ISLAM'S MYTH: ALLAH AS LORD OF SIRIUS!

ONE OF ISLAM'S MYTH:

THE STAR SIRIUS

The star Sirius appears in Surat an-Najm (meaning “star”). The double stars that comprise Sirius approach each other with their axes in a bow-shape once every 49.9 years. This astronomical phenomenon is indicated in the verses Surat an-Najm 9 and 49.

When certain concepts mentioned in the Qur'an are studied in the light of 21st century scientific discoveries we find ourselves imparted with yet more miracles of the Qur'an. One of these is the star Sirius, mentioned in Surat an-Najm 49:
… it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius. (Qur'an, 53: 49)
The fact that the Arabic word "shiaara," the equivalent of the star Sirius, appears only in Surat an-Najm, meaning only "star," 49 is particularly striking. Because, considering the irregularity in the movement of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, as their starting point, scientists discovered that it was actually a double star. Sirius is actually a set of two stars, known as Sirius A and Sirius B. The larger of these is Sirius A, which is also the closer to the Earth and the brightest star that can be seen with the naked eye. Sirius B, however, cannot be seen without a telescope.
The Sirius double stars orbit in ellipses about one another. The orbital period of Sirius A & B about their common centre of gravity is 49.9 years. This scientific data is today accepted with one accord by the departments of astronomy at Harvard, Ottawa and Leicester Universities.51This information is reported as follows in various sources:
Sirius, the brightest star, is actually a twin star … Its orbit lasts 49.9 years. (Exposes Astronomiques, La troisième loi de KEPLER, http://www.astrosurf.com/eratosthene/HTML/exposetheoastro.htm)As is known, the stars Sirius-A and Sirius-B orbit each other in a double bow every 49.9 years. (http://www.dharma.com.tr/dkm/article.php?sid=87)The point requiring attention here is the double, bow-shaped orbit of the two stars around one another.
However, this scientific fact, the accuracy of which was only realised in the late 20^thcentury, was miraculously indicated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. When verses 49 and 9 of Surat an-Najm are read together, this miracle becomes apparent:
… it is He Who is the Lord of Sirius, (Qur'an, 53: 49)
He was two bow-lengths away or even closer. (Qur'an, 53:9)
The description in Surat an-Najm 9 may also describe how these two stars approach one another in their orbits. (Allah knows best.) This scientific fact, that nobody could have known at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, once again proves that the Qur'an is the Word of Almighty Allah.

BY THIS ARTICLE, THEY ADMITTED THAT THE WORD SIRIUS WAS ADDED AS REPLACEMENT FOR STAR WHICH IS APPROPRIATELY THE MEANING OF THE ARABIC WORD USED, shiaara!


it should have been, Lord of the star (singular).

53:1	By the Star when it goes down,-
	Waalnnajmi itha hawa
53:2	Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
	Ma dalla sahibukum wamaghawa
53:3	Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.
	Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa
53:4	It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
	In huwa illa wahyun yooha
53:5	He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
	AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa
53:6	Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);
	Thoo mirratin faistawa
53:7	While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
	Wahuwa bial-ofuqi al-aAAla
53:8	Then he approached and came closer,
	Thumma dana fatadalla
53:9	And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
	Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna
53:10	So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
	Faawha ila AAabdihi maawha
53:11	The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
	Ma kathaba alfu-adu maraa
53:12	Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
53:13 For indeed he saw him at a second descent, Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra 53:14 Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass: AAinda sidrati almuntaha 53:15 Near it is the Garden of Abode. AAindaha jannatu alma/wa 53:49 That He is the Lord of Sirius (the Mighty Star); Waannahu huwa rabbu alshshiAAra OBVIOUSLY THAT ENTITY SEEN BY MUHAMMAD WAS A MESSENGER FROM THE LORD OF THE MIGHTY STAR, ANGEL GABRIEL. note: sirius is not in the definition as muslims claimed as they say

Arabic word "shiaara," the equivalent of the star Sirius, appears only in Surat an-Najm, meaning only "star,"

THEY ONLY ASSUMED OF IT AS SIRIUS BEC OF THE MENTION 

And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;

TWO BOW-LENGHTS WAS FROM THE ARABIC 'qawsayni'
it was a combined words from qaba, aw, adna.

قَابَ = “qaba” 

“qaba” definition: 

Noun. The portion, of a bow, that is between the part that is grasped by the hand and the curved extremity: it is the space between the string and the part that is grasped by the hand, of the bow; small distance; short span; space between the middle and the end of a bow; portion of a bow that is between the part which is grasped by the hand and the curved extremity; space from one extremity of the bow to the other; measure or space. The mention of a single “qaba”, for two bows, indicates a very close union between two persons. As pertaining to 53.9…an inverted phrase meaning: and he was at the distance of the measure of the two portions between the part that is grasped by the hand and each of the curved extremities of the bow. It comes from the root “qaba”, which means he dug, or made a hollow in the ground: or he dug a round hollow in the ground; to dig a hole like an egg, draw ear, fly away. His skin became pitted, or marked with small hollows. He was, or became, near; drew near; or approached: and he fled – thus, it has two contrasting significations. 

قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ = at the distance of the measure of two Arabian bows; one chord to two bows

qawsayni: he was at a distance of two Arabian bows: or two cubits

Arabian bows or two cubits speaks not of qawsayni as an indication of sirius. why not?

firstly, the verses say that when Gabriel was at two-bow length, he was visible to Muhammad. 

53:6	Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form);

Sirius distance from the earth cannot be seen by the naked eye, but if Gabriel has brilliance like sirius then the verse may perhaps be true BUT DOES HE HAVE A VOICE LOUD TO REACH EARTH?

53:9	And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer;
53:10	So did (Allah) REVEALED (fa'awha) the REVELATION (awha) to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey.
53:11	The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
WHEN GABRIEL WAS AT TWO-BOWS LENGTH  DISTANCE MUHAMMAD SAW HIM.

THUS AS QAWSAYNI WAS DEFINED, INDEED, TWO BOWS LENGTH is TWO CUBITS NEAR AS THE DEFINITION IMPLIES. قَوْسَيْنِ = “qawsayni”  “qawsayni” definition:  Dual noun. Two bows. As applied to 53.9…and he was at a distance of two Arabian bows: or two cubits;  AND TWO CUBITS IS MORE OR LESS A METER cu·bit [kybit] (plural cu·bits)noun ancient unit of length: an ancient unit of length, equal to the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, approximately 43-56 cm/17-22 in Microsoft® Encarta® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. TAKING MUSLIM STYLES OF EXPLAINING QURAN THEY OFTEN USED THE ROOT WORD AND ROOT WORD FOR qawsayni was qaba. “qaba” definition:  Noun. The portion, of a bow, that is between the part that is grasped by the hand and the curved extremity: it is the space between the string and the part that is grasped by the hand, of the bow; small distance; short span; space between the middle and the end of a bow; portion of a bow that is between the part which is grasped by the hand and the curved extremity; space from one extremity of the bow to the other; measure or space. The mention of a single  “qaba”, for two bows, indicates a very close union between two persons. QABA=A UNION OF TWO PERSONS AND NOT OF STARS AND TOO, IT MEANS A SMALL DISTANCE AS CONGRUENT WITH qawsayni's      two bow-lenGth as two cubits! GABRIEL WHEN HE GAVE THE REVELATION WAS TWO CUBITS NEAR, A SMALL DISTANCE IN ORDER TO SEE HIM AND NOT AS MUSLIM SCHOLARS HAVE TWISTED TO APPEAR SCIENTIFIC. THE VERSES ITSELF DISPROVES THESE MAD DOCTORS! 53:6 Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form); 53:9 And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; 53:10 So did (Allah) REVEALED (fa'awha) the REVELATION (awha) to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey. 53:11 The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw. 53:13 For indeed he saw him at a second descent, Walaqad raahu nazlatan okhra 53:14 Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass: AAinda sidrati almuntaha CLEARLY, WHEN GABRIEL WAS AT A DISTANCE OF TWO-BOW LENGTH, HE WAS GIVING MUHAMMAD A REVELATION REFUTING THE LIE, THAT HE WAS AT THE PREMISES OF THE SIRIUS TWIN STARS. CAN MUHAMMAD RECEIVE A REVELATION AT THAT VERY FAR DISTANCE? DOES GABRIEL HAVE A VOICE LOUD ENOUGH TO REACH EARTH? lil Susie
