The Big Bang Theory Confirmed*
[21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
*21:30 The Big Bang Theory is now supported by the Creator's infallible mathematical code (Appendix 1). Thus, it is no longer a theory; it is a law, a proven fact.
One of the scientists interviewed made a statement that stuck with me. “We don’t know why it started, and we don’t know why it ended. When the rapid expansion of the big bang slowed down, something happened that dumped a bunch of energy into the universe and created this fireball state. “
I’m thinking this scientist needs to read the Quran.
[51:56] I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone.
We are a speck of dust on a speck of dust. We are totally unimportant to the universe in any possible way you can think of. And yet, we can see the beginning of the universe. This is a gift from God.
[40:57] The creation of the heavens and the earth is even more awesome than the creation of the human being, but most people do not know.
[24:35] GOD is the light of the heavens and the earth. The allegory of His light is that of a concave mirror behind a lamp that is placed inside a glass container. The glass container is like a bright, pearl-like star. The fuel thereof is supplied from a blessed oil-producing tree, that is neither eastern, nor western. Its oil is almost self-radiating; needs no fire to ignite it. Light upon light. GOD guides to His light whomever He wills. GOD thus cites the parables for the people. GOD is fully aware of all things.
And God tells us that in the next life, the real life, there will be light.
[57:12] The day will come when you see the believing men and women with their lights radiating ahead of them and to their right. Good news is yours that, on that day, you will have gardens with flowing streams. You will abide therein forever. This is the great triumph.
May God continue to guide us, shine His light upon us and help us to continue to appreciate His uncountable blessings…a major one being light.

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,
and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great men.
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine.
Plus, the intelligence of a man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?
I am a HABIT!
A habit is a behavior that is repeated regularly and becomes automatic, requiring little to no thought. Habits can be good or bad, and they can affect a person positively or negatively.
Here are some examples of habits: Brushing your teeth, eating a healthy snack, biting your nails, smoking. Habits are developed through repetition and reinforcement, and are learned rather than innate. They can be part of any activity, such as eating, sleeping, thinking, and reacting.
In the military, you develop habits that you do every day: Wake up early, take a run, make your bed. These habits stayed with me for years after I left the military. They were ingrained in me. And these were good habits. If you have a bad habit, you have to condition yourself to break it or change it. Some say that it's easier to break a bad habit by substituting a healthier alternative than quitting cold turkey.
It's easy to get into bad habits. But to get out we need to train ourselves, condition ourselves to something different, something healthier. For example, cooking at home, instead of eating out. If I tried a delicious recipe for home-made spaghetti sauce that is great. Then I can work on doing that again!
For me, a problem is getting to sleep. I’ve tried many things, including the worst one—watching TV. So, I’m trying now to use that time listening to Quran. With our technology, we have Quran beautifully recited on our phones, and we can listen to it any time, including to help us fall asleep.
Being a Submitter, we’re looking for the best habits for our soul, following God’s commandments. Most important, we need to figure out “who is your god?” Appendix 27 of the Authorized English Version of Quran goes into detail. Excerpts and my thoughts follow. Most people who claim to be believers are destined for Hell (12:106).
