Anticlockwise - The right path of nature | Sleemoot ------- MIS750 PROject

I have been wondering for quite a while, why clock turn clockwise? When searched on the internet, the simplest answer was that it has to do with the sundials, which were the first clocks, at least as they claimed to be.

In the northern hemisphere, the earth rotates counter-clockwise, which means that from our point of view the sun appears to move across the sky in a clockwise directon. Therefore, if you build a sundial to tell time, the shadows will move across it in a clockwise direction.

With mechanical clocks, one could of course make them go around either way, but the earliest ones were presumably designed to turn the same way as the shadows on a sundial do, simply because that is what people back then were used to.

What this means, by the way, is that if mechanical clocks had originated in the southern hemisphere, the ones we use today would probably go around in the other direction, that is what we call anti-clockwise nowadays.

Why do athletes have to race around the track in an anti-clockwise direction?

When the athlete runs, the Earth's spin, the direction of wind, the centripetal acceleration come into act. They directly contribute on the runner's speed, his heart iota to be exact, which is situated to the left, they are a contributing forces. Hence....

The Superior vena-cava collects de-oxygenated blood to the heart aided by heart suction. This vein carries blood from left to right. Centrifugal force due to anticlockwise running helps this suction. If we run clockwise, the centrifugal force impedes suction. That is why, in olden days, health officers ensured that all carnival merry-go-rounds were run only in the anti-clockwise direction. As the heart is on the left side, for humans and animals, running anticlockwise makes the centrifugal force in the body to act from left to right. Whereas it is from right to left for clockwise running. Racing tracks, animal shows in circuses, bullock-drawn pelt on wheels, all mostly have only left turns. Stairways in temple towers have only left turns for going up. Clockwise running tires people.

Tawaf rotation is the basis of nature

"And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon;

all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming"

[Surah Al Anbiya' verse 33]

The Quran verse above explains to us in a scientific viewpoint about the system of the universe, whereby all move on their respective orbit sand tracks. All the planets, moons and stars will not collide with one another as long as Allah wills it as such; these movements are those of Sunnatullah or the movement of the norms. The earth circles around the sun for a year in one direction, the moon circles around the earth for a month on one direction and all the planets in the universe circle the sun in one direction known as the Tawaf Movement (Anti-clockwise).

In actuality, the law of the movement of the universe or the law of rotation of Tawaf Movement does not only involve objects on space but it also involves Allah’s creatures as small as atom particles, which are only visible under the microscope. The electron in the atom also moves on its own axis then it spins around the atom nucleus following the Tawaf Movement. Concrete, fluid and also gas are all the products of thousands or even millions of combined atom particles, which further indicates that this law of Tawaf Movement is also applied to the vast majority of objects in this universe: planets, plants, moons on every planet, star, land, water and so on. The chair on which we are seated and the computer mouse, also carry atom particles.

Based on the 'Right Hand Rule' which widely used in the applications of Ampere's circuital law, an electric current passes through a solenoid, resulting in a magnetic field. When you wrap your right hand around the solenoid with your fingers in the direction of the conventional current, your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic north pole (Wikipedia).

The Right Hand Rule dictates that the magnetic field is indirectly able to produce this upward energy. There is a big possibility that this energy force is the one that causes one’s prayer in Masjidil Haram to be easily answered birthed from the frequent movements of Tawaf Movement performed there for centuries, which produces the energy or prayer waves that move in an upward direction.

Scientifically speaking, the Tawaf Movement produces the electromagnetic energy that goes upwards. If one wears a watch that rotates following the Tawaf Movement, automatically the person will feel the waves coming towards him or her every time he or she looks at the watch.

In reality, it is only Allah AlMighty who knows the real secret behind the circling of the movement. As Muslims, it is definitely not wrong for us to succumb and surrender to the norms of Allah (Fitrah) and His Prophet (Sunnatullah) as we know there must be a lot of good that can be derived from all His wondrous creations. Allah creates the smallest objects like the atoms to the all-enveloping galaxy, and with only one rotation and to only one direction, namely Tawaf Movement; at the same time, this indicates that it would then be inappropriate for us as the servants of Allah to be using watches that contrast with the Fitrah or Sunnatullah.

Let us transform ourselves, transform by using a Watch that is Islam-compliant, change the way we think, from the bad to good and from the world of darkness to blinding light. Wassalam.
Let's HIJRA.
