It has become
common knowledge now that all the planets, moons, suns,
comets and other celestial bodies in the universe each has
its own orbit. However this was a fact which was unknown
1500 years ago. Scientists in those days were presenting
models of the Earth being flat that is how backwards
humanity was in knowledge in those days. Yet in the Quran it
is stated:
 |
Al-Quran,
Chapter 36 Ya-Sin, Verse 40 |
|
|
 |
|
In
the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful |
It is not
permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon nor can the
Night outstrip the Day: each (just) swims along in (its
own) orbit (according to Law). |
|
|
And Also
|
|
Al-Quran,
Chapter 21 Al-Anbiyaa, Verse 33 |
|
|
|
|
In
the Name of Allah, The Benevolent, The Merciful |
It is He Who
created the Night and the Day and the sun and the moon:
all the celestial bodies swim along each in its rounded
course. |
|
|
The Quran described the orbits in perfection! None of the
orbits of the planets, moons, suns or comets are perfectly
round but are in fact 'rounded', slightly elongated at the
sides. How could this information have been in the Quran
with such accuracy when it took science 1000's of years to
establish this!
All celestial bodies—including planets, satellites of these
planets, stars and even galaxies—have their own orbits that
have been determined with very delicate computations. The
One Who established this perfect order and maintains it is
Allah, Who created the entire universe. Yet another proof!
