This document discusses black holes and pulsating stars (pulsars) from an Islamic perspective. It references verses from the Quran that may describe scientific phenomena like black holes and pulsars. The verses referenced discuss stars becoming dim and obliterated, which could relate to black holes, as well as pulsating stars that rotate rapidly, matching the modern scientific understanding of pulsars. The document suggests these Quranic verses reveal knowledge of astronomical concepts discovered recently by modern science.

20. THE BLACK HOLES
They nevertheless reveal themselves
indirectly, by the tremendous
suction which their gravitational
force exerts on other heavenly
bodies.
As well as depictions of the Day of
Judgement, the verse below may
also be pointing to this scientific
discovery about black holes:
23. THE BLACK HOLES
Moreover, stars of great mass also
cause warps to be perceived in space.
Black holes, however, do not just
cause warps in space but also tear
holes in it.
That is why these collapsed stars are
known as black holes.
24. THE BLACK HOLES
This fact may be referred to in
the verse about stars, and this
is another important item of
information demonstrating
that the Holy Qur'an is the
Word of Allah:
30. PULSARS: PULSATING STARS
Pulsars are the remains of
extinguished stars which emit very
powerful, pulse-like radio waves and
which revolve very rapidly around
their own axes.
It has been calculated that there are
more than 500 pulsars in the Milky
Way, of which our Earth is a part.
39. PULSARS: PULSATING STARS
Shortly afterwards, it was also realised that
the source of these signals is the rapid
revolution of neutron stars.
These newly discovered neutron stars are
known as "pulsars."
These stars, which turn into pulsars through
supernova explosions, are of the greatest
mass, and are the brightest and fastest
moving bodies in the universe.
Some pulsars revolve 600 times a second.50

The concept of the term
"adraka" in the expression
"And what will convey to
you what the Tariq is?"
refers to comprehension.
