Serious studies and researches have been pursued by numerous scientists of different ages to know the causes of the origin, structure and ultimate fate of the Universe including the natural phenomena and the different living and non-living things. As a result of untiring efforts it has become possible to gather significant knowledge of the earth and other planetsof the solar system, other stars besides the sun, other galaxies besides the Milky Way and many other objects of our planet and the sky. Serious and advanced researches are going on to know more about the Universe. There are descriptions of the Universe and of human embryology in some verses of the Islamic Holy Book Al-Qur’an. These descriptions are very brief and indicative in nature.The Holy Qur’an has mentioned the fundamental picture of the Universe, physical laws governing the Universe and its relation with man. It has asked man to study nature and reflect on innumerable signs available in nature to confirm that there is a Creator of all objects and the physical laws governing them and urges man to ponder over the results of findings in order to get a glimpse of the infinite power and scientific talent of the Creator of the Universe. In this book entitled “In search of a Creator” some scientific findings about the Universe obtained as a result of intensive studies and researches have been briefly discussed and the same have been compared with the information available in the Holy Qur’an. Themain topics among others discussed in this book are the earth, the moon, the sun, galaxies, origin of the Universe and its structure, origin of man, etc. Efforts have been made to explain the relevant verses of the Holy Qur’an and compared the same with the available scientific data. It is a great satisfaction that not a single discrepancy has been observed between the Qur’anic revelations and the results of scientific studies. Rather the Holy Book has supported the theories and scientific results obtained so far by the scientists and it is concluded fromvarious angles of view that there is a Creator of the Universe and all living and nonliving objects within it. Of course scientists have not been able to establish the truth or verify the facts about the existence of a Creator, existence of soul, life after death etc. But the Holy Qur’an is not only the supporter of their existence but also strongly advocates believing those as facts. It is also a fact that scientists have limitations in their knowledge and may commiterrors and therefore should change their mindsets and seriously study these fields also. In thatcase the Holy Qur’an would be an authentic guide for them.
