HOW MANY SUNS AND MOONS DID ALLAH CREATE?
 
http://aloloomenglish.net/vb/showthread.php?693-How-many-Suns-and-Moons-did-Allah-create

The above article claims that Allah said in the Quran that there is only one moon and one sun. But how can it be true? According to modern cosmology there are probably millions of Suns and Moons in our Universe!!!!!


 I know, I asked the same question on the forum some days ago and I also got some answers. But still I'm not convinced. Please help me.

Assalamualykum.

Sister, Are the present copies of the Quran written in Uthmanic orthography or according to newly developed normal orthography?


http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Text/Scribal/haleem.html


  I read the above article but couldn't understand many things due to my lack of knowledge in Arabic grammar. I couldn't read the whole article because the more I was reading the more confused I was getting.  :'(For example, it says there are 6 rules in Quranic rasm:

1. The rule of deletion, hadhf
2. The rule of addition, ziyādah
3. The rule of substitution, badal
4. The rule of the hamza,
5. The rule of joining and separating, al-wasl wa-l-fasl
6. The rule of cases where there are two canonical readings but the text is written according to one of them, ma fīhi qirā'ātan fa-kutiba `alā ihdāhumā.

 the first rule involves deletion of alif, ya,lam,nun and waw. Why should we delete them? If they are there in the Uthmanic manuscript, there must be some reasons for adding them!! Why the early Muslims would add things unnecessarily ?Why should we delete them??? I having problems with the first 4 rules. It is said that, this is done for the convenience of the readers. So that they don't face any problem. If it's true, then didn't the early Muslims also had problems in the recitation?

Assalamualykum.


''And we used to sit in some of its seats to listen. But whoso listens now finds a shooting star in ambush for him,'' (72:9)


 Okay this verse says, ''....we used to sit in....''. That means jinns used to enter the lowest Heavens. But how is it possible? Because our universe from its inception is guarded with stars. I mean to say that stars were there from the inception of the universe serving as missiles by emitting different types of rays, so how jinns used enter here? Didn't they face any obstacle??  It can't happen that they started serving as missile just some 2000 or 3000 years ago. Can it?  They have been there for billions of years.Please help.

Assalamualykum


 وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ


 Translation:


'' And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.''

''And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame.''



 Okay my question is, the word وَجَعَلْنَاهَا should be translated as ''We made it" not ''We made them''. وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ means ''We made them''. Well, can anyone clarify this? Why the word رُجُومًا is translated as ''Missiles''? It actually means ''stones'' or ''throwing''.  And how can stars be thrown at the devils? Please explain this with proofs from dictionaries

Assalamualykum.

  Is there anyway to get rid of stress and worries? I pray 5 times a day and try my best to avoid sinful acts. But still it seems like I'm not able to bring myself out of stress and worries. So, what should I do? This is becoming unbearable day by day. Please my dear brothers and sisters help me!!!!!!

Please refute the following article:

 it might create confusions for those who don't have much knowledge in Arabic.

Assalamualykum.

  I just wanted to know if the black people from Africa and some Chinese looking people from Indonesia living in the Middle-East are also called Arab?  Another question:

 Are every Arabic speaking person considered Arab? And if a person is considered Arab by ancestry then it can be said that, now the Arab has become a mixed race. I have seen many Indians, Pakistanis, Afghans, Bangladeshis who exactly resemble the Arabs. And its obvious because many Arab merchants came to this region for business and settled down here permanently. They married the local women. I myself is an example of that. But I'm not sure whether my ancestors were Arabs, Persians or Turks. Maybe Persian or Turk or mixed!!!! . Because the region from where I am from was under Persian and Turkish rule for almost 1000 years. Arabs mainly Iraqis were there in the southern region of the country. I'm from north.

 I also read an article which says that the Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese and Palestinians are not complete Arab by ancestry. But yes complete Arab by language.
