Qur’anic Time: Relativity, Eternity, and the 50,000-Year Day

Qur’anic Time: Relativity, Eternity, and the 50,000-Year Day Introduction Time is one of the most profound mysteries of human existence. Modern physics describes time as a dimension woven into the very fabric of the universe, relative and elastic, shaped by motion and gravity. The Qur’an , revealed over 1,400 years ago, engages with the concept of time in ways that intriguingly resonate with contemporary scientific insights. In particular, the Qur’an’s references to “ a Day equal to 50,000 years ” ( Surah al-Ma’arij 70:4 ) and “ a Day equal to 1,000 years ” ( Surah al-Sajdah 32:5 ) have long fascinated scholars, scientists, and seekers of truth. This article explores how Qur’anic descriptions of time intersect with Einstein’s relativity , the idea of eternity, and the metaphysical perception of existence beyond human comprehension. The Human Experience of Time From sunrise to sunset, from birth to death, humans live within the boundaries of time. For us, time appears linear—yesterd...

Cosmic Expansion: Qur’anic Universe vs Modern Cosmology

Cosmic Expansion: Qur’anic Universe vs Modern Cosmology Introduction The idea that the universe is vast, dynamic, and constantly evolving has fascinated both theologians and scientists for centuries. The Qur’an , revealed more than 1400 years ago, presents a striking description of cosmic reality that resonates deeply with discoveries in modern cosmology . One of the most profound verses in the Qur’an describes the expansion of the universe : “And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.” (Qur’an 51:47) This verse presents a view of the cosmos as something not static, but continuously unfolding. Modern science, particularly through the works of Edwin Hubble and subsequent cosmologists, has confirmed that galaxies are moving away from each other — proof that the universe itself is expanding. This convergence between scripture and science opens a field of exploration into cosmology, theology, and the philosophy of existence. In this article, we...

Light Beyond Physics: Qur’anic Nūr and Photonic Science

Light Beyond Physics: Qur’anic Nūr & Photonic Science Introduction: Light as Universal Language Light is one of the few realities that every culture, religion, and science has sought to understand, describe, and harness. It is both a metaphor for truth and knowledge and a physical entity with measurable properties. In the Qur’an , the word Nūr (Light) is invoked with profound metaphysical depth, culminating in the celebrated verse: “ Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth …” ( Qur’an 24:35 ). In physics, light is understood as electromagnetic radiation, made of photons , a dual entity that is both particle and wave. This article seeks to bridge these domains—Qur’anic conceptions of light and modern photonic science—to explore how Nūr can be read not only as a symbol of divine reality but also as a concept resonant with the mysteries of photons, quantum mechanics , and cosmology . Section 1: Qur’anic Nūr — Light as Divine Metaphor & Reality The Qur’anic discourse o...

Digital Prophecies: How AI Echoes the Signs of Dajjal

  Digital Prophecies: How AI Echoes the Signs of Dajjal Introduction: The Age of Digital Prophecies We live in a world where technology increasingly blurs the line between reality and illusion. Artificial intelligence (AI) can generate human-like voices, create lifelike images, and even simulate personalities that seem almost real. To many, this feels like the dawn of a miraculous age. Yet for those who look at history and scripture, it also resonates with ancient warnings of deception. In Islamic eschatology , the figure of the Dajjal —often paralleled with the Antichrist in Christian thought—is described as the great deceiver of humanity. His power lies in creating illusions so strong that people mistake falsehood for truth. Today, as AI reshapes human perception, it appears to echo many of these prophetic signs. Dajjal in Prophetic Tradition Islamic hadith literature describes the Dajjal as a false messiah who will emerge near the end of time. He will possess extraordinary p...

Modern Dajjal: Hidden System or One Man Deception?

Modern Dajjal: Hidden System or One Man Deception? Introduction For centuries, the prophecy of the Dajjal (the Antichrist) has haunted human imagination. Across Islamic, Christian, and even secular circles, the question keeps reappearing: Is Dajjal a single deceptive man who will appear at the end of times—or is he already among us as a system, a hidden structure of control shaping our world? In the 21st century, as technology, artificial intelligence, and global power networks expand, the discussion about Dajjal has moved from the minbar to online forums, academic debates, and even AI-driven conversations. This article explores the concept of Dajjal not as a simple figure in the future but as a living deception . We will analyze religious prophecies, compare them with modern systems of control, and examine whether Dajjal is a single man yet to appear—or a system already influencing our lives. 1. Who is Dajjal in Islamic Tradition? The Qur’an does not mention Dajjal directly, b...

From Smart to Super Perfect: The Next Evolution of AI

From Smart to Super Perfect: The Next Evolution of AI Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come a long way from its early days of rule-based systems and basic decision-making algorithms . Today’s AI models, like large language models (LLMs) and advanced neural networks , are capable of generating human-like text, analyzing vast datasets in seconds, recognizing faces, and even producing art. Yet, this is still only the beginning. The real transformation will come when AI transitions from being “smart” to becoming “super perfect” — a state where its capabilities exceed human limitations in ways that are not just powerful, but also profoundly beneficial. The Journey So Far The earliest AI systems relied heavily on hand-coded rules and narrow applications. They could play chess or perform simple medical diagnoses, but they lacked flexibility. With the advent of machine learning , AI began to learn from data rather than rely solely on predefined rules. Deep learning then pushed these boundar...

Why Time Speeds Up as We Age: Science & Life Lessons

Image
Introduction Have you ever noticed that childhood summers seemed to last forever, but now, the years slip by almost unnoticed? Many people over the age of 60 often comment that time appears to be moving faster than it did in their youth. This sensation is not just a poetic musing—it has scientific, psychological, and even philosophical explanations. In this article, we will explore why our perception of time changes as we grow older, the role of our brains and experiences, and the life lessons we can take from this phenomenon. The Science of Time Perception 1. Proportional Theory: The Mathematics of Life’s Clock One of the simplest explanations is based on proportions. When you are ten years old, one year represents 10% of your entire life. At sixty, a single year is just 1.6% of your life. This shift in proportion alters your perception—each year feels shorter in comparison to the total years you have lived. The brain processes time relative to previous experiences, so as the de...
