Many people know this verse. Few however have understand its true meaning. My goal in this post is to offer an understanding of this verse which is compliant with modern scientific understanding. First let's look at the traditional understanding and test its validity. Is everything created in pairs on this planet? The answer is no. Asexual organisms, hermaphrodites, arthenogenetic organisms, schizophyllum commune (which has 26000 different sexes) are all studied topics in biology which contradict this understanding. Then what could it possibly mean? The first hint is the use of the verb "to create". This verse is relating to the creation of the universe. The big bang theory is accepted among scientists and this is where we should look to unravel the true meaning of this verse. In nature there is an element known as heavy hydrogen, also known as deuterium. The deuterium isotope's name is formed from the Greek deuteros meaning "second", to denote the two particles composing the nucleus. It's the most simple "pair" in nature. The nucleus of deuterium, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron. Now this element played a very important role in the creation of this universe and the big bang. The explanation is very complex so I'll try to keep it as simple as possible. Deuterium played a huge role in the first minutes after big bang. It defined the number and ratios of the elements that were formed in the Big Bang. Especially the formation of helium. Helium can only be formed with an in between step of forming deuterium. As you know helium is what fuels stars like our sun and every other star in this universe. As we know every living thing on this planet is composed of elements created in stars. And here we have in Quran a verse stating, "And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember" Isn't this mind-blowing? Indeed everything "the universe" was created by an element known as a pair "deuterium", which later formed helium, fueled the stars and created life.

Salam So I asked these questions on another forum, a Sunni one, and get no answer after 50 days... Shame :/ So I am going to re-write said questions and hope my wait won't last as long. 1. Am I allowed to leave Islam and return to it?2. I am having constant doubts; almost becoming agnostic; but I simply brush them off when they come up. Am I still a Muslim or have I committed "shirk"?3. Do other sections of Islam, if they sincerely believe they are correct, enter heaven; or only us?4. If other sections of Islam do enter heaven, given their circumstances; does that apply to other religions? 5. Do people enter heaven based on: morals or belief. In other words, could an athiest enter heaven?6. Does the Qur'an apply prior to its reveal or is its miracle limited to only after?7. Why does God punish me, (kufar), for thousands of years, if I've only lived for 60-100 years?8. In the Qur'an it says "أنما أنت منذر و لكل قوم هاد""You are a warner, and for every tribe there is a guider" So where is our guidance?9. Will the Dajjal enter heaven or hell?10. Can I accept the Big Bang theory and the Evolution? These are pre-questions, harder ones will follow P.S Don't give me essays for an answer, try to keep it maximum paragraph. Wassallam

Cosmic inflation: New study says BICEP claim was wrong Scientists who claimed last year to have found a pattern in the sky left by the super-rapid expansion of space just fractions of a second after the Big Bang were mistaken. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31058529 lol of course

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26605974 Some are going so far as to claim this discovery to be Nobel Prize worthy. Masha Allah, another scientific wonder of Allah will now be studied in a more focused fashion :) My good friend who works in the MIT faculty of Physics has also shared it on Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/20mrz4/cosmic_inflation_spectacular_discovery_hailed/cg4u10g?sort=confidence

AOA, I've been thinking, and I've come up with a conclusion, the big bang could of been how the universe was made. Maybe God has created the universe like this, maybe he had a single dense point explode and expand to create the universe, I mean Allah is capable of creating something out of nothing, and many many years later (about 13 billion) he sent humans down later. Because the universe and animals and planets were all here before prophet Adam came. I mean Allah is able to do anything so he could of just created the universe like so. I am not questioning Allah, nor denying his creation, just wondering. Salam, Thank You
