Abstract

Abad ke 13 SM konsep Heliocentris dikemukakan oleh seorang filosof Yunani: Aristarchus. Namun teori tersebut masih sebatas hipotesa, dan berseberangan dengan pendapat Aristoteles. Teori Heliocentris belum mampu menggantikan teori Geocentris, lebih-lebih dengan munculnya Ptolomeus (tahun 140 M) yang dikenal sebagai pelopor teori Geocentris, yang menulis buku besarnya berjudul Almagest dan menjadi rujukan para Astronom selama berabad-abad. Namun setelah Nicolaus Copernicus menulis buku dengan judul De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium yang mempublikasikan teori Heliocentris, akhirnya teori ini mampu meruntuhkan teori Geocentris yang telah lama mapan. Al-Qur’an yang diwahyukan jauh sebelum teori ini dikemukakan telah menjelaskan konsep astronomi tentang gerak bumi dan selaras dengan teori Heliocentris. Dalam al-Qur’an terdapat ayat–ayat tentang bumi, bulan dan matahari, seperti Surat Yūnus: 5, al-Naml: 88, Yāsīn: 38, dan 40, al-Anbiyā’: 33, Āli ‘Imrān: 190. Aḥmad Musṭafā al-Marāghī dalam Tafsīr al-Marāghī menegaskan bahwa teori Heliocentris-lah yang sesuai dengan al-Qur’an dan lahirnya teori Heliocentris adalah merupakan bagian dari mu’jizat al-Qur’an.***In the 13th century BC Heliocentric concept presented by the Greek philosopher: Aristarchus. But the theory is still a hypothesis, and contrary to the opinion of Aristoteles. Heliocentric theory has not been able to replace Geocentric one, especially with the emergence of Ptolemy (140 AD), known as a pioneer of the Geocentric theory, who wrote a big book titled Almagest which astronomers have refered for centuries. But after Nicolaus Copernicus wrote a book with the title De revolutionibus orbium Coelestium, his published heliocentric theory, and finally It was able to undermine Geocentric theory that has long been established. Quran which was revealed long ago before this theory has been presented, has explained the astronomical concept such us motion of earth, that aligned with the Heliocentric theory. In the Quran there are some verses of earth, moon and sun, among others: Surat Yūnus: 5, an-Naml: 36 - 88, Yāsīn: 38, dan 40, al-Anbiyā’: 33, Āli ‘Imrān: 190. According to the exegete such Aḥmad Musṭafā al-Marāghī in his book Tafsir al-Marāghī, that the Heliocentric theory was the one that inline with the Quran, and that the Heliocentric theory is a part of the miracle of the Quran.***Keywords: heliocentris, geosentris, tafsir, Nicolaus Copernicus
