It’s a scientific fact that the earth rotates round its own axis

It’s a scientific fact that the earth rotates round its

own axis in a circular motion and its speed at the

equator is about 1670 km per-hour, a speed that’s

faster than that of sound which is 1,200 km per-hour,

still we don’t feel such rotation. Allah, the exalted

says in the holy Qur’an:

“Thou seest the mountains and thinkest them firmly

fixed: but they shall pass away as the clouds pass

away: (such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of

all things in perfect order: for he is well acquainted

with all that ye do.” Naml or Ants: 27:88

In addition to rotating round its axis, the earth rotates

round the sun very fast, more than one hundred

thousand km per-hour. In other words, the earth

rotates round itself one full rotation every day and

rotates round the sun one full rotation every year and

it also rotates along with the solar group round the center of the galaxy in more than 200 million years to

complete one rotation. Let’s contemplate the following

ratios concerning the rotations; a day, a year, 200

million years. What’s more is that the entire galaxy

rotates in an enormous orbit whose end is known by

no one except for Allah, the omniscient; Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur’an:

“It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon,

nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims

along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).” Ya-Sin: 36:

Such facts prove the mighty of Allah, the great; all

glory to Allah.
