Al-Quran

The relation between Qur'an and science is strongly affirmed in Islamic thought. Almost all sources, classical and modern, agree that the Qur’an encourages the acquisition of science and scientific knowledge.[1]
The contemporary Islamic discourse on the Qur’an and science abounds with assertions of the relationship between the two. This presumed relationship is construed in a variety of ways, the most common of which are the efforts to prove the divine nature of the Qur’an through modern science.[1]
The belief that Qur'an had prophesied scientific theories and discoveries - known as Ijaz al-Qur'an - has become a strong and widespread belief in the contemporary Islamic world. Alleged prophecies are often provided to show a connection between the Qur'an and miracles, and to support the belief of divine origin for the Qur'an.
Qur'an contains many verses describing the universe creation; God created heavens and earth in six ages [7:54], the earth was created in two ages[41:9], and in two other ages (into a total of four) God furnished the creation of the earth with mountains, rivers and fruit-gardens [41:10]. God also created the Seven Heavens, one atop of another. It also states that there was some sort of a massive split between the Heavens and the Earth. The Quran contains many passages on this topic.
