One of the main theories explaining its origin is the Big Bang Theory, which states that the universe began from a very dense and hot point and then expanded.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Qur\u2019an, this concept is in line with the verse stating that the heavens and the earth were once a single entity and then separated:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span class=\"__className_8a198f text-4xl lg:text-5xl leading-relaxed lg:leading-relaxed text-right\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0627\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0645\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u0631\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0646\u064e \u0643\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0653\u0627 \u0627\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0645\u0670\u0648\u0670\u062a\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0627\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u064e \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0627 \u0631\u064e\u062a\u0652\u0642\u064b\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0641\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0642\u0652\u0646\u0670\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0627\u06d7 \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0627\u06e4\u0621\u0650 \u0643\u064f\u0644\u0651\u064e \u0634\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0621\u064d \u062d\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064d\u06d7 \u0627\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0646\u064e\u00a0<span class=\"text-secondary-500 dark:text-secondary-300\">\u06dd\u0663\u0660<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span>Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were \u02f9once\u02fa one mass then We split them apart?
