Where did the Heavens and the earth come from?

have you ever looked at the sky at night? what did you see?

 you may have seen the moon, round like a ball or thin like the tip of a finger nail. by its changes we can count the days of the month.

 you may also have seen thousands of millions of stars in the sky. if you tried to count them all, you would never finish. 

every day we see the sun rise in the east and set in the west. with its morning light we get up. by its light we see to do our work. with its light and warmth the plants grow and the fruits ripen. the animals also wake up when the sun rises and go out to find their food.

the sun is like a great fire in the sky, lighting and warming our earth.

have you ever wondered where the sun, the moon, the stars and the earth came from?

this is an important question. did anybody make them? or did they make themselves?

does the sun have a brain? could it have made itself? could it set itself on fire?

does the moon have a brain? could it know how to make itself look fat and thin every month?

does the earth have a brain? does it know how to produce the air and the water, the plants and the animals?

we know that the sun and the moon, the earth and the stars do not have a brain. they could not make themselves. if they did not make themselves, then who made them?

the name of the maker of the heavens and the earth is

the qur’an says in surah 25, verse 61:

‘blessed is he who made the great groups of stars in the skies, and placed therein a (radiant) lamp and a moon giving light.’

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاء بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا
