Quantum Physics in Islam

Quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels, has changed our understanding of nature. Quantum physics in Islam is a new field that examines how Islamic theology and science intersect. 

Islamic scholars have contributed to physics for centuries. The Qur'an contains many verses about nature and science. It describes the creation of the universe, the stars, and galaxies, which can be related to the Big Bang theory and cosmology. Some contemporary Muslim scholars have explored the relationship between quantum physics and Islamic theology. They claim that quantum physics' wave-particle duality and uncertainty principle reflects the Islamic concept of tawhid (God's oneness) and that everything is interconnected and interdependent.


Some scholars have also suggested that quantum entanglement, which states that particles can be connected so that the state of one particle can instantaneously affect the state of another particle regardless of distance, shows the Islamic concept of creation's unity. 


However, some scientists and scholars disagree on Quranic interpretation and quantum physics in Islam. They say the Quran's teachings are metaphorical and shouldn't be used to explain science.


In conclusion, quantum physics in Islam is a relatively new phenomenon that examines the relationship between Islamic theology and this field of science. Some modern Muslim scholars argue that quantum physics principles reflect Islamic concepts like tawhid and the unity of creation. However, scientists and scholars continue to disagree and debate on how to interpret the Quran and whether to apply the laws of quantum physics to Islam.
