Earth is smaller than the Sun by three hundred thousand times, but imagine if earth was the same size as the sun.... then life would be impossible. Hence this is a grace from Allah…. |
In early 2009, Scientists discovered a planet with the same size as Jupiter which revolves around a relatively cold star (Half mass of the Sun) ,and that star is old and known as "Red Giant" and it is twenty light years away from Earth.
Although this planet is so near to its sun, but it is a cold and desolated planet because its sun is dimmed and is not as dazzling as our sun. Here, we remember the grace of the Sun which Allah subjugates to us as it is dazzling and not dimmed. Allah says: (And have appointed a dazzling lamp) (An-Naba: 13)
A drawn picture by an artist which was published by the "National Geographic" website, it shows us a planet revolving around a Sun which is equal to its size, and of course the planet is free of any life because of the cold on its surface.
Of course my dears, we cite these scientific discoveries to expand our vision for the universe, and to recognize the greatness of Allah. Thinking about the creation of the universe is no less than the cult of praying and Hajj (pilgrimage).
When we see this planet that Allah created as the size as its sun which is orbiting around it, we remember Allah's blessing which subjugate our earth in the right size and distance from the sun, and to enjoy warmth of life on its Ground. Allah says: (And if you would count the favors of Allah, never could you be able to count them. Truly! Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful...) (An-Nahl: 18)
