       THE LIGHT OF THE MOON IS REFLECTED LIGHT (QUR'AN AND SCIENCE)

       [font=courier]THE LIGHT OF THE MOON IS REFLECTED LIGHT FROM
       QURAN[/font]
       It was believed by earlier civilizations 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’aan 1,400
       years ago in the following verse:.
       “Blessed is He Who made Constellations in the skies, And placed
       therein a Lamp And a Moon giving light.” [Al-Qur’aan 25:61]
       The Arabic word for the sun in the Qur’aan, is shams. It is
       referred to as siraaj, which means a ‘torch’ or as wahhaaj which
       means ‘a blazing lamp’ or as diya which means ‘shining glory’.
       All three descriptions are appropriate to the sun, since it
       generates intense heat and light by its internal combustion.
       The Arabic word for the moon is qamar and it is described in the
       Qur’aan as muneer, which is a body that gives nur i.e. light.
       Again, the Qur’aanic description matches perfectly with the true
       nature of the moon, which does not give off light itself and is
       an inert body that reflects the light of the sun.
       Not once in the Qur’aan, is the moon mentioned as siraaj,
       wahhaaj or diya or the sun as nur or muneer. This implies that
       the Qur’aan recognizes the difference between the nature of
       sunlight and moonlight.
       Consider the following verses related to the nature of light
       from the sun and the moon: “It is He who made the sun To be a
       shining glory And the moon to be a light (Of beauty).”
       [Al-Qur’aan 10:5]
       “See ye not How Allah has created The seven heavens One above
       another, “And made the moon A light in their midst, and made the
       sun As a (Glorious) Lamp?” [Al-Qur’aan 71:15-16]
