Al-Quran and Astronomy

Miracle of Islam
When referring to the sun and moon in the Holy Quran, affirmed that each move in the orbit or a path.

"And He created night and day, sun and moon. Each of them was outstanding in the line path." (Qur'an Sura 21:33) and (Qur'an Sura 21:33). Also mentioned in that paragraph that the sun is not silent, but moving in a certain path: "And sun walks in the the line path (orbit). Such provisions of the Mighty, the Knowing." (Qur'an Sura 36:38) and (Qur'an Sura 36:38).

The facts presented in the Qur'an have been found through astronomical observation in the era of us. According to astronomical calculations of experts, the sun moves with incredible speed that reaches 720 thousand kilometers per hour towards the star Vega in a path called the Solar Apex. This means that the sun moves far more than 17,280,000 kilometers a day. Together with the sun, all the planet and satellite in the solar system gravity also run through this distance. Next, all the stars in the universe is in a similar planned motion.

Miracle of IslamAs other comets in the natural highway, comet Halley, as seen in the side picture, is also moving to follow the orbit or path set. Comet has a special path and move the path of this harmony with the things of heaven another.

The entire universe is filled by the track and path such as this, stated in the Qur'an as follows: "By the sky that have roads." (Al Qur'an, 51:7) (Qur'an, 51:7). There are about 200 billion galaxies in the universe that each consists of nearly 200 stars. Most of the stars have a planet, and most of the planets have moon (satellite). All things are moving in the sky line with a circulation that is very carefully calculated.

During millions of years, each as if "swim" along the lines path in harmony and perfect regularity, together with the other. In addition, a number of comets also move together along the path set for him. Miracle of IslamAll objects in the sky including the planet, the satellites that accompany the planet, stars, and even the galaxy, has an orbit or path their own. All this orbit has been determined based on the great calculation of a very carefully. Who build and maintain order is a perfect God, the Creator of all natural whole.

Path in the universe is not only owned by the object in space. Galaxies is running at incredible speed in a line of the orbit and planned. During this movement, none of the celestial objects that orbit this cut, or collide with another. In fact, some have observed that the number of galaxies meet each other without any one part of the mutual-brush.

Can be ascertained that at the time the Qur'an was revealed, people do not have a telescope of the present or in advanced technology for the spatial distance of millions of kilometers, nor knowledge of modern physics and astronomy. Therefore, when it is not possible to say scientifically that space "filled with track and path" as stated in the paragraph (ayaah). However, this is openly stated to us in the Qur'an that was revealed at the time: because the Qur'an is the word of God.

The Struggles of Prophet Muhammad and His Companions in the Early Days of the Islamic Caliphate

The rise of Islam was not merely the establishment of a religion—it was the birth of a transformative movement that reshaped the spiritual, political, and social fabric of the world. At the center of this monumental change stood Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his devoted companions. The early years of Islam were marked by profound struggle, sacrifice, and perseverance, as they laid the foundation for what would later become the Islamic Caliphate. The Revelation and the Beginning of Opposition In 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) in the Cave of Hira near Mecca. At the time, Mecca was a center of trade, tribalism, and polytheism. The Prophet’s message of monotheism—worshiping one God—directly threatened the socio-economic and religious structure maintained by the Quraysh tribe, the ruling elite of Mecca. When the Prophet began to openly preach Islam, the opposition intensified. He called for justice, equal...

The Message and The Messenger: Why Islam and Prophet Muhammad Are an Inseparable Package

To understand Islam is to understand a fundamental, indivisible bond: the relationship between the divine message and its final messenger. Islam, as a faith and way of life, cannot be separated from the man chosen by God to deliver it, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They are not two distinct elements to be accepted individually; rather, they form a single, complete package. Accepting one inherently means accepting the other. This concept is not merely a matter of reverence for a historical figure. It is woven into the theological fabric of Islam, from its foundational declaration of faith to the daily practices of its followers worldwide. For a Muslim, believing in God (Allah) alone is incomplete without also believing in the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). This article explores the core reasons behind this inseparable connection. 1. The Gateway to Islam: The Shahada The very entry point into the Islamic faith is the declaration known as the Shahada. This testimony, the first of...
