The Quran, Islam And The Laws Of Thermodynamics

There is no other book that explains the beginning, the creation and the end of the world. The Quran is one such book that provides a detail on all these aspects. Additionally, even if you read all the books and gather data from all sorts of scientific books, there is none that explains the concepts of science as well as Quran does.

Reading the Quran will allow you to understand Quran and find the evidence regarding all scientific discoveries. In the Quran, Allah tells mankind about the end of the world. However, previously, many people did not believe that the world could ever end. This is because man has bounded rationality and he cannot think beyond the realms of this world. Nor can man imagine that this world is just a small speck in the entire universe.

‘When the Earth is shaken to her (utmost) convulsion, And the Earth throws up her burdens (from within), And man cries (distressed): `What is the matter with her?’ On that Day will she declare her tidings: For that thy Lord will have given it inspiration. On that Day will men proceed in companies sorted out, to be shown the Deeds that they (had done). Then shall anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall see it.’ Quran: 99:1-8

However, the end of the world can be explained by scientific reasoning as well. According to the laws of science, the tea in a cup gets cold after some time. This is called entropy. Based on the entropy, one can say the sun’s energy flows to the cold earth regularly and the process is irreversible.

Therefore, after some time, the process stops and the heat reaches a constant state and the universe will move to a static state called thermodynamic balance. This shows that the universe had a beginning and will definitely have a specific end.

Conclusion

Therefore, unless we learn the Quran and understand all its teachings, we cannot understand how Allah has related and taught human beings about everything.
