THE HELIO-CENTRIC SYSTEM

Research by Zakir Ibn Ahmed

He created the heavens and also the Earth with the truth. He wraps the night around the day and wraps the day around the night, and has created the Sun and Moon subservient, everyone running for a nominal term. Is He not so the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving? ( Surat az-Zumar, 5)

In the higher than verse the movement of the world is delineated by the word “yukawwiru,” that comes from root verb “takwir,” that means “to conceal a spherical body,” within the method that the rotation of the world offers rise to nighttime and day, just like the winding of a turban. additionally to the spherical form of the world the word is additionally the foremost correct expression of its movement around the Sun. owing to the Earth’s spherical form and its movement around the Sun, the Sun invariably illuminates one aspect of the world whereas the opposite is dark. The aspect in shadow is shrouded by the darkness of night, to get replaced by the brightness of day once the Sun rises. The positions of the Sun and Earth are discovered as follows in Surah Ya Sin:

And the Sun runs to its resting place. that's the decree of the Almighty, the wise. and that we have prescribed set phases for the Moon, till it finally ends up trying like associate recent palm bract. it's not for the Sun to overtake the Moon nor for the night to outstrip the day; everyone is swimming in a very sphere. (Surah Ya Sin, 38-40)

The movements of the Sun and Moon in verse forty of Surah Ya Sin ar delineate by the Arabic word "yasbahoona," that means “flowing, passing or swimming.” This word refers to associate action performed by somebody on their own. somebody acting in line with this verb continues to perform it alone, with no intervention from anyone else. The higher than verses could thus be bearing on the Sun’s freelance movement within the universe, freelance of the other heavenly body. (Allah is aware of the reality.) it's not possible for the US to envision or follow the movement of the Sun with our own eyes. it's solely doable to work out that movement victimization special technological instrumentation. As explicit in verse thirty-nine of Surah Ya Sin, additionally to rotating around its own axis once every twenty-six days, the Sun conjointly moves through its own course.

The verse conjointly reports that the Sun isn't allowed to “overtake the Moon,” and also the Qur’an so states that the Sun and Moon don't revolve around the same body, as astronomers place it. At the identical time, the verse makes it clear that there's no association between the motion liable for night and day and also the movement of the Sun and Moon. (Allah is aware of the reality.)

Until the sixteenth century, it had been thought that the world was the middle of the universe. This read is understood because of the “geocentric model,” from the Greek words geo (Earth) and central (center). This belief was questioned by the noted physicist astronomer in 1543 in his book Diamond State Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres), within which he steered that the world and also the alternative planets revolve around the Sun. however, as a result of observations employing a telescope performed by an astronomer in 1610, it had been scientifically established that the world revolves around the Sun. Since it had up to now been thought that the Sun turned around the Earth, most students of the time rejected Copernicus’ theory.  The noted physicist Johannes Kepler's views starting off the movements of the planets confirmed the helio-centric model within the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. during this model, whose name comes from the words Greek deity (Sun) and central (center), the Sun is that the center of the universe, instead of the world. alternative heavenly bodies conjointly revolve around the Sun. however, this was all discovered 1400 years agone within the Qur’an.

By speech communication that the world was the middle of the universe, the traditional Greek physicist Ptolemy was liable for the geo-centric plan of the universe that prevailed for many years. On the contrary, all the celebs and planets were considered revolving around the Earth. Despite these current errors of the time, the Qur’an contains several expressions that trust the scientific facts relating to day and night:

By the Sun and its morning brightness, and also the moon once it follows it, and also the day once it displays it, and also the night once it conceals it (Surat ash-Shams, 1-4)

As embarked on within the higher than verse, day, the brightness of the Sun, is that the results of the movement of the world. it's not the movement of the Sun that's liable for night and day. In alternative words, the Sun is immobile in terms of night and day. the data within the Qur’an refutes the thesis that the world is mounted whereas the Sun revolves around it.  The Qur’an is clearly descended from the presence of our Lord, He UN agency is unchained by area and time. As science and technology advance additional and additional samples of the compatibility between the Qur’an and science are coming back to lightweight. this is often embarked on in another verse from the Qur’an:

There is instruction in their stories for individuals of intelligence. this is often not a narration that has been fictional however confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and steerage and a mercy for those that believe. (Surah Yusuf, 111)
