The Holy Qur’an contains the following verses regarding creation of the universe and origin of life from water:
Do not those who reject faith see that the space and earth were joined together (as one unit of creation) before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?—(Qur’an, 21: 30).
And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies, some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills; for verily Allah has power over all things.—(Qur’an, 24: 45).
Say: Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation; so will Allah produce a latter creation; for Allah has power over all things.—(Qur’an, 29: 20).
There are many cosmological verses in the Holy Qur’an, which some modern writers have interpreted as foreshadowing the expansion of the universe and possibly even the Big Bang theory. At the time the Holy Qur’an was revealed, the human understanding of the nature of the cosmos and the movement of the celestial bodies was extremely primitive and obscure. This is no longer the case, as our knowledge of the universe has considerably advanced and expanded by the present age. Some of the theories relating to the creation of the universe have been verified as facts, whereas some others are still being explored. The concept of the expanding universe was first made by Edwin Hubble in the 1920s. Yet some thirteen centuries before this, it was clearly mentioned in the Holy Qur’an:
And the heavens We did create with Our power and skill, and verily We are the expanders. - (Qur’an, 51:47).
In many verses of the Holy Qur’an, we are asked to contemplate on creation by traveling through the earth. A best example of acquisition of knowledge and insight into the mysteries of creation is illustrated by the journeys of the British biologist, Charles Darwin. He studied vast numbers of creatures, the pattern of life and rocks in many countries to develop his theory of biological evolution. He first began to formulate his theory when he visited the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. A deep study into the nature by traveling through the world would convince any one about the grand design of every thing that God did create, and bring back home the truth about the conviction that God will, likewise, produce a latter creation.
Evolution may be cosmological, biological, cultural, and many more. It is the process of creation of the universe and its contents by natural selection. God is not part of the natural order, but the ultimate creator of nature and of the scientific laws. The Holy Scripture encourages mankind to investigate matters of the universe and earth to find out signs and evidences to confirm the existence of creator God. Evolution does not exclude existence of creator God. Nature is regulated by scientific laws and ultimate creator God. Atheists believe they will be extinct and dismissed in an evolutionary process and do not believe in the existence of soul and God.
The scientific study relating to the soul has involved investigating the soul as an object of human belief, or as a concept that shapes cognition and an understanding of the world, rather than as an entity in and of itself. The phenotypic, genotypic, behavioral and emotional characteristics or states of a human can be identified as bearing physio-chemical cause. Neurochemicals (most famously endorphins) are responsible for what can be described as feelings of well being, love and pain. Similarly, memory can be seen as an atomic reconstruction of an image in the brain at the expense of chemical energy intaken by food. Wilson suggested that biologists need to investigate how human genes predispose people to believe in a soul.
All information about our traits and biological activities are located in the DNA in the form of codes or signals. The latest study on the living cell and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) suggests us existence of an invisible soul that the blueprint of life or the sequence of base pairs in DNA is an eternal command from God which is different for different individuals and different species of living organisms. This eternal command from God for sequence of base pairing in DNA (blueprint of life) of living organisms was described in the Holy Scriptures as eternal soul. Without a command for design of base pairs in DNA, life can not originate from inorganic matters. This eternal command from God is independent of matters and will persist with its all attributes after damage of the body on the Earth.
According to the Holy Qur’an the Soul, blueprint of life – the sequence of base pairs in DNA, is a command from God: “They put questions to you concerning the spirit. Say the spirit is at my Lord’s command. ..and of knowledge only a meager part has been imparted to you.”- (Al-Qur’an, 17:85).
The Christian view of the soul is based upon the teaching of both the Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament contains the statements “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it”- (Ecclesiastes 12:7) and “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”- (Genesis 2:7).
God is the creator and prime mover of all the atoms in the universe. He composed human body from water and soil through biological evolution that contains about 100 trillions cells and created a will force in it to choose the ways of hell and paradise. Atheists do not choose the way of paradise. They have discovered a portion of the universe and the evolutionary mechanism of creation, but can not identify the existence of Soul and God. In scientific point of view, the “Big Bang Theory” is still a proposed hypothesis which contains only about 125 billion (1.25x1011) galaxies and rest of the universe is unknown to those scientists who proposed this theory. If the Soul and creator God exist, hell and paradise are discovered in the universe; mankind will be deprived from the reward of paradise and punished in the hell fire. Atheists then can not save themselves from the punishment of hell fire. The existence of hells in the universe has already been discovered by the astronomers.
Astronomers explore the universe and find out billions of stars and galaxies in the outer space, which were hidden and unknown to mankind in the ancient periods. The Greek philosopher Democritus (450-370 B.C.) proposed that the bright band in the night sky known as Milky Way might consist of distant stars. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), however, believed the Milky Way to be caused by the ignition of the fiery exhalation of some stars which are large numerous and close together, and that the ignition takes place in the upper part of the atmosphere. The Arabian astronomer, Alhazen (965-1037 A.D.) refuted this by making the first attempt at observing and measuring the Milky Way’s parallax, and he does determined that because the Milky Way had no parallax, it is very remote from the earth and did not belong to the atmosphere. The Persian astronomer Abu Rayhan al-Biruni (973-1048 A.D.), proposed the Milky Way galaxy to be a collection of countless nebulous stars. Actual proof of the Milky Way consisting of many stars came in 1610 when Galileo Galilei used a telescope to study the Milky Way and discovered that it is composed of a huge number of faint stars.
The modern observational study of the universe may be said to date from 1924, when U.S. astronomer Edwin Hubble demonstrated that great spiral nebula in Andromeda lies out side our Milky Way Galaxy, and in fact itself a galaxy similar to our own. Beginning in the 1990s, the Hubble Space Telescope yielded improved observation of the galaxies. The Hubble Deep Field, an extremely long exposure of a relatively empty part of the sky, provided evidence that there are about 125 billion (1.25x1011) galaxies in the universe.
The galaxy is a unit in the structure of the universe. Much as a star is a unit in the structure of galaxy. Most galaxies are 1000 to 100,000 parsecs in diameter and are usually separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs or mega parsecs. One parsec is equal to 3.26 light years. The nearest star to the Earth, apart from the Sun, is Proxima Centauri, which is 39.9 trillion (1012) kilometers, or 4.2 light-years away. Light from Proxima Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the Earth.
In the 16th century, Italian astronomer Giordano Bruno proposed that the stars were actually other suns, and may have other planets, possibly even Earth-like, in orbit around them. In 1838, German astronomer Friedrich Bessel measured the parallax of 61 Cygni star as 0.314 arc seconds, which given the diameter of the earth’s orbit indicated that the star was about 9.8 light years away that had proved the stars to be far remote from the earth’s atmosphere and all were suns.
In the 20th century with the advent of improved technology, it was proven that other stars were similar to our own sun, and the sun was found to be part of a galaxy made up of more than 10 billion stars. It is now known that the universe contains a large, perhaps infinite number of galaxies that spread through space at least as far as the most powerful telescope can penetrate.
In the ancient periods, thousands of prophets all over the world told their nations about the existence of hell and paradise in the universe. The hell is the world of fire made for the punishment of unbelievers and the paradise is a biological world, where believers will enjoy a happier life for ever. The paradise is situated in the far distant space near-by the holy throne of God, and the hell, in the outer space nearer to the earth. The Holy Qur’an says– For the righteous are Gardens, in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath where they shall dwell for ever. - (3:15).
It had been stated in the holy scriptures of Islam that the sun was a hell and all the hells were situated in the outer space outside the earth’s atmosphere. Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said, “You pray at noon until it gets cooler. Because fire of hell is the source of intense heat at noon.” Prophet Mohammed (SAW) visited the hell and paradise during his famous night journey to the outer space and meeting with Almighty God. - (Al- Bukhari, Al-Muslim).
In the Holy Scriptures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it had been stated that at the day of final judgment the earth would be changed to a large field known as the field of resurrection, and it would be surrounded by the hells. A very long bridge will be built over the hells extending from the earth to the paradise. After the judgment believers will pass over the bridge easily and safely. The unbelievers will fall in to the hells.
The Jewish Rabbis teach that there is an upper and a lower paradise containing apartments for the residence and reward of righteous. They believe that there is an upper and a lower hell. In the hell there are seven divisions, in each division six thousand house and in each house six thousand chests, and in each chest six thousand barrels of gall. Each of the division of the hell to be as depth as one can walk in three hundred years. Christian description of hell follows the Jewish popular tradition.
The Hindus and Buddhists also believe in the existence of Hell and Paradise. They compare the Hell to a river of fire — Vaitarani, which will have to pass to reach the gardens of paradise.
According to religious cosmology, the earth is surrounded by the hells. So the sun and sun like billions of stars in the galaxies, the quasars, pulsars, and black holes which are situated around the earth in the distant space in the region of Hell, all are hells.
Astronomers confirm the message of the prophets that the hell is awaiting in the outer space for the punishment of unbelievers. It is impossible to any human body—man or woman, to take the risk of penalty in the fire of hell forever that has been discovered by the astronomers in the space today. So the discovery of Hell in the outer space, that also suggests the existence of Paradise in the more distant space, according to the Newtonian Laws of Motion and Gravitation will activate mankind for a normal life style and behavior to enter into the eternal paradise and refrain from all sorts of abnormal activities those are punishable by hell fire, so that the fire of hell hanging over the earth like the Sword of Damocles and acting as a preventive and social medicine (alternative vaccine) will eradicate and sterilize the world off evil spirit, the Super Natural Virus, which is responsible for all kinds of physical, mental, social, political, cultural, economical, environmental and spiritual disorders, national, international and inter-religious conflicts and wars that might restore health, peace and discipline all over the world.
This natural therapy, which has been formulated for exploration of the cosmos by the combined efforts of prophets and astronomers, is known today “Cosmic Therapy”. In ancient India, this natural therapy was known as “Amrita”, which was formulated by Bhagaban Shib, exploring the oceans with the help of deities and demons. This natural therapy can be used for the prevention and management of all kinds of diseases of the human body and social disorders. The concept of a ‘universal vaccine’ -Zauberkugel that could eradicate all the disease agents without harm to the host now becomes a reality with the discovery of this ‘natural therapy’.
Today the Jews or Christians do not recognize any religion except their own. The Hindus and Buddhists believe that all the religions are false except their own. The Muslims do not believe in any religion except Islam. This conflict in religions leads mankind to atheism and doubt in religious beliefs that different religions give differing accounts as to what God is and what God wants; since all the contradictory accounts cannot be correct, many if not all religions must be incorrect. Professor Toynbee in his famous book “An Historian Approach to Religions” refuting this fundamental basis of atheism and doubt in religions said,
“The religions are agreed with one another in holding that God has a personal as well as an impersonal aspect. For Buddhism this personal aspect of super human presence manifested in the Bodhisattvas, is plural for Hinduism, and Christianity the personal of Absolute Reality is triune, for Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Islam it is singular. These differences are momentous, all the same, they perhaps not so significance as the point of agreement. Their common tenet that Absolute Reality or God has a personal aspect governs not only their theory but their aim.”
All the divine religions teach us continued existence of the soul and a transformed physical existence after death. There will be a day of judgment when all humans will be divided between the eternal destinations of Hell and Paradise. The variations which are now observed in the religions, these are actually for different languages, cultures and civilizations when the prophets were appeared and Holy Scriptures were revealed, and due to inadequate preservations which causes many of the original documents to be perished.
The Qur’an not only recognizes its preceding religions but unambiguously witnesses that the founders of these religions were prophets of God. The Holy Qur’an regards their prophethood as part of Islamic faith and orders to honour them like prophet Mohammad, as it has been stated in the following verses of the Holy Qur’an -
“Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord; we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him (Allah) do we submit.” - (3: 83).
“There is no doubt that I had sent my messengers to all the communities of mankind all over the world (who were taught) so that they worship only one Lord and are save from ingratitude and sins.”- (16: 36).
According to the Holy Qur’an, there is only one primordial religion which has existed from the beginning of mankind and this has moreover been revealed at regular intervals through prophets. The differences among the religions are due not so much as to difference in revelation as to specific historical factors and in particular, to the peoples distortion of their prophets fundamentally identical teachings. The Holy Qur’an says-
“The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - The which we have sent by inspiration to thee and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, Jesus; Namely, that ye should remain stead fast in religion, and make no divisions therein........And they became divided only after knowledge reached them,—through selfish envy as between themselves.” - (32: 13-14).
“All of you (prophets) basically belong to one class and I am your Lord. So fear me. But latter on it is the people who were divided in their opinions and have split up religion (according to their choice).”- (22: 52-53).
“We sent not an apostle except to teach in the language his own people, in order to make things clear to them.”- (14: 4).
“Say: If the whole of mankind and jinn were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.”- (17: 88).
“We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this (Qur’an) is truth. Is it not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?”- (41:53).
Dr. Rashad Khalifa discovered a mathematical calculation (Rule of 19) investigating the Arabic verses of the Holy Qur’an, which he presented in his famous book, “The Perpetual Miracle of Muhammad”. His study proved that the Holy Qur’an is a divine and supernatural book, revealed from Almighty God to the prophet Mohammed, which is impossible to the whole of mankind and jinn to produce the like of this Qur’an, even if they backed up each other with help and support. Dr. Maurice Bucaille in his famous book, “The Bible, the Qur’an and Science”, studying the Holy Qur’an in comparison to the Bible and science declares that there is no single statement in the Holy Qur’an that contradicts findings of the modern science.
There are many cosmological verses in the Holy Qur’an, which have been interpreted as foreshadowing the expansion of the universe and Big Bang theory. At the time the Holy Qur’an was revealed, the human understanding of the nature of the cosmos and the movement of the celestial bodies was extremely primitive and obscure. This is no longer the case, as our knowledge of the universe has considerably advanced and expanded by the present age. Some of the theories relating to the creation of the universe have been verified as facts, whereas some others are still being explored. The concept of the expanding universe was first made by Edwin Hubble in the 1920s. Yet some thirteen centuries before this, it was clearly mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. And the heavens We did create with Our Hands, and We do cause it to expand. - (Qur’an, 51:48).
God is the creator and prime mover of all the atoms in the universe. He produced a self-replicating molecule around 4 billion years ago through a series of chemical reaction. A living cell is differentiated into multicellular organisms - plants and animals, through genetic mutations and adaptations. The human body also originated from this single cell through biological evolution that contains about 100 trillions cells. Codes for reproduction and multiplication are contained in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) located in cell nucleus. A single cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes made of a long DNA in coiled and folded form. Total DNA of a cell is made of six billion base pairs, which is about 1.5-2.0 m long in uncoiled straight form. There are two types of nucleic acid: RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Nucleotide is the building block of nucleic acid and composed of ribose sugar, nitrogen base and phosphate. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose. Nitrogen bases are of two types: purine bases (adenine, guanine) and pyramidine bases (cytocine, uracil and thymine). DNA consists of two chains of nucleotides where they twisted around each other in a double helix like a twisted ladder. The steps in the ladder are made up from the joining of various pairs of four nitrogen bases, namely, adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). Each step of the ladder is always formed by pairing molecules like AT or TA, GC or CG. The order of AT, CG, GC, and TA varies from gene to gene ensuring hereditary traits being passed over to the offspring. The steps of the DNA molecules are the same in all living things. The differences among all living things results from the way the steps are arranged, as well as from the ratio of the number of AT (or TA) to GC (or CG). This order and ratio makes all the differences between a flea and a dog, a rose and cactus, a man and a monkey. The complex molecular structure of DNA puts an overwhelming problem for its beginning by chance. For example, the DNA of virus contains about two hundred thousand steps and a DNA molecule within a human chromosome is made of at least six billion steps or base pairs. If a step is misplaced a mutation occurs. Thus from various combinations of the steps only one combination has been chosen for human being.
Darwin's theory of biological evolution suggests that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. Scientific evidence for evolution comes from many aspects of biology and includes comparative anatomy and physiology, homologous and vestigial structures, fossils, and genetic mutations. The implication that all life on Earth has a common ancestor has met with objections from some religious groups who believe even today that the different types of life are due to special creation. Their objections are in contrast to the level of support for the theory of evolution by more than 99 percent of those within the scientific community today. But those religious groups agree with the scientists that the plants and animals on the earth including humans were originated from inorganic matters or mixture of soil and water by a mechanism that had not been described in the Holy Scriptures. The mechanism of creation of life from inorganic matters is the biological evolution that has been discovered by the scientists today. So the special creation theory has been improved by the theory of biological evolution that does not contradict the Holy Scriptures.
The galaxy is a unit in the structure of the universe. Much as a star is a unit in the structure of galaxy. Most galaxies are 1000 to 100,000 parsecs in diameter and are usually separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs or mega parsecs. One parsec is equal to 3.26 light years. The majority of galaxies are organized into a hierarchy of associations called clusters, which in turn can form larger groups called super clusters. These larger structures are generally arranged into sheets and filaments, which surround immense voids in the universe. 2009 was declared by the UN to be the international year of astronomy 2009. The focus was on enhancing the public’s engagement with and understanding of astronomy. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) launched the year under the theme ‘The Universe, Yours to Discover’.
In the Holy Scriptures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it had been stated that at the day of final judgment the earth would be changed to a large field known as the field of resurrection, and it would be surrounded by the hells.

They compare the Hell to a river of fire — Vaitarani, which will have to pass to reach the gardens of paradise.
THE HELL OBSERVATION EFFECT God is the king and administrator of the universe. He made the hell and paradise to punish unbelievers and reward righteous. All the divine religions teach us continued existence of the soul and a transformed physical existence after death. There will be a day of judgment when all humans will be divided between the eternal destinations of Hell and Paradise. Astronomers confirm the message of the prophets that the hell is awaiting in the outer space for the punishment of unbelievers.
