Miracle #2: 

Orbits

While referring to the Sun and the Moon in the Qur'an, it is emphasized that each moves in a definite orbit.

"It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They swim along, each in an orbit." (The Qur'an, 21:33)

It is mentioned in another verse, too, that the Sun is not static but moves in a definite orbit:

"And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing." (The Qur'an, 36:38)



These facts communicated in the Qur'an have been discovered by astronomical observations in our age. According to the calculations of experts on astronomy, the Sun is traveling at the enormous speed of 720,000 kilometers an hour in the direction of the star Vega in a particular orbit called the Solar Apex. This means that the sun travels roughly 17,280,000 kilometers a day. Along with the Sun, and all planets and satellites within the gravitational system of the Sun also travel the same distance. In addition, all the stars in the universe are in a similar planned motion.

That the entire universe is full of paths and orbits such as this one, is written in the Qur'an as follows:

"By the sky full of paths and orbits." (The Qur'an, 51:7)

There are about 200 billion galaxies in the universe, consisting of nearly 200 billion stars in each. Most of these stars have planets, and most of those planets have satellites. All of these heavenly bodies move in very precisely computed orbits. For millions of years, each has been "swimming" along in its own orbit in perfect harmony and order with all the others. Moreover, many comets also move along in the orbits determined for them.





The orbits in the universe do not only belong to celestial bodies. The galaxies also travel at enormous speeds in computed, planned orbits. During these movements, none of these celestial bodies cuts across another's path, or collides with another.

Surely at the time the Qur'an was revealed, mankind did not possess today's telescopes or advanced observation technologies to observe millions of kilometres of space, nor the modern knowledge of physics or astronomy. Therefore, at that time, it was not possible to determine scientifically that space is "full of paths and orbits" as stated in the verse. However, this was openly declared to us in the Qur'an that was revealed at that time:–because the Qur'an is the word of God.

On a side note, I didn't mean him to trust Qur'an because it will be hard for a non-muslim unless you research more without the media influence but he is telling he can't trust "old" books.


Anytime. Here is the link: http://islam.ru/en/content/story/third-caliph-uthman-ibn-affan-ra-0.

Be Cautious: I can't promise you all things in any website I link is true. I read things I take from other websites before I copy-paste content here. I usually do it because of my poor English and when I write, you may not understand correctly. In websites, things are obviously written by people who writes, so their writing will be better than mine!!!

 

Ok. Thanks for finding and sharing this information with me. It's always better to have the facts than what I heard from who-knows-where. By the way, where is this information from? Thanks.

correct! if you cannot trust amongst the oldest UNMODIFIED books. not those who adapts themselves with time. then you should read asterix and obelix or something like that. its more appropriate for your age hamuki

So you want a book written now about the past? Almost all accurate books about a period will be written at that time and other will most probably be estimate/assumptions unless he/she is "supernatural".

P.S. If you can't trust old books, you can't believe no histories.

Old books = Big influence of religion.

That means its not a trusted source of information

My friend, did I told you to read Qur'an? Did I tols you to read Islamic books? I told you to refer to historical books. There many libraries, go through one of them. There is proof of existence as the Masjid is still there and burial place of Cheraman Perumal is still can be seenin Oman.

The only thing you want me to read is the Quran or any other book that is written by the same psycho that wrote the Quran.
If you can only reffere to islamic "proofs" and islamic sources, then I cant seem to find a reason to discuss with you since you are brain washed with that shit.

There were only 1 "real" version of Qur'an. Other versions are false which were by non-arabs who converted to Islam.

“After the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and during the time of the Caliphs, hundreds of thousands of non-Arabs converted to Islam.  Consequently, the Quran began to be recited and written in various different dialects and scripts.  One of Prophet Mohammad’s companions, and Uthman’s friend Hudhaifah, whilst on a journey noticed that there were many different recitations of Quran throughout the Muslim Empire.  Hudhaifah suggested to Uthman that there be an official version written in the style used in Medina.

Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) knew the Quran by heart and had intimate knowledge of the context and circumstances relating to each verse.  The Quran had been gathered during the time of Abu Bakr and was in the safekeeping of Prophet Muhammad’s wife Hafsah.

Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) took possession of the originals and ordered some of the most trusted companions to make careful copies.  He then ordered all other unofficial copies to be burned or otherwise destroyed.  Five official copies were sent to the greatest cities of the Muslim Caliphate. Original copies exist to this day in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey.”

So, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard once before that originally the Qu'ran was written in a sort of trance (being transcribed by followers of the prophet) as Mohammed meditated in a cave. I heard that these original copies were written without dots (from Wikipedia 'Arabic language': "These dots are an integral part of a letter, since they distinguish between letters that represent different sounds."): I heard that this was the case with the Qu'ran and originally there were 14 different versions of the holy book - each with very different meanings. At some point in history someone or some people decided to burn all but 1 of these interpretations. Does anyone know about this or care to inform me better? Just interested in this part of history not really have an opinion about it either way.

There are books regarding history, you may want to take a look. You can also come and visit the Masjid it you don't believe me. You can visit the burial place of Chraman Perumal also. Read more please...

We Muslims also go to school, college and we do study. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Saturn
