Pembahasan Surat An Najm

Surat An - Najm

Background: Surat An Najm kerap diterjemahkan dengan "The Stars" tetapi beberapa mufasirin berpendapat sbb:
1. An Najm : Kumpulan Bintang-Bintang "Thurayah" di menurut bangsa Arab maksudnya constelation bintang-binta
2. The Sirius: 3 Bintang yang paling dekat ke Bumi diluar Tata Surya kita dan paling terang cahaya, bintang ini muncul setiap awal musim gugur (fall/autumn), buat yang tinggal di Nothern Hemisphere akan lebih mudah melihat sirius ini
3. Pendapat lainnya Najm adalah Alquran , the way of life
4. Ada juga yang berpendapat Najm itu adalah Nabi Muhammad SAW itu sendiri.

Pembahasan Ayat perayat;
1. diAyat yang pertama Allah SWt bersumpah dengan menyebut Bintang yang hampir tenggelam, "Wa Najmi Idza hawwa". sebagai pelajaran seperti pencarian Tuhan oleh Nabi Ibrahim, bahwa Allah lah Tuhan dari Bintang-bintang dilangit, Mana mungkin Tuhan menghilang tergantikan oleh siang hari.

2. Allah telah menyiapkan Nabi Muhammad sejak dini sebagai Rasul terakhir, message ayat ke dua ini kepada kaum musryikin Mekkah, bahwa Nabi Muhammad adalah dari golongan mereka sendiri, "Sahibukum" yang mereka ketahui asal-usulnya, sejarahnya dan mereka percayai sebagai al Amin, orang yang terpecaya.

3. Al Quran yang diturunkan Allah bukannya datang dari pikiran Nabi Muhammad seperti halnya puisi-puisi yang banyak pada zaman itu, puisi yang ada saat itu adalah hawa nafsu dari para pengarangnya yang bisa melukiskan satu hal dengan kondisi yang berlawanan, sebab semuanya bergatung "desire" dari sang pengarang

4. TBC

Theory Relativitas

Why is it called a theory of RELATIVITY?
Because time and length are no longer absolutes. You’ve got your digital watch on your wrist and a metre ruler on your desk. These seem like absolutes: a second and a centrimetre for you must be the same as they are for me, and the same as they are on Alpha Centauri. But they’re not.

If I stay on my balcony while you start a career as an astronaut flying round the galaxy at an incredible speed (and it would have to be pretty close to the speed of light: 300,000km/sec), and if you could later whiz past my balcony so that we could somehow compare watches and rulers, your metre ruler would be smaller and your watch would be going slower than mine. (Actually that wouldn't be possible because the human eye can't spot things moving at that kind of speed, and spaceship rockets do nasty things to balconies that are only a few metres away. But if it were practically possible, it would be fun.)

While you’re out in space travelling at some unbelievable speed nothing seems to you to have changed. It’s only if you have a chance to compare measurements of time and length with those back home that you see that something odd has happened.

All the introductions to Einstein talk about the twin paradox. What's that?
One 25 year old twin stays on earth while the other, fresh out of astronaut school, sets off on a space voyage travelling at 90% of the speed of light. After 10 years in space, with her mission accomplished, she turns round and heads back to earth. By the time she lands she knows from her on-board clock that 20 years have passed. She is now 45 years old. Fortunately, her study of relativity has prepared her for the shock when she sees her twin sister, who is now 71 years old.

Conclusion: Space travel, when it is really, really fast, is also time travel: you travel into the future without getting that much older yourself.
