BERBEZA ANTARA ORANG YANG MENGAMBIL DALIL DENGAN ALLAH S.W.T DENGAN ORANG YANG MENGAMBIL DALIL ATAS-NYA. ORANG YANG MENGAMBIL DALIL DENGAN ALLAH S.W.T ITULAH YANG MENGENAL HAQ DAN MELETAKKANNYA PADA TEMPATNYA DAN MENETAPKAN TERJADINYA SESUATU DARI ASAL MULANYA. MENGAMBIL DALIL ATAS ALLAH S.W.T ADALAH KERANA TIDAK SAMPAI KEPADA-NYA. MAKA BILAKAH ALLAH S.W.T ITU GHAIB SEHINGGA MEMERLUKAN DALIL UNTUK MENYATAKAN-NYA DAN BILAKAN ALLAH S.W.T ITU JAUH SEHINGGA MEMERLUKAN ALAM UNTUK SAMPAI KEPADA-NYA.
Nur Ilahi yang menyinari hati memperlihatkan Allah s.w.t terlebih dahulu sebelum yang selain-Nya kelihatan. Akal pula melihat anasir alam dan kejadian-kejadian yang berlaku terlebih dahulu sebelum sampai kepada Tuhan yang mengatur segala urusan. Orang-orang hati melihat Wujud Allah s.w.t mengwujudkan alam dan apa yang berlaku di dalamnya dan orang-orang akal pula melihat wujud alam menjadi dalil kepada Wujud Allah s.w.t.
Orang yang sampai kepada Allah s.w.t melihat bahawa Wujud Allah s.w.t adalah Wujud Hakiki dan Wujud Allah s.w.t menerangi wujud makhluk sehingga makhluk menjadi nyata. Orang yang pada peringkat mencari pula melihat Allah s.w.t itu ghaib dan jauh, dan jalan untuk mengenal Allah s.w.t adalah dengan cara mengenal ciptaan-Nya. Wujud makhluk menjadi bukti kepadanya tentang Wujud Allah s.w.t, kerana makhluk tidak terjadi dengan sendirinya.
Perbincangan Hikmat 8 menyentuh golongan mencari dan golongan yang dicari. Orang yang mencari menempuh jalan yang sukar-sukar sebelum bertemu dengan yang dicarinya. Contoh terbaik orang yang mencari ialah Salman al-Farisi yang mendapat jolokan Pencari Kebenaran. Beliau r.a berasal dari Isfahan. Bapanya seorang kenamaan yang kaya-raya dan kuat berpegang kuat pada agama Majusi. Salman bertugas menjaga api dan bertanggungjawab mempastikan api itu tidak padam. Satu hari beliau lalu berhampiran gereja Nasrani. Beliau tertarik melihat cara orang Nasrani bersembahyang. Setelah bertukar-tukar fikiran dengan mereka dan mempelajari tentang agama Nasrani beliau berpendapat agama Nasrani lebih benar daripada agama Majusi, lalu beliau memeluk agama Nasrani Beliau kemudiannya pergi ke Syria untuk mendalami pengajiannya tentang agama Nasrani. Beliau tinggal dengan seorang pendeta dan beliau menjadi pelayan kepada pendeta tersebut sambil beliau belajar Setelah pendeta itu meninggal dunia Salman pergi ke Mosul, untuk memenuhi kehendak wasiat pendeta tersebut. Di sana beliau tinggal dan berkhidmat kepada seorang pendeta juga. Apabila hampir ajalnya pendeta kedua ini mewasiatkan kepada Salman supaya pergi ke Nasibin dan berkhidmat kepada seorang salih yang tinggal di sana. Salman kemudiannya berpindah ke Nasibin. Pendeta di Nasibin kemudiannya mewasiatkan kepada Salman agar beliau pergi ke Amuria dan berkhidmat kepada seorang salih di sana. Salman berpindah pula ke Amuria. Ketika pendeta di Amuria itu hampir menemui ajalnya beliau memberi amanat kepada Salman bahawa sudah hampir masanya kebangkitan seorang nabi yang mengikuti agama Nabi Ibrahim a.s secara murni. Nabi yang baharu muncul itu nanti akan berhijrah ke satu tempat yang banyak ditumbuhi pokok kurma dan terletak di antara dua bidang tanah berbatu-batu hitam. Tanda-tanda yang jelas tentang kenabiannya ialah dia tidak mahu makan sedekah tetapi menerima hadiah. Di bahunya ada cap kenabian yang bila dilihatnya segera dikenali akan kenabiannya. Setelah pendeta yang memberi amanat itu meninggal dunia berangkatlah Salman mengikuti rombongan Arab dengan menyerahkan kepada mereka lembu-lembu dan kambing-kambingnya. Sampai di Wadi Qura, Salman dianiayai dan dijual kepada orang Yahudi. Kemudian, Salman dijual kepada orang Yahudi yang lain. Tuannya yang baharu itu membawanya ke Yasrib. Sebaik sahaja Salman melihat negeri itu yakinlah dia bahawa itulah negeri yang diceritakan oleh pendeta yang menjaganya dahulu. Apabila Rasulullah s.a.w berhijrah ke Yasrib, Salman datang menemui baginda s.a.w di Quba dan memberikan makanan sebagai sedekah kepada baginda s.a.w dan sahabat baginda s.a.w. Rasulullah s.a.w menyuruh mereka makan tetapi baginda s.a.w tidak menjamah makanan tersebut. Keesokan harinya Salman datang lagi membawa makanan sebagai hadiah. Rasulullah s.a.w makan bersama-sama sahabat baginda s.a.w. Semasa Rasulullah s.a.w berada di Baqi’, Salman pergi lagi menemui baginda s.a.w. Rasulullah s.a.w ketika itu memakai dua helai kain lebar, satu sebagai sarung dan satu lagi sebagai baju. Salman menjenguk dan mengintai untuk melihat belakang baginda s.a.w. Rasulullah s.a.w mengerti akan maksud Salman lalu baginda s.a.w menyingkap kain burdah dari leher baginda s.a.w hingga kelihatanlah cap kenabian yang dicari oleh Salman. Melihatnya Salman terus menangis dan menciumnya. Akhirnya beliau temui kebenaran yang beliau telah cari di merata-rata tempat.
Kisah Salman memberi gambaran betapa sukarnya jalan yang ditempuhi oleh orang yang mencari Allah s.w.t. Di samping mengharungi kehidupan yang sukar mereka juga menuntut ilmu, berguru ke sana ke mari, mencari dalil-dalil dan pembuktian bagi menambahkan pengetahuan tentang Tuhan. Mereka melihat alam dan kejadian di dalam alam sebagai bukti yang menunjukkan Wujud Allah s.w.t, dan mereka mengkaji alam untuk memahami tentang keesaan Allah s.w.t. Setelah mereka sampai kepada Allah s.w.t mereka melepaskan dalil-dalil lalu berpegang kepada makrifat yang diperolehi.
Golongan yang dicari menempuh jalan yang berbeza. Contoh orang yang dicari ialah Saidina Umar al-Khattab r.a. Pada awal perkembangan Islam di Makkah umat Islam menghadapi tentangan yang hebat dari puak Quraisy. Rasulullah s.a.w telah berdoa agar Islam diperkuatkan dengan salah satu Umar, iaitu Umar bin Hisyam (Abu Jahal) atau Umar al-Khattab. Umar al-Khattab ketika itu sangat keras menentang dan menyeksa golongan Islam, terutamanya yang lemah. Rasa bencinya terhadap agama baharu yang merombak adat dan kepercayaan datuk neneknya itu meluap-luap di hatinya. Apabila rasa kebencian itu memuncak beliau mengambil keputusan mahu membunuh Rasulullah s.a.w. Umar mencabut pedangnya sambil menuju ke tempat di mana Rasulullah s.a.w berada. Di tengah jalan Umar diberitahu bahawa adiknya sendiri telah pun memeluk Islam. Dia memikirkan bahawa lebih baik jika dia menguruskan masalah dalamannya dahulu sebelum membunuh Rasulullah s.a.w. Mendengar berita itu dia pun membelok ke rumah adiknya. Keadaannya seperti singa bengis. Ditendangnya pintu rumah adiknya. Pada ketika itu adiknya sedang memegang lembaran yang ditulis dengan ayat al-Quran. Umar memukul adiknya dan merampas lembaran tersebut. Umar adalah seorang cendekiawan yang tahu membaca, dan arif tentang sastera puisi. Sebaik sahaja Umar membaca wahyu Allah s.w.t, tubuhnya menggeletar dan keluarlah ucapan dari mulutnya,” Ini bukan syair yang ditulis oleh penyair yang handal. Ini bukan karya manusia. Tidak ada yang dapat menciptakannya kecuali Tuhan sendiri”. Lalu Umar al-Khattab pergi menghadap Rasulullah s.a.w dan menyatakan keislamannya.
Umar al-Khattab membaca ayat al-Quran, Kalam Allah s.w.t dan serta-merta dia melihat kebenarannya. Umar tidak memerlukan kepada alam dan makhluk sekaliannya sebagai dalil dan bukti. Kebenaran itu sendiri menjadi dalil baginya. Kalam Allah s.w.t sendiri yang menyampaikan Umar kepada-Nya. Allah s.w.t yang menerangi hati Umar dengan makrifat-Nya. Makrifatullah yang menerangi makrifat alam sehingga alam itu dikenali melalui sumber iaitu Allah s.w.t sendiri. Orang yang mencari menyusur dari ranting ke dahan, turun ke batang lalu pergi kepada umbi sebelum menemui benih yang melahirkan pokoknya. Orang yang telah dibawa kepada Tuhan melihat dari asal mulanya, melihat benih yang darinya muncul pokok yang cukup lengkap.
Perbezaan arah memandang menyebabkan terjadi perbezaan daya nilai dan daya rasa. Orang akal lebih cenderung kepada fahaman falsafah yang berdiri di atas kemanusiaan sejagat iaitu fitrah manusia. Keberkesanan hukum sebab-akibat membentuk formula-formula yang seterusnya melahirkan hukum logik yang dipegang oleh akal. Sukar bagi akal untuk melihat bahawa Allah s.w.t yang meletakkan dan menetapkan keberkesanan hukum sebab-akibat itu. Orang akal memerlukan masa untuk berfikir dan menimbang sehingga mereka melihat dan mengakui kerapian serta kesempurnaan hukum yang mereka pegang itu. Setelah sampai kepada pengakuan yang demikian baharulah mereka beralih memerhatikan apa yang datang dari Tuhan.
Orang hati pula terus menyaksikan ketuhanan pada apa yang disaksikan. Mereka melihat perjalanan sebab dan akibat sebagai tadbir Allah s.w.t. Mereka juga mengambil sebab dalam melakukan sesuatu tetapi ketika mengambil sebab itu hati memandang kepada Allah s.w.t, meletakkan pergantungan kepada-Nya yang mentadbir sebab musabab itu, bukan bersandar kepada sebab semata-mata. Jika sebab gagal menghasilkan akibat menurut hukum logik, orang hati melihat kekuasaan Allah s.w.t mengatasi segala sebab. Orang akal yang berhadapan dengan keadaan yang demikian sering diganggu oleh kekeliruan dan mereka mencari formula baharu untuk mengembangkan logik.
Walaupun terdapat perbezaan cara memandang tetapi tidak seharusnya berlaku berselisihan di antara dua golongan tersebut. Satu golongan harus menghormati daya nilai dan daya rasa golongan yang satu lagi. Walau bagaimana pun orang akal harus sedar bahawa mereka sedang bergerak ke arah daerah orang hati kerana iman, ikhlas, berserah diri, takwa dan lain-lain nilai baik dalam agama adalah nilai hati yang mengeluarkan niat.

MEMAHAMI TAUHID (6) : ALLAH BERSIFAT WUJUD ERTINYA ADA
Allah Bersifat WUjud, ertinya Ada, mustahil Allah SWT tidak ada. Alam semesta raya ini dan segenap isinya sudah cukup sebagai bukti keberadaan Allah SWT. Keberadaan alam semesta raya ini beserta segenap isinya tidak mungkin secara akal tercipta dengan sendirinya. Pembuktian dari dalil-dalil yang ada terhadap suatu perbuatan atas sesuatu yang diciptakan sekaligus merupakan jejak yang meninggalkan bekas. Sesungguhnya pada jejak yang tidak membekas atau meninggalkan bekas adalah suatu kemustahilan. Adanya jejak-jejak manusia yang tertinggal merupakan pembuktian adanya orang yang berlalu-lalang.
Sehingga dengan keindahan dan keteraturan alam yang bergerak dan beredar sesuai dengan jalurnya masing-masing dan tidak berbenturan antara satu dengan lainnya, sudah cukup bagi orang yang berakal sebagai bukti sifat keindahan dan ketelitian pencipta keindahan dan keteraturan tersebut, sehingga memperdebatkan keberadaan Allah sebagai Tuhan SWT pencipta seluruh alam ini merupakan suatu hal yang sudah bukan pada tempatnya lagi terutama pada era kemajuan tekhnologi dan ilmu pengetahuan yang berkembang sangat pesat saat ini.
Pada kajian sebelumnya telah disampaikan bahwa kata “ Allah “ adalah nama Zat yang kepada-Nya tertuju sekalian sembah dalam artian tidak ada tuhan selain Allah SWT yang berhak untuk disembah. Sesembahan manusia selain dari pada Allah SWT adalah palsu karena selain Allah SWT tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa. Hanya Allah SWT yang berkehendak dan menghendaki, dengan hanya mengatakan “ jadi “ ( Kun ) maka jadilah sesuatu itu.
Dalam Kajian Hakikat Tauhid kali ini kita akan membahas kajian secara lebih terang tentang hakikat keberadaan Allah SWT dalam ritual penyembahan makhluk terhadap Sang Khalik, baik dalam ritual ibadah wajib yang sudah ditetapkan oleh agama atau pun dalam ritual ibadah sunah sebagai bukti kecintaan dan ketaatan seorang hamba terhadap penciptanya.
Islam mengajarkan kepada umatnya bahwa dalam ritual penyembahan terhadap Allah SWT sebagai Tuhan berbeda dengan ritual penyembahan yang dilakukan oleh manusia dalam ritual penyembahan berhala atau patung dan benda-benda pada zaman jahiliyah sebelum Islam diturunkan.
Dalam ritual penyembahan berhala atau patung secara sederhana dapat digambarkan bahwa manusia dalam satu sisi dari suatu tempat tertentu menyembah dan atau memohon kepada berhala atau patung yang dipertuhankan yang juga berada pada suatu tempat tertentu. Ajaran Islam menyatakan bahwa hakikat dari ritual ini dengan sebutan ritual syirik karena ( salah satu sebabnya ) adanya proses penyetaraan antara makhluk dengan Tuhan. Penyetaraan itu sekurang-kurangnya terdapat pada “ tempat “ antara manusia sebagai penyembah dan Tuhan yang digambarkan melalui berhala atau patung yang disembah. Keduanya sama-sama menempati dan berada pada suatu tempat.
Sehingga apabila dalam hakikat ritual ibadah penyembahan kita terhadap Allah SWT memakrifati dan atau menyatakan dan atau menzahirkan dan atau memposisikan dan atau memahami bahwa Tuhan itu berada di hadapan kita sebagai tujuan dari proses penyembahan, maka ritual peribadatan itu akan sama saja dengan ritual ibadah syirik yang dilakukan kaum jahiliyah sebelum ajaran Islam diturunkan.
Apabila sujud kepada Allah SWT dalam ritual ibadah shalat ataupun dalam penyampaian doa dengan keyakinan bahwa Allah SWT berada di depan atau di hadapan kita termasuk memposisikan Allah SWT pada suatu tempat yang lebih tinggi dari kita seperti memahami dan meyakini bahwa Allah SWT itu berada di langit atau lain sebagainya, hukumnya adalah syirik karena menyamakan diri kita dengan Tuhan yaitu sama-sama mempunyai tempat dan sama-sama berada disuatu tempat pada saat itu.
Pemahaman hakikat keberadaan Tuhan dalam ajaran agama Islam sebagai agama tauhid terakhir yang bersendikan kepada Al-Quran dan Hadist memahami bahwa keberadaan Allah SWT sebagai Tuhan tidak bisa disetarakan dengan sesuatu pun jua telah dengan tegas menyatakan kosep pemahaman tersebut.
“ Tidak ada sesuatu pun yang setara dengan Dia “ ( QS : 112 : al-Ikhlas : Ayat : 04 ) “
Pengertian dan pemahaman bahwa Allah SWT bersifat Ujud yang berarti Ada dan mustahil Allah SWT itu Tidak Ada, adalah sifat dari Zat yang telah memperkenalkan dirinya dengan nama “ Allah “. Sebagai sifat.
Ujud atau Ada adalah sifat yang utama bagi Tuhan. Tanpa sifat Ujud ini, maka sifat-sifat yang lain pada Tuhan akan menjadi batal karenanya. Seluruh sifat yang dimiliki Allah SWT adalah sifat yang sempurna yang tidak dimiliki oleh selain Allah SWT, sehingga ketika kita menyatakan bahwa diri kita ada, maka ketika itu Allah SWT menjadi tidak ada dan ketika kita menyatakan bahwa Allah SWT itu ada, maka ketika itu diri kita menjadi tidak ada. Ketika hanya Allah SWT yang ada, maka yang berlaku hanyalah kehendak Allah SWT semata.
Itulah tauhid yang lurus lagi benar, yang barang siapa bersandar dan berpegang teguh kepadanya, insya Allah akan terbebas dan selamat dari dari tipu daya nafsu dunia dan syetan. Dunia ini hanyalah fatamorgana palsu dan penuh dengan tipuan yang menyesatkan. Beruntunglah orang-orang yang telah diberi hidayah yang ikhlas memurnikan aqidahnya dari kesyirikan
Demikian, semoga kajian yang singkat mengenai sifat Allah yang bernama Ujud ini bisa menambah wawasan dan bahan kajian dalam diskusi di majelis masing-masing.
Dan perlu diingat, jangan pernah mencoba mendiskusikan tentang Kajian Hakikat Tauhid tentang Zat dan Sifat Allah tanpa didampingi oleh sorang guru atau mursyid yang akan membantu meluruskan pemahaman yang timbul apabila iblis menyususupkan kedalam hati kita pemahaman-pemahaman yang akan menggiring hati menuju kesyirikan yang dosanya tidak akan pernah diampuni Allah. Terakhir, jangan lupa, mohon sampaikan salam dan penghormatan kami sekeluarga kepada para guru yang mulia dan mohon titipkan doa kepada Allah SWT semoga Rahmat dan Hidayah-Nya selalu menaungi kami dunia dan akhirat.

Mengimani Wujud Allah
MENGIMANI WUJUD ALLAH Iman Kepada Allah mengandung empat unsur : 1. Mengimani wujud (adanya) Allah. 2. Mengimani Rububiyyah Allah. 3. Mengimani Uluhiyyah Allah. 4. Mengimani Asma' dan sifat Allah. Berikut ini akan dijelaskan unsur pertama dari iman kepada Allah, yaitu mengimani wujud (adanya) Allah. Seorang mukmin harus meyakini benar bahwa Allah itu mawjud (ada) sekalipun ia tidak dapat melihat dan tidak dapat mendengarnya, karena sesuatu yang ada tidak mesti dapat dilihat dan didengar. Dalam kehidupan dunia, banyak yang kita yakini adanya padahal kita tidak dapat melihat dan tidak mendengarnya, seperti angin, arus listrik, magnit, dan sebagainya. Selain dilihat dan didengar, adanya sesuatu juga bisa diketahui dengan adanya pengaruh atau bekas sesuatu itu, contohnya nyalanya lampu sebagi pengaruh adanya arus listrik. Jadi nyalanya lampu itu merupakan bukti bahwa arus listrik itu ada. Begitu juga adanya Allah bisa diketahui dengan adanya bukti-bukti atau dalil-dalil. Paling tidak ada empat bukti (dalil) yang menunjukkan adanya Allah : bukti fitrah, akal, syara;, dan indera, berikut akan dijelaskan satu persatu. 1. Bukti Fitrah Bukti fitrah tentang wujud Allah adalah bahwa iman kepada sang Pencipta merupakan fitrah setiap makhluk, tanpa terlebih dahulu berpikir atau belajar. Tidak akan berpaling dari tuntutan fitrah ini, kecuali orang yang di dalam hatinya terdapat sesuatu yang dapat memalingkannya. Fitrah ini merupakan pembawaan manusia sejak lahir, sebab ketika manusia berada di alam rahim, ia mengakui Allah sebagi rabb (Tuhan)nya. Allah SWT berfirman : وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَآ ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَٰذَا غَٰفِلِينَ Dan (ingatlah), ketika Tuhanmu mengeluarkan keturunan anak-anak Adam dari sulbi mereka dan Allah mengambil kesaksian terhadap jiwa mereka (seraya berfirman): "Bukankah Aku ini Tuhanmu?" Mereka menjawab: "Betul (Engkau Tuhan kami), kami menjadi saksi". (Kami lakukan yang demikian itu) agar di hari kiamat kamu tidak mengatakan: "Sesungguhnya kami (bani Adam) adalah orang-orang yang lengah terhadap ini (keesaan Tuhan)", (QS. Al-A'raf : 172) Ayat ini sesuai denga sabda Rasulullah saw. : مَا مِنْ مَوْلُوْدٍ اِلَّا يُوْلَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ اَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ اَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ "Semua bayi yang dilahirkan dalam keadaan fitrah. Ibu bapaknyalah yang menjadikannya Yahudi, Nasrani atau Majusi” ( HR. Al Bukhari ) 2. Bukti Akal Bukti akal tentang wujud Allah adalah proses terjadinya semua makhluk, bahwa semua makhluk yang terdahulu maupun yang akan datang, pasti ada yang menciptakan. Tidak mungkin makhluk menciptakan dirinya sendiri, dan tidak mungkin pula tercipta secara kebetulan. Tidak mungkin wujud itu ada dengan sendirinya, karena segala sesuatu tidak akan dapat menciptakan dirinya sendiri. Sebelum wujudnya tampak, berarti tidak ada. Semua makhluk tidak mungkin tercipta secara kebetulan karena setiap yang diciptakan pasti membutuhkan pencipta. Adanya makhluk-makhluk itu di atas undang-undang yang indah, tersusun rapi, dan saling terkait dengan erat antara sebab musababnya dan antara alam semesta satu sama lainnya. Semua itu sama sekali menolak keberadaan seluruh makhluk secara kebetulan, karena setiap sesuatu yang ada secara kebetulan, pada awalnya pasti tidak teratur. Kalau makhluk tidak dapat menciptakan diri sendiri, dan tidak tercipta secara kebetulan, maka jelaslah, makhluk-makhluk itu ada yang menciptakan, yaitu Allah Rabb semesta alam. Allah SWT menyebutkan dalil aqli dan dalil qath`i dalam surat Ath-Thuur : أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ “Apakah mereka diciptakan tanpa sesuatu ataukah mereka yang menciptakan ( diri mereka sendiri )?” (QS : Ath-Thuur/52 : 35 ) Dari ayat di atas tampak bahwa makhluk tidak diciptakan tanpa pencipta, dan makhluk tidak menciptakan dirinya sendiri. Jadi jelaslah, yang menciptakan makhluk adalah Allah SWT. Ketika Jubair bin Muth`im mendengar dari Rasulullah yang tengah membaca surat Ath-Thuur dan sampai ke ayat ayat ini : أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ (35) أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ (36) أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ (37) “Apakah mereka diciptakan tanpa sesuatupun ,ataukah mereka yang menciptakan ( diri mereka sendiri )? Ataukah mereka telah menciptakan langit dan bumi itu ?. Sebenarnya mereka tidak meyakini ( apa yang mereka katakan ). Ataukah di sisi mereka ada perbendaharaan Robbmu atau mereka yang berkuasa?” (QS. Ath-Thuur/52 : 35-37 ), ia yang tatkala itu masih musyrik berkata , “hatiku hampir saja terbang. Itulah permulaan menetapnya keimanan dalam hatiku.”(HR.Al Bukhari) Dalam hal ini kami ingin memberikan satu contoh. Kalau ada seorang berkata kepada anda tentang istana yang dibangun, yang dikelilingi kebun-kebun, dialiri sungai-sungai, dialasi oleh hamparan karpet, dan dihiasi dengan berbagai hiasan pokok dan penyempurna, lalu orang itu mengatakan kepada anda bahwa istana dengan segala kesempurnaannya ini tercipta dengan sendirinya atau tercipta secara kebetulan tanpa pencipta, pasti anda tidak akan mempercayainya, dan menganggap perkataan itu dusta dan dungu. Kini kami bertanya kepada anda, masih mungkinkah alam semesta yang luas ini beserta apa-apa yang ada di dalamnya tercipta dengan sendirinya atau tercipta secara kebetulan?! 3. Bukti Syara' Bukti syara’ tentang wujud Allah SWT bahwa seluruh kitab langit berbicara tentang itu. Seluruh hukum yang mengandung kemaslahatan manusia yang dibawa kitab-kitab tersebut merupakan dalil bahwa kitab-kitab tersebut datang dari Rabb yang Maha Bijaksana dan Mengetahui segala kemaslahatan makhluk-Nya. Berita-berita alam semesta yang dapat disaksikan oleh realitas akan kebenarannya yang didatangkan kitab-kitab tersebut merupakan dalil atau bukti bahwa kitab-kitab itu datang dari Robb yang Maha Kuasa untuk mewujudkan apa yang diberitakan itu. 4. Bukti Indera Bukti inderawi tentang wujud Allah dapat dibagi menjadi dua : a. Kita dapat mendengar dan menyaksikan terkabulnya do’a orang-orang yang berdo’a serta pertolongan-Nya yang diberikan kepada orang-orang yang mendapat musibah . Hal ini menunjukkan secara pasti tentang wujud Allah SWT. Allah berfirman : وَنُوحًا إِذْ نَادَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ فَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ “ Dan (ingatlah kisah) Nuh, sebelum itu ketika ia berdo’a, dan kami memperkenankan do’anya, lalu kami selamatkan dia beserta keluarganya dari bencana yang besar.” (QS. Al- Anbiya/21 : 76) Firman Allah lagi : إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ “ (ingatlah), Ketika kamu memohon pertolongan kepada Rabbmu, lalu diperkenankan-Nya bagimu …” (QS. Al- Anfal/8 : 9) Dalam hadits, Anas bin Malik ra. berkata : ”Pernah seorang badui datang pada hari jum’at, pada waktu itu Nabi SAW tengah berkhotbah. Lelaki itu berkata : ”Hai Rasulullah harta benda kami sudah habis, seluruh warga sudah kelaparan, oleh karena itu mohonkanlah kepada Allah SWT untuk mengatasi kesulitan kami “. Rasulullah lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya dan berdo’a. Tiba-tiba awan mendung bertebaran bagaikan gunung-gunung. Rasulullah belum turun dari mimbar, hujan turun membasahi jenggotnya. Pada jum’at yang kedua, orang badui atau orang lain berdiri dan berkata: ”Hai Rasul Allah bangunan kami hancur dan harta bendapun tenggelam, do’akanlah akan kami ini (agar selamat) kepada Allah”. Rasulullah lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya, seraya berdo’a : “Ya Robbku, turunkanlah hujan di sekeliling kami dan jangan Engkau turunkan sebagai bencana bagi kami”. Akhirnya beliau tidak mengisyaratkan pada suatu tempat, kecuali menjadi terang (tanpa hujan).” (HR. Al-Bukhari)

creation or evolution..??
Quran Teaches Both
For the Muslim there is no need for separation between religion and science. It is understood from the Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, that there is both; "Creation" and "Evolution." And in both instances, it is only Allah who is "Able to do all things." In fact, it was the Muslim scientists, more than 1,000 years ago, who set the stage for the advancement of learning, technology and disciplines in science that we know today.
Allah has explained how He created everything in the universe and brought all life out of water. He created humans from earth (not monkeys) and there is no need to attempt fabrications of "links" to the animal world in Islam.
The Christian Bible says that Adam & Eve were both created here on Earth, less than 10,000 years ago. The Quran says that Adam & Eve were created in Heaven, and NOT on Earth. When they disobeyed God, He expelled them from Heaven, down to Earth.
Muslims believe that souls are assigned to humans 40 days after the human inception. The Quran says that angels retrieve human souls on two occasions. One occasion is when humans die. The other occasion is every time humans fall asleep. When humans wakeup, the angels release those souls back to them:
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that did not die, during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back, but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
[Noble Quran 39:42]
And Allah has Created every animal from water; of them are some creeping on their bellies; some walk on two legs; and some on four. Allah Creates what He wills: for sure Allah has Power over all things.
[Noble Quran 24:45]
The Quran has set a precedent 14 centuries before modern science, explaining in simple and direct terms about his "creation" of animals and their various functions and then assures us it is He who has the Power over everything. This statement includes the fact Allah can if He Wills, reshape and alter his creation as He Chooses. There is clear evidence within many species of alteration and changes within the species. However, there is no concrete evidence to support a cross over in development from one type to another, such as reptiles turning into birds or alligators turning into cows. The statements made in Quran are quite clear when Allah tells us of having brought forth other life forms and then destroying or replacing them with others. This again, does not imply evolution in the sense of one type becoming or changing into another.
Allah tells us He is Al-Bari, (The Shaper or Evolver) but once again, this does not mean He has a need to bring about each individual life form all from one kind. Actually, while reading the Quran you learn He has brought many types and shapes and sizes as He Wills. Changes within species occur even as quickly as one or two seasons, not even taking a whole year, much less millions as was supposed by Darwin.
Speaking of Charles Darwin, he was only an armature naturalist and had only observed the finches (birds) on the Galapagos Islands for the first time in the mid 1850s. He noticed that on each island the birds had different shaped beaks according to the type of food available on their particular island. For this reason, he assumed, the birds had progressed over millions of years and only the hardiest of the species had survived the climate and vegetation changes. However, this is totally inaccurate and was dismissed as a mere humor in a TV series on the educational channel in October of 1998. According to the scientists’ discoveries in that very same year, the effects of the weather phenomenon known as El Nino, the climate on these same exact islands had drastically changed in a single year within a number of months. And to their surprise, the eggs of the finches on each island hatched open producing birds with beaks already altered to accommodate the changes of their environment.
The commentator even said this shoots Darwin's theory completely down and he laughed.
There is no DNA research pointing to a connection between apes and humans as was supposed by the scientists and those who had financed them over the years. In fact, the barnyard pig is closer to humans in many aspects, than a monkey or a gorilla. Consider the fact, doctors use the skin from pigs to replace needed tissue on burn victims and the famous movie actor, John Wayne had a pig's heart valve installed in his own heart in a 1977 operation to save his life. It worked, too - until his smoking caused him to die of cancer.
The rational approach to the whole subject is rather simple. Just as He is able to Create the universe and bring forth life, it is simple also for Him to produce as many different types of forms of life as He Wills. No problem for Him, after all - He is the Creator and He is the Shaper. And most important, He can change anything as He Wills - even today.

Where Did Everything Come From?
What is the proof?
Islam tells us Allah is both The Creator & The Evolver, of all that exits. We know Allah did not evolve us from monkeys, and we know all things are from Allah. Please share this information with those who deny the existence of God. They need it.
There is a popular theory referred to as the 'Big Bang' theory. It tries to explain the existence of the universe in an evolutionary manner having an initial beginning with an immense explosion of some gases or solid mass. Some say there first was a void or ’nothingness’, or perhaps, some gases which exploded then from this everything in the universe simply began to evolve to the stage that we see now. There has never really been any solid evidence for this idea of 'something out of nothing' concept. Nor for that matter, the evolutionary theory itself.
We would like to explore the idea of creation from a purely logical standpoint using simple terminology without religious hype, emotional pre-convictions or superstitions.
What if someone called a 'scientist' tells you his 'theory' of how cars are made is like this:
A salvage yard on the south side of town blows up and all the metal pieces fly into the air and fall back down in one place forming a brand new Chevrolet Caprice automobile.. with no left over parts.. and the motor is running..
Or what if his theory for how a chair is made is:
An explosion occurs in a forest and the trees go flying into the air and then suddenly they combine with some flying cloth to make a beautiful chair... and then it lands in a furniture showroom complete with matching table and lamp...
He further explains that:
An earthquake in California's 'Silicon Valley' causes the computer chips and circuit boards and other various parts to fall out of their boxes and off of their shelves and just come in place together as they are rolling around on the floor and form the most advanced technical computers existing on the earth?...
Or what of his 'Medicine Theory'? He now claims that:
A gas leak in a pharmacy warehouse causes a terrific explosion. All the different chemicals and substances just smash into each other in exactly the correct amounts to produce a miracle drug which cures everything form cancer to heart and liver disease, old age and warts?...
Wait... there's more to this one:
It is all in one formula, packaged in the bottles with labels and ready to sell with no mess left on the floor?...
Now after all this exploding and excitement this 'scientist' tells you of a great place to relax and have something to eat. It is his favorite place and he calls it: "Burger Blast"! He says:
You just go in and sit down and suddenly a 'blast' from the kitchen occurs and immediately a burger lands right in front of you with all the trimmings.. just the way you like it complete with fries, a drink and even your favorite dessert?...
AND...
No one works at "Burger Blast", it just runs itself, automatically cleaning itself and as you leave it scans your billfold for a valid credit card and charges your bank account for what you have eaten?...
Now the question is: "Are you really going to accept any of this as 'fact'?"
Of course not!
We wouldn't believe a new car is made from flying junk; chairs don't fall down from exploding trees; earthquakes do not produce computers and blasting burgers don't rain down on us from above.
Question: So how come we don't challenge a theory of something coming from nothing and then colliding in the cosmos to make the universe? Is it because of its tremendous magnitude that we have so little comprehension about it, that we are willing to accept any theory from a few telescope 'peeping Toms' to tell us that it came from 'nothingness'? Or just some gases colliding and then... 'Poof'!? Instant Universe? How?
Let us now come to our main subject:
Creation or Explosion?
We can turn our attention to the earth and the heavens and make observations on our own without a 'genius' scientist telling us what we are seeing. And then the idea that nothing is sustaining the heavens and the earth! - 'It just runs itself'? How?
Think about the stars, the sun, the moon and the countless solar systems and galaxies in the universe.
Who or What created them in the first place?
They continue to function and move with the utmost precision and accuracy.
Who does this? Who keeps them gliding along on their courses and orbits preordained for them?
The Quran on the Origin of the Universe
Look closer to the heaven surrounding the earth. We call it the 'sky'. Notice the clouds? What are they?
The Quran on Clouds
Let us now bring our gaze a bit closer to earth. Consider the mountains and their majesty. Is there anything about these massive formations that may give us a clue as to the origin of creation?
The Quran on Mountains
What about the water covering the earth? Is there another clue hiding beneath the seas?
The Quran on Deep Seas and Internal Waves
Water covers so much of the earth and even mixes with the land in rivers and streams. Yet is there something keeping it from mixing with itself? What is contained in this mystery of separation of waters?
The Quran on Seas and Rivers
What about us? Are we are part of creation? How did we begin? What develops us and causes us to live and die? How are we sustained?
The Quran on Human Embryonic Development
Think about the humans. How did we all get here? What is the nature of mankind? What causes us to act as we do? Are we ungrateful to the One who created us and sustains us? What is this clue? Think about yourself. Did you create yourself?
The Quran on the Cerebrum (forehead area of the brain in humans)
Who or What created all this? Who is sustaining everything? How do organisms reproduce themselves? How can a tree grow up out of a seed?

Ask anyone the question: "Do you believe in God?" and you are sure to receive a variety of answers. The question should be "What do you believe about God?"
Think about this:
If there is a creation, there must be a Creator.
If there is a Creator, He must be the Sustainer.
The Creator Cannot Create Himself.
If He is the sole Creator/Sustainer -- He must be ONE.
God must be one. Otherwise we would see great differences and competition between the gods if there were more than one -- Alone.
Do we agree that this is a creation? Or do we accept that nothing came out of nothing to form this entire universe?
This is a very clear message from Allah, in the Quran. Something does not come out of nothing. So, there must be something in existence already which created all that we know to exist. And that "something" needs to be called upon in times of need and thanksgiving.
As Allah has said in His Book: "I only created you all to worship Me Alone."
He also says that we are all being tested by Him with regard to our wealth, families, children and social status.

The Quran contains many references to astronomy:
"And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming."
[Noble Quran 21:33]
These references, and the injunctions to learn, inspired the early Muslim scholars to study the heavens. They integrated the earlier works of the Indians, Persians and Greeks into a new synthesis.
Ptolemy's Almagest (the title as we know it today is actually Arabic) was translated, studied and criticized. Many new stars were discovered, as we see in their Arabic names - Algol, Deneb, Betelgeuse, Rigel, Aldebaran. Astronomical tables were compiled, among them the Toledan tables, which were used by Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Kepler.
Also compiled were almanacs - another Arabic term. Other terms from Arabic are zenith, nadir, Aledo, azimuth.
Muslim astronomers were the first to establish observatories, like the one built at Mugharah by Hulagu, the son of Genghis Khan, in Persia, and they invented instruments such as the quadrant and astrolabe, which led to advances not only in astronomy but in oceanic navigation, contributing to the European age of exploration.
Geography
Muslim scholars paid great attention to geography. In fact, the Muslims' great concern for geography originated with their religion.
The Quran encourages people to travel throughout the earth to see God's signs and patterns everywhere. Islam also requires each Muslim to have at least enough knowledge of geography to know the direction of the Qiblah (the position of the Ka'bah in Makkah) in order to pray five times a day.
Muslims were also used to taking long journeys to conduct trade as well as to make the Hajj and spread their religion. The far-flung Islamic empire enabled scholar-explorers to compile large amounts of geographical and climatic information from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Among the most famous names in the field of geography, even in the West, are Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Batuta, renowned for their written accounts of their extensive explorations.
In 1166, Al-Idrisi, the well-known Muslim scholar who served the Sicilian court, produced very accurate maps, including a world map with all the continents and their mountains, rivers and famous cities. Al-Muqdishi was the first geographer to produce accurate maps in color.
Spain was ruled by Muslims under the banner of Islam for over 700 years. By the 15th century of the Gregorian calendar the ruler-ship of Islam had been seated in Spain and Muslims had established centers of learning which commanded respect all over the known world at that time. There were no "Dark Ages" such the rest of Europe experienced for the Muslims in Spain and those who lived there with them. In January of 1492 Muslim Spain capitulated to Catholic Rome under King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. By July of the same year, Muslims were instrumental in helping navigate Christopher Columbus to the Caribbean South of Florida.
It was, moreover, with the help of Muslim navigators and their inventions that Magellan was able to traverse the Cape of Good Hope, and Da Gamma and Columbus had Muslim navigators on board their ships.
Humanity
Seeking knowledge is obligatory in Islam for every Muslim, man and woman. The main sources of Islam, the Quran and the Sunnah (Prophet Muhammad's traditions), encourage Muslims to seek knowledge and be scholars, since this is the best way for people to know Allah (God), to appreciate His wondrous creations and be thankful for them.
Muslims have always been eager to seek knowledge, both religious and secular, and within a few years of Muhammad's mission, a great civilization sprang up and flourished. The outcome is shown in the spread of Islamic universities; Al-Zaytunah in Tunis, and Al-Azhar in Cairo go back more than 1,000 years and are the oldest existing universities in the world. Indeed, they were the models for the first European universities, such as Bologna, Heidelberg, and the Sorbonne. Even the familiar academic cap and gown originated at Al-Azhar University.
Muslims made great advances in many different fields, such as geography, physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, pharmacology, architecture, linguistics and astronomy. Algebra and the Arabic numerals were introduced to the world by Muslim scholars. The astrolabe, the quadrant, and other navigational devices and maps were developed by Muslim scholars and played an important role in world progress, most notably in Europe's age of exploration.
Muslim scholars studied the ancient civilizations from Greece and Rome to China and India. The works of Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid and others were translated into Arabic. Muslim scholars and scientists then added their own creative ideas, discoveries and inventions, and finally transmitted this new knowledge to Europe, leading directly to the Renaissance. Many scientific and medical treatises, having been translated into Latin, were standard text and reference books as late as the 17th and 18th centuries.
Mathematics
Muslim mathematicians excelled in geometry, as can be seen in their graphic arts, and it was the great Al-Biruni (who excelled also in the fields of natural history, even geology and mineralogy) who established trigonometry as a distinct branch of mathematics. Other Muslim mathematicians made significant progress in number theory.
It is interesting to note that Islam so strongly urges mankind to study and explore the universe. For example, the Noble Quran states:
"We (Allah) will show you (mankind) Our signs/patterns in the horizons/universe and in yourselves until you are convinced that the revelation is the truth." [Noble Quran 41:53]
This invitation to explore and search made Muslims interested in astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, and the other sciences, and they had a very clear and firm understanding of the correspondences among geometry, mathematics, and astronomy.
The Muslims invented the symbol for zero (The word "cipher" comes from Arabic sifr), and they organized the numbers into the decimal system - base 10. Additionally, they invented the symbol to express an unknown quantity, i.e. variables like x.
The first great Muslim mathematician, Al-Khawarizmi, invented the subject of algebra (al-Jabr), which was further developed by others, most notably Umar Khayyam. Al-Khawarizmi's work, in Latin translation, brought the Arabic numerals along with the mathematics to Europe, through Spain. The word "algorithm" is derived from his name.
Medicine
In Islam, the human body is a source of appreciation, as it is created by Almighty Allah (God). How it functions, how to keep it clean and safe, how to prevent diseases from attacking it or cure those diseases, have been important issues for Muslims.
Ibn Sina (d. 1037), better known to the West as Avicenna, was perhaps the greatest physician until the modern era. His famous book, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, remained a standard textbook even in Europe, for over 700 years. Ibn Sina's work is still studied and built upon in the East.
Prophet Muhammad himself urged people to "take medicines for your diseases", as people at that time were reluctant to do so. He also said,
"God created no illness, except that He has established for it a cure, except for old age. When the antidote is applied, the patient will recover with the permission of God."
Since the religion did not forbid it, Muslim scholars used human cadavers to study anatomy and physiology and to help their students understand how the body functions. This empirical study enabled surgery to develop very quickly.
Al-Razi, known in the West as Rhazes, the famous physician and scientist, (d. 932) was one of the greatest physicians in the world in the Middle Ages. He stressed empirical observation and clinical medicine and was unrivalled as a diagnostician. He also wrote a treatise on hygiene in hospitals. Abul-Qasim Az-Zahrawi was a very famous surgeon in the eleventh century, known in Europe for his work, Concession (Kitab al-Tasrif).
Other significant contributions were made in pharmacology, such as Ibn Sina's Kitab al-Shifa' (Book of Healing), and in public health. Every major city in the Islamic world had a number of excellent hospitals, some of them teaching hospitals, and many of them were specialized for particular diseases, including mental and emotional. The Ottomans were particularly noted for their building of hospitals and for the high level of hygiene practiced in them.

Wujud ke tak wujud wa tak pasti .... Tapi kebanyakan manusia akan percaya apa yang mereka di ajar terutamanya bab agama. Mereka harus mesti wajib percaya sebab telah dijanjikan syurga dan neraka kerana semua orang yang bertuhan nak masuk syurga.
Tapi bila wa fiikr kenapa 99% manusia akan berkata tuhan mencipta bumi untuk kehidupan! Sebab bumi ada air dan oksigen! Tapi bila wa fikir betul2 .... Kalau macam tu ... Wa Rasa kuasa tuhan tu terbatas untuk kehidupan di bumi sahaja! Sebab tuhan tak boleh hidupkan kehidupan di planet lain selain bumi. Mengikut kepercayaan lobai Bukankah tuhan itu akan mencipta apa sahaja yang dia mahu? Tak ada limit.
Kalau tuhan letak kehidupan di planet yang tak ada air dan oksigen tentu kehidupan Itu boleh hidup di planet tu dengan kuasa tuhan kan? Sebab tuhan berkuasa sepenuhnya!... Sama juga manusia di Afrika sana yang mana mereka tak perlu hidup dengan meminum air yang banyak.. Mereka hanya perlu minum beberapa titik air sahaja untuk meneruskan kehidupan.
Tapi wa percaya kehidupan adalah berevolusi. |

"By the sky which returns." (Quran 86:11)
"[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling…" (Quran 2:22)
In the first verse God swears by the sky[1] and its function of ‘returning’ without specifying what it ‘returns.’ In Islamic doctrine, a divine oath signifies the magnitude of importance of a special relation to the Creator, and manifests His majesty and the supreme Truth in a special way.
The second verse describes the Divine Act that made the sky a ‘ceiling’ for the dwellers of earth.
Let us see what modern atmospheric science has to say about the role and function of the sky.
The atmosphere is a word which denotes all the air surrounding the earth, from the ground all the way up to the edge from which space starts. The atmosphere is composed of several layers, each defined because of the various phenomena which occur within the layer.
This image shows the average temperature profile through the Earth’s atmosphere. Temperatures in the thermosphere are very sensitive to solar activity and can vary from 500°C to 1500°C.

Rain, for one, is ‘returned’ to Earth by the clouds in the atmosphere. Explaining the hydrologic cycle, Encyclopedia Britannica writes:
"Water evaporates from both the aquatic and terrestrial environments as it is heated by the Sun’s energy. The rates of evaporation and precipitation depend on solar energy, as do the patterns of circulation of moisture in the air and currents in the ocean. Evaporation exceeds precipitation over the oceans, and this water vapor is transported by the wind over land, where it returns to the land through precipitation."[2]
Not only does the atmosphere return what was on the surface back to the surface, but it reflects back into space that which might damage the flora and fauna the earth sustains, such as excessive radiant heat. In the 1990’s, collaborations between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of Japan resulted in the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Science Initiative. Polar, Wind and Geotail are a part of this initiative, combining resources and scientific communities to obtain coordinated, simultaneous investigations of the Sun-Earth space environment over an extended period of time. They have an excellent explanation of how the atmosphere returns solar heat to space.[3]
Besides ‘returning’ rain, heat and radio waves, the atmosphere protects us like a ceiling above our heads by filtering out deadly cosmic rays, powerful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun, and even meteorites on collision course with Earth.[4]
Pennsylvania State Public Broadcasting tells us:
"The sunlight that we can see represents one group of wavelengths, visible light. Other wavelengths emitted by the sun include x-rays and ultraviolet radiation. X-rays and some ultraviolet light waves are absorbed high in Earth’s atmosphere. They heat the thin layer of gas there to very high temperatures. Ultraviolet light waves are the rays that can cause sunburn. Most ultraviolet light waves are absorbed by a thicker layer of gas closer to Earth called the ozone layer. By soaking up the deadly ultraviolet and x-rays, the atmosphere acts as a protective shield around the planet. Like a giant thermal blanket, the atmosphere also keeps temperatures from getting too hot or too cold. In addition, the atmosphere also protects us from constant bombardment by meteoroids, bits of rock and dust that travel at high speeds throughout the solar system. The falling stars we see at night are not stars at all; they are actually meteoroids burning up in our atmosphere due to the extreme heating they undergo."[5]
This is an image of Earth’s polar stratospheric clouds. These clouds are involved in the creation of Earth’s ozone hole. Source: Windows to the Universe, (http://www.windows.ucar.edu/) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). ©1995-1999, 2000 The Regents of the University of Michigan; ©2000-04 University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.
Encyclopedia Britannica, describing the role of Stratosphere, tells us about its protective role in absorbing dangerous ultraviolet radiation:
"In the upper stratospheric regions, absorption of ultraviolet light from the Sun breaks down oxygen molecules; recombination of oxygen atoms with O2 molecules into ozone (O3) creates the ozone layer, which shields the lower ecosphere from harmful short-wavelength radiation…More disturbing, however, is the discovery of a growing depletion of ozone over temperate latitudes, where a large percentage of the world’s population resides, since the ozone layer serves as a shield against ultraviolet radiation, which has been found to cause skin cancer."[6]
The mesosphere is the layer in which many meteors burn up while entering the Earth’s atmosphere. Imagine a baseball zipping along at 30,000 miles per hour. That’s how big and fast many meteors are. When they plow through the atmosphere, meteors are heated to more than 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, and they glow. A meteor compresses air in front of it. The air heats up, in turn heating the meteor.[7]
This is an image which shows the Earth and its atmosphere. The mesosphere would be the dark blue edge located on the far top of the image underneath the back.

Earth is surrounded by a magnetic force field - a bubble in space called "the magnetosphere" tens of thousands of miles wide. The magnetosphere acts as a shield that protects us from solar storms. However, according to new observations from NASA’s IMAGE spacecraft and the joint NASA/European Space Agency Cluster satellites, immense cracks sometimes develop in Earth’s magnetosphere and remain open for hours. This allows the solar wind to gush through and power stormy space weather. Fortunately, these cracks do not expose Earth’s surface to the solar wind. Our atmosphere protects us, even when our magnetic field does not.[8]

How would it be possible for a fourteenth century desert dweller to describe the sky in a manner so precise that only recent scientific discoveries have confirmed it? The only way is if he received revelation from the Creator of the sky.

The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of ‘smoke’ (i.e. an opaque highly dense and hot gaseous composition).[1] This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology. Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke’ (see figures 1 and 2).
Figure 1: A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the ‘smoke’ that was the origin of the whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, p. 50.)
Figure 2: The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter. It is excited by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have recently formed within its bulk. (Horizons, Exploring the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.)
The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran:
“Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke...” (Quran 41:11)
Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran:
“Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?...” (Quran 21:30)
Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.”[2] (To view the RealPlayer video of this comment click here). Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.”
