Speed of light according to the Quran and science

Einstein's theory of relativity proves the Quran right.

Speed of Light = 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day

1400 years ago it was stated in the Quran (Koran, the book of Islam) that angels travel in one day the same distance that the moon travels in 1000 lunar years, that is, 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day. Outside gravitational fields 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day turned out to be the known speed of light!

Speed of LightYou can do a quick Google search for "speed of light" and immediately get 299792.458 km/sec; however physics wise this is meaningless. Why? Because you cannot talk about the speed of light without defining your frame of reference. The measured speed of light in local inertial frames is 299792.458 km/sec. So if you want to make a comparison with "299792.458 km/sec" then you have to make it in a "local inertial frame". But from General Relativity we know that as long as Earth is orbiting the sun then Earth is a non-inertial frame of reference. Earth can only be a local inertial frame if it exits the solar system or it enters a gravitational freefall towards the sun (straight in from afar).

When we compare the nominal speed of light with 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day inside the gravitational field of the sun (non-inertial) we get 11% difference; when we compare them outside the gravitational field of the sun (inertial) we get zero% difference: The distance to the sun is not a constant; so as the distance to the sun increases the difference in energy causes the length of the lunar orbit to change. When the Earth-moon system exits the solar system (becomes inertial) 12000 Lunar Orbits / Earth Day becomes equivalent to the speed of light.

Moslems (Muslims) believe that angels are low density creatures, and that God created them originally from light. They move at any speed from zero up to the speed of light. It is the angels who carry out God's orders. Those angels take their orders from a Preserved Tablet somewhere in outer space, and not from God's Throne. They commute to and from this Preserved Tablet to get their orders from God. In the following verse, the Quran describes how angels travel when they commute to and from this Tablet. And the speed at which they commute to and from this Tablet turned out to be the known speed of light:

[Quran 32.5] (Allah) Rules the cosmic affair from the heavens to the Earth. Then this affair travels to Him a distance in one day, at a measure of one thousand years of what you count.

It is the angels who carry out these orders (see Arabic wording at footnote [1]). Those people back then measured the distances neither in kilometers nor in miles but rather by how much time they needed to walk. For example, a village two days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for two days; ten days away meant a distance equivalent to walking for ten days... However in this verse the Quran specifies 1000 years of what they counted (not what they walked). Those people back then followed the lunar calendar and counted 12 lunar months each year. These months are related to the moon and not related to the sun. Hence in 1 day the angels will travel a distance of 1000 years of what they counted (the moon). Since this verse is referring to distance, then God is saying that angels travel in one day the same distance that the moon travels in 12000 lunar orbits. Outside the gravitational field of the sun this speed turned out to be the known speed of light.

The month for the Arabs was 29.5 Earth days, but Earth (the reference frame) was and still is non-inertial. 299792.458 km/sec is the measured speed of light in local inertial frames. These are different frames. To overcome this discrepancy in frames we are calculating 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day when it is inertial and then comparing it with 299792.458 km/sec.

Have you noticed that when you spin on your toes your clothes fling outwards? And that when your spin slows down your clothes settle back inwards? This is what also happens when the Earth-moon system gains or loses rotational kinetic energy, the distance to the moon changes (hence the length of the lunar orbit changes).

Do you know why the same half of the moon always faces Earth? The moon has been facing Earth like this for more than 4 billion years. Just like Earth rotates on its axis once every day with respect to stars, the moon also rotates on its axis with respect to stars. Since the moon keeps facing Earth this means that the moon needs to travel 360 degrees around Earth with respect to stars in order to rotate 360 degrees on its axis with respect to stars. When the moon first formed it was very close to Earth and it orbited Earth once every few hours, today this period is 27 days, and as the moon continues to recede this period will continue to increase; the greater the distance from Earth the greater this period becomes. When this period becomes 50 days, for example, this also means that it will take the moon 50 days to rotate 360 degrees on its axis with respect to stars. So as the moon recedes from Earth its spin with respect to stars slows down, that is, it loses rotational kinetic energy (this is different from moon's kinetic energy due to moon's motion around Earth). If the distance to Earth increases to infinity, the moon would stop spinning with respect to stars and hence its rotational kinetic energy decreases to zero. This proves that the moon's rotational kinetic energy is a function of the distance from Earth. Similarly the total energy of the Earth-moon system is a function of the distance from the sun, that is, as the distance to the sun changes the total energy of the Earth-moon system changes, hence the length of the lunar orbit changes. Since the distance to the sun is not a constant then a definition using Lunar Orbits/Earth Day inside the gravitational field of the sun is impossible. However when the Earth-moon system exits the solar system (becomes isolated) 12000 Lunar Orbits/Earth Day becomes equivalent to the speed of light.

God is One. The Quran and the Number 19

GOD IS ONE: 19

The basic message of the Quran is the unity of God. The unity of God is expressed by an Arabic word “Wahid” and the mathematical value of the word “Wahid” is 19. Let us explain what a mathematical value (ebced) of a word means: the Arabs were using letters for both writing and mathematical operations at the time of Prophet Muhammad. For example the letter “Alif” was equal to 1 in numerical value and the sound “Wav” was presented by the letter “v” and was equal to 6. You can see the mathematical equivalents of letters in Arabic below:
Alif
Ya Ta Ha Za Wav He Da Jeem Ba
Qaf Sad Fe Ayn Seen Noon Meem Lam Kaf
Ghayn Zha Dwad Zhal Kha Tha Te Sheen Ra

The word “Wahid”is written with the letters wau+alif+he+de the total mathematical values of these letters are (6+1+8+4) 19 as we have mentioned above.

Wav + Alif + Ha + Da = total
6 + 1 + 8 + 4 =19

The word “Wahid” whose mathematical value is 19, is used 19 times for God in the Quran .The list of these verses is given below in the table.
Serial number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Sura and Verse number 2-163 4-171 5-73 6-19 12-39 13-16 14-48 14-52 16-22 16-51
Serial number 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Sura and Verse number 18-110 21-108 22-34 29-46 37-4 38-65 39-4 40-16 41-6

Except for these verses, the word “Wahid” is used 7 times in the Quran, yet those uses do not refer to the names of God, but things objects like doors and eating materials.

The form “Wahiden” derived from the word “wahid” is used 5 times in the Quran, and it expresses God’ unity. However, “Wahiden” is written with an additional “alif”, and the mathematical value of this word is not 19. So only the word”Wahid” the name of God whose mathematical value is 19, is used 19 times in the Quran. The total of all the forms of word “Wahid” should not be multiples of 19 because only 4 names of God should be used as multiples. (We will examine its reason in the next chapter dealing with the 4 names of God in a symmetric table)

19 is a prime number which has interesting features; as we have mentioned above. The mathematical value of the word “Wahid”which expresses God’unity is 19. How are the functions of 19 and the importance of 19 stressed in the Quran? The 74th sura “The Hidden” draws attention to the number 19. Due to the bearing on the subject, the verses preceeding verse on 19:

24- And said “this is nothing but magic, derived from the old.”
25- This is nothing, but the word of a human.
26- Soon I will cast him into Saqar
27- Do you know what Saqar is?
28- It leaves nothing nor does it spare
29- It is tablets for people
30- Over it is 19
31- We appointed angels to be guardians of fire, and we assigned their number as a trial for disbelievers. So that; those who were given the Book may arrive at certainty, and the believers may increase in faith and to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of the people of the Book and believers. And that those in whose hearts is a disease and the disbelievers may say “What does God mean by this symbol?” God thus sends us astray whomever He wills and guides whomever He wills. None knows the armies of your Lord, except He. This is a reminder for the people.
32- Absolutely by the moon
33- And by the night as it passes
34- And the morning as it shines
35- This is one of the greatest
36- A warning to mankind
37- For those among you who wish to advance or regress.
74, The Hidden, 24-37

There are numbers other than 19 in the Quran, but most of them are used as adjectives. (Four months, seven skies, a thousand months…) However, in the verse 30 of the sura “The Hidden”,19 is emphasized by saying that “Over it is 19” and in the 31st verse it is said that” We assigned their numbers…”, so the functions of 19 are mentioned in this verse. These functions are:

1. Convincing of Jews and Christians (The people of the Book)

2. Supply of true and exact informations

3. Removal of all suspicions in the minds of believers and the people of the Book

4. It creates a situation in which disbelievers and people sick at heart would ask “What did God mean by this?”, “What is the use of it?”. These kinds of questions are not questions asked with honest intentions. It is just an approach taken by disbelievers in order to critizise religion and the believers.

The verse 25 in which it is said “This is nothing but the word of a human emphasizes that 19 causes dissension among the disbelievers. As you can see, 19 is an answer to the assertion that the Quran is the word of a man. A number and an answer … This dispels all suspicions. Just think how unbelievable it was for people to believe in the miracle of 19 prior to the discovery of this miracle. It took 1400 years to reveal this miracle and when the time has come, the miracle 19 in the sura “The Hidden” became manifest. Following this manifestation, the functions of 19 described as “One of the greatest” in the 35th verse of the sura “The Hidden”, came into light. This miracle clears the suspicions of the believers and the people of the Book.

Quran-The 19th and Final Scripture

Researched by : A. Muhammad

We are told in the Quran that the prophets of God are sent with the Scripture:

"The people used to be one community when God sent the prophets as bearers of good news, as well as warners. He sent down with them the Scripture, bearing the truth, to judge among the people in their disputes" 2:213 (also confirmed in 3:81)

The term 'Scripture' is consistantly associated with 'prophets' in the Quran.

If we count the number of prophets named in the Quran we find a total of twenty prophets mentioned by their names. Each one of these 20 is specifically called a prophet in the Quran.

If we read verses 83-86 of Sura 6 we read 18 names, starting with Abraham and ending with Lot. Verse 89 confirms that all these 18 were prophets of God:

"These are the ones to whom we have given the Scripture wisdom and prophethood"

These prophets are:

1- Abraham (also named as a prophet in 19:41 and 33:7)

2- Isaac (also in 19:49 and 37:112)

3- Jacob (also in 19:49)

4- Noah (also in 33:7)

5- David (also in 17:55)

6- Solomon

7- Job

8- Joseph

9- Moses (lso in 19:51 and 33:7)

10- Aaron (also in 19:53)

11- Zachariah

12- John (also in 3:39)

13- Jesus (also in 19:30 and 33:7)

14- Elias

15- Ismail (19:54)

16- Elisha

17- Jonah

18- Lot

If we add the names of the two prophets:

19- Idris (named a prophet in 19:56)

20- Muhammad (who is confirmed to be the last of the prophets (33:40)

We find that the total number of those who are named as prophets in the Quran is 20

However we are told that that the two prophets Moses and Aaron received the same Scripture. The Statute book was given to both Moses and Aaron (37:117 and 21:48), therefore the total number of Scripture given to the 20 prophets is 19. This means that the Quran, besides being the last Scripture, is also the 19th Scripture delivered through the 20 prophets mentioned in the Quran.

We note that there are others spoken of in the Quran, but not as prophets, nor as deliverers of Scripture, they are:

Adam (described as one of the chosen 3:33 …….. not associated with the word messenger or prophet)

Hud, Saleh, and Shu 'aib (named as messengers in 26:125/ 143/ 178 respectively)

Zal-Kifl (described as steadfast, patient and righteous 21:85 and 38:48)

Luqman (described as one endowed with wisdom 31:12)

Nowhere in the Quran is any of these messengers associated with the term 'Scripture'. Non of them delivered a Scripture. Thus according to the definition of 2:213 they are not prophets. Three of the six are called messengers (Hud, Saleh, and Shu'aib) while the other three (Adam, Zal-Kifl and Luqman) are only spoken of as receiving God's blessings.

We note that the Quran informs us that God has sent other messengers in the past that we are not told about in the Quran:

"We have sent messengers before you, some of them we mentioned to you, and some We did not mention to you." 40:78 (also 4:164)

However, it is indeed of interest to note that the only two verses that assert that fact (40:78 and 4:164), both speak of messengers and not of prophets.

This confirms that God Almighty has sent to mankind 19 Scripture.

The Quran is the 19th

and Final Scripture.

All Praise to Almighty God
