THE HOLY QURAN ON THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE
Sura (Chapter) of Az-Zariyaat of the Holy Qur'an also seems to allude to one of the most imposing discoveries of modern science, the expansion of the Universe.
The expansion of the universe was first suggested by the general theory of relativity and is supported by the calculations of astrophysics. The regular movement of the galactic light towards the red section of the spectrum is explained by the distancing of one galaxy from another. Thus, the size of the universe appears to be progressively increasing.
