I am Back,

Now to reply on the location of the Stars. I shall answer your comment as follows

May be it is a good idea to start studying the Quran and foind why over 1.5 Billion people follow the Holy Quran by word

If a miracle can not scientifically be expalined in an era when science was not advanced enough to proof it, then it is indeed a miracle.

God in the Quran swore by many things - including by the city (Mecca) (Q 90,1), by the location of the stars (Q 56,75), by your vision (Q 69,38), by the lord of the Easts and Wests (Q 70,40), by the day of ressurection (Q 75,1), by the twilight (Q 84,16), by the planets (Q 81,15), by the night (Q 81,16), by the dawn (Q 81,17), by self reproching soul (Q 75,2).

Mohammad said if we are to swear, we should only swear by God, and we should be telling the truth, We should only swear in serious matters and we should not make a habit of swearing.

Now we come to the question in hand, WHY God swore by the Location of the Stars, NOT by the stars themselves.

To make it clear that GOD did not swear by the STARS, God swore by the LOCATION of the Stars

The reason as everyone who has basic knowledge of astronomy knows that what we see in the sky are not the stars in their present locations, but what we see are the stars in their location thousands and millions of years ago, since the light reaching us from them takes so much time to reach us.

So it is a mighty swear by God who showed us and it was confirmed by science the truth about the stars and their locations.

How could Mohammad understand this phenomenon if he was not aware of this fact that was proved by modern science and it was proved that stars do move apart expanding the universe.

So when Mohammad said "I swear by the location of the stars" he did not know what it meant until science proved it. therefore it is not his words, but divine Words
