THE RELATIVITY OF TIME
Today,
the relativity of time is a proven scientific fact. This was revealed
by Einstein's theory of relativity during the early part of the
20th century. Until then, it was not known that time was relative,
nor that it could change according to the circumstances. Yet, the
renowned scientist Albert Einstein proved this fact by discovering
the theory of relativity. He showed that time is dependent on mass
and velocity.
However, the Qur'an had already included information about time's
being relative! Some verses about the subject read:
… A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand
years in the way you count. (Qur'an, 22:47)
He directs the whole affair from heaven to earth.
Then it will again ascend to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand
years by the way you measure. (Qur'an, 32:5)
The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a
day whose length is fifty thousand years. (Qur'an, 70:4)
The fact that the relativity of time is so definitely mentioned
in the Qur'an, which began to be revealed in 610, is more evidence
that it is a divine book.
