Virtues of the Qur'an

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Every Prophet was given miracles because of which people believed, but what I have been given, is Divine Inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection."

The light of moon is a reflected light ....

It was believed by earlier civilization that the moon emanates its own light .Science now tells us that the light of the moon is reflected light . However this fact was mentioned in the QUR'AN 1,400 yrs ago in the following verse :

" BLESSED IS HE WHO MADE CONSTELLATION IN THE SKIES AND PLACED THEREIN A LAMP AND A MOON GIVING LIGHT "[Al-Quran ch25:61]

The arabic word for the sun in the Quran is shams.it is reffered to as 'siraaj' which means 'a blazing flame or as diya means 'shining glory'.all three discriptions are appropriate to the sun , since generate s intense heat and light by its internal combustion. The arabic word for moon is qamar and it is described in the Qur'an as ''muneer'' which is a body that gives nur i.e. Light .Again ,the Qur'anic discription macthes perfectly with the true nature of moon which which does not give off light itself and is an inert body that reflect the light of the sun.Not once in the Qur'aan ,is the moon mentioned as 'siraj' ,'wahhaj', or diya or the sun as nur or muneer.this implies that the Quraan recognizes the diffierne between the nature of sunlight and moonlight.

Solar eclipse.

Narrated Abu Bakra:

We were with Allah's Apostle when the sun eclipsed. Allah's Apostle stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-Rakat prayer till the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree. The others then asked, "Please inform us what is that tree, O Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "It is the date-palm tree."

Ablution for the prayer.

                                                                           

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

Once the Prophet remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the prayer which was over-due. We were just passing wet hands over our feet (and not washing them properly) so the Prophet addressed us in a loud voice and said twice or thrice: "Save your heels from the fire."
