description: This Book " Modern Cosmology and the Quran " has, among other things, three mainobjectives, namely; (1) To prove the existence of God, the Creator of the whole Universe,(2) To confirm the Authenticity of the Quran, and (3) the need for religious harmonybetween Monotheistic Religions.The Quran has mentioned many signs in Nature which point to the existence of God andHis Power. God insistently appeals to people to travel in the Earth and Heavens to seek andknow His creative power, and to see how He has created every thing in the physicalUniverse accurately and with proportion, to look into Nature and examine the life formsand their activities, to contemplate upon the celestial bodies and the system that governs.them,and to examine the scientific signs and allusions revealed in the Quran. The principal aimis to incite the human being to reflect on the works of the creation as evidence of theGreat Creator of the Universe, and to ensure that the scientific phenomena revealed in theQuran fourteen centuries ago are perfectly in conformity with modern knowledge. Whenpeople perceive this, they come to know more deeply the beauty and splendour of theCreator''s system and the infinitude of His Might.Regarding this fact, God says in the " .... Travel in the land and see how God originated the creation" (Surah 29, verse 20)." Verily, in the Heavens and the Earth are signs for those who believe"(Surah 45,verse 3)." It is the work of God Who perfected all things" (Surah 3,verse 190).
