Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1] Here are some examples from the 1000s of stunning Numerical and Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran. Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind: 1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of Noble Verses.2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples [1].Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles. |

The North and South Poles, and Prayer and Fasting Times:
The following article is from a post that I wrote on this website's blog at: https://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1379.msg5282.html#msg5282. The brother in the link quoted from a hateful anti-Islamic website towards both Islam and Muslims. Read more about its hateful owner. Also visit:
Summary of the lengthy
discussion below:
Question: We can, but the issue is, it appears as if we have to follow the prayer times AT mecca for the varying sunrises and sunsets of the worlds. Allah is the lord of the sunrises and sunsets of the worlds, but perhaps he made us pray at THE sunrise and sunset AT mecca.As'salamu Alaikum dear brother, Not Mecca's time. You follow the vertical time that you are on. And today, with simple Google search, you find exactly when Prayer and Fasting times occur. As to the Witness System, I already elaborated on it in great details above, akhi. We've seen above the Glorious Quran's Prophecy about man will eventually penetrate space. Today, man is speaking about colonizing planet Mars. Certainly, the Prayer and Fasting times there would have to be estimated based on what the population reckons the times to be. Think about it. Allah Almighty told us that we will penetrate space, and we will also see all of His Miracles that testify to the Truth of the Glorious Quran's Divine claims:
https://www.answering-christianity.com/sci_prophecy.htm Ok, so how will we then calculate/reckon Fasting and Praying on other planets? It will have to be done through reasonable calculations based on either the sunrises and sets of those planets, or by calculating and setting fixed times. Similarly, our North and South Poles' Prayer and Fasting time determination are done based on fixing certain times, usually based on the near by lands' sunrise and sunset cycles, and their vertical time zones. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commanded the Muslims to make an estimate about the time of Prayer if they're not sure: "...Thereupon he said, "No, but you must make an estimate of time and then offer Salat (Prayer).''..." (Source 1,2) I hope this helps, Insha'Allah.
Take care, |
Round 1: Question:
........ Answer: As'salamu Alaikum dear
brother, "...Thereupon he said, "No, but you must make an estimate of time and then offer Salat (Prayer).''..." (Source 1,2) This Hadith was given to me by brother Submit on this website's blog, may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.
Also, here are some Quran-Facts about this
topic:
Round 2: Question:
Thank you brother Osama :) But
there still is an issue: Answer:
As'salamu Alaikum dear brother, And again, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commanded the Muslims to make an estimate about the time of Prayer if they're not sure: "...Thereupon he said, "No, but you must make an estimate of time and then offer Salat (Prayer).''..." (Source 1,2)
Time on Earth is
determined vertically:
To those who believed that earth was flat, and had
one fixed point for sunrise and one fixed point for sunset,
this statement from Allah Almighty is a contradiction to their false
beliefs. Round 3: Question
Thank you brother Osama! Answer:
As'salamu Alaikum dear
brother Mclinkin94,
Advise to all Muslims: Round 4: Question: But,
this then leads to the initial problem that the Quran
did not state what to do when sunrise/sunset
lasts 6 months. In a sense, the skeptic could rightfully
argue that this implies that the author
was
unaware of such an event. Answer #1: As'salamu Alaikum dear
brother, Muslims today are indeed geographically in the Middle of the Earth! We are neither concentrated North nor South. We are concentrated in the Middle. Could this Noble Verse be also referring to the North and South Poles issues that you brought up? Only Allah Almighty Knows. But the Holy Quran is crystal clear about us being a NATION IN THE MIDDLE to be Witnesses on mankind. So could we apply this Noble Verse to the exceptional situations in the North and South Poles? I say yes. After all, the
Holy Quran is
a Scientific Miracle, and is Divine from Allah
Almighty. So this shouldn't be something odd or off.

To those who believed that earth was flat, and
had one fixed point for sunrise and one
fixed point for sunset, this statement from
Allah Almighty is a contradiction to their false beliefs.
Answer #2:
As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers
and sisters, Round 5: Question: ......Can you please explain more about this witness law? The Quranic verse says in "Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein" so it is referring to those who witnessed it. This somewhat alludes to the point that if you witness the month you fast and that those who haven't witnessed wouldn't fast...... Answer: As'salamu
Alaikum dear brother Mclinkin94, Again, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commanded the Muslims to make an estimate about the time of Prayer if they're not sure: "...Thereupon he said, "No, but you must make an estimate of time and then offer Salat (Prayer).''..." (Source 1,2)
I do agree with your response that the Quran has alluded to those phenomenon, but the skeptic's argument was not that the Quran was unaware of the North/South pole, it was that the Quran was unaware of the different sunrise and sunset times in those poles taking an entire months and therefore did not mention what to do if you are living in such an location. Answer:
Not true at all, akhi. The sun
and the moon rise and set every single day on the North and South
poles everyday in the year. The only difference is that the sky is
either always bright or always dark for months long. But you do
clearly see the sun and the moon (depending whether it is bright or
dark) rise and set every single day
as the Youtube links that I gave above clearly demonstrate.
So the same 24 hours that you and I pass through during our days and
nights, are the same 24 hours that they also pass through.
They do have AM and PM times. They do have
sun rises and sun sets, and moon rises and moon sets. They do have
cycles. Why not use those? After all, Allah Almighty is the
"LORD
of all of the SUNRISES and SUNSETS"
[1]
on earth, as He the Almighty Said in the Holy Quran,
as I've shown in the posts above. And if even if we didn't want
to use the sun and moon rises and sets in our current lands, we
could always revert back to using the nearest city's times, which
would be the same times as you'd be using if you were in either the
North or South Poles anyway.

Round 6: Question:
Asalumu Alaikum brother Osama.
Thank you very much for your responses! Answer: Wa Alaikum
As'salam dear brother Mclinkin94, Question: Moon rise and moon set wouldn't be considered a sunrise/sunset for 6 months as per Quran. It is not about whether you would be able to tell times at the poles :), we could already do that with our modern day time-keeping. Perhaps Allah knew that by going to the north/south pole and living there we would need technology to get there and having such technology would come with time-keeping and that Muslims could easily adapt by common sense therefore there is no reason to mention this in the Quran and confuse 7th century people about places where sunrise/sunset lasts 6 months. Plus this also serves as a test of faith for Muslims. Answer:
Have you read the new
points and the Noble Verse that I added to this reply: But with all of that aside, the issue is at the poles there aren't defined sunrises and sunsets or else you would be fasting for an entire 6 months or waiting 6 months to pray the Fajr prayer. A moon rise does not fit the definition of a Quranic sunrise Answer: I already
answered this above. OPEN CHALLENGE TO ALL: In other words, could not the humans there now figure out the proper
times for Fasting and Prayer on Mars using the day and night cycles
there, and to the best of their calculations and estimations? Did
not Allah Almighty also Say the following Noble Verses:
So if mankind creates colonies on Mars, then how would they determine the timings for Praying and Fasting? Allah Almighty answered it. He Said that He designed the phases of the sun and the moon for us to help us with our time and day calculations:
[010:005]
He is the One who
rendered the sun radiant, and the moon a light, and He designed its
phases that you may learn to count
the years and to calculate.
GOD did not create all this, except for a specific purpose. He
explains the revelations for people who know.
I would like to renew my reminder to you and to all of the Muslims:

We can, but the issue is, it appears as if we have to follow the prayer times AT mecca for the varying sunrises and sunsets of the worlds. Allah is the lord of the sunrises and sunsets of the worlds, but perhaps he made us pray at THE sunrise and sunset AT mecca.As'salamu Alaikum dear brother, Not Mecca's time.

Islam and the Noble Quran - Questions and Answers.
The sunrises and sunsets in the Glorious Quran.
Abstract:
The Glorious Quran is filled with
thousands
of Numerical and Scientific Miracles.
We have listed them
here.
So it should be of no surprise to anyone, at
all, to see the Glorious Quran's description
of the sun's rising and setting to be
scientifically accurate.
He saw the Aurora lights: Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was taken up to Heaven:
Narrated
Abdullah: "Regarding
the Verse: “Indeed he (Muhammad)
did see. Of
the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!”
(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the
horizon of the sky."
(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456) Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said this about his journey to the farthest northern lands and people: 18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر "Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
Prophet Muhammad "did see" (Quran 53.18) the Aurora Lights covering the horizons above the earth from space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and "Thus it was", Allah Almighty completed the "full knowledge" regarding Dhil-Qarnayn's mission. This further supports the story below about Dhil-Qarnayn's journey to the farthest northern lands and people (The sunsetless North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke unintelligibly, the Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil = One who has. Was Dhil Qarnayn an idol-worshiping pagan?
I believe Noble Verses 53:18 and 18:91 are prophetically linked together; that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين saw. Also visit: In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles: 1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here. Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file). Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.
The sunsetless North Pole Quran-Miracle: "Dhil Qarnayn" ذي القرنين in Noble Verse 18:83 means "one with the two horns". We read about his story in more details in Noble Verses 18:83-100: Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns.
"Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
They also spoke unintelligibly, the Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil = One who has. Was Dhil Qarnayn an idol-worshiping pagan?
Only said for the sun-up:
Allah Almighty did not say that He made
"no cover"
for them from it for the sunset. He
said it for the
sun-up only, which further proves
that indeed the sun being always up, in
Noble Verse
18:90
below, is referring to a geographical area
in the North, since so much geographical
proofs, and
1000-year old maps
below, also point to that location as well. "Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
"We made no cover...." was never mentioned for sunset. Only to "where the sun is up...." مطلع الشمس in Noble Verse 18:90, which further supports that "We made no cover...." is indeed talking about the Northern territories near the North Pole. See ample pictures of the sun never sets at the North Pole. See below. Remember that they are located near where the sun never sets. In the north, no shade was made from it for them. It is almost always shining on them: لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. "We made no cover for them from it" (18:90). In other words, it never sets. Night almost never comes:
Reached all the way north: Late Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, may Allah Almighty rest his soul and grant him Paradise, - Ameen, - gave old Islamic maps (video) that date 1000+ old that estimate that Dhil Qarnayn reached all the way north, near the North Pole, where the sun is always up, and reached the Black Sea for sunset, the body of water that is dark and murky. The Black Sea is also not very far from the northern parts of Russia and the North Pole:
"We made no cover...." was never mentioned for sunset. Only to "where the sun is up...." in Noble Verse 18:90, which further supports that "We made no cover...." is indeed talking about the Northern territories near the North Pole. See ample pictures of the sun never sets at the North Pole. They also almost spoke unintelligibly: "...people who almost spoke unintelligibly" (18:93) لايكادون يفقهون قولا. See the references below about the Vikings' language, and similar people of the North, when they were Barbarians. Historians precisely say they spoke unintelligibly [1]. In either case, the Glorious Quran is the Divine and Miraculous Book of Allah Almighty. The Holy Book is filled with thousands of Numerical and Scientific Miracles. We have listed them here. So it should be of no surprise to anyone, at all, to see the Glorious Quran's description of the sun's rising and setting to be scientifically accurate. At the top of the North Pole, the sun never sets, and shown in this video. I also quoted the scientific sources from Wikipedia. Also in the lands near by, the sun almost never sets either, and I quoted sources for that as well, and also showed pictures of the "polar night" skies on these lands. See ample pictures.
Never mentioned for Sunset: "Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
Reaching Gog and Magog: Allah Almighty in Noble Verses 18:83-100 mentioned three different geographic locations that Dhil Qarnayn marched to:
1-
The place where the sun never sets.
Regarding the two barriers and a tribe from Gog and Magog: [018:094] They said, `O Dhu'l Qarnain, verily, Gog and Magog are creating disorder in the earth; shall we then pay tribute on condition that thou set up a barrier between us and them ?' The following historical account seems to describe this event accurately: "The Gates of Alexander was a legendary barrier supposedly built by Alexander the Great in the Caucasus to keep the uncivilized barbarians of the north (typically associated with Gog and Magog [1]) from invading the land to the south. The gates were a popular subject in medieval travel literature, starting with the Alexander Romance in a version from perhaps the 6th century. The wall, also known as the Caspian Gates, has been identified with two locations: the Pass of Derbent, Russia or with the Pass of Dariel, west of the Caspian Sea. Tradition also connects it to the Great Wall of Gorgan (Red Snake) on its south-eastern shore. Historically, these fortifications were part of the defence lines built by Sasanians of Persia. The Great Wall of Gorgan may have been built by the Parthians. The name Caspian Gates originally applied to the narrow region at the southeast corner of the Caspian Sea, through which Alexander actually marched in the pursuit of Bessus, although he did not stop to fortify it. It was transferred to the passes through the Caucasus, on the other side of the Caspian, by the more fanciful historians of Alexander. Josephus, a Jewish historian in the 1st century, is known to have written of Alexander's gates, designed to be a barrier against the Scythians. According to this historian, the people whom the Greeks called Scythians were known (among the Jews) as Magogites, descendants of Magog in the Hebrew Bible. These references occur in two different works. The Jewish War states that the iron gates Alexander erected were controlled by the king of Hyrcania (on the south edge of the Caspian), and allowing passage of the gates to the Alans (whom Josephus considered a Scythic tribe) resulted in the sack of Media. Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews contains two relevant passages, one giving the ancestry of Scythians as descendants of Magog son of Japheth, and another that refers to the Caspian Gates being breached by Scythians allied to Tiberius during the Armenian War. [a][2]" (Source) References:

Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius 8; Alexander
Romance, epsilon recension 39. Historians and archeologists are now discovering that the ancient Vikings have discovered and reached vast lands on earth, including being the first to discover the lands of Canada and America. So there is so much that remains unknown about the Barbarians of the Vikings and other similar tribes from other nations. Again, visit:
Some of his stories: Keep in mind that Allah Almighty began Noble Verses 18:83-100 by saying that He will tell us some of the stories of Dhil Qarnayn. So there is a lot more to Dhil Qarnayn and his people than what is mentioned in the Noble Verses: ويسألونك عن ذي القرنين قل ساتلو عليكم منه ذكرا [018:083] They ask thee concerning Dhil Qarnayn. Say, "I will rehearse to you something of his story منه ذكرا."
Key Words: Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran, in Noble Verses 18:83-100, said the following key Words about Dhul or Dhil Qarnayn:
بلغ when used physically or geographically, it means reaching near the area/land, or in it. This is for Noble Verse 18:86. For example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
مطلع الشمس. Again, see ample pictures of the sun never sets at the North Pole. 18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر "Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)" مطلع الشمس where the sun is up. It does not mean sunrise. In Arabic, sunrise is مشرق الشمس, where مشرق is derived from شرق east. See ample examples from the Glorious Quran about sunrise and sunset. مغرب الشمس is sunset. مغرب is derived from غرب west. But here, Allah Almighty used مطلع الشمس , which literally here means where the sun is always up. مطلع is derived from طلع which means going up, which is why some Muslims a few centuries after Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, believed that Dhul Qarnyn reached up north, not east. Late Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, may Allah Almighty rest his soul, presented these maps.
See
ample examples from the Glorious Quran about
sunrise.
Also, let us look at Noble Word طلع in depth: طلع , which is what مطلع is derived from, means that something (the sun in our case here) appears from somewhere, such as from behind a big object, such as a chain of mountains or clouds, or when the sun is always up. For example: 97:2 وماادراك ماليلة القدر 97:3 ليلة القدر خير من الف شهر 97:4 تنزل الملائكة والروح فيها باذن ربهم من كل امر 97:5 سلام هي حتى مطلع الفجر
[097:001]
We have indeed
revealed this (Message) in the Night of
Power:
37:65
طلعها
كانه رؤوس الشياطين [037:055] He looked down فاطلع and saw him in the midst of the Fire. At the Day of Judgment, Allah Almighty will allow the Believers to look down, from above, and see the punishment of the infidels. فاطلع here means Allah Almighty will let the believers take a peak from above. 104:6 نار الله الموقدة 104:7 التي تطلع على الافئدة
[104:005]
And what will
explain to thee That which Breaks to
Pieces? 18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
[018:090]
Until, when he
came to the rising of
مطلع
the sun, he found it rising on
تطلع
a people for whom We had provided
no covering
ستر
against the sun.
"The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Around the summer solstice (approximately 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere and 22 December in the Southern Hemisphere), the sun is visible for the full 24 hours, given fair weather. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the closer towards either pole one goes. Although approximately defined by the polar circles, in practice the midnight sun can be seen as much as 55 miles (90 km) outside the polar circle, as described below, and the exact latitudes of the farthest reaches of midnight sun depend on topography and vary slightly year-to-year." (Source)
Polar Nights in lands near by the North Pole:
Again, Allah Almighty didn't say مشرق الشمس sunrise, which is the term that counters مغرب الشمس sunset. مغرب is derived from غرب west. No, instead, the Almighty used مطلع الشمس. The Noble Verses were talking about near by lands to the North Pole.
"...people who almost spoke unintelligibly" (18:93) لايكادون يفقهون قولا. This perfectly fits the Vikings when they were considered barbarians. They were brute, uncivilized, very primitive, disconnected from other civilizations, and didn't have a fully developed and intelligible language. In fact, the word itself, barbarian, originates from Greek, and it means one who speaks unintelligibly:
1-
"The word
barbarian
conjures up more forus than the original
Greek notion of
someone whose
unintelligible
non-Greek language sounds like “bar-
2- Also
from Indiana
University: "....And
finally, Maurice F. Hurley considers "Craft
and Handiwork: Wood, Antler and Bone as an
Everyday Material in
Viking-Age Waterford and
Cork," reminding us that most of the raw
materials for urban crafts came from the
surrounding hinterlands, even when these
were marked by disparate political
allegiances,
mutually
unintelligible languages
or sharp differences in ethnicity...."
(Source) 3-
"So what happened in the Northern Isles?
Dhil Qarnayn ذي القرنين (one with the double horns): Again, "Dhil Qarnayn" ذي القرنين in Noble Verse 18:83 means "one with the two horns". We read about his story in more details in Noble Verses 18:83-100: Dhul or Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. They also spoke unintelligibly, the Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil = One who has.
Only said for the sun-up: Allah Almighty did not say that He made "no cover" for them from it for the sunset. He said it for the sun-up only, which further proves that indeed the sun being always up, in Noble Verse 18:90 below, is referring to a geographical area in the North, since so much geographical proofs, and 1000-year old maps below, also point to that location as well. "Until he reached near حتى اذا بلغ where the sun is up مطلع الشمس, he found it above وجدها تطلع على people قوم whom We made no cover for them from it لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. (The Noble Quran, 18:90)" "We made no cover...." was never mentioned for sunset. Only to "where the sun is up...." مطلع الشمس in Noble Verse 18:90, which further supports that "We made no cover...." is indeed talking about the Northern territories near the North Pole. See ample pictures of the sun never sets at the North Pole. See below. Remember that they are located near where the sun never sets. In the north, no shade was made from it for them. It is almost always shining on them: لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر. "We made no cover for them from it" (18:90). In other words, it never sets. Night almost never comes:
The infidels' nonsense: So the sun sets inside a body of water? [1] And how exactly does it rise back up again according to the anti-Islamics?
Possible Geographical and Astronomical Significance: I also believe that since Allah Almighty speaks also in plural about the sunrise and sunset points of the sun on earth, then it is possible that Allah Almighty here referred to geographical locations that have astronomical alignment significance. The sun and the earth orbit each other in an S-shaped or number 8 orbit: This is also all demonstrated in good details in the following video file and articles:
www.answering-christianity.com/egg-shaped_earth.htm This is why the sun doesn't orbit around the earth in one straight line. This is due to earth's axle tilt and change of orbit. So the sunset and sunrise points (plural) in the Glorious Quran could be astronomical points. This might be similar to the location of Mecca, and the location of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, where Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was taken up to Heaven from that rock (before the Dome was built above it).
Consider the following moon's orbit Miracle
in the Glorious Quran. Notice below
"...until it ends up
looking like
حتى عاد...".
Where does it astronomically begin and end
up
عاد?
Again, Where does the moon astronomically begin and end? Read ample Noble Verses, analysis, quotations from scientific sources, and so much more in this article.
