" WHY ASTRONOMY ? "
Many people ask me that I'm choosing Physics for my future? My simple answer to
them is : "I want to get closer to God" that's why, but not in an ordinary way
that every Muslim does. I want to know God's thoughts in a mathematical way and
Physics will play a role like a bridge in getting me closer to god. This subject means
a lot to me because we were born into a mystery one that has haunted us since as
long as we've been humans and by studying this subject we can solve this mystery.
But the main thing that I shouldn't forget as a muslim is that knowing the existence
of God isn't enough. I will have to prove it to the whole world, to those people who
just reject His existence on the basis of scientific research. I know it's not easy but
for us, for muslims it's not that difficult because we have something whose every
word gives evidence of the existence of omnipotent God which is, The Holy
Quran.
Today, the modern men have blindfolded belief in everything which science
showcases. If I'm determined to prove that the words of Holy Quran do states the
Allah the Exalted 's message then the best way for me to do this is through
Astronomy.
Astronomy gives us a chance to study " the things" which have been here with us
since the creation of our home. In the world of Astronomy , the most weird wonders
are stars, which we see them every night but we don't care to observe them, how
exquisite they are. These stars have seen every era, every war and even the
slightest change that has been made to this pale blue dot (The Earth) either
naturally or as a result of human doings. The reason why I'm passionate towards
Astronomy is because it compels my soul to look upward and leads me from this
world to another. Watching the sky full stars is a some sort of meditation for me. It
enhances my power of imagination.
Through out the life , we always have admired someone so much that at one point
we decide not to become like them but more better then them. In my life , there is
someone who has been my inspiration since I started dreaming and had discovered
some special skills inside me and that was our "Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H).
The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) had a knowledge of the unknown world. He (P.B.U.H) had
made numerous scientific statements that couldn't possibly have been verified in
seventh century Arabia, but which the modern science confirms.
Fourteen centuries of growth in human knowledge, through continuous research in
science and advancement in technology has shown that whatever the Holy Quran
has stated about the mysteries of the complex nature is alwys true. For instance
Quran describes the origin of the universe as one entity :
