Three MESSAGES

Three Messages from God to You
  • The brightest star in our sky is called Sirius A, which is relatively close to our planet (8.6 light years). If Sirius A was placed next to our sun, Sirius A would outshine it more than 20 times over.

  • A light year abbreviated "ly" is a unit of length used to express astronomical distances. It is approximately 9 million million (trillion) kilometers.

  • The speed of light is approximately 300,000 km/second.

  • The moon is only 384,400 kilometers away from the Earth.

  • The longest distance between two points on the Earth is estimated to be 20,036 kilometers.

  • The sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth after it has been emitted from the sun's surface. The time it takes for light to reach planets in our solar system varies from about 3 minutes for Mercury to about 5.3 hours for Pluto.

Hobok:The Cosmic Web of Forces and Magnetic Fields

The universe is held together with huge gravitational and momentum forces as well as a complicated web of magnetic fields. However, Quran 51:7 precisely describes the sky that it is formed of "Hobok", an Arabic word that means the perfectly knitted or interwoven fabric. Modern science confirms the universe has a fabric of gravitational and magnetic forces. To learn more about the cosmic web or "Hobok" watch this video.
