FOREWORD

Allah, in the name of, the most affectionate and the merciful.

Physics is the most fundamental science concerned, with the basic principles Universe. It is one of the foundations on which the other physical sciences like Astronomy Chemistry and Geology (earth science) are based.

Regarding Physics, Mechanics is of vital importance from all disciplines. It is highly successful in describing the motion of material bodies, such as Planets, Rockets and based.

Famous firsts in Earth theory

Regarding earth theory, the famous firsts are:

1. Nicolas Copernicus (1473-1542) Poland
2. Galileo Galilee (1564-1642)
Italian Physicist & Astronomer
3. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) German Astronomer
4. Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
English Physicist & Mathematician
5. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German Physicist
6. Alahazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Bareilvi (rahmatullahi alayh)
(1856-1921) Muslim Scientist the Asian Physicist, Astronomer, Mathematician, Philosopher, Psychologist, Elegant Jurist of the Muslim World, a poet and renowned Scholar of the Islamic Sciences.

Galileo formulated the laws that govern the motion of objects in free fall. He investigated the motion of an object on an inclined Plane and established the concept of relative motion.

According to Isaac Newton, the gravitation is the intrinsic property of matter that every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

According to Einstein theory, space time is curved especially locally near massive bodies. This theory doesn’t tell us about the force of gravity acting on the bodies, instead we say bodies and light rays move along geodesics (equivalent to straight lines in plane geometry) in curved space time. Thus a body at rest or moving slowly near the great mass would follow a geodesic toward that body rather than force of gravity.

According to Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh), the Islamic theory (based on Quran and Hadith) explains that earth is static. In favour of his theory, Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) has written treatises like:

• Nuzool-i-Ayat-i-Furqan Besukoon-i-Zameen-o-Aasman, 1919.
• Mueen-i-Mubin Bahar Daur-i-Shamas-o-Sukoon-i-Zameen, 1919
(Eng. trans: A fair guide on the revolving sun and the static earth)
• Fauz-i-Mubin Dar Radd-i-Harkat-i-Zameen, 1919.

In his first treatise, Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) has discussed earth theory in the light of Qur’an and Hadith that earth and sky are static by quoting several verses from the Holy Quran.

In his second treatise, Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) has elaborated that sun is in motion while earth is static based on astronomical observations and calculations. Most probably, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the renowned Physicist and Atomic Scientist of the Muslim World has appreciated the arguments of Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) regarding motion of sun. (ref: Mujalla Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh).)

In his treatise “Fauz-i-Mubin” Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) has not only proved that earth is static with 105 argumentations in the light of Modern Physics, but also criticized the ideas of renowned scientists like, Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton and Albert Einstein. In his book “Fauz-i-Mubin” Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) has discussed various scientific spheres of knowledge including Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Astronomy and Astrology, Mathematics, Logarithm covering the topics of Planetary motion in the orbits and the Physical mechanics like attractive and repulsive forces, Centripetal force, Centrifugal force, friction coefficient, projectile motion, relative velocity, circular speed, buoyant force, density & pressure, structure of earth, theory of tides and distance from the sun, along with dozens of geometric diagram representations with algebraic, logarithmic and mathematical calculations.

Conclusion:-

According to Modern Physics, the rest and motion are not absolute but are relative. Also, the rest and motion depend on the observer and its frame of reference. As we are on the earth, so earth is static with respect to us which favor argumentations of static theory of Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh).

It is interesting to note that Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) is the first Muslim scientist of the 20th century who made rich creative scientific contributions regarding Modern Physics like static theory of earth.

In the end, I would like to suggest that to make the new generation conversant with the scientific work of Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh), it is necessary that various Seminars/Symposiums should be arranged at national/international level where significant research scholars may vehemently discuss the informative scientific work of Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) that can bring about a guideline in the scientific era.

In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent and the Merciful and we praise Him,
And send our best wishes to the Noble Prophet.

Praise be to Allah, Who grasps and holds firmly the heavens and the earth that they may not deviate, and if they were to deviate there is not one that could grasp them after Him. Behold He is ever Clement, Forgiving. He made the ships to be of service to you that they may run upon the sea at his command, and He has made the rivers subservient and useful to you. He has subdued the sun and the moon constant in their courses, to be of service to you. He has subdued the sun and the moon to serve your cause. Each runs to an appointed term. Beware that Allah is the Most Powerful and Forgiving. O, our Master, the Nourisher of us, You have not created all these things in vain. You are the Most Praiseworthy. Please, do protect us from the fire of the Hell, you have commanded us and Your Command is Right and Perfect.

And it is Your Command that the sun is running towards a resting place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty the Wise. And for the moon we have fixed the phases till it returns to the shape of an old shriveled palm-leaf. So, bestow upon the Prophet, the sun-like Messenger of your commandments, the Ladder to the place of ascent, the Zenith of your closeness and the Glory, where none has the power to reach. Verily, your Lord (i.e. Master; Nourisher) is your goal. And, also, O, Allah, bestow His (i.e. The Prophet’s) family, his companions and his relatives and his clan with your blessings. The sun has risen and this day is between yesterday and tomorrow. May Allah listen to our prayers and fulfill them. (AMIN)

By the Praise of Allah, the symbol of the light that came from the Mountain of Tour and shined all over from the Mount Sayeer and derived abundance from the Faran of Makkah Muazzamah with glittering light and thus came to know by the whole world. He brought out the secrets of movements of the sun and the moon and the stillness of the earth. But today, they are teaching contrary to that. And the Muslims are unaware of it. It is drilled into the minds of simple and unknowing children. It is diluting their faith and their adherence to Islam. May Allah protect us from it. The ancient philosophy, too, was wholly against it. But it had discussed insufficiently which was based on its own laws and it was contrary to their opponents. The Fakir (the saint), the seeker of shelter of the Prophet, the servant of him. Imam Ahmad Raza (rahmatullahi alayh) Mohammadi, Sunni, Hanafi, Qadri, Barkati, Brailvi, (may Allah forgive him and fulfill his desires) got inspiration to start publishing a sufficiently creditable magazine and that it should be on the basis of the same modern astronomy so that with its own affirmations and conceptions their contents be eradicated and falsified and thus it may lead, spontaneously, to falsify their theory of the motion of the earth and that of the stillness of the sun. And Allah is the best supporter.

This magazine, a historical epoch, was titled “Fauz-e-Mubeen Dar Radd-e-Harkat-e-Zameen” (meaning The clear success in the falsification of the movement of the earth), containing a foreword, four sections (chapters) and one concluding article. The Foreword will include 1238 conceptions of the modern astronomy which will be used in this book. The First Chapter will contain the discussion on the Repulsion leading to the resistance of the falsehood and absurdity of the Motion of the earth. There will be 12 proofs on this subject. In the Second Chapter, there will be arguments over the conception of the attraction leading to 50 proofs of the falsehood of the Motion of the earth. The Third Chapter is comprised of 43 proofs on the absurdity of the Motion of the earth, By the Praise of Allah, thus there are, in all, one hundred and five (105) proofs against the Motion of the earth of which fifteen have been discussed in the past in other books in which we have made corrections and alterations as required and out of these there are ninety (90), very clear & perfect. They are our own making, by the Grace of Allah. In Chapter Fourth, there is the resistance to those doubts which the modern astronomers tender in support of the correctness of the motion of the earth. At the end of it there are some proofs from the Heavenly Books in affirmation and support of the revolution of the sun and the stillness of the earth. Allah is the owner of all the things and the kingdom.
