The Fifth Stage in Interpreting Scientific Data in Surah Al-Baqarah

The Fifth Stage in Interpreting Scientific Data in Surah Al-Baqarah “Who made the earth for you a bed.” The psalmist says of God: It means that he has made the earth a resting place for you. The Qur'an is the word of the Lord. Part 1, page 465, when interpreting the verse [The Cow: 22]. House of Knowledge, Egypt.) And We have spread out the earth, and We have spread it out, and We have made it abundantly abundant, and it is easy for them to live, to move, and to benefit from its bounty. This understanding is fully in line with modern geological realities, which show that the Earth was not from the beginning habitable, but rather hot fire, and then went through long stages of formation: The formation of continents, the modification of the atmosphere, the stabilization of mountains, the regulation of climate, the emergence of soils, the formation of energy resources... until the Earth became an actual "brash" for human activities.Modern earth/geology sciences reveal that the Earth went through a series of deep and complex transformations that spanned more than 4.6 billion years, during which time the planet was gradually prepared to be fit for the reception of living organisms, and eventually man. Scientific explanation 3.5 billion years ago. The emergence of the first living things: Cyanobacteria, a single-celled microorganism, is one of the oldest known forms of life on Earth. * Vital role: Capable of surviving in an environment filled with toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Gradually clean the atmosphere of these gases. Contribution to the formation of stromatolite: They began to form sedimentary structures known as stromatolites, the first traces of life recorded in the geological record. o These structures indicate that they are performing the primordial photosynthesis. Environmental Impact: o Increased amounts of oxygen were produced through photosynthesis. This process initiated a radical chemical shift in the atmosphere and oceans, paving the way for a subsequent major oxygenation event. 2.4 - 2.0 billion years ago The first great oxygenation event. High concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere and oceans. The beginning of the formation of the ozone layer. 600 million years ago. The second is the neoproterozoic oxygenation event. * Oxygen levels are close to the current level. * Environmental preliminaries to protect organisms from UV radiation. The environment is suitable for multicellular life. 541 million years ago - Cambrian Biocambrian explosion: a sudden and wide variety of multicellular marine organisms. The control of complex organisms over the marine environment. * Describe the event as resembling "creation myths". 488 million years ago. * Extinction of Cambrian organisms. 485 million years ago - Ordovician The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. The emergence of new marine organisms without ancestors: algae, coral, starfish, sponges, cephalopods. * Sometimes described as a "second bioexplosion". 420 million years ago - the end of the Silurian period The first appearance of ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii). It is now considered to be half of the vertebrate species on the planet. Roderick Morkeson called it a "distinctive creation event." 66 million years ago - the end of the Cretaceous Catastrophic extinction of dinosaurs (k-pg extinction) due to a meteorite. The disappearance of most large organisms. After the extinction of dinosaurs. Sudden emergence of new species that did not exist previously: The modern birds. Mammals. Fish with thorny fins (Acanthomorpha). After millions of years of extinct organisms. * Decomposes bodies and plants form: Or coal. Oil and Natural Gas. These riches have become the foundation of human civilization (energy, industry, technology). Each wave of extinction was not in vain, but a station for reordering life on Earth according to divine wisdom. The Holy Qur’an has referred with astonishing precision to this recurring cycle of creation and annihilation, saying: God begins creation, then He repeats it, then you will be returned to Him. That is, God creates beings according to their environments at the right time, then destroys them, then recreates new types in successive cycles, ending this year with the return of all to it. All of this takes place within a universal harness system, as the verse points out: Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth has been ridiculed by you all of it. Divine harnessing is not limited to the present, but includes extinct past beings that have indirectly contributed to preparing the earth for life, by cleaning up the atmosphere, enriching the soil, or creating energy resources. The Qur’an describes the cycle of life, extinction and repeated creation with impressive scientific precision, linking this to a greater purpose: to prepare the earth for man and harness the past and present to serve him, thus proving: * Corruption of Darwinian randomness hypotheses The integration of modern science with the divine laws in the universe. * The Qur'an speaks of the use of the earth for human beings: Not only did the Qur’an mention the existence of man on earth, but all modern theories preceded it in a statement that the earth was created and prepared gradually to be ready to receive it, in verses such as: “He who has made the earth for you a bed.” This description corresponds to what science has revealed that the Earth has gone through long stages of preparation: * Removal of toxic gases, To increase the oxygen content, Installing the mountains, the regulation of climate, the composition of the biosphere, soil and resources, All to prepare the planet for human life. Although these truths were only understood by humans in the last two centuries, they have been expressed in concise, deep and repeated Qur’anic terms in many Qur’anic verses for more than 1400 years. Of course, here is an academically and systematically reordered and formatted text that highlights the unity of the idea, makes it easy to read and strengthens the coherence of its parts: The Divine Creation of the Earth in the Light of the Holy Quran and Modern Geology God says: Who made the earth for you a bed. The psalmist declares his thanks and praises God: It means that He has made the earth a resting place for you. (Al-Jama'a for the provisions of the Qur'an, c. 1, p. 465, investigation: Ahmed Shaker, House of Knowledge, Egypt) In another verse, Allah says: And We spread out the earth, and it was well-done. We are better than the earth, and better than the earth. The Divine Preface Between the Qur'anic Text and Scientific Truth This deep Quranic depiction is surprisingly consistent with what modern geological science has revealed: that the planet was not habitable in its early days, but went through long and complex stages of formation, including: The Continents Atmosphere modification Removal of toxic gases * Mounting * Climate regulation The emergence of soil and biosphere Composition of energy resources Geological studies have shown that these major transformations took more than 4.6 billion years, during which time the planet was gradually prepared for life, and eventually man. Creation and Extinction: Repeated Cycles in Cosmic Utilization The earth is a place of great change, and the earth is a place of light. God begins creation, then He repeats it, then you will be returned to Him. God created all things in their proper environments, then destroyed them, then recreated them in successive cycles, ending this year with the return of all to Him. Every wave of extinction was, from a religious perspective, part of the divine creation of the earth, not in vain as some Darwinian theories assume, but with an earlier will and appreciation. Cosmic harnessing through the ages This is reinforced by saying: Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth has been ridiculed by you all of it. Divine harnessing is not limited to present-day organisms, but includes even extinct organisms that have contributed in indirect ways to the creation of the environment, such as cleaning the atmosphere, fertilizing the soil, forming coal, oil and gas, and other energy resources that we benefit from today. Miracle Face: Earth has been preparing to become a bed for human activities and transforming it from its first state about four billion and six hundred million years of geological history appear to humans, where the age of the Earth is estimated to be four and a half billion years - since the formation of the Earth from the solar nebula to the present day, and the emergence of life on Earth is linked to the appearance of water on the surface after God spent about one billion and a half years of his life without any face of life, as proven by all field studies. And We have made for you therein a life of stone (Qur’an, verse 20). * The Islamic concept of disagreement in the earth and the associated concepts of the brushes and prepare them for man to ensure that the life of a normal man is linked to a relationship together with his environment without causing harm, so he benefits as a human being from this bed and benefits all living beings. Through this presentation, several important connotations are evident: * The corruption of Darwinian randomness hypotheses: because the preparation of the earth was done in deliberate and orderly stages, not through random coincidences. * Compatibility of modern science with the divine laws in the universe: recent discoveries prove the revelation of a gradual and accurate adaptation. * The Qur'an speaks of the use of the earth for human beings: The Qur’an does not merely refer to the existence of man on earth, but to the fact that the earth was created and prepared in a gradual manner to receive him. Conclusion The facts reached by science in the last two centuries, about the formation and development of the earth, have been contained in concise, accurate, and repeated Qur’anic texts for more than 1400 years, which is evidence of the scientific miracle of the Holy Qur’an, and strengthens the belief in the unity of truth between revelation and the universe. Misunderstandings in Western Translations Despite this depth, we find that some translators – due to their poor knowledge of the cosmological and scientific meanings of the Quranic text – have translated the word “Frasha” into: "Lit" in French "Bed" in English They are translations that weaken meaning, make the verse appear to refer to a “bed of sleep,” while the meaning is deeper and more comprehensive: to prepare the planet with all its components for human settlement.
