So what are those slinkers, runners and sinkers that the Almighty swore with in Quran (Al Takweer:16), the books of Interpretation such as (Al Tabari) talked about the five known planets at the time, another example was mentioned when a man walked to Ali and asked him, what are the slinkers,\u00a0runners and sinkers, Ali said, those are the planets. In other words the Almighty described the planets as slinkers, runners and sinkers!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n To shed more light on the subject, we need to refer back to the original three words \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062e\u064f\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0633\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u064f\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0633\u0650 <\/span>” So I swear by the retreating stars – Those that run [their courses] and disappeare”<\/strong><\/span><\/span> (Al Takweer :15, 16),<\/span> in the holy Quran and get the linguistic\u00a0meaning\u00a0behind those words, The word Khonnas \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064f\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0633\u0650 in arabic dictionary means to contract and wrap around itself. The word Jawar \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650 refers to the action of movement ; as per the books of \u00a0interpretation, horses move, the sun moves and the wind moves. The word Konnas \u0627\u0644\u0643\u064f\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0633\u0650 means to sweep leftovers and dirt. In other words, the Almighty described the planets as they wrap around themselves and contract, they move and they sweep dirt\u00a0& leftovers. A difficult to comprehend description of the planets; isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Planets were first mentioned in Babylonian scripts as the\u00a0celestial\u00a0objects that move over time in the night sky against background stars, Pluto was the latest to be discovered and the most\u00a0controversial as well,\u00a0the reason for this was that when Pluto was first discovered, it was believed to be larger than planet earth, so it was declared as a planet, as time passed, scientists realized that Pluto was only 18% that of the size of earth, however, it maintained the title planet while other solar objects of similar size were classified as dwarf planets .<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Scientifically, the strength of gravity of any object depends on its mass, for example, it is known that the moon\u2019s gravity is 1\/6 that of earth, so, if a person weighs 60 Kilo\u2019s on earth, he would weight only 10 Kilo\u2019s on the moon, in other words, the earth\u2019s gravity is six time stronger than that of the moon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Inner solar system, how planets are born<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n In 2006, and after several debates and failed proposals, the \u00a0International Astronomical Union\u00a0(IAU) reached a definition for a planet in our solar system which subsequently lead to the demotion of Pluto from a\u00a0 \u201cplanet\u201d to a \u201cdwarf planet\u201d. The definition states that a planet is a \u201cA celestial body that (a)<\/strong> is in orbit around the Sun, (b)<\/strong> has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c)<\/strong> has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Did you notice the similarity between the owth in the Quran and the 2006 definition\u00a0of the IAU, here it\u00a0is again:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Scientists\u00a0could not reach this definition in 2006 until they had the necessary scientific tools to reach a high degree of\u00a0knowledge about our solar system. This raises a question: How could a human being confidently state such a definition over 1400 years ago when science and astronomy were considered primitive. The answer came in the subsequent verses from Quran<\/span>”\u00a0[81:19] truly this is the word of a noble Messenger [Gabriel]\u00a0[81:20] having power, with the Lord of the Throne secure,\u00a0[81:21] obeyed, moreover trusty,\u00a0[81:22] Your companion [Mohammad] is not possessed.[81:23] he truly saw him [Gabriel]\u00a0on the clear horizon;\u00a0[81:24] he is not niggardly of the Unseen.\u00a0[81:25] And it is not the word of an accursed Satan;\u00a0[81:26] where then are you going?\u00a0[81:27] It is naught but a Reminder unto all beings,\u00a0[81:28] for whosoever of you who would go straight;\u00a0[81:29] but will you shall not, unless God wills, the Lord of all Being.”<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The video below\u00a0illustrates how solar systems are born and addresses the subject of planet\u00a0classification.<\/span><\/p>\n
