Salat or PrayerI. Introduction

.

�ذ�ين� �ه�مف�يه�مال ت �ص�ال� ع�ون �ح�خ�اش� �فل �أ �ون م�ؤم�ن .ال

ق�د

“Certainly will the believers have succeeded: They who are during their prayer

humbly submissive”.(Surah Al-Muminun: 23:1-2)

This word as used in the Holy Quran and Hadith is formed from the word „Salat‟ and „Tasliat‟

and in the Arabic dictionary it means “To pray.” But in Islamic terminology it conveys the way

of expressing worship by man to his real Creator and object of worship in the special manner

taught by God to the people by His Apostles.

Surah Adh Dhriyat Chapter #51 Verse#56

And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me

(Alone).

Salah is the ritual prayer practiced by Muslims in supplication to Allah (SWT). The term is

commonly used to refer to the five daily prayers, which are compulsory upon all mature

Muslims. Salah is considered the most important act of worship in Islam and its importance is www.facebook.com/ecc.farhanExecutive Coaching Centre(ECC)0345-4055044/0332-8697223




such that under very few circumstances it can be omitted.

Surah Al Ankaboot Chapter# 29 Verse# 45

Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish

regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and

unjust deeds;

Salah strengthens the foundations of our faith. It prepares a person to live the life of goodness

and obedience to Allah (SWT), and it builds courage and determination. Every time we perform

Salah, we renew our commitments to Allah (SWT) and we rid ourselves from worldly pressures

five times a day.

According to a Hadith a companion of Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) came to him one day

and asked him "What is the thing that Allah (SWT) loves most?" Holy Prophet Mohammad

(pbuh) replied "The thing that Allah (SWT) loves most is when his people pray Salah on time."

Surah Al- Baqrah Chapte#02 verse #03





Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in

prayer, and spend out of what We have provided

for them;


Nay, seek (Allah's) help with patient perseverance and prayer:


Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers….

Surah An Nur Chapter# 24 Verse# 56

“And keep up the prayer………….”


establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds;

Once Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) shook a dry branch of a tree so that all of the

leaves of the branch fell off than the Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said "The sins of

those who pray Salah, drop off as the leaves of this branch fell off." Person who

regularly offers Salah is one who getting the maximum benefit in all means. Salah is

the spiritual communication between The Lord and His Salve, between Creator and His

Creation and this is main reason that mankind get internal satisfaction that their Lord.

Their God is with them.

The Prophet pbuh says that: Salaat is the pillar of deen and the foundation of Islam. He

who upholds salah has upheld Islam and he who leaves salah has left behind religion.

(al-baihaqi). The daily prayers are a way for us to keep a close connection to our





Creator. It is through salah that we can get our suplications answered and our needs

fulfilled. When the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) were in need, they would turn to

Allah in prayer. Salah is a way for us to show a commitment to our faith. Every time

we pray salah, we renew our commitment to Allah and relieve ourselves from the

pressures of our daily lives.

Salah is thus the main path towards spiritual purification. It is through salah that we can

gain self-discipline and good qualities. For example, in prostration we submit our will

to Allah in all humbleness. We also purify our hearts.

The prophet (pbuh) once asked his companions “Tell me if there was a river at the door

step of one of you in which you washed 5 times a day would any of your dirt remain?”

When he received the reply that none of it would remain he then said “That is like the 5

daily prayers, with which Allah wipes out our sins.”

VII. Benefits of prayer

i. Private Benefits

(a) Discipline and responsibility

(b) Character Building

“ The dearest act in the eyes of Allah is that which is done constantly even

though it may be small”. (Al-Hadith)

(c) Sense of Duty

(d) Humbleness





“Indeed the believers are successful who are humble in their prayers”. (Al-

Quran)

(e) Brings a person nearer to God

“And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those

who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.”(40:60)

(Surah Ghafir)

(f) Punctuality

(g) Fear of God

(h) Self Belief

(i) Purification of Mind and soul

“ Surely Allah loves the repentant and loves those who cleanse themselves”.

(2:222)

(j) Sense of balance between material life and life of Hereafter

(k) To Remind Us The Purpose of Life

To remind us the purpose of life. To transfer the whole life of mankind in to prayers –

obedience to Allah. It is necessary to underline that man is the creature of Allah and for

constant remembrance of this fact we should regularly offer Salah and this is also the

main fact that the prayers have been prescribed.


Establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds;

It follows naturally that the effect of prayer is to pass a clean life full of wellbeing and

peace.www.facebook.com/ecc.farhanExecutive Coaching Centre(ECC)0345-4055044/0332-8697223




(l) Salah Brings Peace in Hearts

According to The Holy Qur‟an

Surah Ar Rad Chapter #13 verse #28

For without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.

This is the greatest desire of mankind to possess peace and rest in their hearts which is

above all worldly riches. To achieve such peace man makes every kind of efforts, but

more the worldly gains, a man acquires, a further peace recedes from him and instead

of peace man is surrendered by worries and sorrows.

Only prayers are such a blessings, that can bring solace and peace to man. When man

stand in prayer he fells the blessings of Allah and he assures that all his prayers are only

for One true God to whom everything belongs this is that fact which bring peace in to

mind and hearts of the man.

(m) Sense of obligation

If a person has no sense of obligations his life will be spent flippantly and this flippancy

eventually cause him misery. Salah has been Divinely ordained to in calculate a sense

of discipline and responsibility in men. To perform Salah regularly will become his

second nature. This will give him insight to his own qualities, and he will be ever

prepared for achieving his objects. Since Salah is measure of man and differentiate

between good and evil, The Holy

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said “Between the virtuous slaves of Allah and

infidelity stan discarding of prayers”

(n) Character Buildingwww.facebook.com/ecc.farhanExecutive Coaching Centre(ECC)0345-4055044/0332-8697223




Another most imperative benefit of offering Salah on the life of an individual is that the

character of that person is developed along certain well defined lines. This mode of life

is beneficial to man for its chalks out such a path for them, treading on which they

achieve success and happiness in every part of their life.

A person who offers Salah daily on times, it ensures the softness and humbleness in his

character as it shows every time when he bows down to his Creator. It also brings the

sense of responsibility in an individual when he tried his level best to offer Salah on

time that results in punctual.

Salah develops in Muslims another quality of good character. This is patience, which is

the source of strength needed to face the hardships of life. The Qur‟an repeatedly

encourages Muslims to get help and strength from regularly praying in any kind of

stress or trouble.

Surah Al Baqrah Chapter #02 verse #45

“…Seek God‟s help through patience and prayer.”

Surah Al Baqrah Chapter #02 verse #153

“O you who believe. Seek help with patience,

perseverance and prayer; for God is with those

who patiently persevere.”

(o) Self Discipline

Self-discipline can be learnt from the regularity of performing prayers at the proper

times as well as the ablution, which precedes the prayer. Getting up in the early

morning to perform dawn prayer when one is still drowsy and during the day when one





is busy with work and at night when one is preoccupied with family and other activities

is a good example of self-discipline.

Muslims are obliged to offer their prayer under all circumstances. It is a religious duty

that Salah can be performed even if one is ill or on a journey. Simply, the Salah can be

performed in a sitting position if one cannot get up or in a lying position if one cannot

sit or even by signs if one cannot move hands or other parts of the body. In all cases,

Muslims have to fulfill their obligation of Salah because God made it easy for everyone

as the Qur‟an says:

Surah Baqrah Chapter #02 verse #185

Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties.

ii. Collective Benefits

It is apparent that mere individual benefits are not sufficient for mankind, but

collective or social benefits are also necessary, because individual traits alone

cannot bring any meaningful results, unless the society in which he lives, does

not also share those same traits. Man cannot live in isolation, his brothers, his

relatives, his neighbors all have interaction with him. Prayer fulfill the need of

social life, and structures society and brings it to life to five times a day. It is

therefore we have Divinely ordained to offer 5 times Salah in congregational.

Muslims are provided with many opportunities for gathering in various

occasions. The mosque is open for individuals to pray voluntary the daily





prayers and obligatory for Friday prayer and annual prayers at the two Feasts.

Muslims assemble in the mosque and meet each other in these occasions with

the feeling of unity and brotherhood regardless of their social or economic

status. It is an opportunity to know each other and to share their opinion and to

co-operate to solve their problems. They can help one another by supporting

whoever is in need and give generously out of their wealth to the less fortunate

people in their community. This is to develop in them a sense of co-operation

and a habit of doing things together.

(b) Equality and fraternity

“ The believers are but a single brotherhood”. (Al-Quran)

(c) Principle of leadership and Discipline

Comparative study of religionsHinduism

Introduction

The most popular among the Aryan religions is Hinduism. ‘Hindu’ is actually a Persian word

that stands for the inhabitants of the region beyond the Indus Valley. However, in common

parlance, Hinduism is a blanket term for an assortment of religious beliefs, most of which are

based on the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

Sources (Scriptures)

There are several sacred scriptures of the Hindus. Among these are the Vedas, Upanishads and

the Puranas are the upper most. The word Veda is derived from vid which means to know,

knowledge par excellence or sacred wisdom. There are four principal divisions of the Vedas

(Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Yajurveda, Samveda). After these there is ITIHAAS: The two epics

of Hinduism are the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

Concept of God in Hinduism

Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to

this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three

gods Bhrama, Shiva and Vishnu. Some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty

three crore i.e. 330 million gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their

scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.

The major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common





Hindus’ belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-

living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as god. He

considers the trees as god, the sun as god, the moon as god, the monkey as god, the snake as god

and even human beings as manifestations of god!

Concept of Life after death

Most of the Hindus believe in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, which is called ‘Samsara’ or

the doctrine of rebirth is also known as the theory of reincarnation or of transmigration of the

soul. This doctrine is considered to be a basic tenet of Hinduism. According to doctrine of

rebirth, differences between individuals, even at the time of their birth are due to their past karma

i.e. actions done in the past birth. For example if one child is born healthy while another is

handicapped or blind, the differences are attributed to their deeds in their previous lives. Those

who believe in this theory reason that since all actions may not bear fruit in this life, there has to

be another life for facing or reaping the consequences of one’s actions.

The important point worth noting is that the doctrine of rebirth is not postulated, propounded nor

even mentioned anywhere in what are considered to be the most authentic Hindu scriptures i.e.

the Vedas. The Vedas make no mention of the entire concept of transmigration of souls.

Buddhism

Introduction

Historical criticism has proved that the original teachings of Buddha can never be known. It

seems that Gautama





Buddha’s teachings were memorized by his disciples. After Buddha’s death a council was held at

Rajagaha so that the words of Buddha could be recited and agreed upon. There were differences

of opinion and conflicting memories in the council. Opinion of Kayshapa and Ananda who were

prominent disciples of Buddha were given preference. A hundred years later, a second council at

Vesali was held. Only after 400 years, after the death of Buddha were his teachings and doctrines

written down. Little attention was paid regarding its authenticity, genuineness and purity.

Source (Scripture)

The most important of all Buddhist scriptures is the TRI-PITAKA which is in Pali text. It is

supposed to be the earliest recorded Buddhist literature which was written in the 1st Century

B.C.

The TRI-PITAKA or Three Baskets of law is composed of 3 books:

1.Vinaya Pitaka: ‘Rules of Conduct’ This is a book of discipline and mainly deals with rules of

the order.

2.Sutta Pitaka: ‘Discourses’ It is a collection of sermons and discourses of Gautama Buddha

and the incidents in his life. It is the most important Pitaka and consists of five divisions known

as Nikayas. Dhammapada is the most famous Pali literature and contains aphorisms and short

statements covering the truth.





3.Abhidhamma: ‘Analysis of Doctrine’ This third basket contains meta physical doctrines and

is known as Buddhist meta physicals. It is an analytical and logical elaboration of the first two

pitakas. It contains analysis and exposition of Buddhist doctrine.

Noble Truths:

The principal teachings of Gautama Buddha can be summarised in what the Buddhists call the

‘Four Noble Truths’:

First – There is suffering and misery in life .

Second – The cause of this suffering and misery is desire.

Third – Suffering and misery can be removed by removing desire. Fourth – Desire can be

removed by following the Eight Fold Path.

B. The Noble Eight Fold Path:

(i) Right Views (ii) Right Thoughts (iii) Right Speech (iv) Right Actions (v) Right Livelihood

(vi) Right Efforts (vii) Right Mindfulness (viii) Right Meditation

Concept of God

Buddha was silent about the existence or non-existence of God. It may be that since India was

drowned in idol worship and anthropomorphism that a sudden step to monotheism would have

been drastic and hence Buddha may have chosen to remain silent on the issue of God. He did not

deny the existence of God. Buddha was once asked by a disciple whether God exists? He refused

to reply. When pressed, he said that if you are suffering from a stomach ache would you www.facebook.com/ecc.farhanExecutive Coaching Centre(ECC)0345-4055044/0332-8697223




concentrate on relieving the pain or studying the prescription of the physician. "It is not my

business or yours to find out whether there is God – our business is to remove the sufferings of

the world".

Concept of Life After Death

To Buddhism, however, death is not the end of life, it is merely the end of the body we inhabit in

this life, but our spirit will stil remain and seek out through the need of attachment, attachment to

a new body and new life. Where they will be born is a result of the past and the accumulation of

positive and negative action, and the resultant karma (cause and effect) is a result of ones past

actions.

Judaism

Introduction

Judaism is one of the major Semitic religions. Its followers are known as Jews and they believe

in the prophetic mission of Prophet Moses (pbuh).

Sources (Scripture)

The complete Jewish Bible is composed of 24 books called the Tanach (ך״נת). The Tanach is

made up of Torah (5 books of Moshe, the word Torah means 'teachings'), Nevi'im (Prophets),

K'tuvim (Writings).

Concept of God

Unlike other ancient Near Eastern gods, the Hebrew God is portrayed as unitary and solitary;

consequently, the Hebrew God's principal relationships are not with other gods, but with the





world, and more specifically, with the people He created. Judaism thus begins with an ethical

monotheism: the belief that God is one, and concerned with the actions of humankind.

Concept of life after death

Traditional Judaism firmly believes that death is not the end of human existence. However,

because Judaism is primarily focused on life here and now rather than on the afterlife, Judaism

does not have much dogma about the afterlife,

1. Judaism believes in an afterlife but has little dogma about it

2. The Jewish afterlife is called Olam Ha-Ba (The World to Come)

3. Resurrection and reincarnation are within the range of traditional Jewish belief

4. Temporary (but not eternal) punishment after death is within traditional belief

Christianity

Introduction

Christianity is a Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.2 billion adherents all over the

world. Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred

scripture of the Christians. Christianity teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, God having become

human and the savior of humanity. Because of this, Christians commonly refer to Jesus as Christ

or Messiah. The three largest groups in the world of Christianity are the Roman Catholic Church,

the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the various churches of Protestantism. The Roman Catholic

and Eastern Orthodox patriarchates split from one another in the East–West Schism of 1054 AD,

and Protestantism came into existence during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century,

splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.





Source (Scripture)

The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old

Testament is the Holy Scripture of the Jews and contains records of all the prophets of the Jews

that came before Jesus (pbuh). The New Testament contains records of the life of Jesus (pbuh).

The complete Bible, i.e. the Old Testament and the New Testament put together, contains 73

books. However, the Protestant Bible i.e. the King James Version, contains only 66 books as

they consider 7 books of the Old Testament to be apocrypha, i.e. of doubtful authority.

Therefore the Old Testament of the Catholics, contains 46 books and that of the Protestants, 39

books. However the New Testament of both these sects contains 27 books.

Concept of God

Concept of God in Christianity is as Trinity, it refers to the teaching that the one God comprises

three distinct, eternally co-existing persons; the Father, the Son (incarnate in Jesus Christ), and

the Holy Spirit. Together, these three persons are sometimes called the Godhead, although there

is no single term in use in Scripture to denote the unified Godhead. An early statement of

Christian belief, "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are

not three Gods but one God". They are distinct from another: the Father has no source, the Son is

begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father. Though distinct, the three

persons cannot be divided from one another in being or in operation.

Concept of Life after death in Christianity





Christian eschatology is concerned with death, an intermediate state, Heaven, Hell, the

Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, a rapture, a tribulation, the Millennium,

end of the world, the last judgment, a new heaven and a new earth, and the ultimate

consummation of all of God's purposes. Eschatological passages are found in many places,

especially Isaiah, Daniel, Matthew 24, Matthew 25, and the Book of Revelation.





Creation of Universe: An Islamic perspective

The Islamic view toward the universe is an intellectual, scientific view that creates the human

emotions and feelings toward the greatness of Allah the creator. It also creates emotions and

feelings toward the smallness of the human being and his weakness in front of this universe,

which leads to the necessity to submit to Allah (S.W.T.).

Allah Has created everything

According to The Quran, the life containing universe is solely created by the Almighty Allah and

He is the Supreme Ruler of the universe. In Islamic ideology it is very unambiguous that

whatever exists is created by Allah (swt). As

Allah (swt) speaks in Qur‟an

Surah Rad Chapter # 13 Verse # 16

“Say: (Allah) is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and

Irresistible."

Surah Az zumar Chapter #39 Verse #62

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakil (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian)

over all things.

There are many other ayahs (verses) which refer to the fact that all that is on the Earth and in the

Heavens is created by Almighty Allah (swt). Second important fact according to The Quran is

that this universe—Earth and Heavens— has definite life period and has some definite objectives

like other creations.





Creation of Universe

Islam is a scientifically inclined religion, perhaps the sole one! In its scripture Qur'an, God

repeatedly appeals to people to travel the earth and observe. Why, He wants them to journey into

the outer space too! He encourages them to look into Nature and examine the life forms and their

activities. He commands them to contemplate upon these matters. That is not all. Qur'an contains

in itself a large number of facts of any array of branches of science. Most of them were

discovered in the last two centuries only, whereas they were existing in the Qur'an since it was

revealed some fourteen centuries ago. That goes to prove that the Scripture of Islam is of Divine

origin. Its author is Allah Himself, His Messenger Muhammad (Pbuh) being its publisher!

The creation of the universe is explained by astrophysicists in a widely accepted phenomenon,

popularly known as the „Big Bang‟. It is supported by observational and experimental data

gathered by astronomers and astrophysicists for decades. According to the „Big Bang‟, the

whole universe was initially one big mass (Primary Nebula). Then there was a „Big Bang‟

(Secondary Separation) which resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then divided to form

stars, planets, the sun, the moon, etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the probability of

it occurring by „chance‟ is zero. The Qur‟aan contains the following verse, regarding the origin

of the universe

Surah Al Ambiya Chapter # 21 Verse # 30

“Do not the Unbelievers see That the heavens and the earth Were joined together (as one Unit

of Creation), before

We clove them asunder?”

The striking congruence between the Qur‟aanic verse and the „Big Bang‟ is inescapable! How

could a book, which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400 years ago, contain this profound

scientific truth? This verse makes unmistakable reference to the fact that Allah created the





universe from a single entity, and He is All-Capable over all things. Allah then ordered this

'single entity' to split, which it did, and turned into a cloud of smoke. From this cloud of smoke

Allah created the heavens and earth. This is mentioned in the words of Allah

Scientists say that before the galaxies in the universe were formed, celestial matter was initially

in the form of gaseous matter. In short, huge gaseous matter or clouds were present before the

formation of the galaxies. To describe initial celestial matter, the word „smoke‟ is more

appropriate than gas. The following Qur‟aanic verse refers to this state of the universe by the

word dhukhan which means smoke.

Surah Fussilat Chapter # 41 Verse # 11

“Moreover, He Comprehended In His design the sky, And it had

been (as) smoke: He said to it And to the earth: „Come ye together,

Willingly or unwillingly.‟ They said: „We do come (Together), in

willing obedience.‟”

Again, this fact is a corollary to the „Big Bang‟ and was not known to the Arabs during the time

of Prophet

Muhammad (pbuh). What then, could have been the source of this knowledge?

The Qur'an further states that Allah created the sun, the moon, and the planets, each with their

own individual courses or orbits.

Surah Ambiya Chapter #21 Verse #33

"It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun

and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along,





each in its rounded course"

This is scientific fact that the universe is expanding, the idea that the universe is continuing to

expand is availbe in Qur‟an. "The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are

expanding it" (51:47). There has been some historical debate among Muslim scholars about the

precise meaning of this verse, since knowledge of the universe's expansion was only recently

discovered.

At another place in Quran Allah Discuss about the time period of creation of universe, if you

read the Qur‟an

Surah Al Araf Chapter #7 verse #54

Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is

firmly established on the throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day,

each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all)

governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be

Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!

The verses that mention "six days" use the Arabic word "youm" has two perspective meanings

one as a day and other as a period . The word "youm" is thus understood, within the Qur'an, to be

a long period of time -- an era or eon. Therefore in Qur‟an the description of a "six day" creation

as six distinct periods or eons. The length of these periods is not precisely defined, nor are the

specific developments that took place during each period.

Purpose Of Creation

The universe as a whole is a creation of Allah (swt) that created it for a purpose. Even everything

which you witnessed today is cratered for a purpose. As Allah Says in Qur‟an





Surah Ad Dukhan Chapter # 44 Verses # 38, 39

"We have not created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play,

We created them not except with truth, but most of the do not

know."

Surah Anbiya Chapter #21 Verses # 16, 17

"We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for mere play. If

We wanted to create aimless things, we would have done it if we were

going to do (that)."

While describing the purpose of creation of universe we can divide it on to two major point of

views, first the purpose of universe from the Creator (Allah) point of view and second the

purpose of creation of universe from creation (Universe, Human, Animals etc) point of view.

First we will discuss the purpose of creation of universe from creator point of view, and we know

that one of the main attribute of Allah (swt) is KHALIQ means Creator so it is the main ability of

God to create. And one of the best creations of Allah (swt) is the creation of universe as Allah

Says in Qur‟an

Surah Ghafir Chapter #40 Verse#57

Assuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is a greater than the

creation of men: Yet most men understand not.

The Arabic word “Khalaq” which means to create have two aspects one to create something

from something and other is to create something from nothing and that is the only attribute of





Allah. It is mentioned in Qur‟an

Surah Mariyam Chapter # 19 verse # 9

He said: "So (it will be) thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: I did indeed

create thee before, when thou hadst been

nothing!'"

As we have already discussed that Allah (swt) has not created anything without purpose. Erath,

Moon, Sun Galaxies these all the best creation of Allah (swt) and these all are fully exploit in the

wellbeing for human being. Human is also the beautiful creation of God with a particular

purpose as mentioned in Qur‟an

Surah Adh Dehriyat Chapet#51 Verse#56

And I did not Create the jinn and humans except they should worship Me.

At another place in Quran purpose of human creation is clearly mentioned

Surah Al Mulk Chapter #67 Verse#02

He Who created Death and Life, that He may test which of you is

best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-

Forgiving.

Conclusion

Now if we compare the Islamic concept of creation of universe appears in The Quran and

Current Big Bang theory, we can see that there are some features of Big Bang theory that are





closely similar to the Islamic concept of Creation of Universe, for example, creation out of

nothingness, initial singularity, concept of formation of galaxies from primordial gases, and

uniformity of universe on large scale.

We as Muslims believe that Allah (swt) created the heavens and the earth in perfect harmony and

balance, and that He continues to reign over His creation. Muslims find no conflict between this

belief and current scientific theories regarding the creation of earth.
