| A Goat Stamped upon the Stars in Bible versus Quran |
By:

Before dealing with the topic of the Stars in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to give some statistical hints.
The total words in the Bible are 788,280 while total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times than the Quran to exhibit its topics.
Back to the Stars, they are mentioned 35 times in the Bibles and 9 times in the Quran.
Herein, I am talking about two Biblical verses Bible versus one Quranic verse.
How does the Bible deal with the Stars?
A Goat cast down some of the stars to the ground and stamped upon them.
Daniel 8:8-10
According to King James Version:
8Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
10And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
According to New American Standard Bible:
8Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9Out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.
10It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down.
The stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind
Revelation 6:13
According to New Living Translation:
Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind.
According to King James Version:
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
According to New American Standard Bible:
And the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.
The comment on these two Biblical verses is left for you the smart reader.
How does the Quran deal with the Stars?
The mighty swear
The Creator\'s mighty swear
The positions of the Stars
Allah Who created the Stars Swear with their positions and HE told us that this Swear is great and Mighty IF WE KNOW!
In Surah 56: 75-76
Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars and I swear with their positions, And that is indeed a mighty adjuration (great swear) if ye but knew,
When we look at the night sky we see Stars in different positions depending on the time of night. We also see different groups of Stars depending on the time of year. The reason we see Stars move during the night is because the Earth spins.
The Earth orbits the Sun in one year and in one year you will see many different groups of Stars in the sky. These groups are the constellations. Because the Earth orbits the Sun you will see different constellations, for example, at night in the winter months than in the summer. The Stars themselves exhibit motion relative to each other. Using repeated overlapped CCD scans (up-to-date sophisticated technique); positions for 661,591 Stars have been established, however with some errors.
As far as I know, There are 100,000,000,000 (100 Billion) Stars in the Milky Way, of which some 50 Million are cataloged.
Up my knowledge, which is admittedly limited in Astronomy, To plot \"all the Stars in our galaxy\" is undoubtedly impossible.
Hence, to determine the positions of the Stars is a very big issue that is out of human competence.
Now, do you realize and accept the value of Allah \' swear by the positions of the Stars.
The great issue of the positions of the Stars in the Quran is NEVER mentioned in the Bible.
We are in need of sciences and wisdom and intellectual people to determine precisely the positions of the Stars.
That is why, ALLAH said:
\"Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars and I swear with their positions, And that is indeed a mighty adjuration (great swear) if ye but knew\"
This means that if we know we would realize the value of Allah\' swear.
The mighty swear is for what?
If you admit that Allah\' swear is great and mighty, then I recommend you read Surah 56: 75-81 to know what is the reason for Allah\' swear.
Also, I may ask you the smart reader this question:
Is the Quran quoted from the Bible? And which book contradicts with the commonly known scientific knowledge?
The book which says that a Goat cast down some of the stars to the ground and stamped upon them and also says that the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind
Or the book which talks about the great issue of the positions of the Stars!
