The Formation of Stars

This is a picture of cosmic smoke that existed billions of years ago. Scientists state that the stars were marvelously formed from such atoms of smoke to begin lighting with bright colors as if they decorate the sky. Hence, the scientific fact states that the sky was full of smoke at the early stages of the universe creation and then the stars were formed; such stars act as lamps that light everything around them. The holy Qur’an miraculously and precisely reveals this scientific fact fourteen centuries prior to the discovery of scientist; Allah, the exalted says in the holy Qur’an:

“Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: “Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly.” They said: “We do come (together), in willing obedience.”* So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.” Fussilat: 41: 11-12

The above verse talks about the creation of the sky first and then the creation of the stars which are described as lights (the original lamps). We glorify Allah, the almighty who revealed such a precise scientific fact in the holy Qur’an. Isn’t the above verse sufficient evidence that the holy Qur’an in undoubtedly the word of God?
