MIRACULOUS NINE DAYS

Divine Protection

ACCORDING to researchers at University of California, Berkeley, a rapid succession of coronal mass ejections — the most intense eruptions on the sun — sent a pulse of magnetized plasma barrelling into space and through Earth’s orbit. The massive magnetic storm had a speed of 3,000 km per second — enough to circle Earth five times in one minute. Had the eruption come nine days earlier, when the ignition spot on the solar surface was aimed exactly at Earth, it would have hit the planet.

In a paper appearing on March 18, 2014 in the journal Nature Communications, researchers say that the solar burst tore through Earth’s orbit but, fortunately, Earth and the other planets were on the other side of the sun at the time. Had Earth been in the line of sight, it would have suffered severe magnetic storms as the magnetic field of the outburst would have tangled with the planet’s own magnetic field. This would have wreaked havoc with the electrical grid, disabling satellites and GPS, and disrupting our increasingly electronic lives.


What was this “luck”? In fact, it was an intervention by the Lord of the Universe.

According to this report, a massive magnetic storm erupted on the surface of the sun on July 22, 2012. This event may have proved to be destructive for the planet Earth. But, luck saved us from this havoc. And, that luck was that Earth was on the other side of the sun at that time.

What was this 'luck'? In fact, it was an intervention by the Lord of the Universe. In the vast space, these solar bursts happen very often. However, every time our planet remains safe from danger. This phenomenon is proof that there is a high control of checks and balances in the universe. It is this control that saves us from being victims of those solar bursts. This universal management has been mentioned in the Quran in these words:

Say, ‘Who will save you from the wrath of the Most Gracious, by night and by day?’ Yet they turn away from the remembrance of their Lord.
THE QURAN 21:42
