Assalamulaikum…

To all Astronomy fans, recently the phenomenon of Solar Eclipse is happen whether we realize or not about this situation… but the most important things here is that we should remind our self about the greatness of Allah s.w.t .  While, we have the opportunity to see with our own eyes of this phenomenon, we should feel how beautiful Allah create this world. For all stargazer out there, while we are very fanatic about this Astronomy Knowledge… we always keep our self busy hunting new info about the coming phenomena, organize stargazing anywhere part of this world with maximum effort we put in into this field of knowledge but at the same time we should increase our faith and believe to the the creator of this world.

For all students in International Islamic University Malaysia this Astronomy field is like the “add on” knowledge to Islamic Students because this Astronomy field is very related in our daily life like the prayer time, kiblah direction, hijrian calendar, determine when  Syawal or Ramadhan.

In Quran[ Yunus:5]

“It is he who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years ant the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create but in truth and righteousness . (Thus) doth he explain His signs  in detail, for thise who understand.”

“Dia-lah yang menjadikan matahari besinar dan bulan bercahaya dan ditetapkannya manzilah-manzilah (tempat-tempat) bagi perjalanan bulan itu, supaya kamu mengetahui bilangan tahun dan perhitungan (waktu). Allah tidak menciptakan itu melainkan dengan hak. Dia menjelaskan tanda-tanda (kebesaran-Nya) kepada orang-orang yang mengetahui.” (continue reading…)
