Part 8/14:
The Quran aligns celestial events—like the solstices, equinoxes, and planetary alignments—with spiritual and divine principles.
Specific chapters, such as Surah 91 (The Sun), and verses describing the sun and moon, mirror astronomical facts like the sun’s closest approach during the winter solstice (~91 million miles from Earth).
The paradigm of "ascension" (Mi’raj) is metaphorically connected with celestial bodies, galaxies, and cosmic alignments, especially Sirius, which is associated with the divine throne and law.
