THE LIGHT OF THE MOON IS REFLECTED LIGHT (QUR'AN AND SCIENCE)

[font=courier]THE LIGHT OF THE MOON IS REFLECTED LIGHT FROM
QURAN[/font]
It was believed by earlier civilizations that the moon emanates
its own light.
Science now tells us that the light of the moon is reflected
light. However this fact was mentioned in the Qur�aan 1,400
years ago in the following verse:.
�Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, And placed
therein a Lamp And a Moon giving light.� [Al-Qur�aan 25:61]
The Arabic word for the sun in the Qur�aan, is shams. It is
referred to as siraaj, which means a �torch� or as wahhaaj which
means �a blazing lamp� or as diya which means �shining glory�.
All three descriptions are appropriate to the sun, since it
generates intense heat and light by its internal combustion.
The Arabic word for the moon is qamar and it is described in the
Qur�aan as muneer, which is a body that gives nur i.e. light.
Again, the Qur�aanic description matches perfectly with the true
nature of the moon, which does not give off light itself and is
an inert body that reflects the light of the sun.
Not once in the Qur�aan, is the moon mentioned as siraaj,
wahhaaj or diya or the sun as nur or muneer. This implies that
the Qur�aan recognizes the difference between the nature of
sunlight and moonlight.
Consider the following verses related to the nature of light
from the sun and the moon: �It is He who made the sun To be a
shining glory And the moon to be a light (Of beauty).�
[Al-Qur�aan 10:5]
�See ye not How Allah has created The seven heavens One above
another, �And made the moon A light in their midst, and made the
sun As a (Glorious) Lamp?� [Al-Qur�aan 71:15-16]
