The scientists think that the universe started by the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago and it is still expanding till now. And this is what the Qur'an has preceded the scientists of this age in the saying of Allah (Exalted is He) describing the expansion of the universe: "And the heaven (is also a sign). We have built it with (Our) Hands (i.e., Capability) and surely We are indeed extending (it) wide."

Surat Ath-Thariyat (The Winnowers) verse no.47
