question may be posed as to why, then, the moon does not fall down? Would you like to soy that the planets on the other side ore pulling it apart from them Ref. No.227 Thousands of times it has happened that all the planets including the earth are to one side and the moon alone is at the other side and as such the attraction of the planets is not taken for granted. And, verily, it is unacceptable, too, as they are, all and all, stationary. So, the pressure from all sides is equal and that is why the effect is zero. Now why does not the moon fall down? All these majestic elephants altogether are pulling this tiny bird (i.e. the moon) with all their might and in the process they ore totally exhausted and the bird is there as if it cares a little of them What kind of attraction is this? Surely and certainly it is a foolish indulgence. NINTH RESISTANCE Ref.: No. 228: we have already cut down the very semblance of the theory of repulsion and if at all, we fancy it to be then this fact comes true of it that it increases in proportion to the force of the attraction and so also its speed depends on the ratio of the repulsion, No.7. Verily, it should have been, in this condition, that the planets around it were isolated its speed should have decreased due to the inter-complication of their power of attractions and thus their force of pulling is getting feeble. When all the planets were on one side of the earth its speed would have always been more because it has to face the sum total of the various attractions. But it never so happens, On the contrary it remains on the appointed course to which is ordered to by the Divine Decree (As is said in The Holy Quran:). It doesn’t care for the assemblies and constellations of the planets. So also it has nothing to worry about their isolations. Hence, wholly it is evident that the theory of attraction is an imaginary past time. TENTH RESISTANCE: Ref: 229 The high tide and the low tide of the oceans is the best witness of the
