The moon’s orbit around the Earth differs from Earth’s orbit around…….
The moon’s orbit around the Earth differs from Earth’s orbit around the sun. There could never be a clash between the sun and the moon. The movement of the moon in orbit is very complex. It revolves around the Earth, and rotates along with the Earth around the sun, and rotates with the sun around the galactic center. And, it rotates with the entire galaxy in a cosmos orbit being known to no one else, except Allah, the Almighty
.
These amazing facts about the magnitude of the cosmic order were disclosed only in the modern era. But, the Glorious Quran referred to these facts in the verse, ‘It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law)’. [Sura YaSin 36:40]. It is, in deed, a scientific miracle that confirms that the Qur’an is the Word of Allah, the Almighty.
