Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : the heavens and the earth were one solid mass, then tore them apart .
Ref: Surah Al-Ambiya’ 21:30 (Astronomy)
Arabic:
أَوَلَمۡ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقا فَفَتَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ حَيٍّۚ أَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ
Translation:
"Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?"
Tafseer / Explanation:
- Reference to Creation: The verse speaks of the heavens and the earth initially being a joined entity before being separated, which some interpret as a description akin to the Big Bang theory.
- Scientific Insight: It highlights that all living beings are created from water, aligning with modern biological findings about the essential nature of water for life.
- Call for Reflection: The verse challenges disbelievers to ponder over the signs of creation as evidence of Allah’s power and existence.
- Encouragement of Faith: By presenting observable phenomena in nature, the verse invites humanity to recognize Allah's wisdom and submit to Him.
- Unity in Diversity: The separation of the heavens and the earth symbolizes Allah’s ability to bring order and complexity out of a unified origin, showcasing His creative power.
