 {{Quote|{{Quran|37|10}}|
 Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.}}
-===Moon is Further from the Earth than the Stars===
-{{Main|Cosmology of the Quran|l1=Cosmology of the Qur'an}}
-The Qur'an claims that the moon is located in the middle of the universe and stars are in the nearest/lowest part of the universe. [[w:List of nearest stars|The nearest star]] to our solar system is 4.24 light years (4x10<sup>13</sup>km) away and over 100 million times further away then the moon. Clearly the Qur'anic author has no idea that the vast majority of stars in the night sky are billions upon billions of light-years away.

-See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
-'And made the moon a light in their '''midst''', and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp}}

-Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars}}
