A Moving Leaf

When we travel to a forest, mountain, or a village there are still a lot of trees, of course we will not loose sight of trees, grass, leaves, and other natural phenomena. The following story is a true story witnessed by Ustadz Sharif Suhendar and Saeful Rohman (Master SAE) when traveling to one location in Rancaupas Bandung West Java Indonesia.

They watched a leaf that does not stop moving even though there was no wind. This is different from other leaves that only move when there was a breeze that touches the leaves. The leaf could also be held for a while, but after being released, the leaf is moving back to normal (moving on without stopping).

Although no direct research on this incident but based on modern science, it can certainly be a normal phenomenon just like the theory of aero dynamics. A Muslim may claim that it is (a moving leaf) is one of power and miracles of God, but only within reasonable limits as a form of self-introspection of obedience to Allah. Do not let this incident make calamity by making the leaf as offerings or by performing special worship and prayer around the leaf.

A Muslim must make natural phenomena like that to further examine the science to support, develop, and improve the technology without leaving obedience to God.

Index Al-Quran

Wikipedia The words of the Qur’an are primarily divided by chapter (surah) and verse (ayat). The chapters vary in length, and generally are ordered from longest to shortest. To ease the reading process, the Qur’an is additionally divided into 30 equal sections, called a juz' (plural: ajiza). The divisions of juz' do not fall evenly along chapter lines, and often break from one section to another in the middle of a chapter. These divisions are done to make it easier for one to pace the reading over a month’s period, reading a fairly equal amount each day. This is particularly important during the month of Ramadan, when it is recommended to complete at least one full reading of the Qur’an from cover to cover. Below is a listing of the 30 Ajiza of the Qur’an, with links to further information about the chapters, verses, and themes of each section of the Holy Book.

Al-Quran and Astronomy

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, al...
