1232It’s the book given by my Islamic Canadian friend-She wanted me to give the resume of the book (here you are @Jualia  – from Indonesia with loving you always)

Part I The fact of creation in the light of scientific evidence
1. From non-being to being
What is the mean of from non-being to being?
Today, on the brink of the 21st century, modern physics has proved with many experiments, observations and calculations that the universe had a beginning and that it was created out of nothing with a big explosion. That the universe had a beginning means that the cosmos was brought into being out of nothing, that is, that is was created. If a created thing exists (which did not exist beforehand), then it certainly should s creator. So from non-being to being theory indicates or means that there is a creator of this universe.
2. The signs in heavens and on the earth
What are signs in heavens and on the earth to show Allah?
Everything, every detail from the atom, the smallest unit of matter, to the galaxies harboring billions of stars, from the moon, an inseparable adjunct to the world, to the solar system, which all work in a perfect harmony. The signs of Allah can be seen from our body, first about the fact that ‘a half developed eye cannot see’, about the army inside the man (phagocytes, macrophages, T cells, memory cells), a system in our body. There are also a lot of examples from the animals and plants such as camouflage.


3. Scientists confirm the signs of Allah
Who are scientists confirm the signs of Allah?
There are many scientists, such as Max Planck, David Darling, Isaac Newton, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), Robert Mattheus, etc.
4. Scientific facts and the miracle of Qur’an
How scientific facts can be related by Qur’an?
There are a lot of scientific facts that showed by Qur’an. Such as a fact that universe keeps expanding, we can find it in Qur’an surat Adh-Dhariyat 47 “And when it is We who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it”.
The Big Bang Theory also recognizes in Qur’an Surat Al Anbiya 30 “Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We clove them asunder, and We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?”
Qur’an also explains about the sun and the moon, orbits, atmosphere, relativity of time, the roundness of the earth, rain, fecundating winds, uniqueness of the fingerprint, the birth of man, etc.

Part II Those who are unable to see the fact of creation
1. Evolution deceit
Why it is called that evolution is a deceit?
Because the evolutionary notion has been cloaked in a scientific disguise for the last century and a half in order to justify itself. Though put forward as a supposedly scientific theory during the mid 19th century, the theory, despite all the best effortsof its advocates, has not so far been verified by any scientific finding or experiment. Indeed, the “very science” on which the theory depends so greatly has demonstrated and continues to demonstrate repeatedly that the theory has no merit in reality.
2. Philosophies that made the mistake of denying Allah
What philosophies that made the mistake?
There is one strong philosophy: materialism, the philosophical view holds that the universe is eternal and operates without any need for a creator. According to atheists, matter is the only power that exists. There also socialism that take part too.
3. The Harms of a society model with no belief in Allah
What will happen if society didn’t believe in Allah?
If society is unaware of Allah, then the order of such a community is basically ruined, corrupt and primitive.
4. The true promised home: the hereafter
What is hereafter?
Hereafter is a stage which has two “homes” . First is hell, a place where man shall get punishment because his wrongdoing. Second, paradise, the place promisedto believers for their belief in Allah and for their devotion to Him.
5. A very different approach to matter
What is the very different approach to matter?
It is a reality that there is no matter in this world. Everything we see, touch, hear, and perceive as “matter”, “the world” or “the universe” is only electrical signals occurring in our brain. The really world that really exists is the world of perceptions. So, matter is composed only of sensations. And the only real absolute being is Allah. That means that only Allah is; all things except Him are shadow beings.
6. Relativity of time and the reality of fate
What is the explaining the relativity of time and the reality of fate?
The information we have about the rate of passage of time is based on relative references, Einstein’s theory of General Relativity maintains that the speed of time changes depending on the speed of the object and its position in the gravitational field. As speed increases, time is shortened and compressed: it slows down as if coming to the point of “stopping”. This relativity of time clears up a very important matter. Relativity is so variable that a period appearing billions of years’ duration to us may last only a second in another perspective. Moreover, an enormous period of time extending from the world’s beginning to its end may not even last a second but just an instant in another dimension. This is the very essence of the concept of destiny. Destiny is Allah’s perfect knowledge of all events past or future. A majority of people question how Allah can already know events that have not yet been experienced and this leads them to fail in understanding the authenticity of destiny. However, “events not yet experienced” are only so for us. Allah is not bound by time or space for He Himself has created them. For this reason, past, future, and present are all the same to Allah; for Him everything has already taken place and finished.
