The Big Bang theory in Islam is indeed related because it is in the Koran, but Muslims must believe only God can create it.
Quran Cordoba - What is the Big Bang theory in Islam ? All of you as Muslims must know actually seen from a religious point of view. Despite the fact, the theory was coined based on the field of science and technology of human research findings.
The science of monotheism in Islam is clear at the same time it cannot be denied anymore that Allah SWT is the only God Creator of the Universe with all its contents. In other words, there is no God other than Allah because of the Almighty, so the Khaliq who created everything including the universe.
The Big Bang theory states that the current universe is formed from a single point in solid and heat conditions. Because the heat pressure is so peaked and cannot be held anymore, there was a powerful explosion. That explosion is called Big Bang by experts and researchers in this field.
After an explosion, all the flakes came out and then spread evenly. Over time, these flakes also grow and develop. Until finally, it became various planets and other celestial bodies.
For example, the sun, moon, asteroid, meteoride, and so forth. Then, how is the Big Bang theory in Islam ? Does religious teachings also offend or discuss the creation of the universe?
These two questions are very important to answer. It is known that the originator of the Big Bang theory is not Muslim, it does not even rule out the possibility of an atheist alias not believe in God and all things related to religion.
They only rely on the power of his brain to think and process various sources of material to conclude the theory. In the Quran Surah Al-Anbiya verse 30, Allah has informed about the creation of heaven and earth.
Although not in detail and detailed, it can be understood in general that the universe and all of these contents include the earth created in certain processes.
Meaning: " And do the infidels do not know that the heaven and earth were both fused. Then we separate between the two, and we make everything that lives comes from water. So why do they not believe ?" (Surah Al-Anbiya, 21: 30)
So, the Big Bang theory in Islam does have a connection about the creation of the universe and has been written in the Koran. All of you can understand it again by reading the translation and interpretation from the scholars.

In Surah Al-Anbiya, the 30th verse of Allah said that in the past heaven and earth were fused. The word heaven and earth are another designation of the universe and all its contents. Like the Big Bang theory has stated the beginning of the creation of the universe from one solid and hot point.
However, the theory has never mentioned God's intervention at all. In contrast to Islam because it has a holy book of the Koran as a guide to life has also told about the creation of the earth, heaven, and the whole universe.
Allah SWT as God Almighty is also the Khaliq or Creator. In other words, only God is able to create everything without exception from the smallest to the largest particles. Therefore, Muslims must worship Him at the same time be grateful for everything given to this day, including the Big Bang theory in Islam .
Then, how to be grateful? You can start by saying Hamdallah as the easiest form of gratitude, trivial, and simple. Although considered trivial, but the reward is great as long as it is practiced with a sense of sincerity.
In addition to saying Hamdallah, you can also be grateful in other ways. For example, issuing some assets for people or parties who need more in the form of shodaqoh, infaq, as well as zakat. Please do it from now on even though the nominal is small which is important there is a sense of sincerity.
No need to wait for old age or get a large income because it does not guarantee it can be like that. It's better to immediately do it hoping to get a reward from the Khaliq. One form of acknowledging and admiring his creation is so large, namely the universe.
However, it must still maintain the faith that Allah Azza wa Jalla as its creator. Now, all of you have increasingly understood the Big Bang theory in Islam which turned out to have a connection.
