SERIES 1:THE SUN AND THE
MOON

Do you not see how God has created seven heavens in
full harmony with one another, and has made the moon a light therein, and made
the sun a (radiant) lamp? (Surah Nuh, 15-16)
We have built above you seven strong heavens, and have
placed (therein the sun), a lamp full of blazing splendour. (Surat an-Naba, 12-13)
Blessed Is He Who has set up in the skies
constellations, and has placed among them a (radiant) lamp and a light-giving
moon. (Surat
al-Furqan, 61)
The difference between the sun and the moon is quite evident in the
verses. One is depicted as a source of light and the other as a
light-reflecting agent. It is impossible for such a detail to have been known
at that time. It was not until centuries later that men came into possession of
this knowledge. Therefore, the fact that this information was already given in
the Qur'an is one of the proofs that the Qur'an was revealed by God.
Now, let us turn our attention to another magnificent characteristic of
the heavenly bodies - which is their movements in space.
