As-salamu alaykum waramotullah webarakatul

The universe encompasses everything in existence, from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy; since forming some 13.7 billion years ago in the Big Bang, it has been expanding and may be infinite in its scope. The part of the universe of which we have knowledge is called the observable universe, the region around Earth from which light has had time to reach us.

One famous analogy to explain the expanding universe is imagining the universe like a loaf of raisin bread dough. As the bread rises and expands, the raisins move farther away from each other, but they are still stuck in the dough. In the case of the universe, there may be raisins out there that we can’t see any more because they have moved away so fast that their light has never reached Earth. Fortunately, gravity is in control of things at the local level and keeps our raisins together.

Who Figured This Out?

The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble’s Law. The Hubble Space Telescope was named after him, and the single number that describes the rate of the cosmic expansion, relating the apparent recession velocities of external galaxies to their distance, is called the Hubble Constant.

How true is this? BECAUSE THIS HAD BEEN TALKED ABOUT IN THE QURAN MANY YEARS BEFORE NOW

Allah says in Quran:
"And it is We who have built the Universe with (Our creative) power and keep expanding it." (Quran 51:47)
In this Ayah, Allah refers to the expansion of the universe. According to this ayah, the universe has not been the same since its existence; it continues and will continue on changing. This fact was proved by science a hundred years ago when the astronomers found out that the universe does not remain constant, rather it is expanding with the passage of time, thus proving the claim of Quran.

I bear witness that there is no other God but God (THE creator of the universe and everything in it) and Mohammed (Salalahu alayhi wasalam) is his messanger

Please can you do me a favor

Geeeeararia!!!!!

Quran 51:47. "As for the heaven, We have built it with (Our) Mighty power, and verily We are Makers of the vast extent." Why do the verses differ?

Should be posted in the Islam section.
