The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material.  God has said in the Quran:

 Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke...  (Quran, 41:11)

Because the earth and the heavens above (sun, moon, stars, planets, galaxies etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Following that the Quran points to a "Big Bang" or disintegration theory

 Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We cloved it asunder...  (Quran, 21:30)

 “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.”Dr. Kroner ²  (To view the RealPlayer video of this comment click here ).  

“Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.” Dr. Kroner ³  (View the RealPlayer video of this comment ).
