By : Magdy Abd Al-ShafyWhat does Holy Quran says about the pulsar

The Holy Quran , the last revealed authenticatedbook , is replete with scientific facts that have beendiscovered already and have become scientificallyestablished ,and there are still many to be discoveredin the course of time . One might ask why ? theanswer is : besides the many other miracle of theprophet that are the same as Jesus and Moses and even Abraham , the Holy Quranis the immortal miracle which is considered the true miracle of prophetMohummmed . People in every age can see its miracle . We are now at the age ofscience . People , to believe in God , needs miracles that match the miracle of this age, The time of Moses was the age of magic , so Moses' were some thing thatoverpowered magic and even excelled this magic ,people in the time of Jesus wereclever in medicine , So most of Jesus miracles were something medical , he curedmany incurable diseases. Though I truly believe in them , some people arescrupulous about these as they did not see them themselves.

So , now , what is best way to convince those atheists of the existence of God andwhat is the best way to prove the divinity of any book that its adherents claim itsdivinity It should be something suitable to the age the age of science.

The Holy Quran gives the answer and even stands in the face of all the claims ofatheism

Among the many scientific facts that are mentioned is the Pulsar

God says in the Holy Quran what could be translated " Soon will We show them OurSigns in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomesmanifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witnessall things?"

The universe , as Islam , considers the open Book that proves the existence ofGod;many scientific facts were mentioned in the Holy Quran to strengthen the beliefof the believers and to take people back to God.

The Holy Quran mentions the pulsar by one of its most outstanding features ; Readthe following verse from the Holy Quran :

Quran " I swear] by Heaven and the Tariq ( The Knocker ) ! And what will conveyto you what the Tariq is? The Star Piercing [the darkness]! (Qur'an, 86:1-3) "

The word ( Tarek and the word Al-thakeb ) are two different Arabic words that are

used in the above-mentioned verse to describe the Pulsar , the word Altarek meansin English " the Knocker or that beats quickly and the word " Al-thakeb" means "piercing ", these two characteristics ( knocker and piercing ) are one of the mostspecific features of pulsar .

Let's first read the following information about the pulsar and we will be back againto the holy verse.

Pulsars originate when an old, massive

star explodes as a supernova. In thisprocess, the core of the star implodes.The core collapses through the whitedwarf stage until its constituent protonsand electrons combine to form neutrons.If it is not too massive (less than 1.4times the mass of the Sun) it canstabilize at this point as a very hot,incredibly dense ball of neutrons with athin crust of ordinary matter on itssurface. Neutron stars are spinning

rapidly when they form - up to about800 and even one thousand rotations persecond - and slow down as they age.These pulses of the pulsar arereminiscent of heart-beats or someone'sknocking quickly at door.

pulsar is a highly magnetized neutron star, with a radius of 10-15 km, having

somewhat greater mass than the Sun which has a radius of approximately 1 millionkm. Radiation is beamed out along the magnetic poles and pulses of radiation arereceived as the beam crosses the Earth, in the same manner as the beam from alighthouse causes flashes. Being enormous cosmic flywheels with a tick attached,they make some of the best clocks known to mankind.
