The concept of the Big Bang, which describes the universe’s creation from a singular point, was not understood by scientists until the 20th century. However, the Quran describes this event in a way that remarkably aligns with modern scientific understanding, making it a profound example of the Quran's miraculous knowledge.

In the Quran, we find a reference to the heavens and the Earth being "meshed together" before being separated, which aligns with the concept of the Big Bang—a singularity in which all matter was compressed before it began to expand. The verse in Quran 21:30 states:

The word "ratiq" (رتق) refers to something tightly sealed or compact, and the word "fataq" (فتق) refers to splitting or tearing apart, often used to describe a forceful separation. This description resonates with the scientific explanation of the Big Bang, where the universe began from a dense, compact state and then exploded, expanding rapidly. The use of terms like “ripped apart” (fataknahuma) emphasizes the violent expansion that matches the rapid inflationary phase of the early universe. Whilst these verses might not necessarily reference the scientific findings mentioned here, they showcase how, even the most hard to imagine realities explained by the Quran, can be shown to be permissible with modern scientific discoveries.
