The moon's crack in the Noble Quran, and its appearance to split through a Solar Eclipse. (original) (raw)

Question-Answer Exchanges:

The following Question-Answer exchanges are some of the very thorough and beneficial regarding the Scientific Miracles of the Sun and the Moon in the Glorious Quran.

Question:

Assalamualykum.'' Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.'' (25:61)

In the above Ayah Allah says He has placed great stars in the Heaven and also place therein a lamp (Sun) and a luminous moon. Okay I don't understand why Allah differentiated the stars and the Sun. Why does Allah only address the sun as a lamp while we know that there are much more bigger luminous stars than the sun in the universe? And does this verse mean there is only one Sun and one moon in the Heavens? But it's not possible as I have told you earlier that our Universe consists of many Sun like stars and also Moons.

Please clarify this.

Answer:

Hello brother Farhan!

I wanted to let you know that this verse (

25:61) uses the word that is more accurately translated as constellations. So right away, you know that this verse is referring to the human perception of the sky! We see constellations and patterns in the sky, so it is our perception. So this verse is adhering to human perception to explain a beautiful phenomena of creation. Next you notice that the Quran says that Allah placed a burning lamp in the sky and a moon. In no way does this mean there is only one burning lamp or one moon, it is just stating that there is a burning lamp and a moon in the sky.

There are a few things that you need to notice about this verse. In no way does this verse say that the sun isn't a star, or that there is only one moon.

Next there is another verse in the Quran that addresses the STARS as beingLAMPS, just as the sun is.

Quran 24:35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shiningstar. (This lamp is) kindled from [the oil of] a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things.

Question:

thanks brother.

But can I have some more proof that Quran doesn't say that there is only one moon and one sun? Can you show anymore verse where Allah refers to the stars as lamps? And can you make it more clearer why do you think the verse is talking about human perception? It will Inshallah convince me.

PLEASE HELP

Answer:

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

Brother Mclinkin94, great answer akhi. May Allah Almighty bless you. Ameen.

I would like to add that Allah Almighty created the creatures on earth to live by day and night. Some planets, and even parts on this earth, have very long days cycles and very long nights cycles. Normal life on earth was designed by an equal rotation of the day and night. So by Divine Design, Allah Almighty placed the moon to be our night light, and for the sun to be our glorious star.

Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said the following:

‏91:1 والشمس وضحاها ‏91:2 والقمر اذا تلاها ‏91:3 والنهار اذا جلاها

"By the sun and its radiant light, and the moon that trails (and reflects) its light. By the day that magnifies and glorifies (جلاها) its brightness. (The Noble Quran, 91:1-3)"

Did you know our shining and glorious days, on a clear day, are a magnification of the sun's rays by our atomosphere? Outside our atmosphere, the universe is pitch black! And Allah Almighty Said that it is our day that magnifies and glorifies the sun's brightness. Please visit:

Question:

'' It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.''(36:40)

Enbiya/33 It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (of them) swim in an orbit.

Okay in some articles it is said that the above verses are talking about the motion of everything including sun,moon,earth,planets and stars. But how? Because the verses only mention sun, moon and earth? If I say Ibrahim and Ali, and Abdel, Ahmad and Uthman everyone is a good player or all are good players will it imply also the people whose names are unmentioned? Can anyone explain this in detail?

And does Quran say anything about earth's motion around the Sun? And Moon's motion around the earth?

Answer:

'' It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.''(36:40)

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

People were asking the Prophet, peace be upon him, if the sun and the moon were ever going to collide. The people thought that the sun and the moon were both running on one lane or line or orbit or path, and that they're together, and that if one slows down, then the other would catch up to it and they'd ultimately collide. Allah Almighty responded to this nonsenseby making it absolutely clear that the sun and the moon are traveling in entirely different orbits, and that they could not catch up to each others and collide. So what the empty anti-Islamics of today try to prove as a scientific blunder in the Holy Quran turns out to be an accurate Scientific Statement and a Scientific Miracle of its time

(see also Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus).

Also, the Holy Quran Said that the moon's orbit is S-Shaped. Allah Almighty never said the same about the sun's orbit.

Enbiya/33 It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (of them) swim in an orbit.

Same exact reponse as above. Yes, they're not on the same orbit. This is Scientifically estabilished. And again, the Holy Quran Said that the moon's orbit is S-Shaped. Allah Almighty never said the same about the sun's orbit.

Okay in some articles it is said that the above verses are talking about the motion of everything including sun,moon,earth,planets and stars. But how? Because the verses only mention sun, moon and earth? If I say Ibrahim and Ali, and Abdel, Ahmad and Uthman everyone is a good player or all are good players will it imply also the people whose names are unmentioned? Can anyone explain this in detail?

And does Quran say anything about earth's motion around the Sun? And Moon's motion around the earth?

Allah Almighty started the Noble Verse with speaking only about the sun and the moon, and the night and the day. But ended it by saying ALL swimming in their independent orbits. This is referring here to all celestial bodies in the Universe. This is further clearly proven in other Noble Verses where Allah Almighty talking about the orbits of the celestial bodies, and how once in space, traveling becomes in orbits. Please visit the following video of Dr. Zaghloul Al-Najjar. He thoroughly and beautifully explained this beautiful Miracle in the Holy Quran with ample examples and details:

Did you know that the Glorious Quran

declares that the earth is:

Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said this about his journey to the farthest northern lands and people:
‏18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلعالشمس,he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"

Noble Verse(s) 18:91
Rodwell: [018:091] Thus it was. And we had full knowledgeof the forces that were with him. **Arabic (Read from right to left. Also, all png image files: [1] [2]. Quran Moral Code (100s of them)]):**‏18:91 كذلكوقد احطنابما لديه خبرا
Prophet Muhammad"did see" (Quran 53.18) the Aurora Lightscovering the horizons above the earth from space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and "Thus it was", Allah Almighty completed the "full knowledge" regarding Dhil-Qarnayn's mission. This further supports the story below about Dhil-Qarnayn's journeyto the farthest northern lands and people (The sunsetless [4] North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:
"Va�lahei�arvegavinnuverkf�rageymslusk�rslyklakippuhringurinn" ?? This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:

The early Muslims believed that Dhil Qarnayn reached the people of the farthest norths of the earth. The following is a map of Al-Sharif Al-Idrisi in year 1154 giving the geographic location of where Dhil Qarnayn went according to the understanding of the early Muslims of Noble Verses 18:83-100:


Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has.
قرنين Qarnayn = two horns.
Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn).
Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses 53:18 and 18:91are also prophetically linked together; that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنينsaw. Also visit:

(Video from NASA filming the Green Carpet Aurora Lights from space)Again, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was taken up to Heaven:
Narrated Abdullah: "Regarding the Verse: "Indeed he (Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!" (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)

- The Glorious Quran also speaks about many earths [5] and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran predicts 11 planets in our solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:
1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran.

Did Prophet Muhammad know think that the earth was spherical or flat?
Answer:
In this Hadith, above, he certainly seems to have known this fact very well. And this Hadith is even older than Sahih Bukhari. It is important to know that Imam Bukhari and others have declared that they have discarded thousands of Hadiths: www.islamic-awareness.org/Hadith/bukhari.html

This is to keep their volumes as simple and manageable as possible. So it is quite possible that the Prophet spoke about the earth being spherical, and the Glorious Quran certainly did, and people just dismissed them as nonsense.

Question:

And the moon darkens.(75: 8 )

And the sun and the moon are joined,(75:9)

Can anyone explain the above verses? Why Allah says that the moon and the sun will be joined? As sun is much bigger than the moon , it should swallow it not get joined with it. I'm confused. I have read some articles where they say that through these verses Allah says that Sun will swallow the Moon before the Final Hour. But the verse uses ''JOINED'' not ''SWALLOWED''. Or is it talking about Solar eclipse? If so then the translation might me wrong.

Answer:

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,

Here are the Noble Verses:

‏75:7 فاذا برق البصر
‏75:8 وخسف القمر
‏75:9 وجمع الشمس والقمر
‏75:10 ي

قول الانسان يومئذ اين المفر

[075:007] At length, when the sight is dazed,
[075:008] And the moon is buried in darkness.
[075:009] And the sun and moon are joined together,-
[075:010] That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"

I believe this is a Prophecy about a Great Eclipse that will take place. This actually makes sense, since when the Hour Comes, the Universe's orbits' path will turn into a spegetti mess on a massive scale, and all celestial bodies will be colliding violently with each others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust). So it makes sense that:

1- Our atmosphere will change, and hence it will greatly effect our visions, since the sun rays are all magnified and become glorious, as we know them, through our atmosphere as Allah Almighty mentioned clearly in the Glorious Quran:

‏91:1 والشمس وضحاها
‏91:2 والقمر اذا تلاها
‏91:3 والنهار اذا جلاها

"By the sun and its radiant light, and the moon that trails (and reflects) its light. By the day that magnifies and glorifies (جلاها) its brightness. (The Noble Quran, 91:1-3)"

Please visit:http://www.quransearch.com/sun_rays_miracle.htm

Lunar Eclipses do blur and permanently damage the eye's cornea:

The following pictures certainly prove the points above. Another point worth mentioning is that when the Hour Comes, the sun's rays might be much much more than what they already are today. There are several Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran that indicate that this will actually happen:

http://www.quransearch.com/water_shall_vanish.htm

http://www.quransearch.com/galaxy_explosion.htm
http://www.quransearch.com/end_of_times_volcanoes_caused_by_stretching_of_earth.htm
http://www.quransearch.com/ac20.htm#links

In the case, the lunar eclipse would be far greaterthan what it appears to be in the following pictures:

When watching the lunar eclipse outside, special Eye Shields are required to prevent blindness and/or permanent eye damages, especially to the cornea:

2- Because of the chaos in the orbits, our solar system's orbits will also go in chaos, and hence the sun's and the moon's orbits will cross each others, and an eclipse will occur as a result.

3- When the events in point #2 happen, then the sky will darken and the moon will be buried in darkness.

Great question dear brother, Farhan! I will add this on the website with more elaborations, Insha'Allah.

Osama Abdallah

Question:

Assalamualykum.

I'm still confused about these verse:

And the sun and the moon are joined,(75:9)

Even if it is talking about solar eclipse, why it says that sun and moon will be joined? We know during Solar Eclipse, the moon comes in between the Sun and the Earth. Moon is not joined. Please, can you explain this in detail?

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother,

It is possible that the moon will eventually be swallowed by the sun, along with all of our solar system's celestial bodies. We've seen above already how this Noble Verse is talking about the Great Lunar Eclipse when the Hour Comes. As to the language of the sun and the moon will be joined together, while it is about a lunar eclipse, but it could also be referring to the moon eventually leaving its orbit here around earth and be devoured by the sun. You see, the two immediate celestial bodies to us humans that our naked eyes could see up close and personal, from our view here on earth, are:

1- The moon.
2- The sun.

And they are the most relevant and vital celestial bodies for our life here on earth. So if Allah Almighty spoke in limited language about the sun and the moon, it doesn't limit the event to just them. But to us humans, since these two celestial bodies are what we see in considerable size and clarity from earth here, then they are the most relevant to us. Plus as I said, they are the most relevant and vital to our life here on earth as well. So Allah Almighty putting emphasis on the sun and the moon wouldn't mean that the Noble Verse is limited to just them.

As to the Arabic جمع (joined) in Noble Verse 75:9 above, it could very well be referring to being aligned together according to our view and perspective here on earth. جمع is both a noun and a simple past in Arabic:

1- جمع means a group for a noun.
2- جمع means joined together, came together, summoned together, brought together, put together for a simple past.

The Noble Word would be very appropriate and suitable if Allah Almighty spoke about the Great Lunar Eclipse will happen when the Hour Comes. And we see very clearly from the full context inNoble Verses 75:7-10, in the previous posts above, that Allah Almighty did indeed speak about a Lunar Eclipse will happen when the Hour comes.

I know I've written an article years ago about these Noble Verses. I will update it with these new posts today, Insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).

I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah
