November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Reflections on the Quran

The fact that the sun is not stationary has already been confirmed in the Noble Quran.

"It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit."  36:40 Ya Sin.

The Noble Quran mentions about the sun and the moon, each "floating in an orbit."  Until very recent times, many people with basic knowledge of astronomy found this statement confusing and contradictory with modern astronomical discoveries.  Everyone in the modern world carried the notion that the sun is static.  But according to the latest findings as recently as the late 1970s or early 1980s in regard to calculations of experts in astronomy, the sun is not at all stationary.  It travels at a speed 486,000 miles per hour.  That means, along with the sun our entire solar system moves at some 9,000 miles every minute consistent with the gravitational force between the heavenly bodies!    

According to other astronomical calculations, the sun and its family of planets are orbiting the galaxy at about 135 miles per second.

The sun circles the Milky Way at a speed of about 486,000 miles per hour

Check the interesting table giving details about the speed of the sun.

In reply to a query "Does the sun move in space?" quoting the reply from website Cool Cosmos - ask an astronomer: "Yes, the Sun does move in space. The Sun and the entire Solar System revolve around the center of our own Galaxy - the Milky Way."

Quoting NASA Science (Solar System Exploration) "The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, bringing with it the planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in our solar system. Our solar system is moving with an average velocity of 450,000 miles per hour (720,000 kilometers per hour). But even at this speed, it takes about 230 million years for the Sun to make one complete trip around the Milky Way."

As it gradually became known much after the 7th century, the entire universe is too vast and full of celestial bodies outside of our solar system.  Thus, very much confirming the Quranic statement, the "sky full of paths and orbits."

The same concept that the sun is not stationary is also mentioned in Verse 14:33 of Surah Ibraheem. 

"And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, constant in their courses [in orbit], to be of service unto you, and has made of service unto you the night and the day."  14:33  Ibraheem.

It may amaze you but it's true that the complete knowledge of the movement of the sun was confirmed by astronomical scientists at late as the 1980s.   Many Islamophobic circles throughout the 1900s (particularly the second half of 1900s) ridiculed the Quranic Verses that asserted this fact 1,442 years earlier.   Those same ridiculing clowns are now silent.

Praise be to the Almighty Allah.

Alhamdulilah.  Reading the wonders of Allah is one thing.  Actually reflecting and trying to comprehend it is quite another thing.  Really really amazing! 

And the milky way is so infinite, I read somewhere that the sun takes more than 200 million years to complete one circle around this milky way!  Hence, the Almighty God says in the Quran "The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind but most of mankind know not."  Alhamdulilah.

Thanks for the posting sis.

Interesting information a sister sent me on email about this piece ..


Quote:
"Humdulillah.  Good stuff, masha Allah.  I've been doing some research on Eclipses lately.  Did you know the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon AND 400 times further away from the earth.  Thus the reason why we have perfect eclipses on earth... the only planet, moon, sun ratio known to man where this occurs.  A perfect eclipse lasts for 51 seconds.  Sura 51 ayat 49 is ROUGHLY interpreted to "Allah has created pairs for all to see so that they may remember".  Coincidence? I think not.
 
Peace and blessings"

Indeed, the Quranic descriptions of many of the wonders of Allah (The Highest) are truly amazing. 
 
I too am very intrigued by the universe.  It gives me a feeling of greater closeness to Allah.
 
Of course, sun is much farther than the moon in relation to the earth.  If the sun had been anyway as close to us as the moon, our earth would have melted long ago.  I think, the approximate distance between earth and sun is 93,000,000 (93 million) miles.  Compared to that, moon is 238,850 miles from the earth approximately.  Also, sun's diameter is about 864,938 miles which is said to be 10 times bigger than Jupitor (the largest planet of our solar system) and about 109 times bigger than earth. 
 
Jupitor is seen as having 4 moons, and takes 12 years of our time to complete a single revolution around the sun.  It's 780 million miles away from the sun !!  Thus, our 12 years would be just one year in Jupitor.  Isn't it amazing?!  Alhumdulilah.  It makes me think that our calculation of time means so little once we step outside the boundaries of tiny earth.



And don't miss this one:

Comparison of earth and other planets in our solar system with the sun and other stars.

You need to read this to know how tiny and insignificant the earth is!

Beautiful thread!  Subhan'Allah ya Rab !!   I'm also very interested in the astronomical scientific facts that are disclosed in the Noble Quran in such an amazing way.  I'm sure at that time, in the 7th century, no one understood these disclosures.  But in the modern era all Quranic astronomical details are unfolding to be exactly the same as determined by astronomers on the basis of their studies. 

"And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit."  (21:33)  Surah Al-Anbiya


Alhamdulilah ..

Love this thread and this topic.  Alhumdulilah, ameen ya Allah.

And yeah, don't forget to visit that yellow link Sister Zainab posted in one of her above posts on comparison of planets with the sun and other stars.  It's in the kids' board and those kiddos  went bonkers  .....  talked and talked and talked about it through the evening and all through at the dinner table 😃
