How is that possible, when the sun rises in one place and it is night in another?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This sun, for example, if it returns for some people, twelve, for example, half the night, every sun returns when...
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a strange issue, a strange issue, and it is not established. For example, if it sets for us here in Saudi Arabia, does that mean it wants to rise for them in America? It revolves and returns to them.
The questioner : This sun revolves.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, it revolves in the opposite direction so that it rises for these people.
The questioner : Meaning, the Hour does not occur in one hour.
The Shaykh : No, no, its meaning is that the Hour occurs when the sun rises from its west. It occurs a second time, meaning after a period, when the sun rises from its west. If it rises from its west for all creation, it is not known whether it will return to the first course or continue. Allah the Exalted knows best. I have no knowledge of this.
