The points of difference and the contrasting features shall no longer remain obscure. Scientist through his knowledge has tended towards confusion, disbelief, dismay, distress, fear, misapprehension, perplexity, and lack of confidence. He fails to find the purpose of creation of this universe and the creation of man therein has puzzled him to the extremes. His hopes of ultimately finding the truth lay unfortunately in the scientific knowledge of a degree, much beyond the human reach, at least, at present. He has used all his knowledge to prove disbelief and his future expectations in the discoveries tend to further strengthening disbelief. He desires to usurp the sovereignty of God through man's conquest of the realm of nature, whereas Quran reiterates the right for God through his absolute command in the present world and his unshared sovereignty on the day of judgment, the judgment of the just and merciful God, the hope of His creatures. One wonders how if on the one hand the modern scientist is splitting the invisible atom and is endeavoring to reach the moon and the mars, on the other hand his sight, in the matters of human philosophy, is so weak and his understanding so blind, that he calls this creation on earth a chance, a creation that lacks proportion, a byproduct and something out of the way. That he should blink his eyes at the possible purpose of the creation and the purpose of man's existence on earth. That he should completely ignore the possibility of a life after death, and all that he should do surprisingly by dint of his knowledge of this material universe. The modern philosophy, therefore, as we shall see, is the complete antithesis of that of the Quran in this respect. It is their misfortune to end in atomic conflagration. And inglorious end indeed for mankind. It now is the moral duty incumbent upon the Moslem to learn and then to teach humanity the precise outlook of the Quran in religious, moral and spiritual values. That, perhaps mankind may still live, and that perhaps this dreadful danger of atomic ruin be averted. And if the humanity were destined to meet its end through atomic disaster, let at least the survivals be furnished with a light and a book which could guarantee peace and prosperity in this world and the unmixed bliss in the life to come. The Quran indeed as you shall with your own eyes see, has contained sufficient proof of the fact, that as if it knew that such and such author shall in such and such age present to the mankind such and such works to contain such and such words so that Quran occasionally repeats some of the words. They attribute everything to the laws of nature, Quran attributes everything to God the Creator, as separate from nature and as absolute master of everything and always the signs which increase the faith of a believer, add mere perplexity to the scientists.

SCIENTIST: "A few stars are known which are hardly bigger than the earth, but the majority are so large that hundreds of thousands of earths could be packed inside each and leave room to spare; here and there we come upon a giant star large enough to contain millions of millions of earths".

            (The Mysterious Universe page 1 para 1 ).

COMMENTS: The Scientist by the comparative smallness of the earth as against the universe intends to disparage the earth and minimize its significance in order to prove the life upon earth a mere by-product and somehow out of the way. The Quran therefore says:-

            "God is cognizant of what every female carries in her womb, or what the wombs want to exceed (of their disburdening time). With Him all things are in determined measure. He is the knower of the known and the unknown, the mighty and most high". (Thunder,Ar-Ra'd 8-9).

SCIENTIST : "And the total number of stars in the universe is probably something like the total number of grains of sand on all the seashores of the world".

            ( The Mysterious Universe page 1 para 1 ).

COMMENTS : The Scientist is tending toward his ultimate ignorance of the purpose of creation by belittling the earth and the life upon it. Hence says the Quran :-

            “Say! If the ocean turned to ink for writing down the colloquy of my Lord, the ocean itself would be exhausted ere the words (and wonders) of my Lord come to end, even if we brought another like it for replenishment". ( Quran Al-Kahf- The Cave- 109 ).

SCIENTIST : "Such is the littleness of our home in space, when measured up against the total substance of the universe". ( The Mysterious Universe page 1, Para 1 ).

COMMENTS : Do not worry. Quran says :-

            “Tell them! O my creatures, who have come to belief, have fear of dispensing your lord. There is good for those who do good in this world, and spacious is God's earth Only those who persevere will get their reward measureless". (Quran: The Small Groups, Az-Zumar 10 ).

SCIENTIST : "This vast multitude of stars are wandering in space. A few form groups which journey in company. But the majority are solitary travellers". (The Mysterious Universe page 1 para 2 ).

QURAN :  “It is He who made the stars by which you reckon your way through the darkness of the desert and the sea. Distinct have we made our signs for those who recognize". (Quran - The Cattle- Al-an'am - 97 ).

SCIENTIST : "And they (these stars) travel through a universe so spacious, that it is an event of almost unimaginable rarity for a star to come anywhere near to another star". (The Mysterious Universe page 1 para 2).

QURAN: We built the heavens by Our Will; and We are the Lord of power and expanse". (Quran -TheDispersing- Adh-Dhariyat - 47 ).

SCIENTIST : "For the most part each (star) voyages in splendid isolation, like a ship on empty ocean. In a scale model in which stars are ships, the average ship will be over a million miles from its nearest neighbour, whence it is easy to understand why a ship seldom finds another within hailing distance". The M  Universe page I, para  ).

QURAN : "He harnessed the day and night for you, as also the sun, the moon and the stars, by His command. In this are, signs for men who understand". ( Quran - The Bees - An-Nahl- 12 ).

            “He has the keys of the Unknown. No one but He has knowledge; He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls that is not known to him, nor a grain in the darkest (races) of the earth, nor any thing green or seared that is not recorded in the Book perspicuous".

             (Quran - Al-An'am -  The Cattle - 59 ).

SCIENTIST:

"We believe nevertheless, that some two thousand million years ago this rare event took place, and that a second star, wandering blindly through space, happened to come within hailing distance of the sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this second star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they would be very different from the puny tides which the small mass of the moon raises in our oceans; a huge tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, ultimately forming a mountain of prodigious height, which would rise ever higher and higher, as the cause of disturbance came nearer and nearer. And before the second star began to recede, its tidal pull had become so powerful, that this mountain was torn to pieces, and threw off small fragments of its much as the crest of a wave throws off spray. These small fragments have been circulating around their parent sun, ever since. They are the planets, great and small of which our earth is one". ( Mysterious Universe page 3 ).

COMMENTS :

The scientist through this possibility of the accidental birth of our earth intends to strengthen his argument regarding his denial of the religious purpose of creation and of man's creation. Yet the story of this plausible accident is based on sheer speculation. No scientist could come out with a substantial scientific proof of the accident. It is just their belief without the testimony of proof.

QURAN :

Signs are of avail only to the believers :-

“Indeed there are signs for believers in the heavens and the earth". ( Kneeling Al-Jathiyah : Makki  3 ).

            Say : “Observe all there is in the heavens and the earth. But signs or warnings will be of no avail to those who do not believe".( Jonah 101).

            “Have they not traveled in the land that they could have the heart to understand, and ears to hear? It is not the eyes alone that do not see, oblivious are the hearts within their breasts". ( The Pilgrimage  Al-Hajj 46 )

SCIENTIST:

            "The sun and the other stars we see in the sky are all intensely hot far too hot for life to be able to obtain or retain a footing on them".

            (The Mysterious Universe page 2 para 4)
