Collection: Sirius

Modern Scientific Discovery:

Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, located approximately 8.61 light-years from Earth. It is a binary star system composed of Sirius A (the visible star) and Sirius B (a white dwarf companion).

🔭 Key Scientific Facts:

• The distance from Earth to Sirius is 861 centi-light years (8.61 light-years).
• Sirius A is 1.711 times larger than the Sun in radius.
• The Qur’ān contains numerical patterns related to Sirius that match these modern findings.

Qur’ānic Revelation:

📖 Verse 1: Mention of Stars
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
"By the stars when they fade away."
📖 (Qur’ān 53:1)

📖 Verse 2: Mention of Earth
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌۭ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ ۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ
"Those who avoid gross sins and indecencies—except for minor lapses—your Lord is of Vast Forgiveness. He knows you well, ever since He created you from the Earth, and ever since you were embryos in your mothers’ wombs. So do not acclaim your own virtue; He is fully aware of the righteous."
📖 (Qur’ān 53:32)

Scientific Explanation:

The Qur’ān refers to a star (najm) in 53:1 and the Earth (ard) in 53:32. What makes this remarkable is:

✅ The number of letters separating "star" (النجم) and "earth" (الأرض) in this chapter is exactly 861—matching the 861 centi-light-year distance of Sirius from Earth.
✅ The numerical relationship between Chapter 91 (The Sun) and Chapter 53 (The Star) is 1.711, which matches the exact ratio of Sirius A’s radius to the Sun’s radius (1.711 times bigger).

🔍 Why is this astonishing?

• These astronomical figures were completely unknown 1400 years ago.
• The precise numerical alignment of Sirius' distance and size ratio within the Qur’ān's structure cannot be a coincidence.
• The Qur’ān’s mention of a star fading away (53:1) is also intriguing, as Sirius B is a white dwarf—a star that has already "faded" after exhausting its fuel.

Conclusion:

The connection between the Qur’ān’s verses, numerical patterns, and the scientific details about Sirius is truly extraordinary. These insights, discovered only recently through astronomy, were already embedded in the Qur’ān over 1400 years ago, serving as a clear sign of divine knowledge.
