Compliments| Direct Objects and Indirect Objects

Compliments-english-grammar-direct-and-indirect-objects-kashmir-rawalakot.
The most basic order of a sentence in the English language is
Subject + Predicate
And if we break it down further, then the basic order of a sentence is
Subject + Verb + Object.
And those objects are called compliments because these are the words that complete the meaning of a verb.
There are two types of compliments in the English language.
  • Direct Object
  • Indirect Object

Direct Objects

Direct Objects are super easy to spot because their position is very regular. These objects always follow transitive action verbs and answer the questions: what or whom. Their general formula is
Subject + Verb +What/Whom.
Subject + Verb + Direct Object.
For example,
Rayyan and Ali play tennis in the court.
Rayyan and Ali = Subjects; play = verb, which is our action verb which needs another word to receive the action in order to complete the meaning of the sentence, called transitive verb.
Now we can ask our "Direct Objects" questions.
Rayyan and Ali played what? Tennis = Direct object.
Let's look at another example of Direct Object.
Adriana loves singing more than anything else.
Again Adriana = Subject; loves = verb; Adriana loves what? Direct Object = singing.
Example:
She is wearing her beautiful clothes.
She = Subject; wearing = verb. What is she wearing? Beautiful clothes = Direct Object.
Example:
He hates dogs.
He = subject; hates = verb; He hates whom? Dogs = Direct object.

Indirect Objects

Indirect objects are very easy to spot as they are found after the transitive verb and before the direct object.
Transitive Verb ------ Indirect Object ------ Direct Objects

Indirect objects answer the questions; To whom, for whom, and to what.
Let's look at the following examples.
She gave my friend a gift.
The object has been given is a gift and it was given to MY FRIEND.
She = Subject; gave = verb; what did she give to my friend? A gift = Direct Object; 
She gave a gift to whom? Friend = Indirect Object.
This sentence can also be written as
She gave a gift to my friend.
There is no difference in meaning between the two sentences but the last one does not contain an Indirect Object. Do you know why? To understand, look at the "POSITION" of the word friend; is it where it needs to be in order to be considered an Indirect Object?
No, it is not!
In fact, it is just a part of a prepositional phrase and cannot be an indirect object.

Scientific Miracles of Quran | Perfect Orbits in the Universe

Science- Quran - Scientific-facts-in-the-Quran-Islam-Rawalakot

Before the invention of the telescope and discovery made by Copernicus, it was thought that the Earth was stationary and was at the center of our solar system while Sun and all other celestial bodies move around it.

However, in1500 Nicolaus Copernicus proposed that all the planets, involving Earth, actually revolved around the stationary Sun which was at the center of our solar system. Although this model was not perfect because it could not describe the path of revolving planets around the Sun. In other words, it could not define the shape of the orbits but It provided a ground for other scientists to work on.

Later on, the shape of the orbits was determined by Danish astronomer Kepler. He determined that the planets revolve around the stationary Sun in elliptical orbits rather than circular ones. These revolutionary discoveries showed that the Sun was in the center of our solar system and that it was stationary.

However, it had not been yet discovered that Sun moved in its own orbit. This discovery was made by an Italian scientist Galileo who is credited with the creation of optical telescope which could magnify an object twenty times. By observing the movement of sunspots, Galileo discovered that the Sun also rotates on its own axis and each revolution takes about an Earth month. The sun not only rotates but down the road, it was also discovered that it also orbits the center of our galaxy.

To conclude, each celestial body swims in its orbit or path defined for it. And this fact was discovered only a couple of centuries before.
Islam-and-Quran-Rawalakot-Paniola-Science-universe-orbits


What about if I tell you about the BOOK which described the same Scientific Fact 1400 years ago.
Yes! The Quran mentioned the motion of celestial bodies and their orbits at the time when the science and technology did not exist even by name. 
The Quran says:

“The sun runs through its course, this course is pre-estimated for it by the Almighty, the All-knowing". (Surah Yaseen: 38)

"It is He Who created the Night and the Day and the Sun and the Moon: all (celestial bodies) swim along each its rounded path (Orbit)". (Surah Al-Anbiyaa: 33)


"It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon nor can the Night outstrip the Day: each just swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law)". (Surah Yaseen: 40)

In the first verse, it has been stated clearly that the course of the Sun is pre-estimated and according to the science, the Sun's speed is 750,000Km/hr, it's the speed with which orbits the galaxy.
The Quran also discussed the rising points of the Sun in the following verse:


"The Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and all that is between them - and the Lord of the easts (Sun's rising points)". (Surah As saffat:5)

It is understood from the verse that the Sun has more than one rising points. If you observe the rising points of the Sun with respect to your home, you will see that it changes at different points throughout the year. It seems to float on the eastern horizon as you can see in the animation given down. 
From this explanation, if we think justly we will have to conclude that the Quran cannot be a book of any human because if it were so, then such scientific facts could not have been mentioned in it at the time when there was no science. How could a person who existed 1400 years ago know these facts on his own? 
We've to accept that it is possible only with the help of Someone Who is All-knowing, Who is the Creator of the Universe and that the Quran has been sent down by Him. If someone is still not willing to accept these facts then one must justify one's objection.
