The Future of the Universe
Quran 75:3-12
Does man think that We will not assemble his bones? Yes. [We are] Able [even] to proportion his fingertips. But man desires to continue in sin, He asks, “When is the Day of Resurrection?
Quran 69:13-
Then when the Horn is blown with one blast, And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow – Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur, And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm, And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them], That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
Quran 75:7-12
So when vision is dazzled, And the moon darkens, And the sun and the moon are joined, Man will say on that Day, “Where is the [place of] escape?” No! There is no refuge, To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence.
81:1-2 | Quran 75:8
When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness] – And when the stars fall, dispersing – And the moon darkens.
Quran 82:1-2 | Quran 81:1-3
When the sky breaks apart – And when the stars fall, scattering – When the sky has split [open] And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] And when the earth has been extended.
Quran 70:6-9
Indeed, they see it [as] distant, But We see it [as] near, On the Day the sky will be like murky oil, And the mountains will be like wool, i.e., in the process of disintegration.
Quran 21:104
The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
Quran 36:76-77
Does man not consider that We created him from a [mere] sperm-drop – then at once he is a clear adversary? And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?”
Quran 36:79-83
Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing – [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is.
Quran 36:83
So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.
Quran 14:49-51
And you will see the criminals that Day bound together in shackles, Their garments of liquid pitch and their faces covered by the Fire. So that Allah will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allah is swift in account.
Quran 79:6-14
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation], There will follow it the subsequent [one], Hearts, that Day, will tremble, Their eyes humbled, They are [presently] saying, “Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]? Even if we should be decayed bones? They say, “That, then, would be a losing return.” Indeed, it will be but one shout, And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth’s surface.
Quran 14:52
This [Qur’an] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby and that they may know that He is but one God and that those of understanding will be reminded.
Quran 20:15
Indeed, the Hour is coming – I almost conceal it – so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.
What is the Shape of Universe ?
Quran 21:104
The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
- The simplest version of the inflationary theory, an extension of the Big Bang theory, predicts that the density of the universe is very close to the critical density, and that the geometry of the universe is flat, like a sheet of paper.

Three Ways That Our Universe Might End
- There are three possibilities to how the universe could end: Big Rip, Big Crunch or Big Chill & Big Bounce. According to Universe Today NASA recently ruled out the first scenario No Big Rip. This leaves the universe with only Three possible endings: Big Crunch or Big Chill & Big Bounce.
The Big Crunch: The End of Our Universe?
It tells us that the Universe’s expansion, which is due to the Big Bang, will not continue forever. Instead, at a certain point in time, it will stop expanding and collapse into itself, pulling everything with it until it eventually turns into the biggest black hole ever. Well, we all know how everything is squeezed when in that hole. Hence the name Big Crunch.

In the Quran God promises to make the Big Crunch
Quran 7:187
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It Weight heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly.” They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah , but most of the people do not know.
- The Quran used the term “weighs ثَقُلَتْ ” which means by gravity. But from General Relativity we know that gravity is curvature of spacetime. We also know that wormholes are equivalent to folding spacetime like a Scroll
Quran 21:104
The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
- In this verse God promises to make this Big Crunch however by folding the heaven like a Scroll
So in one verse God promises to make the Big Crunch by gravity and in another verse by folding spacetime like a book. Since both verses are the same then in the Quran gravity is curvature of spacetime.
This Big Crunch will begin and end before you can blink
Quran 16:77
And to Allah belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
After this Big Crunch is over, God promises in Quran Verse 21:104 to recreate those heavens and Earth once more before Judgment Day.
Quran 21:104
The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.
Quran 14:48
[It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come out before Allah , the One, the Prevailing.
Quran 36:81:83
Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator, His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is, So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.
- According to Science At the end of the big crunch, nothing would remain but a super-hot, super-dense singularity, or the seed of another universe. Many astronomers think the seed would germinate in a “big bounce,” starting the whole process over again.

How the Big Rip could end the world ?
If the Big Rip theory is correct, one day we could reach a moment when planets and everything on them will be torn apart. Then the atomic and molecular forces will be ripped open, electrons splitting from atoms, all the way down to the quarks and anything smaller. But until then, check out his video for more on the Big Rip

What is the Big Freeze ?
The Big Freeze, which is also known as the Heat Death, is one of the possible scenarios predicted by scientists in which the Universe may end. It is a direct consequence of an ever expanding universe. The most telling evidences, such as those that indicate an increasing rate of expansion in regions farthest from us, support this theory. As such, it is the most widely accepted model pertaining to our universe’s ultimate fate. The term Heat Death comes from the idea that, in an isolated system (the Universe being a very big example), the entropy will continuously increase until it reaches a maximum value. The moment that happens, heat in the system will be evenly distributed, allowing no room for usable energy (or heat) to exist – hence the term �?heat death’. That means, mechanical motion within the system will no longer be possible.

Is science 100% certain that this will happen one day?
Scientists do not know their own destiny; rather, they share their thoughts based on research, and propose what is most likely to occur. However, as believers in the Quran, we adhere to the final declaration from Almighty God that everything will eventually come to an end.
Additional Information
The Quran is considered to be a book of miracles due to its perceived ability to provide guidance, wisdom, and predict future events. Its eloquence and literary beauty are also considered to be miracles by many. Additionally, Muslims believe that the Quran contains scientific information that was not known at the time it was revealed and that this is evidence of its divine origin. This includes information on embryology, astronomy, and other fields of science, Muslims believe that the Quran’s preservation and the fact that it has remained unchanged for over 1400 years also constitutes a miracle.
