When I was in school,
I passed my school in 1982,
about 29 years back. There I had learned
in science
that the sun, though it revolves, it does
not rotate about its own axis. But the
Quran mentions in Suri Anbiya,
chapter number
21, verse number
33.
It is he who has created
the night and the day.
The sun and the moon.
Each one traveling in orbit with its own
motion. The Quran says the sun and the
moon, besides revolving, it also rotates about its
own axis. And today,
recently, a few decades earlier,
science has come to know that the sun
rotates and takes about 25 days to complete
one rotation, which has been incorporated in most
of the school textbooks throughout the world.
There may be certain skeptics who will say,
it's nothing great that the Quran speaks about
astronomy,
since the Arabs were advanced in the field
of astronomy.
I do agree that the Arabs were advanced
in the field of astronomy, but I'd like
to remind them
that the Arabs became advanced in the field
of astronomy
a few 100
years after the Quran was revealed. So it
is from the Quran that the Arabs learned
about astronomy and not the vice versa.
