That being said, in the Holy Qur\u2019an, God Almighty actually swears by this aurora, and this only emphasises its importance: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">{So I swear by the afterglow of sunset}<\/span> [Al-Inshiqaq, 84:16].\u00a0\u00a0This makes us wonder: Is this not a profound example of the Qur\u2019an\u2019s miraculous nature?\u00a0\u00a0If a phenomenon like the aurora is something we take for granted even today, how could any human being 14 centuries ago, during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) have acknowledged and appreciated its significance?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By: Abduldaem Al-Kaheel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When solar winds that stream from the sun hit the Earth, the magnetic poles\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[55],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
