I grew up in Saudi Arabia, and I've lived here for 16 years now. I've been a Muslim since I was born. My interests are: Astronomy, Philosophy, Biology. I am really fond of the astronomy in the Qur'an. I've written articles about it on my site and I am hoping to learn more, for the ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of a martyr. Only the Qur'an is a 1400 year old book that describes timelessness, the big bang theory, the big crunch theory, the pairs of order in the universe, the reoccurring pattern of rings and layers, the rossette nebula, the seven layers of the atmosphere (including the ionosphere and the magnetosphere), the fact that those layers have their own functions, the function of the ozone layer, the natural symmetry of the universe's history, the age of the Earth relative to the age of the universe, the relativity of time, the speed of light, constellations, the shape of the Earth, continental drift, the Earth's orbit cycle, the Sun as the principle source of light (and the moon a reflected), the solidity of the atom, the electron cloud, iron being sent down from space, the heaviness of clouds, the water cycle, the lunar calendar, the orbits of the heavenly bodies, string theory, the prediction of space travel to the moon, the function of mountains (isostacy), the separation of the seas, Quasars, the running out of water on Earth, and the need to conserve water, and the fact that it will run out due to misuse of the ecosystem. And all of this is just the astronomy part alone!
