Speed of light in quran exactly equals to the current value of speed of light. :O But IS IT TRUE ?? :P Some real facts about speed of light in Quran. In an article published in Islami City,[1] Dr. Mansour Hassab-Elnaby claims the verse 32:5 reveals that light in one day travels a distance equal to 12,000 lunar orbits, and upon calculating that distance we find the exact speed of light. Yusuf Ali: He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning. Pickthal: He directeth the ordinance from the heaven unto the earth; then it ascendeth unto Him in a Day, whereof the measure is a thousand years of that ye reckon. Shakir: He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth; then shall it ascend to Him in Calculation The average center-to-center distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km.[2][3] The orbit of the Moon is nearly circular. (That is why we see the Moon always with the same size) This means for the Moon to go a full circle around the Earth it must travel a distance of 2,415,273 km (Circumference of the lunar orbit = 2r π = 2 x 384,403 x 3.14159) To orbit the earth 12,000 times the Moon must travel 28,983,278,898 km (2.415,273 x 12,000). This is how much the moon travels in 1000 lunar years. Light travels at a constant speed of 299,792.458 km. per second There are 86,400 seconds in one day (60x60x24) In 24 hours, light travels a distance of 25,902,068,371 km (299,792.458 x 86,400). These two numbers are not the same. They are not even close. There is a difference of 3,081,210,527 km (28,983,278,898 - 25,902,068,371) between the distance traveled by the Moon in 1000 lunar years and the distance traveled by light in one day. This difference is over twenty times the distance between the Earth and the Sun. So clearly Dr. Hassab-Elnaby is in error. The two numbers do not match. That is not all. There is a difference between lunar month (phases) and lunar orbit. The Moon makes a complete orbit around the Earth every 27.3 days, (siderial month) while the periodic variations in the geometry of the Earth–Moon–Sun system are responsible for the lunar phases that repeat every 29.5 days (synodic month). There is a difference of 2.2 days between the lunar month and the lunar orbit.[3] In one lunar year the Moon revolves around the Earth 12.967 times (29.5 x 12 / 27.3) and not 12 times. So the distance that the Moon travels in 1000 lunar years is actually 32, 045,078,461 km (12,967 x 2,4715,273). The difference between this distance and the distance traveled by light in one day is 6,143,010,090 km (32, 045,078,461 - 25,902,068,371). It would take light, another 5 hours 41 minutes to travel this extra distance. Alternatively we can say that the Moon revolves around the Earth 10,724 times to cover the distance that the light travels in 24 hours. (Distance traveled by light in one day 25,902,068,371 km / The orbit of the Moon 2,415,273 km). It takes only 827 lunar years for the Moon to go this distance and not 1000 lunar years. (10,724 revolutions of the Moon around the Earth x 27.3 days that takes for each revolution / 354 days that exist in each lunar year). No matter how you look at it Dr. Hassab-Elnabys calculations are wrong. The distance traveled by the Moon in 1000 years and the distance traveled by light in one day are not the same. We are not even considering the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, which inevitably the Moon must also tread. Taking that into account Dr. Hassab-Elnabis calculations are 36.6 times off.a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count. Omnipresence Affairs traveling permanently through the whole universe at speed of light. When it comes to the Universe, the speed of light is not really that fast. It is a very slow way for Allah to run his affairs. These cosmic affairs traveling at the speed of light take one full day to reach the Earth. If a Muslim is in peril, they should forget about asking Allah for help. By the time he sends them his assistance, a day would have passed and that is often too late. But Muslims should consider themselves lucky because, according to Dr. Hassab-Elnaby, Allah is only one light day away from the Earth. He lives just around the corner of our solar system. Think of other beings that may live hundreds or thousands of light years away, or those who live in galaxies that are millions or billions of light years away from Allah. How can Allah run his affairs in those galaxies when the communication is so slow? For all intent and purposes, as far as those far away galaxies are concerned God does not exist. Just as their light hardly reach us, and when it does it is after millions of years, the affairs of Allah can hardly reach them. Synodic and Siderial Months Quranic verse (10:5) discriminates between the synodic period for knowing the number of years and the real sidereal period for reckoning in scientific calculations.[1] Here is the verse Dr. Mansour Hassab-Elnaby is referring to: Yusuf Ali: It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time)... Pickthal: He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning... Shakir: He it is Who made the sun a shining brightness and the moon a light, and ordained for it mansions that you might know the computation of years and the reckoning... Quran 10:5 This verse in no way discriminates between synodic and siderial months. Dr. Hassab-Elnaby is engaging in wishful thinking. The verse is also wrong when it claims the moon is a source of light. The verse begins with a reference to a certain cosmic affair which GOD creates and commands. This affair travels, permanently through the whole universe between the heavens and the Earth, so speedily that it crosses in ONE DAY a maximum distance in space equivalent to that which the moon passes during ONE THOUSAND LUNAR YEAR (i.e. during 12000 Sidereal months).[1] Dr. Mansour Hassab-Elnaby is wrong again. Arabs count the synodic months that are 29.5 days and not the siderial months that are 27.3 days. The Quran is clear that these thousand years are of what you count. Only synodic months can be observed and counted. Siderial months are not observable and as the doctor himself rightly points out they are for reckoning in scientific calculations. As has been shown in section 1, in 1000 lunar years the Moon orbits the Earth 12,967 times and not 12,000 times. They calculated the orbital time including both Synodic(in relation to earth and sunor solar day) day in sidereal month(The period of the Moons orbit as defined with respect to the celestial sphere ) .. some how these mixture makes speed of light a lill accurate but there is something which is more than speed of light nytimes/2013/07/23/science/faster-than-the-speed-of-light.html?_r=0 Verse 32:5 is plagiarized from the Bible. Here are the original Biblical verses: For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Psalm 90:4 NIV But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8 NIV May be biblical verses taken from torah Now look at this mantra of bhagwat geeta ahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ rātriḿ yuga-sahasrāntāḿ te ho-rātra-vido janāḥ sahasra — one thousand; yuga —symbolical name for the number twelve(a year); paryantam — including; ahaḥ — day; yat — that which; brahmaṇaḥ — of Brahmā; viduḥ — they know; rātrim — night; yuga- symbolical name for the number twelve(a year); sahasra-antām — similarly, ending after one thousand; te — they; ahaḥ-rātra — day and night; vidaḥ — who understand; janāḥ — people. By human calculation, a thousand Year/ages of 12month taken together form the duration of Brahmās one day. And such also is the duration of his night. In Sanskrit Yuga also means collection of 12....
