Let us read this article to discover that all meanings of Quran are accurate and also to glorify Allah Almighty the creator of everything … |
At the beginning of the twenty century, the scientists claimed that words of Qur'an are not accurate from the scientific point of view because Allah Almighty described all things in the space that they are floating; also those scientists claimed that the word floating is not accurate because all planets and galaxies are rotating not floating.
But after many years of researches, the astronomers discovered what is called the cosmic building which concludes that the entire universe is like a perfect building.
The scientists discovered that universe is full of material and empty space is not existed, so all planets are floating in universe but in low density, in fact this reality is discovered few years ago.
Recent scientists confirm that empty space is not existed but every part of universe is full of material and substance, so all planets and galaxies are floating in material.
Here we have to read what astronomers in NASA say about that: In space, astronauts do not walk on the floor like people on Earth do. They float around inside their spacecraft. That is because of microgravity. Microgravity is when things seem to be weightless. "Micro-" means "very small." Microgravity is when the pull of gravity is not very strong. In microgravity, it is easy to move heavy objects. Astronauts can even move things that weigh hundreds of pounds with just the tips of their fingers.

Therefore, NASA used to send their Astronauts for training three weeks of swimming under water as a preparation fortheir space trip.

Conclusion
Muslims holly book of Quran used a scientific word more than 1400 years ago when Allah Almighty described the movement of all planets, galaxies and every moving object in the space as they are "floating".
Here we have to read and contemplate in the holy verse as Allah Almighty says:
"And He it is who has created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in an orbit floating." (Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’-verse33).
