Description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran.

     In this blog, I have written about the description of the Rotation of the Earth and the mention of the Orbit of the Moon and Sun in the Quran. Translation of Verse 5 of Surah Az-Zumar He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. He wraps the night around the day, and wraps the day around the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term. He is truly the Almighty, Most Forgiving. Explanation                        In this verse of Surah, Az-Zumar Allah has told us how night changes into day and how day changes to night. If you look at the sky just around the time of sunset you would perceive it as night wrapping around day and at just around the time of sunrise day wrapping around night. The only 2 ways for this to be possible are that the Earth should rotate along its axis and that the Earth is spherical in shape. Now today we know that Earth takes one day(24 ho...

Mention of atoms in the Quran

 In this blog, I have written about some of the verses of the Quran which tell us about the existence of atoms. Translation of Verse 61 of Surah Al-Yunus There is no activity you may be engaged in ˹O Prophet˺ or portion of the Quran you may be reciting, nor any deed you ˹all˺ may be doing except that We are a Witness over you while doing it. Not ˹even˺ an atom’s weight is hidden from your Lord on earth or in heaven; nor anything smaller or larger than that, but is ˹written˺ in a clear register. English Translation of Verse 7 of Surah Az-zalzala So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. English Translation of Verse 8 of Surah Az-zalzala And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it. Explanation                       These are only some of the verses of the Holy Quran which precisely describe the existence of atoms when science at the time was not even familiar with the concept of atoms. The atomic theory was ...

Moon doesn't have its own Light

 In this blog, I have written about the verse of the Quran in which Allah has told us that the Moon doesn't have its own light but it just reflects the light of the Sun. Surah Al-Furqan Verse 61 "Blessed is the One Who has placed constellations in the sky, as well as a ˹radiant˺ lamp (Sun)  and a luminous moon." Explanation                      In this verse of the Quran, Allah has clearly mentioned that it is the Sun which has its own light, whereas the Moon reflects the Light of the Sun or is illuminated by the light of the Sun. We discovered this fact just recently while it was mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago at a time when science didn't have the expertise to discover these facts, so there is no way that people at that time could ever know this. The only possibility is that the creator of this universe told them in the Quran and that creator is Allah SWT. It also proves the Quran is the word of Allah sent to us f...

Hadith regarding Saying Salam to others and Hadith Regarding Signs of a Hypocrite

   In this blog, I have written  Hadith regarding Saying Salam to others and  Hadith Regarding Signs of a Hypocrite.   Hadith regarding Saying Salam to others "When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) arrived- meaning in Al-Madinah – the people came out to meet him. It was said that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had arrived, so I went among the people to get a look at him. When I gazed upon the face of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), I knew that this face was not the face of a liar. The first thing that he spoke about was that he said: 'O you people! Spread the Salam, feed(others), and perform Salat while the people are sleeping; you will enter Paradise with(the greeting of) Salam.'” [At-Tirmidhi 2485] Hadith Regarding Signs of a Hypocrite The Prophet (s.a.w) said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it ...

 In this blog I have written about Hadiths regarding  Indifference towards this World ,  Detachment from the World,  Observing Fast at the Day of Ashura,  Wealth of Prophet Muhammad SAW. Hadith no.1 Indifference towards this World “We stopped with Abu Hashim bin ‘Utbah, who had been stabbed, and Mu’awiyah came to visit him. Abu Hashim wept and Mu’awiyah said to him: ‘Why are you weeping, O maternal uncle? Is there some pain bothering you, or is it because of this world, the best of which has already passed?’ He said: ‘It is not for any of these reasons. But the Messenger of Allah  SAW  gave me some advice and I wish that I had followed it. He  SAW  said: “There may come a time when you will see wealth divided among the people, and all you will need of that is a servant and a mount to ride in the cause of Allah.” That time came, but I accumulated wealth.’” [Ibn Majah 4103] Hadith no.2 Detachment from the World “The Messenger of Allah SAW said:...
