Do muslims believe in the big bang?

Muslims believe that God created the universe, and Islam has no quarrel with describing how that creation unfolded. A Muslim may accept that the universe began in a great expansion; what Islam insists on is the question that such a description leaves open. If the universe grew from a primordial cloud of matter, that cloud had to come from somewhere, and it contained enough matter to form billions of galaxies. So who, or what, made it? The Islamic answer is that creation points to a Creator, just as a painting points to a painter and a sculpture to a sculptor. Scientific theories can explain the mechanism; they cannot explain why anything exists at all, or where the human soul comes from. The article “The Big Questions” by Dr Laurence Brown puts this reasoning in plain terms.
