So many signs in the Qur'an and the Hadiths rely on phenomena of nature.

One Hadith says of the Persians that they would reach truth even if it was as high up as the Pleaides...

How many people have actually tried to look for the Pleiaides?

(It is a small close group of seven stars near Taurus. If you find it, you get the impression that they are indeed very far away.)

I wonder how many signs we don't completely appreciate simply because we're not that sensitive to nature anymore?

We keep reinventing the wheel. The mainstream community has already done that. Its sad that as Muslims we cannot now offer anything different. We dont have community leaders and guides who can genuinely make us move forward as an Ummah which benefits mankind and nature.
Sad, really...

Late professor Muhammed Hamidullah of Paris says in his book The Life and Works of the Prophet of Islam that beloved Prophet (PBUH) could identify eleven stars in the Pleiades's constellation.

Why don't you become a community leader and guide who can us move forward.

Rasulullah (saw) has better eyes than me I could only see five, the books say seven are visible with the naked eye.

Rasulullah (saw) has better eyes than me I could only see five, the books say seven are visible with the naked eye.

Even this sinner was pleasantly surprised to know that. Next time some smarty blabbers about Muslim's backwardness about science ask him to count the stars in Pleiades's with naked eye! Then tell him that Rasoolallah could count 11.
Now I'll turn the discussion to my favourite direction. I have requested you to start a blog about looking at Physics from the point of view of Islam. I have the same intention in one of my blogs (the third one in my signature) but can not still focus on that aspect. The reason is that there are not enough blogs by SF type people looking at the political, social, cultural and economic things. If these were there then I'll request Dr Abu Tamim to focus on medical aspects. At the moment my energy as well as his energy is getting channelized in the wrong direction. We have to discover and/or develop Islamic attitude and perspective on every branch of knowledge. In absence of that people take it for granted that there is no Islamic take on these things.

Who, me? Start a blog about Physics and Islam? When was this?

I'll try to think of where to begin. Where does one begin anyway?

As for the Pleiades, it depends on how clear the sky is as well. I live in a town area. Bedouins in the desert probably see more than seven.
