(And
even if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they were to keep
on ascending thereto (all the day long), they would surely say (in the
evening): "Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled (we have not seen any
angel or heaven). Nay, we are people bewitched.) [Surat Al-Hijr, verses: 14, 15].
The explanation of the verse:
God
be he blessed and exalted talks about the ungrateful people and those
who deny meeting him. He tells them that if he opens to them a gate in
heaven and they ascended in it, they will say that their eyes are closed
and this is just a magic and they are bewitched. And in His words: (and they were to keep on ascending) a reference to the method of rising up to the sky which is ascending in a zigzag way.
The scientific fact:
It
was newly discovered that when any spacecraft gets out of the earth's
atmosphere and gets free of its gravity, it moves in a sinuous not
straight way. And astronomers confirm that there is no straight movement
in the universe but all the movements are sinuous.
When
one of the astronauts traveled for the first time, he expressed his
feelings at that moment and said:" I felt as if I lost my sight or I was
bewitched".
As for Allah's words: (And even if We opened to them a gate), the gate couldn't be opened in a vacuum and the Quran confirms that the sky is a structure which means that it is composed of parts like adobes, i.e., there is no vacuum in the heaven.
Astronomers
say: At the moment of the great explosion, the universe was filled with
matter and energy, so the matter, energy, place and time were created,
which means that there is no time without place and there is no place
without time and there is no place and time without matter and energy,
so the energy fills the universe.
And
what is meant by the ascending way is walking in a sinuous pattern and
science has come to confirm that the movement in the universe in a
straight line is impossible but it should be in a sinuous way.
The point of inimitability:
The
verse contains a reference to the sinuous movement outside the land
scope and this fact wasn't known at the time of the coming down of the
Quran, therefore it is considered to be one of the signs of the miracles
of Quran in astronomy.
