THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum al-Khamis. 6th day of RAJAB (Thursday 18th February 2021).

SOME SAY WE MUSLIMS WORSHIP THE SUN OR THE MOON, LET'S HEAR WHAT OUR LORD SAYS ABOUT THAT FROM THE REVELATION OF GUIDANCE HE SENT TO US THROUGH PROPHET MOHAMMED sallalLaahu  Alaihi Wasallam (THE QURAN). BismilLah. 

In Suuratul Fussilat, Quran 41:37 ALLAH commanded the Prophet Mohammed sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam to inform mankind that;

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِ ٱلَّيۡلُ وَٱلنَّهَارُ وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُۚ لَا تَسۡجُدُواْ لِلشَّمۡسِ وَلَا لِلۡقَمَرِ وَٱسۡجُدُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمۡ إِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُونَ 

Among ALLAH'S signs are the NIGHT and the DAY, the SUN and MOON. DO NOT PROSTRATE to the SUN or to the MOON, but PROSTATE to ME, ALLAH, who created them, if ITS ME, ALLAH that you worship. ALLAHU Akbar. 

Here ALLAH reminds HIS Creation of HIS power, and that HE is the One Who has no equal, and HE is Able to do all things. HE created the night with its darkness and the day with its light, and they alternate without ceasing. And HE created the sun with its shining light, and the moon with its reflected light, and HE allotted their stages and gave them separate orbits in the heavens, so that by the variations in their movements man may know the stages of night and day, of weeks, months and years, and time periods related to people's rights, acts of worship and various transactions. Moreover, because the sun and moon are the most beautiful of the heavenly bodies that can be seen in both the upper and lower realms, ALLAH points out that they are created entities which are in a state of enthrallment to HIM, subject to HIS dominion and control.

So HE says:

Do not prostrate yourselves to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to ME Who created them, if you (really) worship ME.

meaning, do not associate anything in worship with HIM, for your worship of HIM will be of no benefit to you if you worship others alongside HIM, because HE does not forgive the association of others in worship with HIM. Beautiful verse isnt it? AlhamdulilLah. 

May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
