Recently, scientists monitored  one of the stars, which is located on the edge of the visible universe, and because of the explosion  of the star it became possible to see the radiation emitted from it, but does the Quran talk about it? Consider the following..

Scientists monitor the oldest star can be seen so far

In a precedent, which is unprecedented, enabling scientists of space at Harvard University, Edo Berger, from monitoring the explosions of gamma rays released by a giant star older than 13 billion years, making it the oldest thing scientists can see in the history of the universe.

Berger has indicated that the explosion took 10 seconds only, so as to enable scientists to monitor the light output for the explosion, which occurred 13 billion years ago, after the passage of 600 million a year on the origins of the universe.

This star exploded before the passage of 95 per cent of the current age of the universe, and is therefore able to offer something astronomers detects it until today. The star is named GRB 090423, larger than our sun about 30 to 100 times, and when his demise was launched it released a power a million times more than the power of our sun.

This was confirmed by the researcher that scientists long thought that after the universe was born six hundred million years, there was a giant star, but “we needed a proof”, which is available now after the detection of that blast, which occurred before long.

Berger emphasized that in the next few years scientists can determine the age of galaxies at any stage in the life of the universe was formed, and so accurate, thus ending all differences and differing theories on this matter

The blast, which took 13-billion years to reach its rays to the earth, had been monitored by the moon, “Swift” satellite of the Department of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in the observatory “Gemini” Hawaii.

Exploding stars is one of the most certain facts in the universe, and Qur’an tells us about the end of the stars in several verses, in a time when people look at the universe that it is eternal and cannot be eliminated!

Comment on this scientific discovery

we always say that the Koran does not contradict the certainty of science, and everything reveals that scientists should find a Quranic miracles attested to this Qur’an, and was preceded in all scientific areas, which is what we are trying to prove by the scientific substantiation. Therefore, we sum up what can be seen at specific points as follows:

1-The fact that the explosion and the end of the stars tolled by the Quran at the time no one knows anything about this topic, but it was thought that the universe is found,  and will remain so-star and its planets and the sun and moon. But corrected in the Quran says: (and the star when it goes astray what your companion and debauch) [Star: 1-2]. And says: (everything will perish except his face to judge, and to Him you shall return) [Stories: 88].

He also says: (If the stars were blurred) [Mursalat 8:]. In another verse Almighty says: (if the sun * If the stars fall) [altakwer: 1-2].

2- Scientists say that the star exploded 13 billion years ago (Of course, these accounts are calculated by human and the real number is known only by Allah), so the scientists cannot know the location of the star and where its fate, so Allah the Almighty swear by the stars site as a great oath, he said: (I swear by the locations of stars * It is a great oath, if you know * that the Holy Quran)[Alwaqiaa- 75-77].

3- Scientists say that these stars were a way in the past for the guiding people to go at night in the darkness of the desert or the sea, but today, using these stars for guidance to the fact of the universe and its history and its development and it is here where new meaning to the verse: (And the stars they are guided)[ alnahel : 16].

4 – Scientists confirm that, but for these stars was not possible to know the truth and the beginning of the emergence of the universe, and therefore these stars subservient to study, research and discovery, and the Almighty said: (and the stars subservient by His command, His is the creation and commandment Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds) [Alaraaf: 54]. The stars geared to guide people in the night, and geared to them to learn the secrets of the Universe.

5- In space flight and in particular away from the planet fail all the means in orientation, and can go only depending on the stars and their locations, so keep these stars and the way to go in outer space, no matter how developed by the media, and here we find new meaning to the verse: (which is what you make all find the stars in the darkness of the land and sea have detailed Our revelations for people who know) [alanam: 97].

The last prayer is praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds
