Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In the noble verse, he asks about this verse:[Ya-Sin 36:38] Does the sun revolve around the earth?
Answer:
Without a doubt, this is what the Qur'an indicates. The sun moves, but they say the sun is stationary and the earth is the one that moves. This is the opposite of what came in the Qur'an. And Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:258] So for us to leave what the Qur'an indicates and take the modern theories, this is not from a Muslim.
It is obligatory for the Muslim to follow the Qur'an. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-Kahf 18:51] Yes.
May Allah reward you. In the noble verse, he asks about this verse:
And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِAnswer:
Without a doubt, this is what the Qur'an indicates. The sun moves, but they say the sun is stationary and the earth is the one that moves. This is the opposite of what came in the Qur'an. And Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said:
Abraham said, "Indeed, Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment]
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَIt is obligatory for the Muslim to follow the Qur'an. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.
مَّا أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا
