Stars that Hide and Move Swiftly
- Categories: Scientific Miracles of the Quran -
So verily, I swear by the stars that recede (i.e.disappear
during the day and appear during the night), And by the (cleaning)
stars that move swiftly and hide themselves. Allah, the Almighty,
says: [So verily, I swear by the stars that recede (i.e. disappear
during the day and appear during the night), And by the (cleaning)
stars that move swiftly and hide themselves.]
{At-Takwir:15-16}
{فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
﴿١٥﴾ الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ}
[التكوير:15-16]
Transliteration: fala okosemu bel khnnas algawari lkonnas
The Scientific Fact:
Black holes are the late stages of the life of gigantic stars which
are five times larger than the sun. These stars are of great
density and gravity that they almost gravitate everything even
light whose speed is 300,000 km/. Therefore, they are given this
name (i.e. black holes) because anything that approaches them
disappears, and they are seen as black holes in space.
These giant hidden stars sweep away anything in their way including
other stars and that is why they are called gigantic
vacuum-cleaners. These facts are proven by the calculations made by
Karl Schwars Child in 1916 and
Robert Oppenheimer in 1934.
Since 1971, the existence of such black holes in space has become
more and more probable. For instance, scientists believe that our
galaxy (the Milky Way) is considered one of these black
holes.
Facets of Scientific
Inimitably:
Allah, the Almighty, swore by these things to confirm the fact that
the Ever-Glorious Qur'an is a Divine revelation. He (Exalted and
Glorified be He) says: [So verily, I swear by the stars that recede
(i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night). And by
the (cleaning) stars that move swiftly and hide themselves. And by
the night as it departs; And by the dawn as it brightens; Verily,
this is the Word (this Qur'an brought by) a most honorable
messenger [Jibril (Gabriel), from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon him)].] {At-Takwir:15-19}
{فَلَا أُقْسِمُ
بِالْخُنَّسِ﴿١٥﴾ الْجَوَارِ
الْكُنَّسِ﴿١٦﴾ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا
عَسْعَسَ﴿١٧﴾ وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا
تَنَفَّسَ﴿١٨﴾ إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ
كَرِيم}

The importance of this kind of confirmation lies in the object used
for swearing here, which is described in a way tantamount to black
holes. The black holes are running stars that move in their poles,
and hide themselves after having been obvious, as they are at the
end of their lives.
They produce no light due to their gravity which enables them to gravitate everything in their way and clear their way by swallowing up everything around.
The Ever-Glorious Qur'an describes them as being 'cleaners' in
conformity with the scientific description.
The Qur'anic description which confirms the scientific one stands
as decisive evidence that the Ever-Glorious Qur'an is the true word
of Allah - Glory be to Him
