Abstract

This research highlights the creation of the universe and life in the context of Quranic verses and modern scientific discoveries. The study links the Big Bang theory with the Islamic perspective, explaining that the Quranic verse from Surah Al-Anbiya, "كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنٰهُمَا" (They were joined together, and We separated them), aligns with the concept of the Big Bang. Various Islamic scholars, including Qari Muhammad Tayyab, Syed Maududi, Dr. Israr Ahmad, and Riffat Ijaz, have provided profound interpretations regarding the creation of the universe.

According to scientists, the origin of life began with water, which is consistent with the Quranic verse "وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاۗءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ" (We made every living thing from water). This research highlights the role of water in the formation of DNA and the fundamental elements of life. Modern astronomical studies, including research by Nobel Laureate James Peebles and other scientists, further support the idea that the evolution of the universe follows a structured scientific process.

The study also explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Planets and moons such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter's moon Europa have been identified as potential celestial bodies that could harbor life due to the presence of water reserves. The Islamic perspective also suggests that Allah has created life in the heavens and the earth, further strengthening this hypothesis.
