Astrophysics and The Holy Quran

Astrophysics and the Holy Quran by Prof. Abdul Rashid Khan is an English book published by Darussalam Publishers that explores the deep questions of cosmology and creation through both scientific and Qur’anic lenses. Rather than being a textbook on physics alone, this book bridges astrophysical concepts with relevant Qur’anic verses, helping readers reflect on fundamental issues such as the origin and evolution of the universe, the nature of time, black holes, the forces of nature, and humanity’s place in existence. The author uses accessible explanations of complex scientific ideas alongside the Qur’an’s descriptions to encourage thoughtful contemplation of how revealed guidance and observed phenomena can inform each other. This work is aimed at learners who want to deepen their understanding of the universe while connecting it to spiritual and scriptural reflection.
