jazakallah khayr for sharing these beautiful verses and your reflections. on ALLAH (SWT) swearing by the position of the stars specially, i am reminded of the cosmic distance ladder and how much of an achievement in logic and mathematics it has been for us humans to solve the question of what is around us, from the radii of the earth, moon and sun, the distance between them all the way to the size of the galaxy and universe. in the time of the ancient greeks, some scholars used geometry to estimate the sun as being massive and quite far away (+ heliocentric) even though it appears to be the same size as the moon—what complicated this was the greeks could not imagine that the stars which appear fixed or moving at a constant rate could exist under this framework because they would have to be so massive and so far away. if only they knew the might of ALLAH who is limitless, who has created space and time, who has created such a marvelous universe that we can only say subhanallah when we examine anything from the subatomic level to the galactic, from the most simple of life to ourselves!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful reflections, it's made me think more deeply about (8:24), which is one of the verses that has always stuck with me.
It’s such a memorable verse, I could’ve included its entirety because it’s so beautiful and impactful but that warrants a much longer post! Thank you for reading :)
JazakiAllah khair for your reflection on these very beautiful verses. I agree that the verse about attributing lies to Allah should make us pause and take it as a warning for everyone, including Muslims. We must be extremely careful when attributing anything to Him or when attempting to interpret the meanings of His Book. Thank you again!
Wow. Mashallah. Amazing job <3
So kind! Thank you 🤍
