The Qur'ân's space imagine

THE QUR'ÂN'S SPACE IMAGINE ABSTRACT Humanity has historically interacted with the universe, and it is observed that this interaction has increased in proportion to humanity's knowledge, imagination, and conceptual power. Studies on this subject are mostly conducted through religious sources and scientific perspectives. The Quran, one of the most studied religious texts from its revelation to the present day, has been frequently re-examined and interpreted by scholars of every era due to its content and expressions. One of these topics is related to the universe. For the last two centuries, with the Islamic world lagging behind the West in science and technology, a scientific approach to exegesis has gained prominence. According to scholars working in this field, many topics revealed through scientific research are directly or indirectly expressed in the Quran. Our study examines the words and expressions in the Quran regarding the creation of the universe, its magnitude, and its meanings for humanity, analyzing them through exegesis sources and specialized works. It reevaluates the findings from the perspective of the Quran. Consequently, the focus is on how the Quran describes the creation, size, and significance of the universe, and the information about celestial bodies contained within it. The study aims to reveal the Quran's conception of space. In the context of a globalized world that is taking shape with new consciousness, Muslims must adapt to new developments using their own dynamics and unique methods. In this regard, it is crucial for Muslim scholars to reinterpret the results reached by science regarding the heavens, earth, and space in light of Quranic meanings. As a result, the Quran's conception of space directs humans to contemplate and discover the purpose of creation, the majesty of the Creator, and the mysteries within the depths of the universe. It has been observed that expressions in the Quran that transcend understanding are conveyed in words that appeal to human comprehension, with many meanings possible for the terms used. Therefore, the universe and its contents have been examined together with the Quranic mode of expression, and the aspects where these expressions align with or diverge from science have been re-evaluated. It is hoped that a journey into the depths of space will contribute to a deeper understanding of human existence and its meaning.
