Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 03)
Verses 101-103Verses 104-107

      In the aforementioned verses it was shown that forced faith is no faith, and Man should believe whatever he believes through his Free-Will. Now we may learn from the above verses that how can we obtain faith by studying God's signs which are abundant in the heavens and earth:ِ

      ``Behold what is it, that exists in the heavens and in the earth.''

      This verse, wants we to observe and study the heavens and the earth, and the things that exist therein. So let us have a glanceِa quick lookِupon the starry sky which lays above us or beneath us!

      We cast a look, Lo! We may see billions of heavenly bodies wandering about, and as if in search of a precious thing that they have lost it! They are wanderers that follow an amazing order. With our naked eye or with the aid of our optical telescope we see countless heavenly bodiesِbut we only see those bodies that shineِsuch as the

stars that are suns like our sun, and shine by their own light.

    The average person looking at the sky can see some four thousand stars at one time; but the astronomer with his powerful telescope can see countless stars, and also star groups that are not visible to the naked eye.

      The star with which we are most familiar is our sun in the center of our solar system, and which provides light and heat that are essential for life upon the earth. Our sun is only an average star in size and brightness compared to other huge stars that we can not see them even with our telescopes.

      Our earth travels through the universe in company with nine other planets. They all move in elliptical orbits around the sun. All the planets except URANUSِNEPTUNE and PLUTO, are at certain times visible to the naked eye.

      Our earth has a moon orbiting around it while JUPITER has 12 known moons, and SATURN has nine, URANUS five, Neptund and Mars, each have two.

      At various times of the year, our earth in its journey around the sun, passes through large crowds of meteoric particles, and thousands of, ``SHOOTING STARS'' stab the blackness of the night with their quick sudden trials of light. Our Merciful, Allِknowing Lord through his infinite knowledge and power protects us from the deadly hazards of shooting stars.

      ``And We have made the sky (OVERHEAD) a protected roof and they pay no heed to its signs.'' QURÄNِS 21:32

      This verse indirectly alludes to METEORITES which encounter the earth's atmosphere, where they are heated to incandescence by friction and air resistance. Most of them are soon consumed, leaving momentary luminous trails or shooting stars in the sky. It has been estimated that 90 millions meteor trails are bright enough to be seen during any 24 hour period over all the earth. These meteors are regarded as debris of disintegrating comets. Some of the meteors have survived its flight through the air and has fallen to ground. These great masses of material are called METEORITES. The largestِknown stony meteorite, weighing more than a ton, fell on Feb.18,1948 in Furnas county Nebraska. When a meteorites falls on the ground it makes great craters and dangerously disturbs the air, creating extraordinary powerful winds. If one such meteorite fall upon a crowded town like London or Tehran, its bad consequences is no less than an atomic bomb:ِ

      and we have made the sky (over your head) a protected roof and they pay no heed to its signs.

      Yet out, and beyond our miniature universe of suns and planets; lies the MILKY WAYِ a majestically beautiful path way of light girdling the heaven. Although it appears to be cloudy, it is actually composed of thousand of suns like our sun. All the individual stars in our night sky also belongs to the Milky way system.

      All the stars like our sun, appear to rise in the east and set in the west, but all the bodies are not actually moving that way. This is an optical illusion caused by the rotation of our earth which rotates from West to East.

      The verse also implies that all God's signs in His creation, or in spoken words which comes through inspiration to the apostles, will not result in faith if the people themselves do not want to believe, and intend not to understand. Signs, warnings, and teachings will not be useful enough when there is no ground for acceptance of faith in a heart.

      Then the verses end in a warning that if you follow the unbelievers who lived before you, then you should not expect anything to happen except the like of the fate of those who have gone before you. They all perished and our Messenger and those who followed them were savedِKnow that dry and wet do not burn together, and it is an obligation upon us to save the believers.
