Cosmology And The Koran. Geocentric?

[psyah]

@Lucid_Chaotic

This is perhaps the first full thread in the Religion forum that I have read with great interest… thanks to the very well informed responses and logical arguments from all participants - mashaAllah, some of you have a lot of knowledge to share.

I just wanted to drop by to say that I completely agree with psyah’s assertion that the language in the Holy Quran is truely magnificent and something which is beyond our intellectual capacity since Allah talks about latent phenomena which we understand gradually over time through manifest clues and signals which get unearthed only when we as humans are able to develop advanced tools and techniques to get to a higher understanding. However, while developing these higher levels of understanding, we can never be sure that we’ll reach the absolute truth of a latent phenomenon.

These ayats in particular are very superlative in their language – consider the different forms of motion that are implied: “Tajri” : runs… “Yasbahoon”: swim / float etc. and the “Kul fee falak” which roughly translates to “all in circle” or “something that repeats itself”… and one can only say SubhanAllah on the syntax of this statement as it reads the same forwards and backwards in terms of the alphabet that is used in the statement: “K, L, F, Y, F, L, K”.

I’m seriously not at the same level of understanding of the Holy Quran as many of you here, but it is the unparalleled sophisticated language of verses like these that make it a true wonder.

We can do with your great insight here … MashaAllah
