Science is the brother of Islam

[Mister Agenda]

For example in the quran it mentions separation of the earth and heavens (universe) and expansion of the heavens (universe).

The quran predicts the big bang theory.

Then why was it not a Muslim who devised the theory? The answer is that it was not actually a prediction. For one thing, prior to Hubble, the English translations of that sura were:

"...With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of space.... " (Surah 51:47). Yusufali

"...We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).... " (Surah 51:47). Pickthal

"...And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.... " (Surah 51:47). Shakir

AFTER Hubble proved the universe is expanding, we got translations like this:

Shabbir Ahmed:
"And it is We Who have built the Universe, and behold, We are steadily expanding it."

Dr. Munir Munshey:
"With Our power and prowess, We brought into being the universe. And indeed, We expand it (steadily)!"

Progressive Muslims:
"And We constructed the universe using matter, and We will expand it."

Muhammad Asad:
"And it is We who have built the universe with [Our creative] power; and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."

Arberry:
"And heaven -- We built it with might, and We extend it wide."
