27 Amazing Verses From The Quran about the Universe


The Quran has the most inspiring and beautiful verses which talk about patience, hope, righteous way to live life, peace, and empowerment. As humans living on this Earth we barely have any idea about what lies in the rest of the world, or more so how much of the rest of the world is there?
We are one planet of many, one of many solar systems, one of many milky ways, one of many galaxies, all held in one world. We can barely start to imagine the capacity of all this world holds until we become overwhelmed by its mere complexity, it truly is extraordinary, there is so much our minds cannot gather, such is the beauty of this world.
There is so much focus on this world of ours, the beloved earth, full of gracious greens and blossoming blues but what about the world beyond?
What about what stretches beyond the beaming blue sky and serenading stars?
There is an entire universe beyond us. Billions of galaxies like ours. Stars and Planets. Everything and so much more, more than our human minds could ever imagine.
We have compiled 27 verses from the holy Quran related to the Universe to help us reflect on the magnificence of our Creator ALLAH!

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُومُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُ وَمَن يُهِنِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّكْرِمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاء



Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people; and many there are against whom chastisement has become necessary; and whomsoever Allah abases, there is none who can make him honorable; surely Allah does what He pleases



22:18

The seven heavens extol His limitless glory, and the earth, and all that they contain; and there is not a single thing but extols His limitless glory and praise: but you [O men] fail to grasp the manner of their glorifying Him! Verily, He is forbearing, much-forgiving

18

الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنسَانِ مِن طِين

وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُون

تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرَىٰ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيب

    Reading your repeatation of words of Allah is a source of inspiration !

    The Quran beautifully describes the universe and its wonders, offering profound insights into the creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in between. These verses highlight not only the greatness of Allah’s creation but also serve as a reminder of His power and majesty. Reflecting on these verses can deepen our understanding of the universe and our place within it.

    For a deeper connection with Allah’s words and to witness more of His signs, don’t forget to read Surah Yaseen. It’s often called the “heart of the Quran” and offers spiritual guidance, especially regarding creation and the afterlife.

    एक बात पढ़ी मेने, हमने आसमान ओर धरती आपस मेमिले हुवे थे, हमने फाड़कर अलग कर दिया, मतलब ये बात 1400 साल पहले किसी को पता नही थी, साइंस ने अब बताया है, की पहले, आपस मे ,मिले हुवे थे, ओर कुरान 1400 साल पहले यही बात बता रहा है, इसका मतलब ये किताब अल्लाह की ओर से आई हुई है।
