MILLIONS OF GALAXIES

                                THE SOLAR SYSTEM

                     DOOMSDAY OF THE OVERALL SOLAR SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEPARATE EVENT FROM EARTH'S DOOMSDAY. PROBABLY, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVEN RELATED TO THE DOOMSDAY OF SOLAR SYSTEM. , AS SEEN FROM THE HOLY QURAN, IS THAT THE SUN WILL DRIFT AWAY FROM ITS PRESENT POSITION IN THE GALAXY, WHERE IT HAS BEEN TO HAVE FIXED ORBIT, COMPLETING ONE CYCLE IN ABOUT 250 MILLION YEARS. THIS MAY BE INITIATED WITH SOME NEARBY DISTURBANCE IN SPACE. EVENTUALLY, THE SUN MAY STRIKE WITH SOME OTHER HEAVENLY BODY AND DESTROYED FOR EVER.

                    IT IS WORTHWHILE TO NOTE THAT A FEW CENTURIES AGO, PEOPLE USED TO THINK OF THE SUN AS A STATIONARY OBJECT IN THE HEAVENS. EVEN COUPERNICUS HAD BUILD HIS REVOLUTIONARY THEORY OF THE EARTH REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SUN WAS STATIONARY AND MEN OF SCIENCE BELIEVED THIS TO BE TRUE FOR MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES. BUT THE HOLY QURAN TWELVE CENTURIES BEFORE COUPERNICUS, HAD CLEARLY DESCRIBED THE TRAVEL OF THE SUN IN SPACE IN SPACE IN THE FOLLOWING VERSE.

                               AND THE SUN

                               KEEPS ON RUSHING (IN SPACE)

                              ON A SET PATH,

                             ACCORDING TO THE PRE-FIXED

                             MEASUREMENT OF THE MOST POWERFUL, THE WISE.

                           THE UNIVERSE CONSISTS OF MILLIONS OF GALAXIES. OUR MILKY IS JUST ONE OUT OF ALL THOSE MILLIONS. IN IT ARE TRILLIONS OF STARS LIKE OUR SUN. EACH SUN HAS SEVERAL PLANNETS. THE DOOMSDAY OF EACH OF THESE WORLDS IS A SEPARATE EVENT. THE SPIRAL SHAPE SHOWS THAT ONCE ALL THIS MASS WAS CONCENTRATED AT THE CENTRE OF THE GALAXY. SOME DAY IT WILL ROLL BACK AND DESTROY ITSELF, FOLLOWING THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF CREATION, EVOLUTION AND DESTRUCTION GIVEN IN THE QURANIC VERSE 21.

                       THE SUN KEEPS ON RUSHING THROUGH SPACE ON ITS PREDESTINED COURSE AL-QURAN 36. AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 200 MILES PER SECOND, COVERING 6.3*10 MILES A YEAR WHICH IS 66 TIMES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE SUN. NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THE NATURE OF THIS MOTION. IS IT REALLY A STRAIGHT LINE, OR ARE WE SWINGING AROUND IN SOME SUPPER ORBIT, CETRE OF WHICH IS HOT YET KNOWN? IN A WAY THIS IS A HOZARDOUS JOURNEY IN THE HEAVENS WHICH HORSE AS MANY AS OVER A BILLION GALAXIES AND TRILLION OF TRILLIONS OF STARS, PLANETS AND OTHER TYPES OF HEAVENLY BODIES. THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH CANNOT BE RULED OUT WHICH MAY BRING ITS DOOMSDAY SUDDENLY.

                      ABOUT THE MOTION OF THE SUN THROUGH SPACE, THE QURAN HAD SAID FOURTEEN CENTURIES EARLIER.

                          AND THE SUN,

                          IT RUNS IN AN ORBIT OF ITS OWN,

                          (AND) THAT IS LAID DOWN BY THE WILL

                          OF THE ALMIGHTY,

                          THE ALL-KNOWING".

             

              IN THIS CONTRAST THE HOLY QURAN POINTS OUT THAT NEAR THE SOLAR DOOMSDAY, SOMETHING SUDDEN WILL HAPPEN WHICH WILL THROW THE SUN OUT OF ITS NORMAL PATH, CREATING OVERALL CHAOS IN THIS PART OF THE COSMOS. THIS IS SEEN FROM THE FOLLOWING VERSES.

                             (THE DAY) WHEN 

                                THE SUN IS OVERTHROWN,

                         AND WHEN THE STARS FALL LOOSING THEIR LIGHT,

                                AND WHEN THE MOUNTAINS, FLY OUT THEIR POSITIONS,

                          THE EVENTS MENTIONED IN THESE VERSES REPRESENT A CATASTROPHY OF GREAT MAGNITUDE, INVOLVING NOT ONLY SUN BUT MANY STARS. IT WILL BE A SYSTEMS. IT MAY EVEN SET A CHAIN REACTION, WHERE, STAR AFTER STAR HAVE THEIR DOOMSDAY AND ARE DESTROYED.
