Ibn Firnas is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. In 1976 it was
named after Abbas Ibn Firnas, a polymath from Andalucia who, in the 9th century,
devised a chain of rings that is used to simulate the motions of the planets and stars.
Abu al-Qasim Abbas ibn Firnas ibn Wirdas al-Takurini

Sky’s protection
The sky protects the earth from the lethal rays of the sun. If the sky did
not exist then the sun’s radiation would have killed off all life on earth. It
also acts like a blanket wrapped around the earth.
We have discovered the Ozone layer in 1903 by French scientist
Charles Fabry
“We made the sky a protective ceiling. And yet they are turning away
from Our signs!” (Quran 21:32)

23. Hypoxia with height & lack of pressurization

24. o Iron is not natural to the earth. It did not form on the earth
but came down to earth from outer space.
o This may sound strange but it’s true. Scientists have
found that billions of years ago the earth was stuck by
meteorites. These meteorites were carrying Iron from
distant stars which had exploded (M. Walrath, History of the
Earth’s Formation)
o “We sent down Iron with its great inherent strength
and its many benefits for humankind.” (Quran 57:25)

Sun’s orbit
The belief that the Sun is stationary was widespread
amongst astronomers until the 20th century. It is
now a well-established scientific fact that the Sun is not
stationary, but is moving in an orbit around the
centre of our Milky Way galaxy.
“It is He who created night and day, the sun and the moon,
each floating in its orbit.”[Quran, 21:33]
