Question:
Finally, this questioner inquires about the noble verse[Ya-Sin 36:38].
Answer:
The verse is clear that the sun is not stationary, but rather it runs to its appointed place, and in one reading it is "no appointed place for it," so it runs, it rises and it sets, it rises over some people and sets for others, and this is its nature. It is a great sign with many benefits for the servants, for the animals, and for the plants. Yes.
