Stars Moons

In Bible versus Quran: The stars are not pure

The Bible (Job 25:4-6) says that

Man is but a worm.
The son of man is a worm
Is he pure the born of a woman?
How can a man be justified with God?
The moon is not bright, it does not shine
The stars are not pure

-----------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, the Noble Quran talk about 1) who is justified with God, 2) is the man worm or what and 3) the great oath of the setting places of the stars (In the verses 53:31 and/or 18:107, the verse 95: 4 and 56:75-76 respectively).

The meaning of verse 53:31

And Unto Allah belonged whatsoever is in the heavens of creation and whatsoever is in the earth of created beings; they are all slaves of Allah.

Allah will reward those who do evil deeds according to that which they have done

And Allah will reward those who do good deeds; those who believe in Allah's divine Oneness with the best reward, namely, Paradise.

The meaning of verse 18:107

Surely, as for those who believe in and perform righteous deeds shall be the gardens of paradise; they will dwell for their entertainment, in the highest rank of Paradise.

The meaning of verse 95: 4

Verily Allah created man in the best of forms, in the best proportioning of his shape, in the best stature.

The meaning of verses 56:75-76

Nay, I (Allah) swear by the setting-places of the stars!

And indeed it is a tremendous oath, if you know — if you have deep knowledge, you would realize the magnitude of this oath.

-----------------------------------------------------

Herein, there are some points,

1) The Bible, in the New Testament mentions the son of man more than 80 times; the son of God in the NT represents the Lord Jesus. In other word, the son of man which is a worm in the Old Testament is the symbol of the Lord Jesus in the NT as for example [Matthew 12:8, For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.]

2) How come then that God (the Lord Jesus as the Christians believe) is a worm?

3) Man and the son of man are not worms. Worms are hermaphrodites; their bodies contain both male and female reproductive organs; also, they are invertebrates. Worms do not have backbones, lungs, teeth, etc. The circulatory system of worms is different than our.

4) Are there pure stars and impure ones? This question is to those who are interested in Astronomy.

5) The Bible says that the stars are not pure in his (God) eyes. In the Quran, Allah says, I swear by the setting-places of the stars! And indeed it is a tremendous oath, if you know; if you have deep knowledge, you would realize the magnitude of this oath.

6) The Quran says that Allah created man in the best of forms, in the best proportioning of his shape, in the best stature.

==============================

The Bible

Job 25:4-6 (American Standard Version)

4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

5 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight:

6 How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm!

The Quran

Verse 53:31(Shakir translation):

and Allah's is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that he may reward those who do evil according to what they do, and (that) he may reward those who do good with goodness

Verse 18:107(Shakir translation):

Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, their place of entertainment shall be the gardens of paradise,

Verse 95:4 (Shakir translation):

Certainly we created man in the best make

Verses 56:75-76 (Pickthal translation):

75. Nay, I swear by the places (the settings) of the stars -

76. And lo! That verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew –

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Why stars, planets and moons do exist in spherical shapes?

It hardly matters to me if stars, planets, and moons had 'other than spherical shapes' or if said shape changes in future! Question is if they did exist as spherical 'in a start of their life cycle'? Further, will they continue to remain as spherical in 'middle and end of their life cycles'! What truly retain their spherical shapes (means if it is an internal binding within each spherical body or an external force retains the shape?.

Any logical answer will do!

The more massive an object is, the more it will be affected by its own gravitational attraction. Every bit of matter in a body is attracted to every other bit of matter. The bigger the body is, the greater the attraction on each bit. The natural result of this attraction is a spherical shape, since each molecule is attracted to the center of mass, and a sphere minimizes the distance of each molecule from the center.

This explanation should make the answer to all of your other questions clear. The only important factor here is mass. The more massive an object is, the more quickly it will pull itself into a spherical shape. So stars will always be spheres, terrestrial planets (like Earth) will have some surface features, smaller moons will have more pronounced surface features, and even smaller objects will form less-spherical shapes (Mars' moons, for instance, are extremely small and are not spherical).
