By Arif Arshad BANGALORE, KARNATAKA, INDIA -- Scientists talk about Retrograde Motion today, but Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) had explained this 1400 years ago. The science of astronomy states that the speed of planet Mars has been decreasing in its course towards the eastern direction to the level we notice the “waver” between the east and the west, and on Wednesday the 30th July 2003, the planet movement stopped going towards the eastern direction. Then in the months of August 2003 and September 2003, Mars changed its course in the opposite direction to the West- and that until the end of September, which means the sun will rise now from the west on Mars! And this weird phenomena of the opposite movement is called “Retrograde Motion” Most scientists state that all the planets will go through the same once at least and our planet Earth is one of them - the planet right next to Mars. Planet Earth will move in the opposite direction some day and the sun will rise from the west! This might occur soon and we are unaware! Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said: “One of the signs of the hour, the sun will rise from the west, where no longer Tauba (forgiveness) will be granted”! And the strange thing, most of our Shariah scholars mentioned that the rise of the sun from the west occurs only once, on that day, the sun will rise from the west, then again from the east, and continues until Allah wishes, and this is similar to what is happening to Mars, it stops, then it changes its course of direction for a short period of time, then returns to the way once it was. Abu Hurayrah(RA) narrated that the messenger of Allah (Pbuh) said, “The day of the hour will not come until the sun rises from the west, if it rises and Allah places His hand at night to forgive his morning sinners, and places in the morning to forgive his night sinners until the sun rises from the west” (Muslim). This piece of news is very important as it brings with it a great sign of warning and rememberance of the coming of a new world - the world of the Hereafter. As Muslims we should convey this Hadith to the world which was told by the Prophet (Pbuh), 1400 years ago. http://IslamBank.com/print.php?sid=2613 As all those essay type questions used t'say back in high school exam papers, 'The Sun has risen from the West on Mars, We're next. Discuss:' From those of you keeping score at home, Wednesday 30 July 2003 was 1st of Jumada-al-Thania 1424...also a wednesday on the Hijri calendar (who knew?). http://moonsighting.com/1424jmt.html |

| [slm], It is a completely inaccurate article written perhaps by a novice with absolutely no understanding of planetary motions or astronomy. A simple google search on "retrograde motion" will reveal the truth on this. It is sad that muslims propagate such nonsense around. Really think about it, you maybe putting words in the Prophet's (saw) mouth by doing this. Same thing I have seen with Quran with people trying to interpret it and mentioning some "scientific" phenomenon which turns out to be completely inaccurate (which Quran never said in the first place!!!).
