Detailed meanings of the Scientific Words
in the Scientific Verses in the Holy Quran
using Lisan Al-Arab (The Arabs' (of old)
Tongue) Dictionary and other similar
dictionaries

It is very important to remember that Allah Almighty's choice of the Holy
Words below was for a Divine Purpose and not just by chance. There were
many other choices of words that Allah Almighty could've chosen, but He
Chose the ones below because they carried far deeper meanings in them
that only Science today was able to unveil and confirm. These Holy Words
were used by Allah Almighty to describe how He, the Almighty, Created the
Universe and many of the creations in it. The Holy Words are in perfect
harmony with Science and with the way the Universe was truly created by
Allah Almighty.

analyzed in great details below, and how these Words meant to them in their poetries,
sayings,
and interpretations of the Holy Quran and the Hadiths.

The sections of this article are:

1- The explosion of the Universe and Galaxies bring about Smoke.

2- The moon's S-shaped orbit, reflection of light, and the curvy orbits of the celestial
bodies.

Important Note:
It is very important to remember that Allah Almighty's choice of the Holy Words below
was for a Divine Purpose and not just by chance. There were many other choices of
words that Allah Almighty could've chosen, but He Chose the ones below because they
carried far deeper meanings in them that only Science today was able to unveil and
confirm. These Holy Words were used by Allah Almighty to describe how He, the
Almighty, Created the Universe and many of the creations in it. The Holy Words are in
perfect harmony with Science and with the way the Universe was truly created by Allah
Almighty.

The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These are statements of
Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe. What's
most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be
in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries. Allah
Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him)
Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood
the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language
eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement
with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.

Allah Almighty Said: "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside
their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient
as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"

Note: When the Arabic word's meaning is listed only in English without Arabic and
transliteration, then the word was taken from the Arabic-English dictionaries of Al-
Mawrid [4] and Cowan [5].

No, these filaments are on larger scales than that. As the denser parts of the Universe
collapse, filaments are formed quite naturally, leading to a 'cosmic web' sort of
structure.

"PROBING THE COSMIC WEB OF THE UNIVERSE: NEW LIGHT ON DARK
ENERGY

ScienceDaily (Jan. 30, 2008) — Astronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope to
measure the distribution and motions of thousands of galaxies in the distant Universe.
This opens fascinating perspectives to better understand what drives the acceleration of
the cosmic expansion and sheds new light on the mysterious dark energy that is thought
to permeate the Universe.

.......

The technique is based on a well-known phenomenon, namely the fact that the apparent
motion of distant galaxies results from two effects: the global expansion of the Universe
that pushes the galaxies away from each other and the gravitational attraction of matter
present in the galaxies' neighbourhood that pulls them together, creating the cosmic web


of large-scale structures."
(http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080130130650.htm)

Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said:


Dr. Munir Munshey (one of www.answering-christianity.com's authors):

[044:009] Yet, (immersed) in doubt, they waste their time in pastimes.

[044:010] Watch out for the day when the sky would emit (vast volumes of) visible smoke!

[044:011] It would enshroud people. That is a painful punishment.

Transliteration:

[044:009] Bal hum fee shakkin yalAAaboona

[044:010] Fairtaqib yawma ta/tee alssamao bidukhanin mubeenin

[044:011] Yaghsha alnnasa hatha AAathabun aleemun


44:9 ‫ﺑــــﻞ هـــم ﻓـــﻲ ﺷــك ﻳﻠﻌﺑـــــــــــون‬
‫ـ‬

44:10 ‫ﺐ‬ ‫ﻣﺒﻴ ﻦ ﺑ ﺪﺧﺎن اﻟﺴ ﻤﺎء ﺗ ﺎﺗﻲ ﻳ ﻮم ﻓﺎرﺗﻘ‬

44:11 ‫ﻳﻐﺷـــــﻰ اﻟﻧــــــــــﺎس هــــــذا ﻋـــــذاب اﻟﻳـــــــــم‬

So the explosion of the Galaxies and the Universe will produce an awesome
amount of smoke, which is scientifically true as we saw in the previous pictures
(above), and also as we see in the next pictures (below).

Furthermore, we read:


Khalifa: (why is he here?)

[055:036] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?


3/29/2009

[055:037] When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint.

[055:038] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?

Transliteration:

[055:036] Fabi-ayyi ala-i rabbikuma tukaththibani

[055:037] Fa-itha inshaqqati alssamao fakanat wardatan kaalddihani

[055:038] Fabi-ayyi ala-i rabbikuma tukaththibani


55:36 ‫اﻻء رﺑآﻣـــــــــﺎ ﺗآـــــــــــذﺑﺎن‬ ‫ﻓﺑـــــــﺎي‬

55:38 ‫اﻻء رﺑآﻣـــــــــﺎ ﺗآـــــــــــذﺑﺎن‬ ‫ﻓﺑـــــــﺎي‬

Now obviously, a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a "Galaxie" explodes.
It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms:

The Noble Quran, again, in this Noble Verse and in many other Noble Verses, predicts
the explosion of the Galaxies of the Universe.



Yusuf Ali:

[041:010] He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed
blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due
proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (Sustenance).

[041:011] Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He
said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do
come (together), in willing obedience."

[041:012] So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He
assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower
heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted
in Might, Full of Knowledge.

As Allah Almighty was creating the earth and the Universe, the Heaven was still a hot
smoke. The science of modern cosmology, observational and theoretical, clearly
indicates that, at one point in time, the whole universe was nothing but a cloud of
‘smoke’. This is one of the undisputed principles of standard modern cosmology.
Scientists now can observe new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke’:

Figure 10: A new star forming out of a cloud of
gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the
remnants of the ‘smoke’ that was the origin of the
whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and
Henbest, p. 50.)


Figure 11: The Lagoon nebula is a cloud of gas and
dust, about 60 light years in diameter. It is excited by
the ultraviolet radiation of the hot stars that have
recently formed within its bulk. (Horizons, Exploring
the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of
Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.)

The following articles give a great deal of Miracles about the Earth's Astronomy:

The Big Bang Theory and the Cosmic Crunch in the Noble Quran.

The sun rays that we see during the day are different from the ones seen in space!

The Ozone layer is a protective ceiling to earth.

The 7 layers of earth and iron was sent down from space.

The breathing cycle during the day on planet earth by the plants, humans and animals
- mentioned in the Noble Quran and confirmed by Science!

Lack of Oxygen and painful low pressure in space. Science confirmed the Noble
Quran's Divine Claim.

The Universe is "expanding" according to the Noble Quran. Scientists already
proved this claim to be true.

The darkness of oceans and disappearance of light was mentioned in the Noble Quran
and confirmed by Science.

The Lunar Calendar is the most accurate calendar - mentioned in the Noble Quran
and confirmed by Science. Also the precise calculation of difference between the
Gregorian and Lunar calendars is demonstrated in the Noble Quran.

Allah Almighty always be pleased with him)

Future
See also: Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth

The future of the planet is closely tied to that of the Sun. As a result of the steady
accumulation of helium ash at the Sun's core, the star's total luminosity will slowly
increase. The luminosity of the Sun will increase by 10 percent over the next 1.1 billion
years (1.1 Gyr), and by 40% over the next 3.5 Gyr.[118] Climate models indicate that the
rise in radiation reaching the Earth is likely to have dire consequences, including
the possible loss of the planet's oceans.[119]
The Earth's increasing surface temperature will accelerate the inorganic CO2 cycle,
reducing its concentration to the lethal levels for plants (10 ppm for C4 photosynthesis) in
900 million years. But even if the Sun were eternal and stable, the continued internal
cooling of the Earth would have resulted in a loss of much of its atmosphere and
oceans (due to lower volcanism).[120] After another billion years the surface water will
have completely disappeared.[121]
The Sun, as part of its solar lifespan, will expand to a red giant in about 5 Gyr. Models
predict that the Sun will expand out to about 99% of the distance to the Earth's present
orbit (1 astronomical unit, or AU). However, by that time, the orbit of the Earth may have
expanded to about 1.7 AUs because of the diminished mass of the Sun. The planet might
thus escape envelopment by the expanded Sun's sparse outer atmosphere, though most (if
not all) existing life will have been destroyed by the Sun's proximity to the Earth.[118]
What happends when all oceans disappear? The herbage and growth will not get any rain on it because of the rain cycle being stoped
when no water exists on earth to "Send back" water as Allah allmighty explains in several verses!

"Life cycle
Main articles: Formation and evolution of the solar system and Stellar evolution

The Sun's current main sequence age, determined using computer models of stellar
evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.[7]

It is thought that about 4.59 billion years ago, the rapid collapse of a hydrogen molecular
cloud led to the formation of a third generation T Tauri Population I star, the Sun. The
nascent star assumed a nearly circular orbit about 26,000 light-years from the centre of
the Milky Way Galaxy.[8]

The Sun is about halfway through its main-sequence evolution, during which nuclear
fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million
tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and
solar radiation; at this rate, the Sun will have so far converted around 100 Earth-masses
of matter into energy. The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a
main sequence star.

The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead, in 5–6 billion
years, it will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the
core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the
core temperature reaches around 100 MK, and will produce carbon and oxygen, entering
the asymptotic giant branch of a planetary nebula phase in about 7.8 billion years, during
which instabilities in interior temperature lead the surface of the sun to shed mass. While
it is likely that the expansion of the outer layers of the Sun will reach the current position
of Earth's orbit, recent research suggests that mass lost from the Sun earlier in its red
giant phase will cause the Earth's orbit to move further out, preventing it from being
engulfed.[9] However, Earth's water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere
will escape into space. The increase in solar temperatures over this period is sufficient
that by about 900 million years into the future, the surface of the Earth will become too
hot for the survival of life as we know it.[10] After another billion years the surface
water will have completely disappeared.[11]


Life-cycle of the Sun; sizes are not drawn to scale.

Following the red giant phase, intense thermal pulsations will cause the Sun to throw off
its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. The only object that will remain after the
outer layers are ejected is the extremely hot stellar core, which will slowly cool and fade
as a white dwarf over many billions of years. This stellar evolution scenario is typical of
low- to medium-mass stars.[9][12] " (Source)

4- From a Muslim web site:

"Modern science tells us that the growth of clouds and precipitation require that
the
winds fertilize the clouds with a quantity of microscopic
particles called condensation nuclei. The most important qualities of
these seeds are that they draw water or dissolve into it. The winds also carry water vapor


3/29/2009

to the clouds so they will produce rain. The process goes on with the coming together of
numerous particles of water in the atmosphere around these condensation nuclei.

The smallest droplet of water is made up of at least 100 molecules. It is not
easy for such a number to come together by mere coincidence without
there being nuclei to precipitate upon.

These particles are preserved. In this way, people have come to know that the Qur’anic
verse points to how the winds fertilize the clouds with water vapor then with
condensation nuclei as a precursor to the existence of rain. Allah says:

See you not that Allah drives the clouds gently, then joins them together, then makes them
into a heap of layers and you see the rain comes forth from between them; and they are like
mountains in the sky from which He sends down hail, and strikes therewith whom He wills
and averts it from whom He wills. The vivid flash of the clouds’ lightning nearly blinds the
sight.

Meteorologists say that rain requires the development of
precipitating clouds. Among these rain clouds are cumulonimbus
clouds that form in a vertical direction. They can extend upwards of
twenty kilometers. These cumulonimbus clouds have three layers.
The lowest level consists of growing drops of water. The middle layer
contains water droplets having temperatures below freezing that are still in a liquid form. As
for the highest layer, it is comprised of pure white ice crystals. Allah has made the water
droplets that are above freezing unstable, capable of freezing by merely plunging into a solid
body. This is why when ice crystals fall from the highest layer to the middle layer and meet
with water that is above freezing, the crystals adhere to these droplets and freeze with them,
swiftly increasing their size."
(http://www.islamtoday.com/discover_islam.cfm?cat_id=6&sub_cat_id=42)

5- From Wikipedia:

"Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs (also known as cloud seeds) are small particles (typically
0.0002 mm, or 1/100 th the size of a cloud droplet [1]) about which cloud droplets coalesce.
Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid. In the
atmosphere, this surface presents itself as tiny solid or liquid particles called CCNs. When no
CCNs are present, water vapour can be supercooled below 0 °C (32 °F) before droplets
spontaneously form (this is the basis of the cloud chamber for detecting subatomic particles)."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_condensation_nuclei)

6- From Wikipedia:


"Coalescence is the process by which two or more droplets or particles merge during
contact to form a single daughter droplet (or bubble). It
can take place in many processes, ranging from meteorology to astrophysics. For example, it
is both involved in the formation of raindrops as well as planetary and star formation."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalescence_(meteorology%29)

Allah Almighty further Says:


Yusuf Ali:

[023:018] And We send down water from the sky according to calculated measure,
and We cause it to soak in the soil; and We certainly are able to drain it off (with ease).

2- The moon's S-shaped orbit, reflection
of light, and the curvy orbits of the
celestial bodies:
The appearance of the splitting of the moon in half was witnessed by many
Muslims.



[036:039] And the moon! We destined it to return in stages until it comes back like the
dried out branch of the date tree!

Transliteration:

36:39 ‫آــــــــــــﺎﻟﻌرﺟون واﻟﻘﻣـــــــــــر ﻗــــــــــــدرﻧﺎﻩ ﻣﻧـــــــــﺎزل ﺣــــﺗﻰ ﻋـــــﺎد‬
‫اﻟﻘـــــــــــــدﻳم‬

When the date-tree branches begin to grow, they start out looking archy. As they
continue to grow they start arching the other way from the bottom, giving them the look
of an English letter S. When they become very old, and begin to dry and die, they
would've reached their maximum growth, and in most cases, they resemble the English
letter S.

Allah Almighty also Said:


Yusuf Ali:

[015:014] Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue


(all day) ascending therein,

Noble Verse(s) 70:3

Yusuf Ali:

[070:003] (A Penalty) from God, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.

Transliteration:

[070:003] Mina Allahi thee almaAAariji


70:3 ‫اﷲ ذي‬ ‫اﻟﻣﻌــــــــــــﺎرج ﻣـــن‬

‫ اﻟﻤﻌ ﺎرج‬and ‫ ﻳﻌ ﺮﺟﻮن‬are partially translated here are ascend up.

According to






the meaning of AARAJ means the following:


3/29/2009

‫( اﻋﺮج‬a'aaraj), which is the root word: person who has a lame leg from a polio disease.
He walks lamely. Such person doesn't walk straight.

‫( اﻟﻌﺮﺟ ﺎن‬al-aarajan): ‫( ﻣﺸﻴﺔ اﻷﻋﺮج‬mishyatu al-a'aaraj) the walk of the a'aaraj.

‫( اﻟﻌ ﺮج‬al-aaraj): ‫ﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﻻ ان هﻮ و , آﺎﻟﺤﻘ ﺐ‬ ‫ اﻟﺒ ﻮل ﻣﺨﺮج ﻳﺴ‬it means al-haqab, which
is when the ejecting of the urine is not straight and is curved (‫ﺘﻘﻴﻢ ﻻ‬ ‫ ﻳﺴ‬la
yastaqeem).

‫( اﻟﻌ ﺮج‬al-aaraj): ‫ﺔ‬ ‫ اﻟﻤﻐ ﺮب ﻧﺤ ﻮ إﻧﻌﺮاﺟﻬ ﺎ ﻳﻘ ﺎل و ,اﻟﺸ ﻤﺲ ﻏﻴﺒﻮﺑ‬the setting of the sun,
and it is said: it's inejaajuha towards the West, which means, it's curved or archy path
towards the West.

‫( ﻋﺮج‬aaraja): ‫( ﻋ ﺮﻳﺞ‬aareej): ‫ﻊ‬
َََ ‫ ﻋ ﻼ و إرﺗﻔ‬raised and ascended up.

‫ﺮﻳﺞ ﻋ ّج‬
‫ﺮ‬ ‫( ﺗﻌ‬aarraja taareeja): ‫( ﻣ ّﻞ‬mayyala)
‫ﻴ‬ made curvy or archy.

‫( اﻟﻤﻨﻌﺮج‬al-munaaraj): ‫( اﻟﻤﻨﻌﻄ ﻒ‬al-munaataf) a curved turn ahead.
ْ َ َ ُْ

[So when Allah Almighty Says: ‫ , اﻟﻤﻌ ﺎرج ذي اﷲ‬it means that Allah Almighty is the
One who Created the archy and curvy orbits and paths of the Universe. They are not
straight shots! They are curvy. That's why Allah Almighty chose the Words ‫, ﻋﺮج‬
‫ اﻟﻤﻌ ﺎرج , ﻳﻌ ﺮﺟﻮن‬because they all speak about curvy routes to Heaven and not straight
ones.]

Furthermore, we read:

‫( اﻟﺸ ﺊ إﻧﻌ ﺮج‬in'aaraja al-shaya'): ‫ﻣﺎل و إﻧﻌﻄ ﻒ‬ ‫ﺎل .ﻳﺴﺮة و ﻳﻤﻨﺔ‬
ً َْ َ ً َ ْ َ ‫إﻧﻌ ﺮج :ﻳﻘ‬
‫ .اﻟﻨﻬ ﺮ‬Something that curved to the right and to the left. It is said: the
river ‫( إﻧﻌ ﺮج‬in'aaraja), which means the river curved to the right and to the left. It
is not straight.

‫ﺎرﻳﺞ‬ ‫( اﻟﻨﻬ ﺮ ﺗﻌ‬ta'aareej al-nahr): ‫ﻪ‬ ‫( ﻣﻨﻌﻄﻔﺎﺗ‬mun'atafatih) the river's curving points.

‫( ﻋﺮج‬aaraja): to swerve, to zigzag, to follow a zigzag course.
َََ

‫ﺎرﻳﺞ‬ ‫( ﺗﻌ‬ta'aareej): wavy lines.
‫( ﻣﻨﻌﺮج‬munaaraj): zigzag, winding.
ْ َ َ ُْ

• Winding: snaking, snaky.


So when Allah Almighty Said:

36:39 ‫آــــــــــــﺎﻟﻌرﺟون واﻟﻘﻣـــــــــــر ﻗـــــــــــدرﻧﺎﻩ ﻣﻧــــــــﺎزل ﺣــــﺗﻰ ﻋـــــﺎد‬
‫ـ‬
‫اﻟﻘـــــــــــــدﻳم‬

‫ ﻋﺮﺟﻮن‬is derived from ‫ ﻋﺮج‬or ‫ ,إﻧﻌ ﺮج‬and it clearly means that the moon's orbit does
curve to the right and the left, like the English-letter S!

Remember that the English language, and its letter S were not known to Arabia! And as
our scientists today say that the moon orbits the earth in S-shaped loops, Allah Almighty
also Said that the moon orbits the earth in dry and twisted date-tree branches loops, that
curve to the right and to the left, which is S-loops.


3/29/2009

That is why Allah Almighty Said looking like AN OLD date tree
branch.

Article #3:
"The Lunar Month

Another example of compound motions is the Lunar Month, which combines these two
motions:
1. Theorbit of the Moon around the Earth, which
appears as an eastward motion relative to the stars. This takes about 27.3
days to complete one orbit with respect to the stars (the sidereal month).
2. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun, which causes the location of the Sun to slowly
move eastward along the Ecliptic." (Source)

The moon's orbit around earth appears as an 'eastward motion.' So what is an eastward
motion, in general, for any planet? It is an S-shaped orbit as the next article says.

Article #4:


"....the planet appears to speed up relative to the stars and begins moving faster than the
stars toward the west, before it settles back into drifting once again toward the east each
day. This sudden motion to the west is called "retrograde motion," since the planet
seems to be regressing from its eastward drift. In this strange type of motion, the planet
forms a looping or S-shaped path against the background of the stars...." (Source)

Article #5:
"precession of the equinoxes, westward motion of the equinoxes along the ecliptic. This
motion was first noted by Hipparchus c.120 B.C. The precession is due to the
gravitational attraction of the moon and sun on the equatorial bulge of the earth, which
causes the earth's axis to describe a cone in somewhat the same fashion as a spinning top.
As a result, the celestial equator (see equatorial coordinate system), which lies in the
plane of the earth's equator, moves on the celestial sphere, while the ecliptic, which lies
in the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun, is not affected by this motion. The
equinoxes, which lie at the intersections of the celestial equator and the ecliptic, thus
move on the celestial sphere. Similarly, the celestial poles move in circles on the celestial
sphere, so that there is a continual change in the star at or near one of these poles (see
Polaris). After a period of about 26,000 years the equinoxes and poles lie once again at
nearly the same points on the celestial sphere. Because the gravitational effects of the
sun and moon are not always the same, there is some wobble in the motion of the earth's
axis; this wobble, called nutation, causes the celestial poles to move, not
in
perfect circles, but in a series of S-shaped curves with a
period of 18.6 years. There is some further precession caused by the gravitational
influences of the other planets; this precession affects the earth's orbit around the sun and
thus causes a shift of the ecliptic on the celestial sphere. The precession of the earth's
orbital plane is sometimes called planetary precession, and that of the earth's equatorial
plane (caused by the sun and moon) is called luni-solar precession; the combined effect
of the moon, the sun, and the planets is called general precession. Planetary precession is
much less than luni-solar precession. The precession of the equinoxes was first explained
by Isaac Newton in 1687." (Source)

Noble Verse(s) 10:5

Yusuf Ali:

[010:005] It is He Who made the sun to be a (source of light) shining glory and the moon
to be (reflecting to the) light (of beauty), and measured out stages for it; 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.

10:5 ‫وﻗـــــــــدرﻩ واﻟﻘﻣـــــــــــر ﻧـــــــورا اﻟﺷـــــــﻣس ﺿــــــﻳﺎء هـــو اﻟــــــــــذﻳن ﺟﻌــــﻞ‬
‫اﷲ‬ ‫ﻣﻧـــــــــﺎزل ﻟﺗﻌﻠﻣــــــــــــــوا ﻋـــــدد اﻟﺳـــــــــــﻧﻳن واﻟﺣﺳــــــــــﺎب ﻣــــــــﺎﺧﻠق‬
‫اﻻ ﺑـــــــــﺎﻟﺣق ﻳﻔﺻـــــﻞ اﻻﻳـــــــــــﺎت ﻟﻘــــــــوم ﻳﻌﻠﻣــــــــــون‬ ‫ذﻟـــــك‬

We find in Tafsir (interpretation of) Ibn Kahir, a prominent and leading Muslim scholar in
the 13th century, the following about WHY THE MOON HAS DIFFERENT emittions OF
LIGHT - from looking like a crecent, to a half moon to a full moon and all different shapes in
between:

"The sun rises each day and sets at the end of the day, giving one kind of light all the time,
but it moves, rising and setting at different points in the summer and winter, thus making
the days and nights longer or shorter alternatively according to the season. Its authority is in
the daytime, for it is the heavenly body that dominates the day. As for the moon, Allah has
decreed that it should pass through different phases. At the beginning of the month, the
moon appears small when it rises. It gives off little light, then on the second night its light
increases and it rises to a higher position, and the higher it rises the more light it gives --
even though it is reflected from the sun -- until it becomes full on the
fourteenth night of the month." (http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=36&tid=43568)

"He created the night with its darkness and the day with its light, and they alternate
without ceasing. And He created the sun with its shining light, and the moon with its
reflected light. and He allotted their stages and gave them separate orbits in the heavens."
(http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=41&tid=46752......First big paragraph)


So why would Ibn Kathir come up with this statement, many centuries before
man discovered that the earth was spherical and that the moon does indeed
reflect the sun's light? Well, according to

1. Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1] , Book 3, Pages 805, 808.




5. Arabic-English dictionary the Hans Wehr dictionary [6], Page 1008, 1009.

‫( ﻧ ﻮر‬noor): ‫( ﺑ ّﻦ‬bayyan) reveal, reflect.
‫ﻴ‬

‫ﺘﻨﺎر‬ ‫( ﺑ ﻪ إﺳ‬istanaara bihi): ‫( ﺷ ﻌﺎﻋﺔ إﺳﺘﻤﺪ‬istamadda shu'aaa'uh) was supplied by its
ّ
light.

‫( اﻟﻤﻜ ﺎن اﻧ ﺎر‬anaara al-makaan): ‫ﻪ وﺿ ﻊ‬ ‫( اﻟﻨ ﻮر ﻓﻴ‬wada'aa feehi al-noor) Put light
into it, or reflected light off of it.

‫( ًﺿ ﺎ يا اﻧ ﺎرت اﻟﺸ ﺠﺮو ﻧ ّرت‬nawwarat al-shajarah wa anaarat aydan): ‫ﻧﻮرهﺎ اﺧﺮﺟﺖ‬
ِ ‫ﻮ‬
(akhrajat nooraha) The plant reflected the light off of itself, or it showed the light off
of itself. However, plants, as we know, are not a source of light.

‫( اﻟﻨﺒ ﺖ اﻧ ﺎر‬anaara al-nabtu): ‫( ﺣﺴ ﻦ و ﻇﻬﺮ‬tha-hara wa hasan) the plant was revealed
well from light.

‫( ﻧ ﻮر‬noor): be revealed, to be lighted, to receive light.

So clearly, when Allah Almighty Said that the sun is ‫( ﺿ ﻴﺎء‬diyaa'a), a source of light,
and the moon a ‫ , ﻧ ﻮرا‬then clearly the moon:

1- Is reflecting to light, because it is ‫( ﺷ ﻌﺎﻋﺔ إﺳﺘﻤﺪ‬was supplied by light), as this is the
ّ
meaning of ‫ , إﺳ ﺘﻨﺎر‬which is derived from the root word ‫ ﻧ ﻮر‬noor.

2- Is reflecting to light, because it is ‫( ﺣﺴ ﻦ و ﻇﻬﺮ‬was revealed well from light) , as
this is the meaning of ‫ , اﻧ ﺎر‬as in ‫.اﻟﻨﺒ ﺖ اﻧ ﺎر‬

3- Is reflecting to light, because it receives light from the sun and it is lighted and
revealed by it.


3/29/2009

So which light is the moon reflecting? It is reflecting to the sun's ‫( ﺿ ﻴﺎء‬diyaa'a).
Again, ‫ , ﻧ ﻮرا واﻟﻘﻤ ﺮ ﺿ ﻴﺎء اﻟﺸ ﻤﺲ ﺟﻌ ﻞ اﻟ ﺬﻳﻦ هﻮ‬and the moon is the noor ‫ﻧ ﻮرا‬
to that diyaa' ‫ ﺿ ﻴﺎء‬of the sun!

Allah Almighty further Said:


Yusuf Ali:

[071:015] "'See ye not how God has created the seven heavens (of the earth, i.e., the 7
layers of our atmosphere) one above another,

[071:016] "'And made the moon a (reflecting) light in their midst, and made the sun as a
(Glorious) Lamp?

71:16 ‫ﺳ ﺮاﺟﺎ اﻟﺸ ﻤﺲ وﺟﻌ ﻞ ﻧ ﻮرا ﻓﻴﻬ ﻦ اﻟﻘﻤ ﺮ وﺟﻌ ﻞ‬

In this Noble Verse, Allah Almighty talked about the earth's atmospher and its
7 layers revealing the sun's lights that come from the sun and are reflected off
of the moon.

More on this in the Noble Quran soon, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is
Willing).

Furthermore, when we look at ‫( ﺿ ﻴﺎء‬diyaa'a), we find out that according to:






5. Al-Mawrid dictionary English-Arabic section [5], Page 528.


‫( ﺿ ﻴﺎء‬diyaa'a): ‫( ﻟ ﻚ اﺿ ﺎء ﻣﺎ ,اﻟﻀ ﻮء‬al-dawa', ma adaa'a laka) the light, and what it
originated from light to you.

• The following poem proves that ‫( ﺿــــــﻳﺎء‬diyaa'a) refers to the original light:

‫ إﻟ ِﺒﺎﺳﺎ ,ﺑﺎﻟ ُﺆاد , ُﻠﺘ ِﺴﺎ ,اﻏﺮ وﺟﻬﺎ اﻟﻨﺎر ﻟﻨ ﺎ اﺿﺎءت‬The fire has originated (‫ اﺿﺎءت‬is
ْ َ ُ ً ‫ﱠ‬ ً ‫ﻔ ِ ﻣ ﺒ‬ ‫ﺘ‬ ْ َ
derived from ‫ ) ﺿ ﻴﺎء‬for us the light of a mighty glow, that will always be
liked by the heart (or something like that).

Notice here that the fire is the originator and the source of the light. And
notice how NOOR or a derivative of it wasn't used.

‫( إﺳﺘﻀ ﺎء‬istadaa'): ‫( ﻧﻮرﻩ إﺳﺘﻤﺪ‬istamadda noorahu) the original light stretched its
ّ ُ
NOOR forth.

‫( ﺗﻀ ﱠأ‬tadawwa'a): ‫ اهﻠﻬﺎ اﻟﻨ ﺎر ﺑﻀﻮء ﻟﻴﺮى ﻇﻠﻤﺔ ﻓ ﻰ ﻗ ﺎم‬he got up during the darkness of
‫ﻮ‬ ٍ َِْ ِ
the night to see from the light of the fire, the people in the place.

• Notice again how the fire in this sentence is the originator and the source of the
light. And notice how NOOR or a derivative of it wasn't used.

‫( ﺿ ﻮء‬dawa'): to gleam, radiate, to illumine, illuminate, to shed light, cast light.

Allah Almighty further Said:



[024:035] Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. An example of its brilliance:
there is a lamp in a luminous niche. The lamp is in a glass which itself gleams like a
radiant star. It is lit by the oil of the blessed tree _ neither from the West nor the East.
The oil of the lamp is ready to glow by itself even without being kindled. The bright
luminous light is atop another brilliant light. Allah guides towards this light whomever
He wants and Allah quotes this parable for the people. Allah is knowledgeable of all
things!

Never is there a secret conference of three, where He is not the fourth (listening in); nor of

earth ? There is no secret counsel of three, but HE is their fourth, nor of five but HE is their
sixth, nor of less than that, nor of more, but HE is with them wheresoever they may be. Then
on the Day of Resurrection HE will inform them of what they did. Surely, ALLAH has full
knowledge of all things.

Shakir:

[058:007] Do you not see that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the
earth? Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them,
nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with
them wheresoever they are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of
resurrection: surely Allah is Cognizant of all things.

Pickthall:

[058:007] Hast thou not seen that Allah knoweth all that is in the heavens and all that is in
the earth ? There is no secret conference of three but He is their fourth, nor of five but He is
their sixth, nor of less than that or more but He is with them wheresoever they may be; and
afterward, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they did. Lo! Allah is

[058:007] Dost thou not perceive that God knoweth whatever is in heaven and in earth?
There is no private discourse among three persons, but He is the fourth of them; nor among
five, but He is the sixth of them; neither among a smaller number than this, nor a larger, but
He is with them; wheresoever they be: And He will declare unto them that which they have
done, on the day of resurrection; for God knoweth all things.

Muhammad Al-Hilali & Muhsin Khan:

[058:007] Have you not seen that Allah knows whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever
is on the earth? There is no Najwa (secret counsel) of three, but He is their fourth (with His
Knowledge, while He Himself is over the Throne, over the seventh heaven), nor of five but He
is their sixth (with His Knowledge), not of less than that or more, but He is with them (with
His Knowledge) wheresoever they may be; and afterwards on the Day of Resurrection, He
will inform them of what they did. Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of everything.

Palmer:

[058:007] Dost thou not see that God knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth?
and that there cannot be a privy discourse of three but He makes the fourth? nor of five but
He makes the sixth? nor less than that nor more, but that He is with them wheresoe'er they
be? then He will inform them of what they have done upon the resurrection day; verily, God
all things doth know!

Arberry:

[058:007] God has numbered it, and they have forgotten it. God is witness over everything.
Hast thou not seen that God knows whatsoever is in the heavens, and whatsoever is in the
earth? Three men conspire not secretly together, but He is the fourth of them, neither five
men, but He is the sixth of them, neither fewer than that, neither more, but He is with them,
wherever they may be; then He shall tell them what they have done, on the Day of
Resurrection. Surely God has knowledge of everything.

Khalifa: (why is he here?)

[058:007] Do you not realize that GOD knows everything in the heavens and everything on
earth? No three people can conspire secretly without Him being their fourth, nor five without
Him being the sixth, nor less than that, nor more, without Him being there with them
wherever they may be. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of everything
they had done. GOD is fully aware of all things.

Rodwell:

[058:007] Dost thou not see that God knoweth all that is in the Heavens and all that is in
the Earth? Three persons speak not privately together, but He is their fourth; nor five, but
He is their sixth; nor fewer nor more, but wherever they be He is with them. Then on the day


of resurrection He will tell them of their deeds: for God knoweth all things.

As virtually every single English translator on my web site,
http://www.quransearch.com/, have translated ADNA ‫ ادﻧ ﻰ‬in this Noble Verse,
58:7, to "lower" or "lesser", then based on what objective ground will we now reject
the same translation of "lowest land" to be applied to Noble Verse 30:3?

According to

So as we clearly see, the land which the Romans were defeated in were:

1- The lowest lands.

2- The most despicable lands, as the interpretation of Noble Verse 2:61 above, from
Lisan Al-Arab dictionary, along with the many other proofs that I've provided clearly
prove that ADNA means the LOWEST and MOST DESPISED.

3- At and near and around "ADNA" ‫" ادﻧ ﻰ‬THE LAND" ‫ . اﻻرض‬And what is this
"land"? It is the most despicable and lowest land!

Important Note: Perhaps, that is why Allah Almighty preceded "land" ‫ ارض‬with the
definite article THE ‫ ,ال‬and didn't say: ‫ ارﺿ ﻜﻢ ادﻧ ﻰ‬near YOUR LAND! No, He, the
Almighty, instead said ‫ - اﻻرض ادﻧ ﻰ‬making the reference to a specific foreign land,
which also happens to be the lowest and most despicable one.

So ADNA ‫ ادﻧ ﻰ‬here is applied to the status of the land, making it despicable and lowest,
and with the definite article THE ‫ , ال‬the defeat of the Romans happened near and around
that referenced doomed piece of land.


3/29/2009

So to put it together in a simpler form, Noble Verses 30:2-3 should read:

30:2 ‫ﻏﻠﺑــــــت اﻟـــــــــروم‬

30:3 ‫اﻻرض ادﻧ ﻰ ﻓ ﻲ‬

The Romans had been defeated at near and around THE
MOST DESPICABLE AND LOWEST LAND.

It just so happens that these lands were near the lowest spot on earth, the dead
sea area, which is approximately 400 meters below the sea level, and which
also happens to be the land where Sodom and Gomorrah were doomed in.

The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on earth. It is also the richest in concentrated
natural minerals, making the area a world - renowned natural health spa. The
ancient world knew of the area's wondrous curative properties and throughout the
ages people from the four corners of the earth have enjoyed its benefits.

3- From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea#In_Islam:
In Islam

In Islamic tradition, the Dead Sea was about the land in which the Prophet Lut (Lot in the
Hebrew scriptures) lived. The people of the towns and cities were wicked for their acts of


homosexuality, raping men, robbery and murder and had therefore been given a
punishment for such deeds. The punishment arrived when angels in the form of beautiful
men were sent down by God as guests for Lut to host. When Lut's people heard of the
men, they rushed to Lut's house to misbehave and rape the men. This was their final test
which they failed so the angel Gabriel raised the land where the prophet's people lived,
tipped it upside down and threw it back on earth, causing the ground near the impact to
cave in. Thus, the lowest land on Earth was formed because of this
punishment. The non-believers (in the monotheism doctrine) were destroyed and the
followers were saved. According to some interpretations, the sura of ar-Rum of the Quran
refers to the Dead Sea as the lowest place on Earth.[13][14]

Bedouin tribes have continuously lived in this area, and more recently explorers and
scientists arrived to analyze the minerals and conduct research into the unique climate.
Tourism in the region has been developed since the 1960s.

Recent History

The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves at Qumran at the Dead Sea. The world's
lowest road, Highway 90, runs along the Israeli and West Bank shores of the Dead Sea
at 393 m (1,289 ft) below sea level.

There are also health spas and hot springs along the shore, besides the unique water of the
Dead Sea itself. A golf course named for Sodom and Gomorrah was built by the British
at Kalia on the northern shore. The first major hotels were built in Israel, first at nearby
Arad, and since the 1960s at the Neve Zohar resort complex. The Jordanian side has seen
increasing development in recent years. For example, three international franchises have
opened seaside resort hotels near the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center along
the eastern coast of the Dead Sea. [15]

4- From http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/predictions_01.html:

INTRODUCTION

Another miraculous aspect of the Qur'an is its prediction of future events, all of which have so far been fulfilled. This is
one of the proofs that the Qur'an is the Word of Allah. In the following pages, we will dwell on some of these events.

THE VICTORY OF BYZANTIUM


3/29/2009

An astonishing prediction is found in the first verses of Surat ar-Rum, which refers to the Byzantine Empire, the eastern
part of the later Roman Empire: The Byzantine Empire, which had met with a great defeat, would soon gain victory.

Alif, Lam, Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, but after their defeat they will be victorious within three to nine
years . The affair is Allah's from beginning to end. On that day, the believers will rejoice. (Qur'an, 30:1-4)

These verses were revealed around 620, almost 7 years after the idolatrous Persians had severely defeated Christian
Byzantium in 613-14. In fact, Byzantium had suffered such heavy losses that it seemed impossible for it even to
survive, let alone be victorious again. Following their defeat of the Byzantines at Antioch in 613, the Persians seized
control of Damascus, Cilicia, Tarsus, Armenia, and Jerusalem. The loss of Jerusalem in 614 was particularly traumatic
for the Byzantines, for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed and the Persians seized the "True Cross," the
symbol of Christianity.174 In addition, the Avars, Slavs, and Lombards also were posing serious threats to the
Byzantine Empire. The Avars had reached as far as the walls of Constantinople. Emperor Heraclius ordered the gold
and silver in churches to be melted and turned into money in order to meet the army's expenses. When this proved
insufficient, bronze statues were melted down in order to mint more money. Many governors had revolted against
Heraclius, and Byzantium was on the point of collapse.175 Mesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia,
which had earlier belonged to Byzantium, were invaded by the idolatrous Persians.176

The Dead Sea basin where Byzantium was defeated by Persians. Above is a
satellite photograph of the region. The Lake of Lut region, which is the lowest
region of the world, is 395 meter below the sea level.

In short, everyone was expecting Byzantium to be destroyed. But during this time, the first verses of Surat ar-Rum were
revealed, announcing that Byzantium would triumph in 3 to 9 years. This predicted victory seemed so impossible that
the Arab polytheists thought it would never come true.


Like all the other predictions in the Qur'an, however, this one also came true. In
622, Heraclius gained a number of victories over the Persians and conquered
Armenia.177 In December 627, the two empires fought a decisive battle at Nineveh,
some 50 kilometres east of the Tigris river, near Baghdad. This time too, the
Byzantine army defeated the Persians. A few months later, the Persians had to sue
for peace with Byzantium, which obliged them to return the territories they had
taken from it.178

The Byzantine victory was completed when Emperor Heraclius defeated the Persian
ruler Khosrow II in 630, recaptured Jerusalem, and regained the "True Cross" for
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.179 In the end, "the victory of the Romans"
proclaimed by Allah in the Qur'an miraculously came true within the verses' stated
"three to nine years" time frame.

Another miracle revealed in these verses is the announcement of a geographical fact
that could not have been known by anyone at that time: that the Romans had been

the Dead Sea basin. The altitude
interpreted as "a nearby place" in many translations. However, this is not the literal

meaning, but rather a figurative interpretation. The word adna , derived from the
determined with modern
word dani (low), means “the lowest”. The word ard means “the world.” Therefore,

measurements led to the
discovery that this region is the
Some interpreters of the Qur'an, considering the closeness of the region in question
"lowest region on the Earth."
to the Arabs, prefer the "closest" meaning of the word. However, the actual meaning
indicates a very important geological fact: The Dead Sea, one of the regions in
which the Byzantines were defeated in 613-14, is the lowest region on Earth.180

As stated earlier, for Christian Byzantium, the loss of the True Cross was the heaviest blow in that defeat in Jerusalem,
located near the shores of the Dead Sea.

The Byzantines and the Persians actually fought at the Dead Sea basin, which is situated at the
intersection point of the lands belonging to Syria, Palestine, and Jordan. At 399 meters below sea


3/29/2009

level, the Dead Sea is the "lowest" place on Earth's surface.181

However, as only modern measuring methods and equipment can prove this fact, it would have been impossible for
anyone living at that time to realise this truth. Yet, the Qur'an states clearly that this region was the "lowest land" on
Earth and thereby provides further evidence that it is the Word of Allah.

http://www.islamweb.net/ver2/archive/article.php?lang=E&id=47513:

".....When we investigated the lowest part of the earth, we found that it was
exactly the same spot that witnessed the battle in which the Romans were
defeated. When we informed Professor Palmer about this, he contested saying that
there were many other areas, which are lower than the one referred to in the
Qur'anic verse. He gave examples and names of other areas in Europe and in the
United States. We assured him that our information was verified and correct. He
had with him a topographical globe that showed elevations and depressions.

He said that it would be easy with that globe to ascertain which was the lowest
spot on earth. He turned the globe with his hands and focused his sign on the area
near Jerusalem. To his astonishment, there was a small arrow sticking out towards
that area with words: "the lowest part on the face of the earth."

Professor Palmer was quick to concede that our information was correct. He
proceeded to speak, as you now see him with the globe, saying that this was
actually the lowest part of the earth....."

79:30 ‫واﻻرض ﺑﻌــــــد ذﻟـــــك‬ ‫دﺣﺎهـــــــــﺎ‬

79:31 ‫وﻣﺮﻋﺎهﺎ ﻣﺎءهﺎ ﻣﻨﻬﺎ اﺧﺮج‬

It also means that Allah Almighty Made a protective ceiling or umbrella
for the earth, which without it, NO WATER COULD POSSIBLY
EXIST ON EARTH!

So based on all of these meanings, what
do we find? We find that:
1- The earth is a moving object that was pushed or thrown by Allah Almighty into
space.
