Merely counting a quintillion stars would take longer than the age of the universe, yet God created them, which shows His greatness.1
The splitting of the moon, a sign of the end, already happened in 1969 when people landed on the moon and brought back moon rocks.1
God's signature of 19 appears in the heavens, since the sun, moon, and earth realign every 19 years and Halley's comet returns every 76 years, which is 19 times 4.1, 2
The Quran and science teach that God designed the sun and moon to run with predictable precision, so the start of each lunar month, including Ramadan, can be calculated exactly in advance.1, 2
The Quran states that the sun, the moon, and the galaxies each float in their own orbits, matching modern science.1, 2
Submitters do not worship the moon, because God forbids prostrating before the sun or the moon and commands prostrating before the God who created them.1, 2
Because the lunar year is shorter than the solar year, Ramadan comes 10 to 12 days earlier each year, testing whether we fast in every season.1, 2
Sighting the crescent moon is unnecessary to begin fasting, since scientific calculation gives the new month, and one compares its start time with sunset.1, 2, 3
Examples of 19 in the universe are that the sun, moon, and earth line up in the same relative position every 19 years, and Halley's Comet returns every 76 years, which is 19 times 4.1, 2
God is not a man, an animal, a plant, an idol, a machine, or a heavenly body, because the maker of all things must be different from and greater than what He makes.1, 2
Because God made the sun and moon calculation devices and we can now compute moon phases precisely, physical sighting of the moon is not needed to set the start and end of Ramadan.1, 2
Because the lunar year is shorter than the solar year, Ramadan moves through the seasons, a design by God that tests whether we fast regardless of day length or temperature.1, 2
Physical sighting of the moon is not needed to start or end Ramadan, since God made the sun and moon calculation devices and we can determine moon phases precisely.1, 2
God prevents heavenly bodies from crashing onto the earth except by His command, and He fully controls the entry, speed, and landing of any meteorite that strikes.1, 2, 3
The sun, though millions of miles away, precisely maintains the temperature needed for life on earth, and God has committed the sun and moon to our service.1, 2
Abraham, in his youth, reflected on the stars, moon, and sun to learn about God and then denounced his people's idolatry.1, 2
God made the sun and the moon to serve as calculation devices, which is how we can know the timing of events like the solstice.1, 2, 3, 4
There is nothing wrong with noting the astronomical passing of a season or calendar event, as long as we attribute it to God.1
God made the stars to guide people through darkness on land and sea.1
God made the sun and moon each run in its own orbit for a set life span, and made them serve people as devices for counting years and calculating.1, 2, 3
The vast distances between stars, which make collisions between passing galaxies very unlikely, glorify God, Lord of the Universe.1
God gave geese navigation by the sun and stars long before man, and the Quran recorded star navigation over 1400 years before science discovered it.1, 2
The Quran states that the sun and moon each float in their own orbit, something school books taught correctly about the sun only recently.1, 2
Ramadan begins the day after a new moon that occurs before local sunset, and ends on the day the next new moon occurs before sunset.1, 2
God made the night and day, the sun and the moon, as signs and as a system for timing and for counting the years.1, 2
The creation of the heavens and earth is more awesome than human creation, and new stars are born every day while older ones disintegrate.1, 2
Each sunrise brings a new chance to repent, implore God, and grow closer to Him, so a believer should have hope in each new day.1, 2
The sun's light reaches earth carrying energy that is nurturing to life, and this happens according to the design of God.1
Though revealed over 1400 years ago, the Quran contains many scientific verses, including confirmation of the Big Bang and of the sun and moon each floating in its orbit.1, 2, 3
Fixed yearly sunrise and sunset times for each place match the verse saying night and day never deviate, and suggest the earth orbits the sun.1
The plural verb yasbahoon in verses 36:40 and 21:33 refers to three bodies, the sun, the moon, and the earth, each floating in its own orbit.1
The sun also has its own orbit, circling the center of the Milky Way galaxy, as verse 36:40 indicates.1, 2
The writer thinks the Quran refers to the earth orbiting the sun only implicitly, because stating it openly might have shaken the faith of pre modern believers.1
God gave the sun to distinguish day from night and to help calculate prayer times, and the moon gives light in darkness and helps keep the Earth stable.1, 2
Ramadan begins on the day after the new moon if the new moon occurs before sunset at one's location, and the same comparison determines the last day of fasting.1, 2
God controls all creation and all commands, and the sun, moon, and stars serve by His command.1
It is extreme arrogance to claim the universe happened by accident, since God planned every detail of each star's life when He created it.1, 2
Our solar system lies in a safe zone of the Milky Way, away from the dangerous galactic core and spiral arms.1
The earth's distance from the sun and its tilt are just right to keep a livable temperature and the seasons.1, 2, 3
The moon stabilizes the earth's tilt and regulates tides, and Jupiter and Saturn sweep away dangerous comets, as God prevents heavenly bodies from crashing onto the earth except by His command.1, 2, 3
God has committed the sun, moon, night, and day to serve us, each running in its orbit for a specific life span.1, 2
The alternation of night and day is a sign from God for people of intelligence and serves as a timing system for us.1, 2, 3
Without the moon, nights would be much darker, days would be far shorter, and the earth's tilt would vary, causing turbulent weather and extreme or absent seasons.1, 2, 3
Because the lunar year is 10 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Ramadan moves earlier each year, which tests whether we fast regardless of day length or heat.1, 2
God made the stars to guide people in darkness on land and sea, and the stars are committed by His command.1, 2
God made the sun radiant and the moon a light, with phases so people can count years and calculate, and He created all this for a specific purpose.1, 2
God merges the night into the day and the day into the night, and He has committed the sun and the moon to run their orbits for a set period.1, 2
The night, the day, the sun, and the moon are God's proofs, and people must not bow down to the sun or moon but only to God who created them.1
The moon splitting prophecy is a metaphor fulfilled on July 21, 1969, when the astronauts left the moon carrying 21 kilograms of lunar rocks, not by the landing itself.1, 2
