World of modern science at the beginning of the 20th century AD made astonished by the discovery of a German scientist named Albert Einstein. German physicist that in 1905 published his special theory of relativity (special relativity theory). A decade later, Einstein was asked Time magazine as the figures of the twentieth century that sparked the theory of general relativity (general relativity theory).
The theory of relativity was formulated as E = mc2. The formula is so popular relativitasyang theory states that the speed of light is constant. Theory of special relativity which Einstein expressed regarding the content and the light that moves at breakneck speed.
Meanwhile, the theory of general relativity states, each item of mass causes spacetime is curved around (wrap geodetic effect). Through the theory of relativity that Einstein explained that electromagnetic waves are not in accordance with Newton's theory of motion. Proved electromagnetic waves moving at a constant, independent of the motion of the observer.
The core idea is the theory states that two observers moving relative to each will get the time and space intervals are different for the same event. Even so, the content will look the same physical laws by both. With the discovery of relativity theory, humans could explain the properties of matter and the structure of the universe.
"It was first I got the idea to build the theory of relativity around the year 1905. I can not say exactly where the idea of this kind arise, but I believe this idea comes from the optical problems on moving objects, "Einstein said when delivering a public lecture in front of Kyoto Imperial University students on December 4, 1922.
Is it true originator of the theory of relativity Einstein's first? In the West itself there is no doubt that the theory of relativity Einstein first discovered. For, Some argue that the theory of relativity was first proposed by Galileo Galilei in his work entitled Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems' s in the year 1632.

Theory of relativity is the revolution of the mathematical sciences and physics. Indeed, 1,100 years before Einstein's theory of relativity sparked, Muslim scientists in the 9th century AD have been laying the foundations of relativity theory. Is a legendary scientist and philosopher named Al-Kindi who sparked the theory.
Surely not surprising that the great scientist of the caliber of Al-Kindi's theory has sparked in the 9th century AD Moreover, scientists born in Kufa in 801 AD it must have good command of the holy book the Koran. Because, no doubt if the verses of the Koran contains the absolute knowledge and always be a shroud of secrecy covering the key nature of this universe.
Aya from the Koran that is so amazing is that encouraging Muslim scientists in the golden era can lay the foundations of modern science. Unfortunately, the works and the thinking of Muslim scientists in the fields of science and technology have closed-tutpi in ways that are very bad.
In Al-Falsafa al-Ula, a scientist whose full name is Yusuf Ibn Ishaq Al-Kindi has revealed the fundamentals of the theory of relativity. Unfortunately, very few Muslims who know it. Thus, the brainchild of a brilliant era of the Islamic Caliphate was drowning everlasting.

According to Al-Kindi, the physical earth and all the physical phenomena is relative. Relativity, he said, is the essence of the law of existence. "Time, space, movement, things are all relative, and not absolute," said Al-Kindi. However, Western scientists such as Galileo, Descartes and Newton consider all phenomena as something absolute. Only Einstein who disagree with Al-Kindi.
"Time only exist with movement; objects, by movement; motion, with the object," said Al-Kindi. Furthermore, Al-Kindi said, "... if there is movement, there needs to objects; if there is an object, there need to move. "Al-Kindi's statement asserts that all physical phenomena are relative to one another. They are also independent and not absolute.
The idea expressed by Al-Kindi was very similar to what is disclosed in the Einstein theory of general relativity. "Before the theory of relativity was initiated, classical physics has always considered that time is absolute," said Einstein in La Relativite. According to Einstein, the fact that the opinion expressed by Galileo, Descartes and Newton did not fit the definition of the actual time.
According to Al-Kindi, objects, time, movement and space not only relative to one another, but also to other objects and observers who monitor them. Al-Kindi's opinion as to what Einstein disclosed.
In Al-Falsafa al-Ula, Al-Kindi exemplifies someone who sees an object whose size is smaller or larger according to the vertical movement between earth and sky. If the person is up to the sky, he saw the smaller trees, if he moves into the earth, he saw the trees become larger.
"We can not say that something is small or large in absolute terms. But we can say that smaller or larger in relation to another object, "said Al-Kindi. Einstein expressed the same conclusion some 11 centuries after the death of Al-Kindi.

According to Einstein, there is no absolute law in the legal sense is not bound to the observer. A law, he said, should be demonstrated through the measurement. Al-Kindi stated, all physical phenomena, like the man himself is a relative and limited.
Although every individual human being infinite in number and sustainability, they are limited, time, movement, objects, space is also limited. Einstein once again embracing statement that Al-Kindi flung in the 11th century AD "The existence of this world is limited, despite the existence of the infinite," said Einstein.
With that theory, Al-Kindi was just trying to explain all physical phenomena. However, he also proved the existence of God, because it is a logical consequence of his theory. At the end of his life, Einstein even acknowledged the existence of God. Theory of relativity revealed two different scientists of the time it's basically the same. It's just that, an explanation has been proved Einstein very carefully.
In fact, the theory of relativity has been used for the development of energy, atomic bombs and nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, Al-Kindi said his theory was to prove the existence of God and unity. Unfortunately, the brilliant mind of the Muslim scientist's theory of relativity was not widely known.

Relativity in the Quran
The natural universe has always been shrouded in mystery. The Book of the Holy Quran was revealed to mankind is the key. Allah SWT has promised that the Koran is the guide of life for people who bertakqwa. To unlock the mysteries of the universe's blanket, the divine order for man to think.
Here are some verses of the Koran that proves the theory of relativity:
".... A day with your Lord is as a thousand years of those years which you count." (Surah: Al-Hajj: 47).
"He set the affair from heaven to earth, then the (business) it's up to him his day in a single measure (length) is a thousand years of your reckoning." (Qs: As-Sajda: 5).
"That comes from God, who have places up. The angels and Gabriel up (face) to the Lord in the day that measure fifty thousand years." (QS :70:3-4).
"And you see those mountains, you would have thought he was still in place. Though he is running as the way the clouds. (That's) act of God that makes a sturdy all things; surely Allah is Aware of what ye do. "(Surah An-Naml: 88).
"He will say: 'How many years did you live on earth?' They said: 'We stay (on earth) a day or half day, but ask the people who count.' He said: 'You do not stay (on earth) but briefly, if you really know'. " (Qur'an: 23:122-114)
Because the truth of the Koran, the end of his life Einstein supposedly secretly have also embraced Islam. In an paper, Einstein acknowledged the truth of the Koran. "The Qur'an is not a book such as algebra or geometry. However, the Qur'an is a collection of rules that guide mankind to the true path. The road can not be denied the great philosopher, "said Einstein. Wallahualam ...
Wow. .....very surprising and informative article
