The Quran does not explicitly say that the Sun revolves around the earth. It says
that the Sun and the Moon move within defined orbits. However, their
revolutions have a profound reason in the Quran. It intends to guide people to
believe in God existance by deliberate thinking.

12/22/2018 (1) Why does the Quran say that the Sun revolves around the Earth? - Quora

There are certain reasons why the Quran refers to the Sun and the
1 Moon
Home Answer Spaces Notifications Search Quora Add Question or Link
orbiting. First, their revolutions are useful in calculating the number of years,
months, and days. As we all know, the moon orbits the earth in about 27.32 days
or one revolution every month. Muslim and Hebrow calendars are based on
lunar months. Also, the Moon moves with the Earth as a single system around
the Sun to make one year per cycle in 365.25 days. Second, their rotations has
been helpful to tell time based on sunlight effects on shadow for centuries.
Third, the Earth-Moon system is constantly spinning around the Sun that
causes day and night, warm and cold, awake and sleep, etc. Fourth, the
reflection of the Sunlight on the Moon surface can be seen from Earth
depending on its trajectory location. These realities and some others in the
Quran are attributed to God existance. How?

When the Quran says that (( َ‫ﺎر ۚ َو ُﻛﻞﱞ ﻓِﻲ ﻓَﻠَ ٍﻚ ﯾَ ْﺴﺒَﺤُﻮن‬ ُ ِ‫ك ْاﻟﻘَ َﻤ َﺮ َو َﻻ اﻟﻠﱠ ْﯿ ُﻞ َﺳﺎﺑ‬
ِ َ‫ﻖ اﻟﻨﱠﮭ‬ َ ‫َﻻ اﻟ ﱠﺸ ْﻤﺲُ ﯾَ ْﻨﺒَ ِﻐﻲ ﻟَﮭَﺎ أَ ْن ﺗُ ْﺪ ِر‬
23:40] “Neither can the sun overtake the moon, nor the night outpace the day:
Each of them keeps coursing in its orbit,” He meant that if the Sun the Earth and
the Moon come in a straight line, such as in lunar eclipse, you can see the day
light on the Earth side facing the Sun first, then, the night in the back side of the
Earth. This fascinating sequence cannot be created by itself. The Moon can be
seen in front of the Sun and is far from it. However, due to orbiting of the Moon
around the Earth, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth causing solar
eclypse. Still, the Moon comes in front of the Sun in such an arrangement that
cannot take place by itself. Therefore, such orderly plan require some thinking
which is beyond nature capability.

Another orbit-related example in the Quran is found in verse 40:37 ‫آﯾَﺔٌ ﻟَﮭُ ُﻢ اﻟﻠﱠ ْﯿ ُﻞ ﻧَ ْﺴﻠَ ُﺦ‬
ْ ‫( ; ِﻣ ْﻨﮫُ اﻟﻨﱠﮭَﺎ َر ﻓَﺈِ َذا ھُ ْﻢ ُﻣ‬And there is a sign in the night for them. We strip off the day
َ‫ﻈﻠِ ُﻤﻮن‬
from it and they are left in darkness). It intends to proof God existance by
explaining how the day can be stripped from the night to create the Sun? By
looking at the darkness in our Galaxy and the light that comes from the Sun, we
may ask about the origin of the light and how it emerges from the darkness.
Scientists have claimed that Hydrogen is fused into hellium to create the Sun.
As the Sun consumes the nuclear fuel of that reaction, its size is expected to
increase and its heat will become greater than human tolerance. Who tells the
Sun to stop or slow down its heat to an allowable level?

I have doubt that nature can measure human (including living species on the
Earth) heat resistance and has the ability to transmit this data to the Sun to
control its unacceptable burden level. I also have doubt that nature has the
ability to measure the revolution rate of the Moon and the Sun to count our
calendar. There should be a single supreme power that has created that
arrangement, the Sun, its heat, and has full knowledge of human tolerance.
That’s God Almighty.

In the 21st chapter of the Qur’an, Allah tells us the following

“And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all
[heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.” Qur’an (21.33)

He does not say that the Sun orbits around the earth, but He does say that it
orbits.

And yes, the Sun does orbit - in fact the entire solar system does (… “all
heavenly bodies in an orbit”…) at a speed of 828,000 km/hr around the milky
way galaxy.

The qur’an states in 2 different surat that the sun sets in a “muddy spring”;

“And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain (the “2 horned one”…who is in reality
Alexander the Great). 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.” (Qur’an 18:83-86)

So, of course you will always get the host of people who say, “Oh, that’s not what
it really says. You need to understand Arabic!” Well…let’s listen exactly what
Arabic-speaking scholars who understood the qur’an best have said in Tafsir,
specifically by Ibn Kathir ;

(Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun,) means, he followed a
route until he reached the furthest point that could be reached in the
direction of the sun's setting, which is the west of the earth. As for the idea
of his reaching the place in the sky where the sun sets, this is something
impossible, and the tales told by storytellers that he traveled so far to the
west that the sun set behind him are not true at all. Most of these stories
come from the myths of the People of the Book and the fabrications and
lies of their heretics.

So, check and mate. Ibn Kathir, one of the most respected quranic scholars who
ever lived says in the Tafsir that this verse means EXACTLY what it says, but that
mohammed is reciting a “myth” or “fabrication and lie”…only here he is blaming
the “people of the book” (Christians and jews) when the reality is NEITHER of
them believe this story to be true. It came from a popular legend of the time
about Alexander the Great…who has nothing to do with the bible. So, this is the
answer to the question; mohammed had no idea about the cosmos, the earth’s
orbit around the sun or even the shape of the planet…which he thought was flat.
This is why these passages exist in the qur’an; he was simply repeating what was

No it doesn't ! Infact , Prophet mentioned about this to his companions .

Prophet Muhammad: The sun is in constant orbit always rising on people


while setting on others.

‫ھﺬه اﻟﻤﻐﺎرب اﯾﻦ ﺗﻐﺮب ؟ وھﺬه اﻟﻤﻄﺎﻟﻊ اﯾﻦ ﺗﻄﻠﻊ ؟‬: ‫ﻋﻦ اﺑﻦ ﻋﺒﺎس رﺿﻲ ﷲ ﻋﻨﮭﻤﺎ ان رﺳﻮل ﷲ ﺻﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﯿﮫ وﺳﻠﻢ ﺳﺌﻞ‬

‫وﻗﻮم ﯾﻘﻮﻟﻮن طﻠﻌﺖ‬, ‫ﯾﻘﻮﻟﻮن ﻏﺮﺑﺖ‬

"Ibn Abbas narrated on Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that the
Prophet was asked: Where does the sun go after all of these sunsets? And
where does it come from after all of these sunrises? The Prophet, peace be upon
him, replied: It is in constant motion. It doesn't stop nor disappear. It sets on
people and rises on others, and it sets on people and rises on others. So people
would say it has risen while others say it has set."

Qur'an 33- It is He who created the night and the day,

and the sun, and the moon; all of them floating in an orbit.

(21- The Prophets, 33)

The above verse clearly talks about about Earth,Moon and Sun floating in an
orbit . All of them are mentioned separately.

A more easy verse to pick up would be :

Qur'an 39:5

"He has created the heavens and the earth with the truth; He makes the night
cover the day and makes the day overtake the night, and He has made the sun
and the moon subservient; each one runs on to an assigned term.

This verse of Surah Zumur also talks about Earth,Sun and moon and their
motion .

My personal favourite, where earth is mentioned alone. As we know we can't


observe the motion of earth as we are in inertial frame of reference and to even
say that all this that we are on (earth) is moving at such a speed would've been
ridiculed at the time of Prophet but but but the revelation was revealed.

Qur'an 27:88

You see the mountains, thinking them to be firmly fixed, but in reality, they
(are in constant motion) and pass by (with the movement of the earth) like
the passing of the clouds.

Hope this helps

The sun moves at a speed of 700,000 km/h in the direction of the star Vega,
following its orbital path referred to as the Solar Apex. The earth rotates around
its own axis while revolving about the sun, moving along with the Solar System.
it is the latest discovery of established science in couple of years earlier

Quran is not science, history, embryology, and/or law book, its a life guidance.. a

rom Surah Al-Anbiya, Ch. No. 21, V. No. 33… (Arabic)…. That it is Allah, who
has created the nights and the day…. (Arabic)…. each one travelling in a
orbit, with its own motion. It says that… The sun and the moon is travelling in
a orbit… orbit means revolving – with its own motion means… rotating.
‘Yasbahun’ is an Arabic word, describing the motion of a moving body for a
celestial body. It is rotating… it revolving and rotating. No where does the
Qur’an say that… The sun and moon revolves, around the earth. Today the
science has advanced – that is on old theory, which has been proved wrong.
Today science tells us that… The sun solar system… of the solar system – sun is
the centre. The planets Mercury, Earth, Venus – all one revolving. But the solar
system on its own – the solar system is also revolving round, in the galaxy. If you
know brother, that is the latest theory… That even the solar system is revolving
around a point in the galaxy, and even the galaxy is revolving point in the
universe. So the Qur’an does not say, that the sun and moon is revolving round
the sun – which Taslema Nasreen has misinterpreted. She says that… The
Qur’an says that the sun, revolves round the earth. There is not a single
statement – that is a misinterpretation. The Qur’an says that… The sun and
moon, revolve and rotate. It doesn’t say… Around the earth – That is she is
adding the own. Previously, when I was in school, I was thought that the sun
revolves… it does not rotate – it was stationery. Today, with the help of an
equipment, you can have the image of the sun, on the table top. Since we can
look at the sun directly, you can have the image of the sun, on the table top –
And we have come to know, that the sun has got black spots. And it takes
approximately 25 days for these black spots, to complete one rotation –
indicating, the sun takes 25 days to complete one rotation. So what science
tells… proves today, in school I didn’t knew this. What science has proved
today… that the sun rotates and revolves. Qur’an has mentioned this, 1400 years
ago.There is not a single statement in the Holy Qur’an, which goes against
established science. There may be theories which go against the Qur’an -
Theories like Darwins Theory, which has been proved wrong. But theories… Not
a single scientific fact, which has been established, which goes against a single
Verse of the Holy Qur’an. Hope that satisfies for brother.

According to following ayah:

The Islamophobes often present this ayah to proof the sun revolves around the
earth. They should know that this ayah proof two scientific claims. One claim is
old and another one was proved just recently in year 2015. These are:

1. Sun is orbiting on its own orbit around the galaxy. Which science
discovered quite recently.

2. Earth is floating/swimming. Science just proved it in year 2015/2016


that all the celestial bodies in the universe are floating/swimming on

Earth is revolving around Sun on yearly basis and speed at arc is 67,000 mph.
Solar system is revolving around galactic center with speed 514,000 mph. . . .

In short, the Quran says this, “The sun and the moon move in their respective
orbits”.

This doesn’t imply that they orbit around each other.

It is interpreted as, they both have their set paths along which they move. So the
moon goes around the earth (its orbit) and the sun (and by extension our whole
solar system) moves around the center of the milky way (its own orbit).

Similarly, in the context of saying “the sun rises from the east” (Quran 2:258), or
“the sun set into the water”(more or less, in Surah Kahf), it is agreed upon that
this is common language like we say sunrise (even though the sun never rises,
the earth is rotating around it), and sunset (same logic).

courses. And for you He subjected the night and the day."

sura 10, verse 5:


"God is the One Who made the sun a shining glory and the moon a light and
for her ordained mansions, so that you might know the number of years and
the reckoning (of the time). God created this in truth

He created the heavens and the Earth with truth. He wraps the night around
the day and wraps the day around the night, and has made the Sun and Moon
subservient, each one running for a specified term. Is He not indeed the
Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving? ( Surat az-Zumar, 5)

And the Sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the
All-Knowing. And We have decreed set phases for the Moon, until it ends up
looking like an old palm spathe. It is not for the Sun to overtake the Moon nor
for the night to outstrip the day; each one is swimming in a sphere. (Surah Ya
Sin, 38-40)

Answered May 3

The Koran says the Sun and Moon orbit, the most obvious meaning is that they
move in the sky. Some Muslims claim that it means the sun moves through the
Milky Way - bit it is just another modern reinterpretation to shoehorn Koranic
verses into modern science. This is a modern phenomena and heavily touted by
one Yahya Harun.

Quote: From Answering Islam

Harun Yahya’s amazing ability to cross-breed recently discovered scientific


facts with Qur’an verses results in deformed knowledge that is neither Islamic
nor scientific per se.

It is all a very desperate attempt to “prove” the Koran is from God because it
contains miraculous scientific facts.

DR. MUSTAFA KHATTAB, THE CLEAR QURAN

He has ˹also˺ subjected for you the sun and the moon, both constantly
orbiting, and has subjected the day and night for you.

Here the orbiting, sun, moon and day and night all tell us that the sun and moon
orbit the earth to give us night and day.

orbiting, and has subjected the day and night for you

Putting my credentials first, as Quora won't accept any of my credentials:

"I am a practicing Muslim"

“I am a mainstream muslim”

"Thoroughly annoyed with the new credential system since 2017"

"Credentialless since losing to the despotic bot (2017)"

———————————————————————————————————

I’m going to quote something I learnt from an extremely wise lovely old lady:

“Don’t ask why until you have answered whether.”

you can’t just ask this question without providing the verse from Quran that
states what you are claiming.

Also, there is no such thing in Quran that says the sun revolves around earth and
if there is; please provide it.

NJ Dawood translation has not this misunderstanding: each moves swiftly in an


orbit of its own.

Even in the name, just as Muhammad has a meaning, even so Dawood, as you
will come to find it relays the best perceptions of the 114 sure ofs, which Mu -
Ham - Mad put forth as an answer to the 114 sayings as recorded in The Gospel of
Thomas.

Koran 2:89 among the dozen or so places wherein Muhammad explains of the
earlier confirming scripture, and those who prefer the error, refusing the
revelation of origin and order.

Read the Quran in its entirety realizing the WE as the mind (ham) and soul
(mad) arguing with the heart, it truly is of the inner human.

For lo the kingdom of God is within you.
