Time relativity
Today,
the relativity of time is a proven scientific fact. This was revealed
by Einstein’s theory of relativity during the early part of the 20th
century. Until then, it was not known that time was relative, nor that
it could change according to the circumstances. Yet, the renowned
scientist Albert Einstein proved this fact by discovering the theory of
relativity. He showed that time is dependent on mass and velocity.However, the Qur’an had already included information about time’s being relative! Some verses about the subject read:
022.047► وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
… A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years in the way you count. (Qur’an, Al-Hajj -22:47)
032.005 ►يُدَبِّرُ الأمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
He directs the whole affair from heaven to Earth. Then it will again ascend to Him on a day whose length is a thousand years by the way you measure. (Qur’an, As-Sajda -32:5)
070.004► تَعْرُجُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
The angels and the spirit ascend to Him in a day whose length is fifty thousand years. (Qur’an, Al-Maarij- 70:4)
The fact that the relativity of time is so definitely mentioned in the Qur’an, which began to be revealed in 610, is more evidence that it is a divine book.
