Sky Building: The word "building" in the language means hermetic structure, and has been mentioned in Arabic poems to describe what is high and stable. This corresponds to recent discoveries about the organized universe
Scientific explanation Scientific explanation of the concept of cosmic buildings in modern science
Scientists’ view of the universe has evolved in recent decades, and they no longer see it as a vast space scattered by galaxies, but instead describe it as a large and organized cosmic structure, spanning billions of light-years, and taking the form of a tight cosmic network. Modern scientific terms are used in this context, including:
Cosmic Web: A huge network of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, distributed within intricate cosmic threads that resemble spider webs.
Cosmic Walls: These are huge clusters of galaxies, forming huge walls spanning hundreds of millions of light years, such as the Great Wall of Hercules and the Great Wall of Sloane.
Cosmic Filaments: filaments of hundreds of galaxies connecting walls and galaxies, the Boston Superstructure is an example.
Cosmic Bridges: Galactic links between two or more galaxy clusters.
Zodiacs and Galaxies: Celestial constellations in space, star clusters seen from Earth as regular geometric shapes, as well as the structure of galaxies with spiral arms.
The role of dark matter and dark energy:
Modern science holds that the “cosmic web” cannot be explained without the presence of dark matter, which makes up 27% of the universe, and acts as a hidden structure connecting galaxies together.
* Dark Energy (68% of the universe) is responsible for accelerating the expansion of the universe, which expands the "construction" without tearing it, which may be indicated by saying: "And the sky built with hands and we are expanders" [Al-Veriyat: 47].
The Cosmic Voids:
The cosmic fabric is not only strands and walls, but also enormous voids devoid of galaxies (such as the "Great Bull Vacuum")
The most accurate term is Large-Scale Structure of the Universe, or the large-scale structure of the universe, sometimes called Cosmic Structure or Cosmic Web. These terms describe how matter (galactic, galaxy clusters, walls, voids...) arranges on massive scales beyond individual galaxies.
What do these terms mean scientifically?
Large-Scale Structure (LSS): refers to the distribution of galaxies and dark matter over very large distances – hundreds of millions to billions of light-years. EBSCO – 2NASA Science
Cosmic Web: refers to the fabric or the cosmic web, which are structures such as filaments, walls, clusters and voids that are connected by these galaxies and dark matter. cfa.harvard.edu?2NASA Science?2
Superclusters: Very large clusters of galaxies that form units of vast cosmic structure. NASA Science&2ned.ipac.caltech.edu&2
*Voids: empty or semi-empty areas between galaxy clusters. EBSCO *2NASA Science *2
The face of scientific miracle in the concept of cosmic construction:
In the last two decades, scientists have confirmed that these structures were not visible or understood at the beginning of astronomy, and can only be detected by 3D monitoring devices and the detection of spectral displacements of light coming from galaxies.
There are several verses in the Qur’an that speak of the creation of the universe.
"And the sky with the loveliest" [Verily: 7]
"Love" in Arabic means finely woven methods, and is used to describe textured textures, which is strictly true of the term "cosmic web" recently discovered by modern science.
Timeline of relevant scientific discoveries:
610: The Holy Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, and the description of the "heaven full of love" in Surah Al-Fraiyat.
7th-19th centuries: Mankind had no conception of the grand structure of the universe, and its conceptions were confined to the limited geographical and physical vision of stars and planets.
1929: Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is expanding, opening the door to studying the distribution of galaxies in the universe.
1970s: The first attempts at 3D mapping of the distribution of galaxies in the universe began.
1989: Launch of the COBE satellite to monitor the radiation background of the universe (CMB), which helped to understand the initial structure of the universe.
1995-2003: Using extensive observations (such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) project), a massive network of galaxies linked by strands of dark matter and plasma, known today as the Cosmic Web, was uncovered.
2004-2014: Scientists understand that the universe is made up of a complex three-dimensional network of "threads," "vacuums," and massive galaxy clusters.
2020: The development of precise digital models of the structure of the universe through supercomputers (such as the Illustris model and Euclid), and the assertion that galaxies are distributed in the form of a textured web similar to "woven fabric", in a striking similarity to the description of the Quranic "love".
This accurate Qur’anic description, which refers to a woven and textured geometric structure, predates modern scientific discovery by centuries. No one knew anything about cosmic structures or “cosmic texture” in the era of the revelation of the Qur’an, nor for centuries after it, which is a miraculous scientific precedent in the Qur’an’s statement.
« C’est Lui qui a fait de la Terre FIRACHA un lieu d’accueil préparé pour vous, et du ciel une construction. » [Al-Baqara : 22]
Arabic (Language warning for translators):
تحذير لغوي للمترجمين: لا يجوز ترجمة قوله تعالى ﴿وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً﴾ بعبارة تُقارب معنى "السقف"، لأن المقصود بـ"السماء" هنا هو الكون كله (The Universe) ببنيته الكونية الواسعة. بينما قوله تعالى: ﴿وَجَعَلْنَا السَّمَاءَ سَقْفًا مَحْفُوظًا﴾ يشير تحديدًا إلى السماء الدنيا أو طبقات الغلاف الجوي المحيطة بالأرض. لذا يجب التفريق بين المصطلحين وعدم الخلط بين المفهوم الكوني والمفهوم الجوي في الترجمة.
Avertissement aux traducteurs : Il est incorrect de traduire « et le ciel comme un toit » pour « وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً », car ici « le ciel » désigne l’ensemble de l’univers (The Universe) avec sa structure cosmique. En revanche, dans « Nous avons fait du ciel un toit protégé », le terme désigne l’atmosphère terrestre ou les cieux proches. Il est donc essentiel de ne pas confondre la dimension cosmique avec la fonction atmosphérique.
(Linguistic Warning for Translators)
Linguistic Warning for Translators: It is incorrect to translate “وَالسَّمَاءَ بِنَاءً” as "and the sky as a roof," because in this verse, “sky” refers to the entire universe (The Universe) as a vast cosmic construction. However, in “We made the sky a protected roof”, the meaning refers specifically to the atmospheric layers surrounding the Earth. Translators must clearly distinguish between the cosmic and atmospheric meanings of “sky” in different verses.
“He who made the earth for you as a bed and the sky as a building.”
