Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: {And the sun runs to its appointed place...}

He also asks about the exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Yasin:38-40].
Answer: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interpreted the beginning of this noble verse, which is the statement of the Exalted and Majestic is He: . The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned this to Abu Dharr, saying: . Abu Dharr said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: . The prostration of Allah is known by Him as to its manner, (Glorified and Exalted is He). All these created things prostrate to Allah and glorify Him, (Exalted and Majestic is He), with a glorification and prostration that He knows, (Glorified and Exalted is He), even though we do not know it or understand it, as He said, (peace and blessings be upon him): : . And He, (Glorified and Exalted is He), said: , the verse.
This prostration is fitting for them, and their Lord knows it and knows its manner, (Glorified and Exalted is He). So they move as Allah has commanded them, rising from the east and setting in the west until this world ends. When this world ends, they will be rolled up, as He, (Glorified and Exalted is He), said: . They will be rolled up, their light will disappear, and they will be cast into Hellfire, along with the moon; because the need for them has ceased with the departure of this worldly life.
The point is that it runs to its appointed place, going and returning. Its appointed place is its prostration under the Throne in its movement, rising and setting. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. It is He who decreed this, Glorified and Exalted is He, the Almighty, the Invincible, the One whose rank is supreme, the Prevailing over all things, the All-Knowing of the conditions of His creation, Glorified and Exalted is He.
[Yasin:39]. Allah has appointed stations for the moon, just as the sun has stations. Every night it has a station, and they are twenty-eight stations. They are called twenty-eight *nujum* (stars), meaning a star that descends to them every night. The twenty-ninth night is the night of diminishment; and the thirtieth night is likewise if the moon does not appear. It may appear on the thirtieth, making the month short, or the month may be completed so that it does not appear until the thirty-first night. When it is at the end of the month, its light weakens and it becomes like an old palm fiber at the end of the thing. The *arjun* is the fiber that is in the stalk of the date palm, which bends and becomes like an old palm fiber, meaning bent and weak, its light weak. Its light may disappear completely at the end of the month so that no light remains for it, and only the image of its creation remains. This is among the signs of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
[Yasin:40]. When it was mentioned that the moon has appointed stations, and likewise the sun runs to its appointed place; it was mentioned that the night and the day are running, meaning as Allah commanded, and the sun and the moon are running as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, commanded. So the sun does not overtake the moon, and the moon likewise [Yasin:40], meaning: each of these creatures has a measure by the permission of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, that it does not exceed, it does not exceed it ever, rather in its movement it moves with precise movement; and so the moon, and so the night and the day. So the sun does not come out in the dominion of the moon, nor does it take the light of the moon, and the moon likewise does not take its light, nor does it rise in its dominion. Each has its time and each has its dominion. So the sun’s dominion is in the day, and the moon’s dominion is in the night. meaning: it surrounds it and prevails over it and takes its light; it has no dominion in this, so its dominion is in the day, and the moon likewise does not take its light. It has its dominion and it has its dominion. Each is in an orbit in which it swims. Each is in its orbit which Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has appointed for it. And so the night and the day. This comes in its time with its darkness, and the day comes in its time with its light. This does not precede this, nor this precede this. Each of them has a measured movement that does not increase over it or decrease from it except by the permission of Allah. Sometimes the night increases and the day decreases, and sometimes the opposite, they exchange in a period of twenty-four hours. This decreases sometimes and the other increases sometimes, then the opposite comes and this decreases and this increases; for this reason He says, Exalted and Majestic: [Yasin:38-40]. Yes.
