Time relativity
However, the Qur’an had already included information about time’s being relative! Some verses about the subject read:
022.047► وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
… A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years in the way you count. (Qur’an, Al-Hajj -22:47)
032.005 ►يُدَبِّرُ الأمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
He directs the whole affair from heaven to Earth. Then it will again ascend to Him on a day whose length is a thousand years by the way you measure. (Qur’an, As-Sajda -32:5)
070.004► تَعْرُجُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ
The angels and the spirit ascend to Him in a day whose length is fifty thousand years. (Qur’an, Al-Maarij- 70:4)
The fact that the relativity of time is so definitely mentioned in the Qur’an, which began to be revealed in 610, is more evidence that it is a divine book.
