Introduction

Death of a Star
In the Quran Allah(swt) describes when our solar system will come to an end and judgment day will begin. The verse is as follows:
Al-Quran, Chapter 55 Ar-Rahman, Verse 37

In the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful

And when the sky is torn apart and becomes (rosy) red like ointment

1500 years later using the Hubble telescope scientists at NASA discovered how a dying star system looks like (Figure 1).

How could have Mohammed(pbuh) have known about such a fact when such powerful telescopes as the Hubble didn't even exist in those days?

Allah(swt) created the universe and all that it contains and it is he who can best describe such phenomenon with such perfection in his revelation to mankind, yet another proof!
