فلا اقسم بموقع النجوم
پس میں قسم کھاتا ہوں ستاروں کے گرنے کی۔
75- So, I swear by the place where the stars fall.
وانه لقسم لو تعلمون عظيم
اور اگر تمهيں معلوم هو تو يه بهت بڑى قسم هے (آيت 76-75 سورة واقع پاره27 )
76- And that is indeed a mighty vow, if you but knew. 56-The Inevitable, 75-76
The expression “place where... fall” موقع (mawqi) also mentioned in the sura, The Cave (Kehf), verse 53,
وراالمجرمون النار فظنو آانهم مواقعوها ولم يجدوا عنها مصرفا (آيت 53 سورة کھف پاره 15)
means the place where the sinners fall, i.e., hell. The root of this word is وقع “WaQa’Aa” and it means the “action of falling”.
FALLING OF STARS AND MIGHTY VOW
The place where the stars fall is stressed by a vow coupled with the tag “mighty.”
We shall see incommensurately great mathematical figures in connection with the death of stars whose fuel is exhausted. The great numerical values in the universe come about at the death of stars, to which reference is made with the following words in the Quran,
“And that is indeed a mighty vow, if you but knew.” وانه لقسم لوتعلمونعظيم
Everybody versed in physics knows that one of the most interesting phenomena in the universe is the black hole that comes about in the merge of the death of massive stars whose magnitudes are greater than three times the size of our sun. Having exhausted their fuel, these cosmic bodies die, collapsing inward upon themselves. The giant stars that contract possess a great gravitational force. This force is so immense that even light, with its velocity of approximately 300,000 km/sec, cannot escape from it. Black holes absorb even the light that passes by. Later on, a great many planets and stars are attracted by this gravitational force. That’s why black holes also constitute “the place where the stars fall.” The existence of black holes is assumed from the fact that they attract as whirlpools the matter of other nearby stars and emit X-rays, swallowing all the lights and stars around. The most interesting studies on Black hole is of Stephen Hawking.
The black holes formed by the collapse of stars by their gravitational force are in perfect conformity with verses 75-76 of the sura, inevitable سورة واقع. At the time of the descent of the Quran, the end of a star by being transformed into a black hole was something unknown. A star turning into a black hole and the stages it goes through are very interesting phenomena.
