Sheikh
cAbdul-Majeed A. Zindanī presented a number of Qur'ānic verses
describing the beginnings of the universe and of the heavens, and the
relationship of the earth to the heavens. He expressed his astonishment, saying
that the Qur'ān describes the universe as seen from the highest observation
point, everything is distinct and clear.
"I
say, I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in Qur'ān, and
for us modern astronomers have been studying very small piece of the universe.
We have concentrated our efforts for understanding of very small part. Because
by using telescopes, we can see only very few parts of the sky without thinking
about the whole universe. So by reading Qur'ān and by answering to the
questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation of the
universe."
