would fly off into space together with the Earth. This

would certainly be the end of Earth…

On the other hand, if the Sun started to exert an

even greater gravitational force, then our Earth would
plunge into the Sun and melt. In this case, we would

also vanish. Furthermore, the gravitational pull of the

Sun also prevents the planets in their respective orbits

from colliding with each other. However, have you

ever thought how the Sun attracts these planets?

The answer is obvious. It is our Creator Allah,

Exalted in Power, Who creates and continually pre-

Besides, not only the Sun has a gravitational pull.
The planets within the Solar System also have their

of this gravitation, the Moon is almost suspended at a

certain distance. In this way, Earth does not collide

with the Moon. Without doubt, the infinite might of

Allah prevents the Moon from falling onto Earth.

There is another gravitational pull similar to that

of the sun, which is specially designed for mankind to
live. That is the gravitational pull of the earth that

gives us our weight. The gravitational force, which we
