According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, Quran verse 21:30 describes a foundational cosmic event where the heavens and the earth were once a single, seamless entity, a state described by the Arabic word 'ratqan' (رَتْقًا). Classical commentators like Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir interpreted this as a fused mass that Allah then 'split asunder' ('fataqnahuma' - فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا), enabling the sky to give rain and the earth to produce life. In the modern era, numerous Muslim scholars and scientists, such as Dr. Zaghloul El-Naggar, have highlighted the profound parallel between this classical understanding and the 20th-century Big Bang theory. This contemporary interpretation views the 'ratqan' as the initial singularity—an infinitely dense point containing all matter and energy—and the act of 'fataqnahuma' as the cosmic explosion that initiated the universe's expansion. This perspective is not intended to suggest that classical scholars knew of modern physics, but rather to present the Quran's language as miraculously compatible with scientific discoveries, serving as a timeless sign (ayah) of divine knowledge. This synthesis of classical exegesis and modern scientific observation establishes the verse as a central point of dialogue between faith and reason in Islam.
