This was said in a lecture delivered on Saturday night at the Dubai Chamber of Commerce as part of the cultural programme of the 14th session of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award.
The lecture was also attended by Shaikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority.
In his lecture ‘The cosmos has a God’, Prof Dr Sabri Al Demerdash from Egypt, substantiated the fact with several examples from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah.
“Science has recently proved that the heavens are built the same way as on earth, yet with other material. They are even lifted up on real poles.”
It has been lately discovered that four columns have been lifting up the seven heavens — the gravity, electromagnetic, minor and major nuclear powers.
“The real problem is that people are not aware of those facts as stipulated in the Holy Quran,” he said, citing Verse 6/91 which reads, ‘No just estimate of Allah do they (disbelievers) make.’
Prof Demerdash then mentioned some amazing facts about our universe, the only one known to us. “Our cosmos comprises one million galaxies, of which the Milky Way contains 4,000 suns. If the earth gets three metres closer or farther to the sun, it will either evaporate or turn into an ice ball,” he said. The earth ‘runs’ in a very precise orbit at an extremely fixed speed, exactly 1,600km/ph. “Should the earth move slower or faster, the centrifugal force which keeps it safe and stable in its orbit will be imbalanced, and the sun will suck it,” he said.
Prof Demerdash said the word atom was only named in 1674 by a British scientist, though it was mentioned earlier in the Holy Quran. “The Quran has been more accurate and affirmed that there are particulars smaller than the atom. The word atom, which is of Greek origin, means the undivided and that proves incorrect as per the Holy Quran.” An average man’s body contains 100 trillion cells. “A drop of water consists of 10 billion atoms of hydrogen and oxygen; this is more than the whole population on earth,” he said, noting that such sophisticated facts were mentioned by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in the Holy Quran more than 14 centuries ago.
