Abstract
“And the heaven We have constructed with might, and verily, We are steadily
expanding it.” (The Quran 51:47)
This expansion of the Heaven or the universe was incomprehensible to people
when the verse explained above was revealed to Muhammad more than 14
hundred years ago. It was only hundreds of years later that the facts about the
expansion of the universe were discovered by scientists. In 1929, Edwin Hubble
plotted redshift against relative distance and found that the redshift of distant
galaxies increased as a linear function of their distance. The only explanation for
this observation is that the universe was expanding.
This fact has been even more highlighted by modern state-of-the-art technology
after the invention of ESO’s Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), which
released 3D images of the deep, expanding universe.
