A Critical Study on Article of "Cosmology" from Leiden Encyclopedia

Cosmology discusses about general and evolutionary regulations of the world and its material structure. Studies on galaxies and star's situation, creation of heavens and also the expansion of universe are from the important discussions of this discipline. Roughly talking, this major covers some main purposes such as: verification of (regulator) he who enforces order, divine unity and demonstration of divine majesty, approval of possibility and actuality of resurrection day, persuasion to utilize the nature, declaring the genesis of creation and the quality of formation of creatures, stating order and solidarity of nature, recalling of divine bounties, exhilarating towards thankfulness and explaining of some cosmological facts.The author later points that the value of such cosmological hints and cosmographical reports would be viewed on structural functions in particular framework (Sura). This point should not be left unstated that the Qur’anic cosmological expressions enjoy divine purposes (understanding the creator and creating the motives of thankfulness). Thus it should be noted that the realm of cosmology covers the heavens, earth and sun, moon and other stars and bodies. The creation of human is in that process and apparently the verses and exegetical points pertaining to cosmology are divided. We with a comparative approach try to have our critical remarks declaring the borders of these two subjects and responding the doubts rose in this respect.
