A person was about to die, and before dying he wrote his Will which
went as follows ...
"I have 17 Camels, and I have three sons. Divide my Camels in such a
way,that My eldest son gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3rd of
the total and my youngest son gets 1/9th of the total number of Camels"
After his death when the relatives read his will they got extremely
perplexed and said to each other that how can we divide 17 camels
like
this.
So after a long hard thought they decided that there was only one man
in
Arabia who could help them: "Ali Ibne Abi Taalib."
So they all came to the door of Ali (RATA) and put forward their
problem.
Ali (RATA) said, "Ok. I will divide the camels as per the man's
will."
Ali (RATA) said, "I will lend one of my camels to the total which
makes
it
18 (17+1), now lets divide as per his will"
The Eldest gets 1/2 of 18 = 9
The second one gets 1/3 of 18 = 6
and The Youngest gets 1/9 of 18 = 2
Now the total number of camels = 17
Then Ali (RATA) said, "Now I will take my Camel back"

The Expansion of the Universe
In the Qur'an, which was revealed 14 centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described like this:
"And it is We who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."
(The Qur'an, 51:47)
The word "heaven", as stated in this verse, is used in various places in the Qur'an with the meaning of space and universe. Here again, the word is used with this meaning. In other words, in the Qur'an it is revealed that the universe "expands". And this is the very conclusion that science has reached today.
Until the dawn of the 20th century, the only view prevailing in the world of science was that "the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time". The research, observations, and calculations carried out by means of modern technology, however, have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning, and that it constantly "expands".
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is in constant motion and that it is expanding.
This fact was proved also by observational data in 1929. While observing the sky with a telescope, Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other. A universe where everything constantly moves away from everything else implied a constantly expanding universe. The observations carried out in the following years verified that the universe is constantly expanding. This fact was explained in the Qur'an when that was still unknown to anyone. This is because the Qur'an is the word of God, the Creator, and the Ruler of the entire universe.
The Coming of the Universe Into Existence
The origin of the universe is described in the Qur'an in the following verse:
"He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth."(The Qur'an, 6:101)
This information given in the Qur'an is in full agreement with the findings of contemporary science. The conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came into existence as a result of a great explosion that occurred in no time. This event, known as "The Big Bang" proved that the universe was created from nothingness as the result of the explosion of a single point. Modern scientific circles are in agreement that the Big Bang is the only rational and provable explanation of the beginning of the universe and of how the universe came into being.
Before the Big Bang, there was no such thing as matter. From a condition of non-existence in which neither matter, nor energy, nor even time existed, and which can only be described metaphysically, matter, energy, and time were all created. This fact, only recently discovered by modern physics, was announced to us in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.
The sensitive sensors on board the COBE space satellite which was launched by NASA in 1992, captured evidentiary remnants of the Big Bang. This discovery served as evidence for the Big Bang, which is the scientific explanation of the fact that the universe was created from nothing.

How many light years does it take for the angels or spirit to reach Allah. By Adnan Ahmad - LONDON UK
According to Holy Qur’an Surah Al Ma’arij (The Ascension or Rapture) Chapter 80 verse 4:
“The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure is 50,000 years”
In the light of the Qur’an and modern science I will prove this theory.
It is a fact that light travels 186,000 miles per second, and 1 light year is equivalent to 5,865,696,000,000 miles.
References:
How many seconds are there in 1 year?
A: 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 31,536,000 seconds.
How many seconds in 50000 years?
A: 31,536,000 x 50000 = 1,576,800,000,000 seconds.
If there are 1,576,800,000,000 seconds in 50000 years, and if we multiply this by 186,000 (speed of light in miles/sec)
A: 1,576,800,000,000 x 186,000 = 293,284,800,000,000,000
This means angels and the spirit will cover a total 293,284,800,000,000,000 miles if travelling at the speed of light for 1,576,800,000,000 seconds
If we now divide 293,284,800,000,000,000 miles by the distance light travels in 1 light year, i.e. 5,865,696,000,000 miles
A: 293,284,800,000,000,000 = 50,000
5,865,696,000,000
Therefore it is a fact that it takes 50000 light years for the angels and the spirit to ascend Allah.
Considering it takes 4 light years to reach our nearest star, 50000 light years is a long way away!
All praise to Allah.
