THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE QUR'AN ON THE RELATIVITY OF SPACE AND TIME IN PHYSICS

Abstract

This study examines the concept of the relativity of space and time in the Quran from Einstein's theory of relativity. The study focusses on the concept of relative time long before modern scientific discoveries, highlighting the harmonious relationship between scientific findings and religious perspectives. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyse literature and finds that time is relative, influenced by the observer's frame of reference, in line with the principles of relativity. According to relativity theory, time can change from one inertial system to another. This means that time is not something absolute, but rather relative to the observer who is making the observation. Relative motion influences the relativity of time.
