God be he exalted says: (And We have made (therein) a shining lamp (sun), and We have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water.) [Surat An-Naba, verse: 13, 14].
The explanation of the verse:
The
holy verses talk about some of Gods' graces such as the earth that is
settled for us, the mountains as pegs to fix the earth, the grace of the
night and day and He be exalted also talked about an important grace
for living on earth which is the sun and He called it the shining lamp.
The commentators say:the lamp means: the sun, we have made means: we created, shining means: glowing and the glow combines both light and heat.
The scientific fact:
Scientists
have found that the sun is one of the stars in the universe and it is a
lamp that works with nuclear fuel, as the hydrogen reacts and its atoms
merge with each other and produce helium atoms that transmit heat and
energy.
The
scientists say that the sun produces flames; its length reaches
hundreds of thousands of kilometers and it produces large amounts of
heat and energy. The sun burns more than 4 million tons of substance per
second, all of it turns into heat and energy and radiation of all
kinds.
The point of inimitability:
From
the previous verses and through the scientific facts, we see that the
Quran called the sun: the lamp and this naming is scientifically true
because the sun already does the work of a bright lamp, and this is one
of the signs of the miraculous nature of the Quran and that it is a book
sent down by Almighty God.
