THE MIRACLE OF AL-QURA’AN (4)

Astronomy
d) The Moon

The ancient human believe that the moon has shone with its own lights to the earth. This believes had argued by the modern scientist that found the moon light actually is from the bouncing of the sun light. For this aspect, Al-Qur’an has said about this since 1400 year ago. This has stated in QS ,Al-Furqaan 25: 61

“Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light”

In Arabic language the sun called as Sham and the moon called as Qamar. This had appropriated with what had stated in Al-Qur’an is same with the result of modern scientist that found the moon does not bright its own light but it is bounced back the sun light. From this bouncing process we can see the moon had shined. This mean al-Qur’an has differentiated between the shining of sun on the day light and the moon bright on the night fall. For this explanation, please refer to this verse. QS Yunus,10: 5,

“It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time).Nowise did God create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand.”

Its too can refer in this verse of Al-Qur'an, Noah 71: 16,

“And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp? "
