Science - Formation of the celestial bodies from smoke

Scientists today are able to observe the formation of stars from a hot gas cloud. Formation from a warm mass of gas also applies to the creation of the universe.   According to NASA, "When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun".

Qur'an - Formation of the celestial bodies from smoke

Verse 41:10-11 describes how the celestial bodies are formed.  The Holy Qur'an eloquently uses the word "smoke" to describe the initial stage.  Smoke represents gases and particles.  Therefore, the verse is stating that they are formed from gases and particles (space dust).  However, this scientific fact was not known until the 20th century.

ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ٱئْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَآ أَتَيْنَا طَآئِعِينَ



Moreover, He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience." 41:11
