Orbits – A Visual Phenomena In The Qur’an
The Sun’s orbit was only recently discovered in the last century; however, the Qur’an revealed this fact to us more than 1,400 years ago. That the Sun, other planets and celestial bodies all have an orbit of their own. In fact, the word choice (“each in orbit”) in the verse presents a palindromic structure i.e., the sentence reads the same backward and forward to visually state the fact of orbiting as well.
أَفَلَا یَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَۚ وَلَوۡ كَانَ مِنۡ عِندِ غَیۡرِ ٱللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا۟ فِیهِ ٱخۡتِلَـٰفࣰا كَثِیرࣰا
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.
[4:82]
وَٱلشَّمۡسُ تَجۡرِی لِمُسۡتَقَرࣲّ لَّهَاۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ تَقۡدِیرُ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡعَلِیمِ
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
[36:38]
وَٱلۡقَمَرَ قَدَّرۡنَـٰهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّىٰ عَادَ كَٱلۡعُرۡجُونِ ٱلۡقَدِیمِ
And the moon – We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
[36:39]
لَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ یَنۢبَغِی لَهَاۤ أَن تُدۡرِكَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّیۡلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِۚ وَكُلࣱّ فِی فَلَكࣲ یَسۡبَحُونَ
It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
[36:40]
① Attend Friday Prayer with Conviction
It is the command of Allah ﷻ (Al-Quran 62:9). Be in the company of the angels (Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim).
② Find Meaning & Inspire
Despite the quality of the khutbah, listen and find meaning to improve yourself. If you are the Khateeb, inspire your community to change.
③ Continuously Develop & Improve
The best day on which the sun rises is Friday (Muslim). Let it be the start of your week of reflection, self-accounting, planning and applying Islam in your life as per the Prophet ﷺ.
④ Seek Reward from Allah ﷻ
Expiation for sins committed from Friday to Friday (Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim). For every step you take, the reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year will be recorded for you (Sahih al-Tirmidhi & Al-Sunan al-Kubra).
