Just How Big Is The Universe?

We will soon show them Our Ayats (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.)in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it( the Quran) is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? Soorat Fussilat{41:53}

This is really fascinating - I've never really given this much thought, but it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.

I certainly thought this was enlightening. Didn't even realize we knew much beyond our sun It's a big universe.

Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away.

Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no fault in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; then look again, can you see any disorder? Then look again and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.Soorat Al Mulk{67:3-4}

The universe is so vast it is not comprehensible by the human mind. It would be like an ant trying to understand the wonders of the internet. It can't be done. The Creations of Allah swt humbles us, as it should.

And say: Praise be to Allah, He will show you His signs so that you shall recognize them; nor is your Lord heedless of what you do.Soorat Al Naml {27:93} He has made subject to you the Night and the Day; the sun and the moon; and the stars are in subjection by His Command: verily in this are Signs for men who are wise. Soorat An Nahl {16:12} Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and the moon, but prostrate to Allah, Who created them, if it is Him you wish to serve. Soorat Fussilat {41:37} Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in a sphere.Soorat Yasin{36:40}
