SuhbanAllah, Allah has made us with eyes, ears, hands and feet and intelligence that lets us accomplish great things in life. Man has built great buildings, aircrafts, space crafts and all sorts of amazing things. We look below us, we see tiny specs of dust, small organisms and insects that look tiny compared to us. Plants, animals that we see around us make us think of the things we created as “big” and “amazing”. We begin to imagine ourselves as “big”, “intelligent” and “mighty”.
Then we look around us and we see the vast lands, huge mountains and oceans. We get the feeling of how big the earth is. When we stand at the foot of a giant mountain, or at the beach of an open sea, we are humbled by its greatness.
Somehow we are still able to relate to the huge oceans and mountains and earth in comparison to ourselves. Then we look up to the skies. We see planets and stars. So numerous and shining And we ask Is Earth the biggest thing in existence?
Is there something bigger than Jupiter?
But is there something even bigger than the sun?
Image above compares, on a real scale, our sun and the star Arcturus with the giant Antares. The dotted line represents the entire orbit of Mars (227 Million Km) while the Antares is 300 Million Km! The smaller star to the side is Arcturus. It is a mere 20 Million Kilometers. And our bright sun is the small dot on the top. If Antares were placed in the center of our solar system, its outer surface would lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. So are there more stars like Antares, or is it the only one?
Comparison on a real scale of our Sun and the small sliver on the side of largest star discovered in the universe! It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 quadrillion) Earths to fill the volume of VY Canis Majoris!!!
Praise be to Allah, My mind is truly humbled and numbed by this comparison. I cannot even imagine its vastness. Is there something bigger than VY Canis Majoris?
In recent times scientists have discovered the existence of pulsars. Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation. Their radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing straight towards the Earth. This lighthouse effect causes an observed pulsed nature that gives pulsars their name. The first pulsar was observed on November 28, 1967. Pulsars make sounds like a hammer or knock, and the radiations they emit can penetrate and puncture anything including the earth. The link below is to sounds of pulsars from Cornell University’s database. From this database please listen to: “B1933+16 One of the brightest known pulsars--every pulse is audible”; And also listen to the third file in the set: “B2020+28 A bright pulsar, most individual pulses are audible”.

Certainly not!
Allah Almighty created the planet Jupiter, the larger than earth by 1300 times!!! Is there something bigger than Jupiter?Certainly there is!………
The sun is much bigger than Jupiter. Sun has a diameter of about 1,392,000 kilometers (865,000 mi). Look at the picture below and you will realize how much bigger the sun is as compared to the earth.But is there something even bigger than the sun?
Certainly there is….!
The star Antares dwarfs our sun.Image above compares, on a real scale, our sun and the star Arcturus with the giant Antares. The dotted line represents the entire orbit of Mars (227 Million Km) while the Antares is 300 Million Km! The smaller star to the side is Arcturus. It is a mere 20 Million Kilometers. And our bright sun is the small dot on the top. If Antares were placed in the center of our solar system, its outer surface would lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. So are there more stars like Antares, or is it the only one?
There certainly are many…….
Verily! We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty).(6-37)
Praise be to Allah, A sky filled with stars like Antares. But is there something bigger than Antares?Certainly there is!………

وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ (١) وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ (٢) ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ (٣) آسمان اور رات کے وقت آنے والے کی قسم (۱) اور تم کو کیا معلوم کہ رات کے وقت آنے والا کیا ہے (۲) وہ تارا ہے چمکنے والا
The word “Tariq” accurately reflect the action or audio waves of these stars – knocking sounds, and the word “Thaqib” accurately reflect the outputs of these stars – penetrating waves, Is Pulsar the only thing that hugely endangers us with radiation or is there something that endangers us also?Source:
