The Big bang.


What happened 'before' it? (if you believe in it.) A simple answer will do please, no debates.


This thread isn't to do with whether it really happened or not, just want your opinion or view.



Thanks in advance.

:sl: 10times out of 10 I agree with you qatada, but I do want to see some of the replies on this thread.
 
My guess would be nothing, just a basic fabric of the universe.
 
:sl:

I beleive in whatever is written in the Quran abt the creation of universe. I think Big bang is a part of it:? (I think I read that somewhere).

Anyway, if there was a big bang then b4 that came Allah's creation of pencil/pen , creation of angels, jin, shaitaan (or mayb they came after the big bang) .

Allah knows better.
May He forgive me for errors in my statement.

:w:
 
My understanding is that for the first split second after the Big Bang, the laws of physics do not apply, so it is not possible to understand what happened.. And most probably we will never understand what happened in that split second or anything before.
Of course you can always use the 3 letter answer for anything.
 
Assalamu Alaikum

interesting bro

before the big bang there was possibly whatever Allah willed there to be.

Bro the heavens were created before earth right :?
 
well... our fairest answer would be "allah knows best" and he sure does,

but i want to include that the earth was made before Adam (halisalam) 's arrival on earth.

We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,-037.006

i always wondered if the lowest heaven contains the stars we see in the sky....
 
I've read a few articles on this subject, and there are several theories out there about what existed prior to the Big Bang. The latest theory is called the "string theory" or the "M-Theory". Basically that our universe could exist alongside other universes different in space and time. It is fairly complicated, and I don't have the lingo to explain it. Basically the theory is that the universe was a mixture of extreme heat and gas before this supposed "Big Bang", and that alternate universes were also created alongside our own, sort of like a bubble bath, with each bubble representing a universe. I suppose that would tie in to the ever expanding universe principle.
 
Aslaamualaikum,

First of all I would like to share something in urdu, "Yeh Duniya hey Faani, tau iska matlab hey k Kainaat bhi hey faani".

Allah has created everything with a balance and perfection. The big bang is a sceintific theory, of course only Allah knows better. We can only guess, how it happened. Space images of dying stars (Nebula) might be an example of how the big bang was.

Indeed, Allah knows that we do not know. (Full stop)

Religious people believe that heaven is a place the mind cannot comprehend.

Your statement is evidence of your doubt there is any heaven.

Look through a telescope and learn that the stars are nothing more than suns. Just like our sun but a very long way away.

good honest answer.

me too.

However there are some theories.

Some suggests that this universe is just one of many cycles.
big bang universe big crunch and repeat....

i think hawkings said theorizing whats before the universe or time is like theorizing whats up from up.

We don't know what happened. And because we don't know we can therefore come to an educated conclusion.

Thor, the god of war, Venus the god of love and the great spaghettie monster all got together for a great tea party in the sky!

NO DEBATE !

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed thinking about things like this? Just the thought of how incomprehensibly vast the universe is...

What happened before the big bang? As a theist I'd have to say nothing. When I was an atheist, I always liked the idea about cycles (bang, expand, contract, crunch, bang), made me wonder what the other universes were like.

Islamically, heaven does not refer to paradise. There are seven heavens, and the lowest heaven is adorned with stars.

So if the lowest is the one with the stars (i.e, presumably, the cosmos as it can be viewed with a telescope) how are the others interpreted? As some sort of other spiritual realms, or planes of conciousness?
