From an Islamic perspective, celestial mechanics is the study of the divine laws and order that govern the motion of heavenly bodies. The Quran repeatedly points to the predictable orbits of the sun, moon, and stars as profound signs (*ayat*) of God's Oneness, power, and meticulous design. Verses like 7:54 describe these bodies as 'subjected to His command,' which classical scholars like Al-Tabari interpret as their unwavering adherence to the physical laws ordained by God. Furthermore, verse 22:65, which speaks of God 'withholding the sky from falling,' is understood by commentators such as Ibn Kathir and Maududi as a reference to the divine mercy manifest in the forces that maintain cosmic stability and prevent celestial chaos. This Quranic worldview, which portrays a lawful and knowable cosmos, historically catalyzed significant advancements in astronomy and mathematics during the Islamic Golden Age, as the pursuit of this knowledge was seen as an act of appreciating the Creator's handiwork.
