One of the interpretations obtained from the employment of the second law of thermodynamics to the whole universe is that the universe had a definite entropy in the beginning, since then it has gradually increased. This increase of entropy continues as long as the universe reaches the thermodynamic equilibrium.

With the emphasis on the reality of nature as the representation of the divine science, the Qur'an has put science and religion in a complementary engagement. The purpose of science is to describe and explain the material world. Science and the Qur'an complement each other, that is, understanding the order of nature is preliminary to knowing God, and science is preliminary to understanding the main purposes of Qur'an. In this regard, it can be suggested that the creation of the universe is based on an exact and wonderful order, and today's empirical knowledge play an important role in recognizing the order of the universe.
