THE SUN. “Is the Earth Bigger than the Sun?”. Nope, the Sun is much, much bigger than the Earth. From here on Earth, the Sun looks smaller than the Earth, but that’s only because you’re much closer to the Earth than the Sun. You’re standing on the surface of the Earth, while the Sun is 150 million km away. But if you could get far enough away that both the Earth and the Sun are the same distance, you’d see the real size difference. The diameter of the Sun is 1,390,000 km. Just for comparison, the diameter of the Earth is only 12,742 km. This means that you could put 109 Earths side-by-side to match the diameter of the Sun. And if you wanted to try and fill up the Sun with Earths, it would take 1.3 million Earths to match the volume of the Sun. The Sun is the largest, most massive object in the Solar System by far. It accounts for 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System, with most of the remaining mass taken up by Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the Solar System. You might be surprised to know that there are many stars which are much larger than the Sun. The red supergiant star Betelgeuse, in the constellation of Orion, is thought to be 300-500 times larger than the Sun. And the largest known star, VY Canis Majoris, it believed to be 1800-2100 times larger than the Sun; at the very theoretical limit of star sizes. Quran in many places states that the sun, moon and stars are traveling on set courses: Have you not considered him (Namrud) who disputed with Ibrahim about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom? When Ibrahim said: My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun TO RISE FROM THE EAST, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people. S. 2:258 Shakir ALLAH is HE Who raised up the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then HE settled HIMSELF on the Throne. And HE pressed the sun and the moon into your service; each planet pursues its course until an appointed term . HE regulates all affairs and HE clearly explains the Signs that you may have firm belief in the meeting with your Lord. S. 13:2 Sher Ali And He has made subservient to you the sun and the moon pursuing their courses, and He has made subservient to you the night and the day. S. 14:33 Shakir And thou couldst see the sun, AS IT ROSE, move away from their Cave on the right, AND WHEN IT SET, turn away from them on the left ; and they were in a spacious hollow thereof. This is among the Signs of ALLAH. He whom ALLAH guides is alone rightly guided; but he whom HE leaves to go astray, for him thou wilt find no helper or guide. S. 18:17 Bear patiently then what they say, and glorify thy Lord with HIS praise before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and glorify HIM in the hours of the night and all parts of the day, that thou mayest find true happiness. S. 20:130 Sher Ali And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit. S. 21:33 Pickthall And the sun runneth on unto a resting- place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit. S. 36:38-40 Pickthall He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again? S. 39:5 Y. Ali When we look at all these verses collectively, it becomes quite evident that the author of the Quran literally believed that the sun and the moon rose and set as they traveled on their ordained courses. THE QURAN IS CLEAR. Thus doth God MAKE CLEAR His Signs to you: In order that ye may understand. S. 2:242 Y. Ali Alif Lam Ra. A Book whose verses ARE SET CLEAR (ohkimat), and then distinguished, from One All-wise, All-aware: S. 11:1 Arberry A. L. R. These are the Ayats of Revelation, - of a Quran that makes things clear. S. 15:1 Y. Ali And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: It is only a human being who teaches him (Muhammad). The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Quran) is a clear Arabic tongue. S. 16:103 Hilali-Khan We verily, have made it a Quran in Arabic, that you may be able to understand (its meanings and its admonitions). S. 43:3 Hilali-Khan Mecca By the manifest Book (this Quran) THAT MAKES THINGS CLEAR, S. 44:2 Hilali-Khan – cf. Q. 2:187, 219, 242, 266; 3:103, 118; 4:26, 176; 5:89; 24:18, 58-59, 61; 57:17 Hadith in Musnad Ahmad where Muhammad is reported to have said that the sun actually descends into hell! Yazeed bin Harun narrated to us, from al- Awam, from a slave of Abdullah ibn Amru, from Abdullah bin al-Aas who said: “The messenger of Allah saw the sun when it went down and said (it went) into Allah’s hell fire. If it was not for the order intended for it (the sun) by Allah, it would have destroyed all that is on the earth.” (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 6895) Qur’an 18:83-86—And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say: “I shall recite to you something of his story.” Verily, We established him in the earth, and We gave him the means of everything. So he followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water. And he found near it a people. Sunan Abu Dawud 3991—Abu Dharr said: I was sitting behind the Apostle of Allah who was riding a donkey while the sun was setting. He asked: Do you know where this sets? I replied: Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It sets in a spring of warm water. MY COMMENT If we accept the view that Alexander the Great is Dhul Qarnayn, you come up with two more problems: 1. Alexander was a pagan, not a believing monotheist. 2. He could not have reached the place where the sun sets because we know from secular history that he expanded his empire eastward, not westward. Narrated Abu Dharr: The Prophet asked me at sunset, Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)? I replied, Allah and His Messenger know better. He said, It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: And the sun is quickly proceeding towards its destination. That is the designing of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing. (36.38) (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Hadith 421) In a narration, again from Sayyidina Abu Dharr, there appear the additional words to the effect: “I asked the Prophet about the Statement of Allah: -- ‘And the sun is quickly proceeding towards its destination. That is the designing of the All-Mighty, the All- Knowing (36.38) He said, ‘Its course is underneath Allahs Throne.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Hadith 327) ALLAHS THRONE IS IN HELL... Thats may be the reasons why Allah sworn by the SUN.. I swear by the sun and its brilliance, Quran 91:1 He who swears by anyone but Allah is polytheist. Abu Dawud 21:3245 THINK, ALLAH SWORN BY AN OBJECT....
