The Sun is a Great Lamp, and the Moon Gives Light

<strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Blessed be He Who has placed in the heaven big stars, and has placed therein a great lamp (sun), and a moon giving light.   Allah, the Almighty, says:    [Blessed be He Who has placed in the heaven big stars, and has placed therein a great lamp (sun), and a moon giving light.]   (Al-Furqan: 61)<br />And, [And We have made (therein) a shining lamp (sun).]  (An-Naba': 13)</span><br /><span style="color: maroon;">The Scientific Facts:</span><br />The energy of the sun (universal atomic pile): The energy of the sun is generated by the burning of hydrogen, which is the main constituent of the sun that transforms it into helium deep within, where there is very high density, pressure, and temperatures reaching 15,000,000°. This leads to a nuclear reaction and fusion of four hydrogen atoms to make one helium atom. The leftover energy from this reaction is released in the form of electromagnetic energy divided into short wave rays, infrared rays, and ultraviolet rays.<br />This means that the sun obtains its energy from within through natural nuclear reaction under very high pressure, heat, and density as if it is a mega atomic pile made to provide earth with light, warmth, and energy.<br />The sun is considered a star and is a luminous celestial body, whereas the moon is a planet; a dark celestial body that reflects the light it receives from stars and the sun as do all the other natural satellites of the planets (the moons).<br /><br /><span style="color: maroon;">Facts of Scientific Inimitability:</span><br />More than fourteen centuries ago, the Ever-Glorious Qur'an indicated the difference between stars and planets exemplified in the difference between the sun and the moon.<br />Modern astronomers only discovered this fact recently after the telescope was invented and after applying photometric and spectrogram researches on stars and planets.<br />Stars are luminous celestial bodies whereas planets are dark celestial bodies that reflect the light received from stars and the sun as do all other natural satellites of the planets and (moons).<br />The sun is a mega atomic pile swimming very fast in space and has many various forms of light, heat, and energy. It is not just a bright disk; rather it is like a shining lamp, whereas the moon is a planet that reflects the light of the sun to lighten the night on earth.<br />This fact was described in these two honorable verses fourteen centuries ago, then we must ask ourselves, who told Prophet Muhammad r about it but Allah, the Most High!</strong></div>

Communication of the Ants

<img height="200" src="http://miraclesinthequran.com/images/ant.jpg" width="200" /> <img height="200" src="http://miraclesinthequran.com/images/ant1.jpg" width="200" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Then, when they reached the Valley of the Ants, an ant said: "Ants! Enter your dwellings, so that Sulayman and his troops do not crush you unwittingly." (Qur'an, 27: 18) </b><br /><br /><br />The above verse tells us that ants have a way of communication. Modern day research proves that in fact ants do have a source of communication through a few ways. It is obvious that to understand the communication of ants would require a profound knowledge of chemistry. After all, the size of a single ant is so small, yet studies have shown that within the ants' 2-3 mm bodies, around 500 000 nerve cells are squeezed in! An ant communicates by releasing chemicals that alert all the nearby ants. The newly alerted ants will spread the news and the direction in which help should be sent. The fact that the Quran has mentioned the exchanging of information between ants more than 1400 years ago is truly a miracle and a proof the the Quran is the word of Allah .</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Let us see what history tells us about these wars.  A book entitled <i>History of the Byzantine State</i> says that the Roman army was badly defeated at Antioch in 613, and as a result, the Persians swiftly pushed forward on all fronts.<sup><a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-4.htm#footnote1" name="bf1">1</a></sup>  At that time, it was hard to imagine that the Romans would defeat the Persians, but the Quran foretold that the Romans would be victorious within three to nine years.  In 622, nine years after the Romans’ defeat, the two forces (Romans and Persians) met on Armenian soil, and the result was the decisive victory of the Romans over the Persians, for the first time after the Romans’ defeat in 613.<sup><a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-4.htm#footnote2" name="bf2">2</a></sup>  The prophecy was fulfilled just as God has said in the Quran.</span></div>

<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">“The way it was explained to me is that Muhammad was a very ordinary man.  He could not read, didn’t know [how] to write. In fact, he was an illiterate.  And we’re talking about twelve [actually about fourteen] hundred years ago.  You have someone illiterate making profound pronouncements and statements and that are amazingly accurate about scientific nature.  And I personally can’t see how this could be a mere chance.  There are too many accuracies and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements.”  (<a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/video/persaud-1.ram">View the RealPlayer video of this comment <img align="absmiddle" alt="Video Clip" border="0" height="24" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/video.jpg" width="30" /></a>)</span></div>

<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad <img align="texttop" border="0" height="17" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/salla.jpg" width="21" /> extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis.  He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad <img align="texttop" border="0" height="17" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/salla.jpg" width="21" />.  Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">“So that the two <i>hadeeths</i> (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad <img align="texttop" border="0" height="17" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/salla.jpg" width="21" />) that have been noted provide us with a specific time table for the main embryological development before forty days.  Again, the point has been made, I think, repeatedly by other speakers this morning: these <i>hadeeths</i>could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available [at] the time of their writing . . . . It follows, I think, that not only there is no conflict between genetics and religion but, in fact, religion can guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches, that there exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be valid, which support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from God.”  (<a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/video/simpson-1.ram">View the RealPlayer video of this comment <img align="absmiddle" alt="Video Clip" border="0" height="24" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/video.jpg" width="30" /></a>)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">God has said in the Quran:</span></div>
<div class="qr1" style="margin: 10px 40px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;"><b><img align="texttop" border="0" height="22" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ys.jpg" width="12" /> Have you not seen how God makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a stack, and then you see the rain come out of it.... <img align="texttop" border="0" height="22" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ym.jpg" width="12" /></b>(Quran, 24:43)</span></div>
<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Meteorologists have only recently come to know these details of cloud formation, structure, and function by using advanced equipment like planes, satellites, computers, balloons, and other equipment, to study wind and its direction, to measure humidity and its variations, and to determine the levels and variations of atmospheric pressure.<sup><a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-g.htm#footnote4" name="bf4">4</a></sup></span></div>
<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">The preceding verse, after mentioning clouds and rain, speaks about hail and lightning:</span></div>
<div class="qr1" style="margin: 10px 40px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;"><b><img align="texttop" border="0" height="22" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ys.jpg" width="12" /> ....And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds) in the sky, and He strikes with it whomever He wills, and turns it from whomever He wills. The vivid flash of its lightning nearly blinds the sight. <img align="texttop" border="0" height="22" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ym.jpg" width="12" /></b> (Quran, 24:43)</span></div>
<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">Meteorologists have found that these cumulonimbus clouds, that shower hail, reach a height of 25,000 to 30,000 ft (4.7 to 5.7 miles),<sup><a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-g.htm#footnote5" name="bf5">5</a></sup> like mountains, as the Quran said,<b>“...And He sends down hail from mountains (clouds) in the sky...”</b> (see figure 21 above).</span></div>
<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">This verse may raise a question.  Why does the verse say <b>“its lightning”</b> in a reference to the hail?  Does this mean that hail is the major factor in producing lightning?  Let us see what the book entitled <i>Meteorology Today</i> says about this.  It says that a cloud becomes electrified as hail falls through a region in the cloud of supercooled droplets and ice crystals.  <img align="right" border="0" height="273" hspace="6" src="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-g-img6.jpg" vspace="6" width="200" />As liquid droplets collide with a hailstone, they freeze on contact and release latent heat.  This keeps the surface of the hailstone warmer than that of the surrounding ice crystals.  When the hailstone comes in contact with an ice crystal, an important phenomenon occurs: electrons flow from the colder object toward the warmer object.  Hence, the hailstone becomes negatively charged.  The same effect occurs when supercooled droplets come in contact with a hailstone and tiny splinters of positively charged ice break off.  These lighter positively charged particles are then carried to the upper part of the cloud by updrafts.  The hail, left with a negative charge, falls towards the bottom of the cloud, thus the lower part of the cloud becomes negatively charged.  These negative charges are then discharged as lightning.<sup><a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-g.htm#footnote6" name="bf6">6</a></sup>  We conclude from this that hail is the major factor in producing lightning.</span></div>
<div class="nr1" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 20px; text-indent: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This information on lightning was discovered recently.  Until 1600 AD, Aristotle’s ideas on meteorology were dominant.  For example, he said that the atmosphere contains two kinds of exhalation, moist and dry.  He also said that thunder is the sound of the collision of the dry exhalation with the neighboring clouds, and lightning is the inflaming and burning of the dry exhalation with a thin and faint fire.<sup><a href="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-g.htm#footnote7" name="bf7">7</a></sup>  These are some of the ideas on meteorology that were dominant at the time of the Quran’s revelation, fourteen centuries ago.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>
