Pluto no longer a planet

[Mawaddah]

Princess I remember something in Dammaj talking about the planets!! Venus etc. And the early scholars were well aware of this Princess I remember reading about it in Bidaayah wan Nihaayah.
I also recall some Ulamaa talking about Zuharah, which is the Arabic name for Venus.....

Allahu A3lam though, I prefer not to make a big deal of matters like this.

 

[amirah_87]

As salaamu alaykum,

The early Arabs actually developed the early science of Astronomy, they were familiar with at least the visible planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, mars, Jupiter and Saturn. They described them and their relationships in space very well. They also named the majority of the Stars. so it is fairly safe to say that The Early Scholars were aware of outer space.

I think the fact that the Qur'an says so little, is actually an acknowledgement of the matter in outer space being common knowledge and in no need of further proof.

Just as we can not find any reference on how to start a fire, the people knew how, there was no need to elaborate further.

I believe we can accept the findings of astronomers, unless we see something that violates the words of the Qur'aan

I did not know that... JazakAllahu khayr for that...

What your sayin is true!! BarakAllahu feek, I'll have a think about this!!

Armstrong story fake ffended: oh it sounded good, rumour spreaders :uhwhat thanx for confirming Alpha Mars :uhwhat

Maw' thanx for that, now that you mention that I aslo remember "Zuharah"/Venus I can't remeber from which lesson though... you guys are correct it was the early arabs/scholars that mentioned this...subhnaAllah, I wonder how they knew without having the technology that we have :?

Allahu a3lam...jazaakumullah khayr everyone

man ging on moon well like i said bout Neil Armstong i herd he converted because when he stepped on the moon he actually herd the azaan and when he came back to earth [lol] erm he herd it again he did sum research became muslim NASA thought he was crazy n mental n i think sakd him, but i dunno if this really happened or not... okay man stepping on moon what about when the Prophet [saw] split the moon?
mercury venus etc etc who gave them these name btw?

ma'salamah

The Planets were named by the early shepards in the mideast. They became part of many pagan religions the common names used for them come from the Romans and Greeks. The Arabic names for them are quite different.

The visible planets were known to the Arabs and the early Muslims These are the Arabic names:

The Sun Shams

Mercury Otaared

Venus Zuhra

Earth Ard

Moon Quamar

Mars Merrikh

Jupitar Mushtarie

Saturn Zuhal

The biggest surprise is how much they knew about them, without the use of telescopes.

 

[Mujahidah4Allah]

jazakAllah khair for the info bor eace: sub7anallah so true without technology sub7anallah how Allah [swt] gave the 7ikma to them ...

ma'salamah

Hyper, I've read that about Armstrong but I think it's a fake story.

The absolute proof that it really happened is the Screen writers union, the Actors guild, etc.

Going by the wage scales demanded by these various unions it would be much cheaper to send a man to the moon on a military pay scale than to pay union wages for a fantacized film.

Plus everybody knows any staged film produced in the US would have commercials.

Question:
I'm interested regarding NIL AMSTRONG.we know he had embraced islam.is he alive ? if so, pls reply about him.
Some of my friends don't belive regarding his embracing islam.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. The story about Neil Armstrong, who they say was the first man to step onto the surface of the moon, becoming a Muslim is one of the stories that are passed around among people. We have researched this story and we did not find any reliable source for it.

We have got used to hearing stories like that which then turn out to false, and it seems that this is a deliberate attempt to shake the faith of the ordinary Muslims, especially since they fabricated this story with some exciting details, that seem to affirm the superiority of this religion over all other religions. So they spread the news that famous people, such as artists, sportsmen and others have become Muslim, and they quote something with the story that affirms the truth of the Messenger and his message, then after a while they hasten to disprove these stories. Perhaps the story about Armstrong becoming a Muslim is of this type, because he is one of the most famous people in the world. Moreover the reason why he supposedly became Muslim – as they say – is that he heard the adhaan (call to prayer) on the Moon then he heard it again in Egypt.

If the story of such a famous person becoming Muslim was really true, you would see him calling people to Islam and you would see the scholars and daa’iyahs and the Islamic media meeting him and talking to him, none of which happened in this case. If you compare the story of Armstrong supposedly becoming Muslim with the story of Yusuf Islam (the former Cat Stevens, the famous British singer), you will see the difference between lies and truth, imagination and reality.

Yusuf Islam is one of the most famous of those who have really converted to Islam, so you see his picture in the Islamic media and he has his schools in Britain, and he travels in the Muslim world and performs Hajj and ‘Umrah. What has Neil Armstrong done of such things, even though he is far more famous?

Whatever the case, we do not need to hear the adhaan on the Moon in order to prove that our religion is true. If this man or anyone else becomes Muslim, he is the one who will benefit from that, and if he goes astray and disbelieves, then he is the one who will be harmed by that.

We remind you of the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say: O you mankind! Now truth (i.e. the Qur’aan and Prophet Muhammad), has come to you from your Lord. So whosoever receives guidance, he does so for the good of his own self; and whosoever goes astray, he does so to his own loss; and I am not (set) over you as a Wakeel (disposer of affairs to oblige you for guidance)”
[Yoonus 10:108] “Verily, We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur’aan) for mankind in truth. So whosoever accepts the guidance, it is only for his ownself; and whosoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his (own) loss. And you (O Muhammad) are not a Wakeel (trustee or disposer of affairs, or guardian) over them”
[al-Zumar 39:41]

And Allaah knows best what the truth of the matter is. May Allaah send blessings on our Prophet Muhammad(PBUH).

Nice thread and information. Jazakallah khair.

Poor lil pluto. Apparently theres gonna be more planets added? :?

 

[Malaikah]

sis no i dont think so becuase from what i read, if they were to make pluto a planet then they would have to add like 3 other planets too but they are all tiny... maybe they will just make them dwarf planets too.

im personally glad that they kicked pluto out! how can you call that thing a planet its so tiny and its moon is like almost as big as it is lol, doesnt anyone else think that pluto is a disgrace compared to the 4 gas giants... neptune rocks btw, and uranus too! they are my favs

 

[syedanoor]

oh i expected this to happen sooner or later :-(

they say that since this was the only planet founded by an American that for some reason everyone had doubt whether this would be a real planet or not...

hehe doubting american intelligence..what can i say?

and they are smaller Nix and Hydra.
anywaz i am not happy
pluto:grumbling:'(

 

[Malaikah]

wow really?? thats news to me!

pluto is dork sorry to be so harsh invest in the prettier planets

for example, neptune (very nice mashaallah):



uranus (subhannallah!):



or pluto (ive seen prettier rocks:giggling

 

[Najiullah]

wow really?? thats news to me!

pluto is dork sorry to be so harsh invest in the prettier planets

yeah sis. read more;D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_(moon)

[pie]Charon (IPA /ˈʃɛərən, ˈkɛərən/, Greek Χάρων) is the largest moon of Pluto, discovered in 1978. With the discovery in 2005 of two other moons of Pluto (Nix and Hydra), [/pie]

Odd I thought the discovery of Pluto Lowell was British. OOps, I just realised the Lowell obseravatory here in the States was named after him. Must have been a Brit that first Discovered Neptune then, I remember back in my school years Uranus was refered to as the Telescope planet, because It was the First Planet that was discovered through the use of a telescope. Neptune was the Newspaper planet cause it was the first planet discovered that made headlines in the worlds newspapers and Pluto was the Mathematicians Planet, cuase it was existance was found through mathematical calculations about orbits and when a telescope was pointed to the area, Lowell had calculated that there should be a planet, there was Pluto. Actually the name Pluto did come from an acrynom coined by Lowell. He did play with words so that it ended up as Pluto. (maybe he was pals with Walt Disney)

 

[Woodrow]

My error Lowell calculated the existance of Pluto, but it was Tombaugh who first saw it.

Lowell's greatest contribution to planetary studies came during the last 8 years of his life, which he devoted to the search for Planet X, which was the designation for a planet beyond Neptune. The search continued for a number of years after his death at Flagstaff in 1916; the dwarf planet, named Pluto, was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. The symbol for the planet is a stylized "PL" (♇), chosen in part to honor Lowell.

 

[Sweet_Boy]

It's Jupiter that has the big ugly red blemish. Venus is the most Beautiful of the planets. Often seen as the Morning Star or the Evening star.

Pluto never was a Planet, it was a misguided comet that got lost and disguised itself as a planet. Near sighted Percy Lowell using a toy telescope with a spot on it, misnamed it so that he could have a planet named after himself. Don't believe that mythological junk about how Pluto got it's name.

What did it do wrong?

 

[syedanoor]
