Question:
This questioner, who used the code name Fahd Abdullah from the Yemeni Republic, says in this question: Your Eminence! My question is: Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) says in His Noble Book in Surat Yasin: [Yasin:38] What is the intended meaning of this Noble verse? And what is the appointed place of the sun? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance.
As for what follows: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained this appointed place, and he said to Abu Dharr: I said: No. He said: When it aligns with the Throne, it prostrates in a prostration befitting it. Allah is the One who knows about it, Glorified is He, and how it is.
[Yasin:38] This means: When it aligns with the Throne, it prostrates in a prostration befitting it, and no one knows it except Allah He is the One who knows how it is. Then it continues; permission is given to it, so it continues until it rises from its rising point. When the end of time comes, it is said to it: Return from where you came; so it returns, and it rises from its setting point.
So the appointed place is its alignment with the Throne. When it aligns with the Throne in the middle of its journey, it prostrates. Then it continues after permission is given to it to proceed, so it rises from its rising point. And when Allah wills for it to rise from the west, it is said to it: Return from where you came, so it rises from its setting point at the end of time. And that is among the signs of the Hour. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

Do you know what its appointed place is, O Abu Dharr?

مستقرها سجودها تحت العرشruns [on course] toward its stopping point
تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَاSo the appointed place is its alignment with the Throne. When it aligns with the Throne in the middle of its journey, it prostrates.
