Tahun Mendarat di Bulan dan Surah al Qamar

Jika dibilang ayat-ayat al Quran daripada surah al Qamar sehingga pengakhiran al Quran, bilangan ayatnya adalah sebanyak 1389.

Tahun 1389 menurut kalendar Islam adalah bersamaan dengan tahun 1969 menurut kalendar Gregorian.

Dan pada tahun 1969 lah merupakan tahun di mana manusia berjaya buat pertama kalinya mendarat di bulan.

Namun, ada juga yang mengatakan bahawa berita angkasawan Amerika Syarikat, Neil Amstrong tersebut hanyalah suatu rekaan. Kebenarannya, hanya Allah yang tahu!

Yaum, Yaumaini dan Ayyam

Kalimah Yaum=365 kali

Kalimah Yaumaini& Ayyam=30 kali

Perkataan “sehari” (yaum) digunakan sebanyak 365 kali di dalam al Quran. Angka 365 bukan sahaja merujuk kepada bilangan hari di dalam kalendar, tetapi ia juga menunjukkan kaitan astronomi antara bumi dan matahari. Apabila bumi kita lengkap mengelilingi matahari, maka ia telah berputar 365 kali mengelilingi paksinya.

Perkataan “sehari” digunakan di dalam al Quran sebanyak 365 kali bersamaan dengan peredaran bumi mengelilingi matahari yang mengambil masa 365 hari. Angka 365 bukanlah suatu kebetulan! Bumi ini sendiri telah cukup untuk membuktikan mukjizat al Quran.

Sementara itu, perkataan “yaumaini dan ayyam” yang membawa maksud “dua hari dan hari-hari” digunakan di dalam al Quran sebanyak 30 hari. Ini merujuk kepada bilangan hari dalam sebulan iaitu 30 hari.

Di dalam kalendar solar, bilangan hari dalam sebulan mengandungi 30 atau 31 hari manakala di dalam kalendar lunar sebanyak 29 atau 30 hari. Maka, angka 30 adalah angka pertengahan antara 2 kalendar ini. Masa yang diambil oleh bulan untuk mengelilingi bumi adalah selama 29.53 hari. Jika dibundarkan, maka nilainya adalah 30.

Dengan keajaiban matematik ini, kita menyaksikan bahawa al Quran yang diturunkan Allah itu mempunyai nilai yang tepat antara bilangan penggunaan perkataannya dan juga peredaran planet di alam semesta. Subhanallah!

The Roof: Atmosphere

Surah al Anbiya': 32

"And we set up the heaven as a roof well-protected; yet still from our signs they are turning away."

This post is regarding the phrase "roof" which is referred to the atmosphere.

Dr. El-Fandy in his book, says:

The earth’s roof is its atmosphere. It is composed of a mixture of gases, which are preserved and not allowed to escape into space due to the relatively large gravity of the earth. This condition could not be realized on the moon, which lost its roof and thus became roofless, due to its relatively small gravitational force. In this way the moon soon lost the water of its oceans and seas. It evaporated into the vast space.

The earth's atmosphere or roof provides vital services to all living creatures on earth:

1) It contains oxygen necessary for the life of both the animals and the plant kingdoms, as well as Man.

2) It carries water vapour from the earth surface up to the upper layers of the atmosphere where clouds form and give rain. This process involves the source of fresh water on earth.

3) It contains the carbon dioxide gas, which is absorbed by plants receiving sunlight by day to form sugar and starch.

4) Sound waves propagate through the air, thus we can hear the voice of each other. This is not the case on the moon.

5) Daylight is due to the scattering and diffuse reflection of sunrays in the thin air layer extending from the earth's surface up to 200 kilometers and facing the sun. This layer may be referred to as the (skin-layer). The rest of the atmosphere and space are dark and dim. As the earth rotates the skin-layer keeps facing the sun and appears as though it is flayed from the body of the atmosphere.

Thus we can see that the scattering of sunlight is the reason behind daytime on earth. If we ascend outside the atmosphere of the earth, we find that the universal space is dark in spite of the fact that the sun is there. This means that the light is snatched from the night.

The Use of Electricity

And We made a fount of molten copper flow out for him. (Qur'an, 34:12)

One of Allah's great blessings to Prophet Sulayman (as) was "a fount of molten copper." This can be understood in several senses. By the use of melted copper, it may be referring to the existence, at his time, of an advanced technology that employed electricity. We know that copper is one of the best metals for conducting electricity and heat, and thus constitutes the basis of the electrical industry, which uses much of the copper produced in the world.

The expression "flow out" may indicate that electricity can be used in many fields. (Allah knows best.)
