I decided to make you familiar with some verses of Koran as a study. Of course some verses of this scripture is about supernatural and unseen things that are not appropriate for you in this stage, but some verses speak about the nature and scientific matters and address to the facts based on the knowledge and observation of man. Koran doesn't point to the scientific things vivid and directly wholly, but it points to the scientific matters that exist in the space, earth, nature and beings, among human as the signs of God's creation. In other words, Koran doesn't want to disclose scientific things for man but its purpose is that to point to them, after human could discover a part of them.
When Koran sent down 1400 years ago, the knowledge of man about the space, sun, moon stars, phenomenons on the earth and nature was very low. At the time these verses were as a mystery for the old people, but now, in the science and industry centuries they can be revealed and discovered easier, though some of the points of Koran in this fields still remains covered, because of insufficient knowledge of man about the space and the source of creation. Good to know, Koran even points to the Big Bang. Let me I start to offer you the verses. I begin with one or two:
The old people supposed that the sun and moon are in an equal altitude and they appear in the day and night. They couldn't recognize their different distances to the earth due to the normal visual research and lack of having today astronomy tools and devices, among telescope, radio telescope and more than all spacecraft to travel out of the earth atmosphere. They also didn't discover this fact that the earth has an spherical shape and they imagined the earth is flat and has a start and end point. Koran points to this fact by pointing to the permanent and gradual advancing of light in the darkness and it also points to the different orbits and altitudes of the sun and moon in the space:
the sun runs to its final destination; that is the measurement of the almighty, the all knowledgeable. (38)
sun actually is not fixed in a place in the space. It is moving toward an unknown place in the Milky Way along with other planets of the solar system that is unknown for the astronomy scientists yet.
**************
and the moon, we have determined it in phases till it returns like an old palm branch. (39)
The orbit of moon hasn't a circular shape but it is like an ellipse. It also moves with the regular phases that sometimes is close to the earth and sometimes gets away. The curvature shape of the old palm branches have the elliptical figures similar to the moon orbit that changes its route a little in the different seasons due to changes of the axis of the earth, and consequently this change affect the gravity of the earth on the moon. I drew a shape (though is not scientifically much) to show the example. The heads of the ellipse are where the moon returns to its start point.
the sun shall not outstrip the moon, nor shall the night outstrip the day. each is floating in an orbit. (40)
This points to the so accuracy of the time of movement and replacement of the moon, when clock was not invented yet! It also points to the different height of the sun and moon in the space that they never meet each other.
