days
equates to approximately 16.427
billion years.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
This is within the estimated range for the age of the
universe.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
6,000,000,000,000 days/365.25 = 16.427104723 billion years
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
When a six-day period of time is calculated
according to the relativity of time, it equates to six
million- million (six trillion) days.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
That is because universal time flows a million-million times faster than time on
Earth.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the
heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He
wills. His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their
preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.
(Qur’an, 2:255)
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Sahih InternationalAllah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness
overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of
His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their
preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - البقرة سورة
2:255
Dr. GhaliAllah. There is no god except He, The Ever-Living, The Superb Upright Sustainer. Slumber does not overtake Him, nor sleep; to Him (belongs) whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that intercedes for His Providence except by His Permission?
He knows whatever is in front of them (Literally: between their hands) and whatever is behind them, and they do
not encompass anything of His Knowledge except whatever He has decided. His Chair embraces the
heavens and the earth; the preserving of them (Literally: them both) does not tire Him; and He is The Ever-Exalted,
The Ever-Magnificent.
Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - البقرة سورة

CREATION
IN SIX

• On the other hand, each of the six days of creation equates to very different periods, as we perceive time.
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• The reason for this is that the speed of the passage of time declines in proportion to the expansion of the universe.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION
IN SIX

• Ever since the Big Bang, as the size of the universe doubled, so the passage of time halved.
CREATION
IN SIX

• As the universe grew, the speed at which the universe doubled increasingly slowed down.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
CREATION

• This rate of expansion is a scientific fact acknowledged the world over and described in the text book The Fundamentals of Physical Cosmology.
CREATION
IN SIX
DAYS
• When we calculate every day of creation in terms of Earth time, the following situation emerges:
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Looked at from the moment when time began, the first day of
creation (first phase) lasted 24 hours.
This period, however, is the equivalent of 8 billion years
in Earth terms.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
This, however, lasted half as long, in our terms, as the preceding day, in other
words 4 billion years.
The second day of creation (second phase) lasted 24 hours.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
The fourth day (fourth phase) lasted 1 billion years.
The third day (third phase) lasted half as long as the second day, in other words 2
billion years.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
The fifth day (fifth phase) lasted 500 million years.
And the sixth day (sixth phase) lasted 250 million years.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
Conclusion: When the six days of creation, in other words the six phases, are added together in
Earth terms, the resulting figure is 15 billion 750 million years. This figure displays an
enormous parallel with modern-day estimations.
CREATION IN SIX DAYS
This conclusion is one of the facts revealed by 21st century science.Science has once again confirmed a fact revealed in the Qur'an 1,400
years ago.This harmony between the Qur'an
and science is one of the miraculous proofs that the Qur'an
is the revelation of Allah, the Creator, the Omniscient.
