What if the origins of the universe—light, energy, consciousness, and even time—were already explained in the Qur’an, waiting to be rediscovered?
Decoding Creation: Through the Light of the Qur’an and Modern Science is a compelling and thought-provoking exploration that bridges classical Islamic theology with the language of modern physics and cosmology. This book invites readers to a fresh and spiritually enriching understanding of the cosmos, grounded in divine revelation and supported by scientific insight.
Rather than presenting creation as a series of disconnected events, this book offers a cohesive narrative in which light, fire, smoke, clay, and the soul are not just substances, but sacred stages in a divinely orchestrated sequence. From the timeless existence of Allah, who precedes all matter and dimension, to the formation of angels from primordial light and the jinn from smokeless fire, each chapter reveals a deeper harmony between the seen and unseen realms.
Drawing from over 70 verses of the Qur’an and authentic Hadiths, the book illuminates how the divine command “Kun Fayakoon” ("Be, and it is") initiated the universe—not through chaos or accident, but through wisdom, order, and mercy. The narrative moves beyond philosophical abstraction and myth, rooting each phase of creation in the spiritual language of revelation while also reflecting on parallels from modern cosmology—such as the compression of space, the role of energy, the behavior of light, and the formation of matter.
A Qur’an-based cosmology that begins with the light of divine intent—not particles or chance.
The creation of angels from pure light, their nature, roles, and obedience as reflections of divine will.
The emergence of jinn from intense, smokeless fire, their free will, dual nature, and parallels to human beings.
The transition from light to fire, from fire to smoke, then to dust and clay—an unfolding blueprint of how the Earth and life were prepared.
The molding of Adam from clay, the divine breath that animated the soul, and the unique spiritual responsibility given to humankind.
The inner dimensions of existence: the Ghayb (unseen realms), the soul (nafs), divine decree (qadar), and the eternal return to Allah.
Insights from modern science—such as the energy-matter transformation, quantum fields, and gravity—viewed through an Islamic metaphysical lens.
Unlike books that treat science and religion as rivals, Decoding Creation shows that the Qur’an anticipated the great questions of existence long before telescopes and particle colliders. It does not seek to prove the Qur’an through science, but to uncover how both point toward a unified reality that affirms the wisdom of the Creator.
Who is this book for?
Readers seeking a spiritually grounded yet intellectually satisfying perspective on creation.
Muslims looking to deepen their understanding of the Qur’anic cosmology beyond traditional summaries.
Students of science and philosophy curious about Islam’s metaphysical worldview.
Educators and scholars interested in the intersection of theology, metaphysics, and physics.
With clear language, rich Qur’anic references, and a sense of reverence for both revelation and reason, Decoding Creation offers not only knowledge—but awe. It invites every reader to reflect on their origin, their purpose, and their ultimate return to the Source of all light.
What if the secrets of creation weren’t hidden—but misunderstood?
The Evolution of Light offers a groundbreaking journey through time, space, and divine intent—blending Qur’anic revelation with modern scientific discovery to unravel the cosmic narrative behind existence itself.
From the formation of angels from compressed light, to the emergence of devils from cooling fire, and the eventual rise of humanity from clay, this book bridges ancient wisdom and quantum physics to explore the unseen architecture of our universe.
Beautifully structured and deeply thought-provoking, The Evolution of Light challenges the boundaries between science and spirituality, offering readers a unified theory of creation rooted in both faith and reason.
Whether you're a seeker of truth, a student of cosmology, or someone curious about the divine logic behind the physical world, this book invites you to see creation not as chaos—but as carefully orchestrated light, guided by the will of Allah.
The Evolution of Light blends science and mythology to explore the origins of the universe through a new lens. From the birth of light and the creation of angels, to the emergence of fire and the rebellious nature of devils, author Palma weaves ancient spiritual narratives with modern cosmology. This thought-provoking book reveals how light, fire, and consciousness shape the cosmos—and us. A poetic journey through quantum physics, sacred texts, and the mystery of existence.
