of the sun's rising and setting to be
scientifically accurate.
He
saw the Aurora lights:
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the
aurora lights covering the
horizons of space above the earth when he
was taken up to Heaven:
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].
- The
sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91
are also prophetically linked together;
that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين
saw. Also visit:
-
The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran
predicts 11 planets in our
solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error.

"Dhil Qarnayn"
ذي
القرنين
in Noble Verse
18:83
means
"one
with
the two horns".
We read about his story in
more
details in Noble
Verses
18:83-100:
Dhil = One who has.
قرنين
Qarnayn =

(The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
They also spoke
unintelligibly,
the Quran says. They hardly spoke
intelligibly
(18:93).
Historians have proven that the Barbarians
of the North used to speak
unintelligibly. The
description of the people of the North,
whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see
ample pictures), perfectly fits the
Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian
and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Allah Almighty did not say that He made
"no cover"
for them from it for the sunset. He
said it for the
sun-up only, which further proves
that indeed the sun being always up, in
Noble Verse
18:90

In either case, the Glorious

thousands
of Numerical and Scientific Miracles.

So it should be of no surprise to anyone, at
all, to see the Glorious Quran's description
of the sun's rising and setting to be
scientifically accurate.
At the top of the North Pole,
the sun never sets, and
shown in

Reaching Gog and Magog:
Allah
Almighty in Noble Verses
18:83-100
mentioned three different geographic
locations that Dhil Qarnayn marched to:
1-
The place where the sun never sets.
2-
The two barriers and a tribe from Gog and
Magog.
3-
The murky body of water that resembles
an
eye.
Dr. Zaghloul Al-Najjar
talks about the muddy pool of water that
also happens to look like an eye.
This is a picture
of the Issyk Kul lake in Kyrgyzstan.
It has muddy waters, and it looks like
and eye
as Allah
Almighty in the Glorious Quran
described. And Allah
Almighty always Knows Best. And
again,
عين
means both an
eye and a body of water in Arabic.
بلغ
when used physically or geographically, it
means reaching near the area/land, or in it.
This is for Noble Verse
18:86. For example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010]
When they came
upon you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached
(بلغت
balaghat) to
the
throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
Let us now look at the top
candidates for the body of water
in Noble Verse
18:86:
1- Lake Issk Kul:
عين حمئة
AYN HAME'AH
in Noble Verse
18:86
means Murky and/or muddy water [1]
[2]
[3].
Some Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") read it as AYN
HAAMIYAH
عين حامية,
which means hot water [1].
This is based on Ibn Masood and
Ibn Al-Zubayr's reading.
See below.
Interestingly, lake Issyk Kul,
for example, which is shaped like an eye, and
is murky and muddy, is
also nicknamed the "hot
lake" because it
never freezes:
""Issyk-Kul"
means "hot
lake" in Kyrgyz,
as it never freezes." (Source)
"Issyk Kul
lake is the second-largest
alpine lake in the world....and
though temperatures do dip
significanty in the winter, the
lake never freezes. The reason
for this is its high salt
content, which has also endowed
it with its name, which
translates to ‘hot
lake’." (Source,
2)
"About 118
rivers and streams flow into the
lake; the largest are the
Djyrgalan and Tyup. It is fed by
springs, including
many hot springs,
and snow melt. The lake has no
current outlet, but some
hydrologists hypothesize[7] that
the lake's water filters deep
underground into the Chu River.
The bottom of the lake contains
the mineral monohydrocalcite:
one of the few known lacustrine
deposits." (Source)
حمئة
is murky and/or muddy [1]
[2]
[3].
"وجَدها تَغْرُب في عَيْنٍ حَمِئةٍ،
وقرأَ ابن مسعود وابن الزبير:
حاميةٍ",
translates as
"He found
it setting in a body of water
that is HAME'AH
حمئة, is read by Ibn Masood and
Ibn Al-Zubayr as: HAAMIYAH
حاميةٍ"
Why
حمئة
and not
حاميةٍ:
The
hotness of the lake here is
symbolic, which is perhaps why
Allah Almighty chose
حمئةand not
حامية,
which the latter literally means
"hot". So
حمئةis symbolically hot, and it
is actually murky and/or muddy.
And Allah Almighty always Knows
Best.
Lake Issyk Kul here gives us a
beautiful natural description on
what the body of water that Dhil
Qarnayn
ذي
القرنين
and his army reached was like.
It could very well be indeed
lake Issyk Kul itself. Or
it could be a similar body of
water with similar features.
Only Allah Almighty Knows.

The Black Sea:
Late Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, may Allah
Almighty rest his soul and grant him
Paradise, - Ameen, -

*** Thousands of Miracles:
In either case or in any case
regarding Noble Verse
18:86's
body of water, the Glorious
Quran is the Divine and
Miraculous Book of Allah
Almighty. The Holy Book is filled with
thousands
of Numerical and Scientific Miracles.
We have listed them
here.
So it should be of no surprise to anyone, at
all, to see the Glorious Quran's description
of the sun's rising and setting to be
scientifically accurate, and very beautiful.
Regarding
the two barriers and a tribe from Gog and Magog:
[018:094] They
said, `O Dhu'l Qarnain, verily, Gog
and Magog are creating
disorder in the earth; shall we then pay
tribute on condition that thou set up a
barrier between us and them ?'
The
following historical account seems to
describe this event accurately:
"The Gates of
Alexander was a
legendary barrier
supposedly built by Alexander the Great in
the Caucasus to keep the
uncivilized barbarians of the north
(typically associated with Gog and Magog
[1]) from invading the land to the south.
The gates were a popular subject in medieval
travel literature, starting with the
Alexander Romance in a version from perhaps
the 6th century.
The wall, also known
as the
Caspian Gates, has been
identified with two locations: the Pass of
Derbent, Russia or with the Pass of Dariel,
west of the Caspian Sea. Tradition also
connects it to the Great Wall of Gorgan (Red
Snake) on its south-eastern shore.
Historically, these
fortifications were part of the defence
lines built by Sasanians of Persia.
The Great Wall of Gorgan
may have been built by the Parthians.
The name Caspian Gatesoriginally applied to the narrow region
at the southeast corner of the Caspian Sea,
through which Alexander actually marched in
the pursuit of Bessus, although he did not
stop to fortify it. It was transferred to
the passes through the Caucasus, on the
other side of the Caspian, by the more
fanciful historians of Alexander.
Josephus, a Jewish
historian in the 1st century, is known to
have written of Alexander's gates,
designed to be a barrier against the
Scythians. According to this historian,
the people whom the Greeks called Scythians
were known (among the Jews) as
Magogites, descendants of Magog
in the Hebrew Bible. These references occur
in two different works. The Jewish War
states that the
iron gates Alexander
erected were controlled by the king of
Hyrcania (on the south edge of the Caspian),
and allowing passage of the gates to the
Alans (whom Josephus considered a Scythic
tribe) resulted in the sack of Media.
Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews contains
two relevant passages, one giving the
ancestry of Scythians as descendants of
Magog son of Japheth, and another that
refers to the Caspian Gates being breached
by Scythians allied to Tiberius during the
Armenian War. [a][2]" (Source)

Canada and America.
So there is so much that remains unknown
about the Barbarians of the Vikings and
other similar tribes from other nations.

Some of his stories:
Keep
in mind that Allah Almighty began Noble
Verses
18:83-100 by saying that He will tell
us
some of the stories of Dhil
Qarnayn. So there is a lot more to
Dhil Qarnayn and his people than what is
mentioned in the Noble Verses:
ويسألونك عن ذي القرنين قل
ساتلو عليكم
منه ذكرا
[018:083] They
ask thee concerning Dhil Qarnayn. Say, "I
will rehearse to you something of his
story
منه ذكرا."
Key Words:
Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran,
in Noble Verses
18:83-100, said
the following key Words about Dhul or Dhil Qarnayn:
بلغ
مطلع الشمس
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
مغرب الشمس
وجدها تغرب في عين حمئة
بلغ
when used physically or geographically, it
means reaching near the area/land, or in it.
This is for Noble Verse 18:86.
For example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010]
When they came
upon you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached
(بلغت
balaghat) to
the
throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
مطلع الشمس.
Again, see
ample pictures
of the sun never sets at the North Pole.
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم لم
نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغwhere the sun is up
مطلع
الشمس,
he found it aboveوجدها تطلع على
people
قوم
whom We
made no cover for them from it
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر.
(The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
مطلع الشمس
where the
sun is up. It does not mean sunrise.
In Arabic, sunrise is
مشرق
الشمس,
where
مشرق
is derived from
شرق
east.
See ample examples from the Glorious Quran about
sunrise
and
sunset.
مغرب
الشمس is sunset.
مغرب
is derived from
غرب
west. But here, Allah Almighty used
مطلع الشمس
, which literally here means where the
sun is always up.
مطلع
is derived from
طلع
which means going up, which is why some
Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") a few centuries after Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, believed that
Dhul Qarnyn reached up north, not east.
Late Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, may Allah Almighty
rest his soul,
presented these maps.
طلع
, which is what مطلع
is derived from, means that something (the
sun in our case here)
appears from somewhere, such as from
behind a big object, such as a chain of
mountains or clouds, or when the sun is
always up. For example:
The sun
never sets
at the North Pole:
"The midnight
sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in
the summer months in places north of the
Arctic Circle or south of
the Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains
visible at the local midnight. Around
the summer solstice (approximately 21 June
in the Northern Hemisphere and 22 December
in the Southern Hemisphere), the sun is
visible for the
full 24 hours, given fair
weather. The number of days per year with
potential midnight sun increases
the closer towards either pole one goes.
Although approximately defined by the polar
circles, in practice the midnight sun can be
seen as much as 55 miles (90 km) outside the
polar circle, as described below, and the
exact latitudes of the farthest reaches of
midnight sun depend on topography and vary
slightly year-to-year."
(Source)
"While the Sun doesn't rise above
the horizon, it does come close to
doing so. Instead of the pitch black
many imagine it to be like,
you get a blue light
much of the time during the days of
the polar night."
(Sources:
1,
2)
"Polar
night on Nordkinn
Peninsula in
Norway,
mainland Europe's northernmost
peninsula."
(Sources:

Polar Night at Russia:
"Polar night in Naryan-Mar,
Russia.
December 23, 2014, 11:27 (noon)"
(Sources:
1,
2)
Again,
Allah Almighty didn't say
مشرق
الشمس
sunrise,
which is the term that counters
مغرب
الشمس
sunset.
مغرب
is derived from
غرب
west. No, instead, the Almighty used
مطلع الشمس. The Noble Verses
were talking about near by lands to the
North Pole. Again, even early Muslims interpreted the Noble Verse to refer
to the people of the farthest norths of the earth:
They almost spoke
unintelligibly:
"...people who almost spoke unintelligibly"
(18:93)
لايكادون يفقهون قولا.
This
perfectly fits the Vikings, Icelandics and
others when they were
considered
barbarians. They were
brute, uncivilized, very primitive, disconnected from other civilizations, and
didn't have a fully developed and
intelligible language. In fact, the
word itself, barbarian, originates from
Greek, and it means one who
speaks unintelligibly:
1-
"The word
barbarian
conjures up more forus than the original
Greek notion of
someone whose
unintelligible
non-Greek language sounds like “bar-bar-bar..."
(Source)
2- Also
from Indiana
University: "....And
finally, Maurice F. Hurley considers "Craft
and Handiwork: Wood, Antler and Bone as an
Everyday Material in
Viking-Age Waterford and
Cork," reminding us that most of the raw
materials for urban crafts came from the
surrounding hinterlands, even when these
were marked by disparate political
allegiances,
mutually
unintelligible languages
or sharp differences in ethnicity...."
(Source)

"So what happened in the Northern Isles?
I don’t think that the Picts were ‘absorbed’
in Viking Shetland, or
Viking Orkney, ...... I don’t think
the Picts were just ‘overwhelmed’, or
‘submerged’, as Wainwright put it, while
continuing to practise their religion and speak an unintelligible language at
home."

Dhil Qarnayn
ذي
القرنين
(one
with
the
double horns):
Again,
"Dhil Qarnayn"
ذي
القرنين
in Noble Verse
18:83
means
"one
with
the two horns".
We read about his story in
more
details in Noble
Verses
18:83-100:
They also spoke
unintelligibly,
the Quran says. They hardly spoke
intelligibly
(18:93).
Historians have proven that the Barbarians
of the North used to speak
unintelligibly. The
description of the people of the North,
whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see
ample pictures), perfectly fits the
Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian
and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Only said for
the
sun-up:
Allah Almighty did not say that He made
"no cover"
for them from it for the sunset. He
said it for the
sun-up only, which further proves
that indeed the sun being always up, in
Noble Verse
18:90
below, is referring to a geographical area
in the North, since so much geographical
proofs, and
1000-year old maps
below, also point to that location as well.
"Until he reached near

Remember that they are located near where the
sun never sets.
In the north, no shade was made from it for
them. It is almost always shining on
them:
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر.
"We made no cover for
them from it"
(18:90). In other words,
it
never sets.
Night almost never comes:
So the
sun sets inside a body of water? [1] And
how exactly does it rise back up again
according to the anti-Islamics?
First of all, the Arabic Quran doesn't
have the word PLACE (MAKAAN) in the
Noble Verse. Anti-Islamics such as
David Wood deliberately use a wrong
translation to prove their falsehood.
BALAGHA (reached) is used for time and
place approximation and estimation. ADRAKA would've been literal, and that's
not in the Noble Verses. Again,
for example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010]
When they came
upon you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached
(بلغت
balaghat) to
the
throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
The hearts didn't literally reach
the throats.
Ample more Noble Verses on
BALAGHA are listed
in this article.
MAGHREB (sunset)
is also used for time
and not actual place. The Glorious
Quran speaks about the earth's SUNRISES
and SUNSETS. The same Noble Words
used in but in the
plural:
7:137 واورثنا القوم الذين كانوا يستضعفون

about Dhul-Qarnayn marching with his
army and he reached people during
sunset in a
mountainous area:
Dr. Zaghloul Al-Najjar
talks about the muddy pool of water that
also happens to look like an eye.
This is a picture
of the Issyk Kul lake in Kyrgyzstan.
It has muddy waters, and it looks like
and eye
as Allah
Almighty in the Glorious Quran
described. And Allah
Almighty always Knows Best. And
again,
عين
means both an
eye and a body of water in Arabic.
Lake Issk Kul or the
Black Sea
or a similar body:
بلغ
when used physically or geographically, it
means reaching near the area/land, or in it.
This is for Noble Verse 18:86. For example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010]
When they came
upon you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached
(بلغت
balaghat) to
the
throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
Let us now look at the top
candidates for the body of water
in Noble Verse
18:86:
1- Lake Issk Kul:
عين حمئة
AYN HAME'AH
in Noble Verse
18:86
means Murky and/or muddy water [1]
[2]
[3].
Some Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") read it as AYN
HAAMIYAH
عين حامية,
which means hot water [1].
This is based on Ibn Masood and
Ibn Al-Zubayr's reading.
See below.
Interestingly, lake Issyk Kul,
for example, which is shaped like an eye, and
is murky and muddy, is
also nicknamed the "hot
lake" because it
never freezes:
""Issyk-Kul"
means "hot
lake" in Kyrgyz,
as it never freezes." (Source)
"Issyk Kul
lake is the second-largest
alpine lake in the world....and
though temperatures do dip
significanty in the winter, the
lake never freezes. The reason
for this is its high salt
content, which has also endowed
it with its name, which
translates to ‘hot
lake’." (Source,
2)
"About 118
rivers and streams flow into the
lake; the largest are the
Djyrgalan and Tyup. It is fed by
springs, including
many hot springs,
and snow melt. The lake has no
current outlet, but some
hydrologists hypothesize[7] that
the lake's water filters deep
underground into the Chu River.
The bottom of the lake contains
the mineral monohydrocalcite:
one of the few known lacustrine
deposits." (Source)
حمئة
is murky and/or muddy [1]
[2]
[3].
"وجَدها تَغْرُب في عَيْنٍ حَمِئةٍ،
وقرأَ ابن مسعود وابن الزبير:
حاميةٍ",
translates as
"He found
it setting in a body of water
that is HAME'AH
حمئة, is read by Ibn Masood and
Ibn Al-Zubayr as: HAAMIYAH
حاميةٍ"
Why
حمئة
and not
حاميةٍ:
The
hotness of the lake here is
symbolic, which is perhaps why
Allah Almighty chose
حمئةand not
حامية,
which the latter literally means
"hot". So
حمئةis symbolically hot, and it
is actually murky and/or muddy.
And Allah Almighty always Knows
Best.
Lake Issyk Kul here gives us a
beautiful natural description on
what the body of water that Dhil
Qarnayn
ذي
القرنين
and his army reached was like.
It could very well be indeed
lake Issyk Kul itself. Or
it could be a similar body of
water with similar features.
Only Allah Almighty Knows.
2-
The Black Sea:
Late Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, may Allah
Almighty rest his soul and grant him
Paradise, - Ameen, -
gave old Islamic maps(video)
that date 1000+ old that estimate
that Dhil Qarnayn reached all the
way north, near the North Pole,
where the sun is always up, and
reached the
Black Sea
for sunset, the body of water that
is dark and murky. The Black
Sea is also not very far from the
northern parts of Russia
and the North Pole:
(Click to play video and to enlarge
pictures)
"We
made no cover...."
was never mentioned for sunset.
Only to
"where the sun is up...."
in Noble Verse
18:90,
which further supports that
"We made no cover...."
is indeed talking about the Northern
territories near the North Pole. See
ample pictures
of the sun never sets at the North Pole.
They also almost spoke unintelligibly:
"...people who almost spoke unintelligibly"
(18:93)
لايكادون يفقهون قولا.
See the references below about the Vikings'
language, and similar people of the North, when they were Barbarians.
Historians precisely say they spoke
unintelligibly [1].
At the top of the North Pole,
the sun never sets, and
shown in
this video. I also quoted the
scientific sources from
Wikipedia. Also in the
lands near by, the sun almost never
sets either, and I quoted
sources for that as well, and
also showed pictures of the
"polar
night" skies on these
lands. See
ample pictures.
*** Thousands of Miracles:
In either case or in any case
regarding Noble Verse
18:86's
body of water, the Glorious
Quran is the Divine and
Miraculous Book of Allah
Almighty. The Holy Book is filled with
thousands
of Numerical and Scientific Miracles.
We have listed them
here.
So it should be of no surprise to anyone, at
all, to see the Glorious Quran's description
of the sun's rising and setting to be
scientifically accurate, and very beautiful.
Again,
Allah Almighty referred to the actual
rising and setting points of the sun on
earth. The Glorious Quran says
there are
many rising and setting points
[2]
of the sun on earth.
The
sun never ceases nor disappears [1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]:
Prophet Muhammad: The sun is in
constant orbit always rising on people while setting on others.
عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل :هذه
المغارب اين تغرب ؟ وهذه المطالع اين تطلع ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم
هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن
قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت
"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."

Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].

sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91
are also prophetically linked together;
that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين
saw. Also visit:
-
The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran
predicts 11 planets in our
solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:
1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran.

The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
The Glorious Quran speaks about the SUN
TRAVELING IN SPACE IN ITS ORBIT
[2].
The Glorious Quran in multiple Noble
Verses spoke about the earth being
SPHERICAL, TRAVELING IN SPACE, ROTATING
AROUND ITSELF, and IS IN CONSTANT MOTION
[1].
If the sun were to set in a body of
water,
then it would have to
rise back again from that
place. And no
where does it say that it would set
again in another pool of water (i.e.,
bouncing back and forth).
Allah Almighty never declared that
Dhul-Qarnayn reached the ends of the
earth. No mention of
ends of the earth in the
entire Glorious Quran. Unlike the
Bible, for example, where it talks about
earth's "four
corners", the Quran
has no such phrases.
Allah Almighty never Said
that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached the "ends of the
earth" where the sun supposedly rises and sets. The Glorious Quran says clearly
that the
earth is spherical
[2]. Also on the contrary, it is the Bible
that says that:
The earth has ends.
It is standing on pillars
that prevent it from shaking.
GOD Almighty will shake
the earth to throw the people into space.
Clearly, the Glorious Quran is in no scientific
blunder regarding the shape of the earth, and the solar system.
In fact, there are ample Noble Verses that clearly and
indisputably state:
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in

Ample vocabularies
from seven encyclopedic Arabic dictionaries about earth in the
Glorious Quran. Please visit:
Possible Geographical and Astronomical
Significance:
I also believe that since Allah Almighty speaks also in plural
about the sunrise
and sunset points of the sun on
earth, then it is possible that Allah
Almighty here referred to geographical
locations that have
astronomical alignment
significance. The sun and
the earth orbit each other in an
S-shaped or number
8 orbit:
This is also all demonstrated in good
details in the following
video file
and articles:
This is why the
sun doesn't orbit around the earth in one
straight line. This is due to earth's
axle tilt and change of orbit. So the
sunset and sunrise points (plural) in the
Glorious Quran could be astronomical points. This might be similar
to the
location of Mecca, and the location
of the
Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, where
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was
taken up to Heaven from that rock (before
the Dome was built above it).
Consider the following moon's orbit Miracle
in the Glorious Quran. Notice below
"...until it ends up
looking like
حتى عاد...".
Where does it astronomically begin and end
up
عاد?
Moon
Orbit Miracle:
This is
the short version of the long article below.
Allah Almighty said this about the moon's
S-shaped orbit around the earth:
36:39والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى
عادكالعرجون
القديم
"And
We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends upعادlooking like an old date
branch
كالعرجون
القديم. 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.
(Qur'an, 36:39-40)"
Again,
Where does the moon astronomically begin and
end?

the main sections,
below:
1-
The root for message and all of its
derivatives, such as messenger and others
occurs
513
times throughout the Glorious Quran. The
Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names
(Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned

The Great Miracle. Allah
Almighty in the Holy Quran called the Number
19 Miracle "One of the
Mighty
Ones (Miracles)" (74:30-37)
[1]
[2].
See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly
testify to this Great Miracle. Also,
did you know that Allah Almighty Said in
Surat Nuh (that's Noble Chapter Nuh (Noah))
that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years
among his people.
Yet,
all Praise and Glory are due to Allah
Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is
exactly written in
950

19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA
Miracle. The total
numerical value of Noble Verses
74:30-37 themselves, which are
the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a
stunning Miracle in it. The value of
these Noble Verses matches the
multiplication of the BASMALA's number of
letters (19
Letters) and their total numerical values (115):
19 X 115 = 2185.
The Basmala, which full text in Arabic means
"In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent,
The Most Merciful"
is the Key to the Glorious Quran. It
is recited first before reading the Holy
Quran, and it is also obligatory upon every
Muslim to start with the Basmala before
starting any task. Again, 1,000s of
examples in
zip &
PDF (fonts)
files all demonstrated in this
article.
4- The
Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of
those Chapters is
6555
(1+2+...+114 = 6555). There are also
6236
Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, if
you add each Chapter's number with the number of
its Verses, then you get a list of numbers.
So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its Verses) =
8. Do this for all Chapters.
1-
The sum of the odd numbers from the list =
6555. 2- The sum of the
even numbers from the list =
6236.

"When the sky

(The Noble Quran,
55:37)
[2]
[3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

constant orbit always rising on people while setting on others.

هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن
قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت
"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."

Did Prophet Muhammad know think
that the earth was spherical or flat?
Answer:
In this Hadith, above, he certainly seems to have
known this fact very well. And this Hadith is even older than Sahih
Bukhari. It is important to know that Imam Bukhari and others
have declared that they have
discarded thousands of Hadiths:
This is to keep their volumes as simple and manageable as possible.
So it is quite possible that the Prophet spoke about the earth being
spherical, and the Glorious Quran certainly did, and
people just dismissed them as nonsense.
I have covered your question in great details at:
Also, Allah
Almighty in the Holy Quran
declares that the earth is:
Having said all of that, let us now pay close
attention to the following important Arabic key-words in
Noble Verses
18:83-110 where they are thoroughly
analyzed in this section and throughout
the article:
بلغ
وجد
عندها
تغرب في عين
مطلع الشمس وجدها
تطلع
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
Let us analyze Noble Verse 18:86,90:
Yusuf Ali Translation:
[018:086]
Until, when he
reached (بلغ)
the setting of the sun, he found it (وجدها)
set in a spring of murky water (تغرب في عين):
Near it (the water) he
found (ووجد
عندها) a People: We said:
"O Dhul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to
treat them with kindness."
Again, the Quran
also speaks in plural
about rises and
settings of the sun. See below.
[018:090]
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom
We had provided no covering
protection shade against from
under the sun (لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر).
I colored them so that it would be easier for you to
locate them and to follow through.
Now while below we will find ample detailed analysis
that I've provided from Arabic, but the following points are very
important to keep in mind:
This Noble Word is key
because it is used for time determination. Below, I've proven
with many Noble Verses and proofs that balagha
بلغ (reached)
indisputably means he
reached the time of sunset.
2- In the Glorious
Quran, wajada
وجد (found) has multiple meanings, which among them is
"to see",
as the Noble Verses, below, clearly and indisputably reveal. Wajada
وجد
here means that the sun disappeared from
Dhul-Qarnayn's naked eye, especially since the neighborhood was
mountainous (18:93). As
Dhul-Qarnayn was looking at the sun, he saw it
disappearing inside or behind a murky body/pond/lake/sea
of dark/murky water.
Now, since the Iron Gates were near the city of
Bukhara in modern-day Uzbekistan, and it is well
known that the waters there are murky, then there is strong evidence
that suggest that Dhul-Qarnayn reached a lake, or a body of water,
which is in a MOUNTAINOUS AREA as the Glorious Quran states, at
sunset:
The
murky lakes of
Uzbekistan: (Bukhara is in Uzbekistan, and this is where the
Iron
Gates were found):
Sunsets over the
Black Sea (its waters and the waters of that region are
murky):
Random sunsets over seas and lakes:
Sunsets and Sunrises behind mountains:
And of course, as I mentioned below,
if the sun were to literally set inside a pool of water, then it
would have to rise back again from that location and set into another body of water, which the Glorious Quran makes no
mention of, and then rise back again from that body of water and
set again in Dhul-Qarnayn's body of water, and so on. This
never happened, and nor did the Glorious Quran mention it.
The sun simply does not bounce back and forth between the east
and the west on earth, and nor does the moon. The Noble
Verses also do not say that the Dhul-Qarnayn went to the east or the
west of the earth. No east nor west were mentioned in any of
the Noble Verses, and as I mentioned below, neither does the
Glorious Quran mention that there are ends of the earth. On
the contrary, the Glorious Quran, as I also mentioned below, clearly
and indisputably Declares that the
earth is Spherical, Round, is Suspended and orbiting in Space, and
is rotating around its own axle. See the ample
Noble Verses and ample Arabic Analysis for the proofs, in the link.
Now as to wajada's (وجد)
meanings
throughout the Glorious Quran:
In Noble Verses
43:22-24, 31:21, 26:74, 21:53, 18:93, 12:65, 10:78, 7:44, 7:28,
5:104 and 3:37 the pagans used this word to say
"we saw
our fathers do idol worship". The English
translations use the word "found", but the context of the Noble
Verses clearly speak about these people were doing what they saw
their fathers do in the past.
Unknown to Allah Almighty?
In Noble Verses
93:7-8 and 38:44, Allah Almighty used this
Word وجد to
State that He Himself "He
Saw". Again, the English
translations use the word "found", but the context of the Noble
Verses clearly speaks about Allah Almighty seeing the deeds.
Allah Almighty Knows everything, and hence, He doesn't have to
go out His Way to find things. Finding something
means that it was missing from you,
or it was unknown to you.
Nothing is missing from Allah Almighty, nor is anything unknown
to Him, not even an atom of things:
[010:061]
..... Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as)
the weight of an
atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least
and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear
record.
[034:003]
The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the Hour": Say,
"Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you;- by
Him Who knows the unseen,- from Whom
is not hidden the
least little atom in the heavens or on earth: Nor
is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the
Record Perspicuous:
[099:007]
Then shall anyone who has done
an atom's weight
of good, see it!
[099:008]
And anyone who has done
an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.
So clearly,
وجد in the Glorious Quran was used
in some Noble Verses to mean to see. Using the word
"found" in the meaning of physically and literally
finding the sun's actual setting place is inaccurate, especially
again when there is no mention of
TWO POOLS
in the Glorious Quran as I explained above.
This video clip is for Main Section #2,
below, "2- "balagha" is metaphoric and
"yudrik" is literal.":
Notice how the leader and the soldiers were shouting
"ADRIKOOHUM !!"
(derived from yudrik),
which means "go chase them down and bring them back". It
literally means go and physically reach
them, while balagha, on the other hand, is used for time and metaphors.
3- In the Noble Verse,
endaha
عندها
(near it) is referring to the spring of the murky water. Both
the sun (الشمس)
and the spring (عين)
are feminine. They are not masculine.
عندها
is also feminine, and the context of the Noble Verse clearly
suggests that Dhul-Qarnayn found settlers near the spring at sunset.

As for
تغرب في عين
(disappear in a murky water), the following points make it quite
clear. This point is also discussed in great
details throughout
this article:
Here are
some of my favorite Stunning Numerical and Scientific
Miracles in the Glorious Quran that are listed in
the main sections,
below:
1-
The root for message and all of its
derivatives, such as messenger and others
occurs
513
times throughout the Glorious Quran. The
Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names
(Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned
513 times
in the Glorious Quran. The detailed
breakdown of all of this is thoroughly
listed here.

The Great Miracle. Allah
Almighty in the Holy Quran called the Number
19 Miracle "One of the
Mighty
Ones (Miracles)" (74:30-37)
[1]
[2].
See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly
testify to this Great Miracle. Also,
did you know that Allah Almighty Said in
Surat Nuh (that's Noble Chapter Nuh (Noah))
that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years
among his people.
Yet,
all Praise and Glory are due to Allah
Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is
exactly written in
950

19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA
Miracle. The total
numerical value of Noble Verses
74:30-37 themselves, which are
the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a
stunning Miracle in it. The value of
these Noble Verses matches the
multiplication of the BASMALA's number of
letters (19
Letters) and their total numerical values (115):
19 X 115 = 2185.
The Basmala, which full text in Arabic means
"In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent,
The Most Merciful"
is the Key to the Glorious Quran. It
is recited first before reading the Holy
Quran, and it is also obligatory upon every
Muslim to start with the Basmala before
starting any task. Again, 1,000s of
examples in

4- The
Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of
those Chapters is
6555
(1+2+...+114 = 6555). There are also
6236
Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, if
you add each Chapter's number with the number of
its Verses, then you get a list of numbers.
So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its Verses) =
8. Do this for all Chapters.
1-
The sum of the odd numbers from the list =
6555. 2- The sum of the
even numbers from the list =
6236.

STUNNING
Prophecies,
and
Allah's
Divine Promises
to reveal the Quran's Miracles.
"When the sky
disintegrates, and turns
rose colored like paint
(وردة
كالدهان)."
(The Noble Quran,
55:37)
[2]
[3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
The
Glorious Quran
declares that the
earth is
spherical:
[1]
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].
- The
sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
At the top of
the North Pole, the sun never sets[4], and I
showed the video for that, and also quoted the
scientific sources for that. Also in the lands
near by, it almost never sets either, and I
quoted sources for that as well, and also showed
pictures of the "polar
night" skies on these lands.
He saw the
Aurora Lights covering:
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the
aurora lights covering the
horizons of space above the earth when he
was taken up to Heaven:
Narrated
Abdullah: "Regarding
the Verse: “Indeed he (Muhammad)
did see. Of
the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!”
(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the
horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."
(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)
Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said
this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على
قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغ
where the sun is up
مطلع
الشمس,
he found it above
وجدها تطلع على
people
قوم
whom We
made no cover for them from it
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر.
(The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
Noble Verse(s)
18:91
Rodwell:
[018:091]
Thus it was.
And we had
full knowledge
of the forces that were with him.
Arabic (Read from right to
left. Also, all png image files: [1]
[2]):
18:91 كذلك
وقد احطنا
بما لديه خبرا
Prophet Muhammad
"did see"
(Quran 53.18)
the
Aurora Lights
covering the horizons above the earth from
space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the
farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and
"Thus
it was", Allah Almighty
completed the "full
knowledge" regarding
Dhil-Qarnayn's mission.
This
further supports the story below about
Dhil-Qarnayn's journey
to the farthest northern lands and people (The
sunsetless [4]
North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:
This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91
are also prophetically linked together;
that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين
saw. Also visit:
-
The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran
predicts 11 planets in our
solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:
1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran.

The following Noble Words are further discussed in this table,
below:
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
We had provided no covering protection shade
against from under the sun (من دونها ستر)
DIFFERENT POINTS IN THE RISING
AND SETTING OF THE SUN
No! I swear by the Lord of
the Easts and Wests that We have the power.
(Qur'an, 70:40)
Lord of the heavens and
the earth and everything between them;
Lord of
the Easts. (Qur'an, 37:5)
The Lord of the
two Easts
and the Lord of the
two Wests. (Qur'an, 55:17)
As can be discerned, the words east and west are
used in the plural sense in the above verses. For
instance, the word "mashariq," used in the
first verse for "east," and the word "magharib"
used for "west," are in plural form, indicating that
there are two of each. The words "mashriqayn"
and "maghribayn" in the last verse are used
for two easts and two wests. "Mashariq" and
"magharib" also mean the place where the
Sun rises and sets. The above verses are therefore
referring to different sites of the dawning and
closing of the day. It is also worthy of note that
the vow is taken by the Lord of "the easts and wests"
in the first verse.
The axis around which the earth revolves itself
is at an angle of 23° 27'. Due to that angle, and
the spherical shape of the Earth, the light rays
from the Sun do not always strike it at the same
angle. This means that since the Sun's rays fall on
that area at different angles, someone far away from
the equator will observe the Sun rising at different
points in the east and setting at different points
in the west. The further away from the equator that
person is the more different points he will identify
for the dawning and closing of the day.
Someone at the equator, however, will always
observe that the Sun rises exactly in the east and
sets exactly in the west, since the Sun's rays
always fall perpendicularly there. Bearing in mind
that the Arabian peninsula is not that far from the
equator, it would appear impossible for such an
observation to be made there. That is because
someone in that region would see that the Sun always
rises at the same point, and always sets at the same
point. The expression regarding east and west in the
above verses may be indicating the Sun rising and
setting at different points. (Allah knows best.)
Further down in this article, you'll read the following. The
video below is a must-watch:
Now in regards to Noble Verse 36:38:
Arabic (from right to left):
36:38والشمس تجري لمستقر لها ذلك تقدير العزيز
العليم
"And the sun runs
(different from the "sun's orbit" or "orbit of the sun" in other Noble Verses
[1]) on its fixed course for
a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
(The Noble Quran, 36:38)"
Running is going fast. Our sun and moon to our naked eyes are
NOT running while rising and setting upon us. Our solar system is
traveling very fast in space. This is also where we know that the UNIVERSE
IS EXPANDING. The Quran made this claim also:
"And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it."
(The Noble Quran,
51:47).
Running in Arabic is جرى, which is what
تجري is derived
from.
There are also many Words that speak about the
motion
of earth in space:
دحاها DAHAHA, كفاتاKIFAATA,تقوم TAQOOM, وضعها WADA'AHA, تمر TAMUR, مهادا
MIHAADA, تزولا TAZOOL, تميد TAMEED.
Also, all celestial bodies,يعرجون Yaa'rujoon (traveling
in orbits [2]
[3]
[4]
[5]) in space.
Also other Arabic words عرج
,
عروج , معارج and معراج that
all refer to "going in an orbital and curvy path" in the Glorious Quran and our
Islamic Texts.
This is all demonstrated in good details in the following
video file:
Scientists today believe that our galaxy is currently traveling towards a
Black Hole and Star Vega. So the sun, which is the mother of our Solar
System, will not just exist forever. There will come a time where it will
come to a halt in both motion and light.
Also, the Glorious Quran
[1]
declares that the
earth is:
1- Spherical.
2- Suspended in Space.
3- Rotating around itself.
(emphasis on dahaha
and its derivatives)
4- Is traveling in Space.
5- Also, all celestial bodies are
يعرجون
Yaa'rujoon (traveling
in orbits [2]
[3]
[4]
[5]) in space.
The countless orbits in the
Universe, and the day-layer
reveals the sun's brightness.

Detailed rebuttal about the shape
of the Earth in the Glorious Quran.
Detailed discussion about
SUTIHAT.
Another Important Point:
Allah Almighty never Said
that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached the "ends of the
earth" where the sun supposedly rises and sets. In fact, no where
in the entire Quran is "ends of the earth"
mentioned. The Glorious Quran, on the contrary, says clearly
that the
earth is spherical
[2]. Also on the contrary, it is the Bible
that says that:
The earth has ends
It is standing on pillars
that prevent it from shaking.
GOD Almighty will shake
the earth to throw the people into space.
Clearly, the Glorious Quran is in no scientific
blunder regarding the shape of the earth, and the solar system.
In fact, there are ample Noble Verses that clearly and
indisputably state:
The earth is spherical.
The earth is suspended in
space.
The earth is in constant
rotation around itself.
The earth is moving in
space.
The earth was expanded and
our water was then produced from it.
So why
did Allah Almighty Choose "he
found saw it (وجدها)"
and not
رآها
(saw it):
I certainly can't speak on behalf of Allah Almighty, but I could
give you few possibilities as to why would the use of
وجدها
would be most appropriate:
1-
Dhul-Qarnayn seems to have been following the path of the sun.
On a cloudy day or in mountainous areas, the sun during the day, or
the moon during the night, could disappear either behind the thick
clouds or the mountains. A traveler 1000s of years ago, who
had no compass to guide him through the North and South
Poles' magnetic fields, could easily get lost.
Behind Mountains:
Noble Verse 18:93
clearly suggests that the area had very high and steep
mountains in it.
Noble Verse 18:90
also states that Dhul-Qarnayn traveled through the night and
then finally reached a town at the time of sunrise.
Perhaps, because of the high mountains, the citing of the
moon during the night, and the citing of the sun as it rises was
not easy. Thus, the sunrise had to be found in the horizon to be seen.
2- So the use of the
word
وجدها
in this case, if the case was true, is more accurate then just
رآها (saw it), because
وجدها now becomes more encompassing to the situation, and is more accurate
and descriptive.
What about the people who had
no cover from the sun in Noble Verse
18:90?
(لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر)
Let us look at Noble Verse
18:90:
Yusuf Ali:
[018:090]
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom
We had provided no covering protection shade
against from under the sun (من دونها ستر).
18:90
حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على قوم
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
The following key Words are analyzed in great
details below:
1-
لم
= did not.
2-
نجعل
= caused it to be, evolved it.
2-
نجعل
= caused it to be, evolved it.
Throughout
the Glorious Quran, Allah Almighty used this
Noble Word to speak about things being created
through a development or an evolution. The
Noble Word means that
Allah
Almighty Creates, Develops and/or Makes a
creation through the process of (1)
Evolution, (2) Natural development of a
creation, or (3) A process of engagement,
mixing and/or development through two or more
creations being combined or put together;
similar to a chain reaction:
21:31 وجعلنا في الارض رواسي ان تميد بهم
وجعلنا فيها فجاجا سبلا لعلهم يهتدون
"And We have made in/on
وجعلنا في
the earth
mountains standing firm,
lest it should shake with them, and We have
made therein broad highways (between
mountains) for them to pass through: that
they may receive Guidance. (The
Noble Quran, 21:31)"
21:32 وجعلنا السماء سقفا
محفوظا وهم عن اياتها معرضون
"And We have made the heavens
وجعلنا السماءsky as a
canopy well guarded a protective roof:
yet do they turn away from the Signs which
these things (point to)! (The
Noble Quran, 21:32)"
We know that
the earth's mountains and protective
atmosphere were gradually formed after
earth's creation. In fact, there is even
evidence from the Glorious Quran that earth
was a Planemo Planet, a rogue planet that
came from outside outside our solar system:
Whether earth was formed from our solar
system or came from outside, the fact
remains that the protective atmosphere was
not formed until it became stable in its
orbit around our sun. And most probably,
due to this rotation and gravity, our
mountains were also formed. Our gravity
exists today on earth because our planet is
still hot from inside, and because it has
iron in it. See what the scientists say
about this in the following link. Allah
Almighty also said that He sent down iron to
earth:
5-
دونها
= under it.
See this detailed article
for ample details and proofs on the ample uses of this Noble Word
throughout the Glorious Quran. I also used many reputable
Arabic dictionaries, including the Encyclopedic 10-Book
Lisan Al-Arab dictionary, to demonstrate and prove this Noble
Word's meanings. Click on
the link for the details.
So the sun was never physically near the people, nor near
Dhul-Qarnayn and his army.
While the Noble Verses may seem on the surface to be speaking only
about the community that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached, but the Noble
Words,
لم
نجعل لهم من دونها ستر,
are clearly speaking about the whole land that he reached, and
perhaps even the whole race. This is further confirmed in
the following Noble Words that have been demonstrated above.
1-
دونها,
which clearly means "under it" [1]
[2].
So the sun was never physically near the people, nor near
Dhul-Qarnayn and his army. Throughout the Glorious Quran,
Allah Almighty used certain words in many Noble Verses that spoke
about being physically close to something. The following Noble
Words clearly and indisputably prove this:
جنب (janb) also means being
physically and geographically near. See Noble Verses:
4:36, 92:17. Note that
سيجنبها in Noble Verse
92:17 means that the Believer will
not physically come
جنب (near) the Hell Fire
in the Day of Judgment. See Noble Verses
92:12-20.
2-
نجعل,
as I demonstrated with the ample Noble Verses above, means that
Allah Almighty Creates, Develops and/or Makes a creation through the
process of (1) Evolution, (2) Natural development of a
creation, or (3) A process of engagement, mixing and/or
development through two or more creations being combined or put
together; similar to a chain reaction.
Therefore, the Noble Words
and Verses are clearly and indisputably speaking:
About the land(s) and
all of the people that lived in it was not given an-enough
atmospheric cover from the sun.
About the people and
Dhul-Qarnayn and his army were all under the sun and not
physically anywhere near it. Otherwise, Allah Almighty would've used
any of the Noble Words above, as He, the Almighty, Had used them
countless times throughout the Glorious Quran. A simple
search on these Noble Words shows that
there are 93 Noble Verses that Allah Almighty used them in
throughout the Glorious Quran.
So in a nutshell, Noble Verse 18:90 is saying the following:
When Dhul-Qarnayn and his army took off during
the night, in the mountainous area that they were in (18:93), they kept
on going until they reached sunrise.
They saw a
community (قوم)
of people who were living in a land that possibly had no shade nor cover
from the sun's very-hot rays, contrary to the shades that the
mountains provided the other communities in the area.
It is also possible that the people were also
suffering from drought.
Again, Allah Almighty Said that Dhul-Qarnayn saw
the people under the sun (دونها),
as we are all always under the sun when it is up in the sky
during the day.
If the sun were to literally rise on the people,
then its blazing lights would've fried Dhul-Qarnayn, his
army, and the community of people that they reached.
Did the Noble Quran really say that the sun
sets and rises on earth?
The sections of this article are:
1- The Noble Quran's Divine Claims and detailed analysis
about them.
-
Aayn (spring) VS hufra (hole, pit) are clear proofs in Noble Verse 18:86.
Noble Verse 18:86:
Proofs that "aayn" means spring or lake or a body of
water.
Proofs that "aayn" does not mean hole or open
space.
"taghrubu" means to go away.
Examples about
Sunset.
The Black Sea and the dark waters near it
in the Noble Verse!
Noble Verse 18:90:
Examples of
Sunrise in the Glorious
Quran
No mention of Aayn (spring) or Hufra (hole or pit) in this
Noble Verse.
The
infidels' nonsense about
Sunrise and
Sunset:
So the
sun sets inside a body of water? [1] And
how exactly does it rise back up again
according to the anti-Islamics?
First of all, the Arabic Quran doesn't
have the word PLACE (MAKAAN) in the
Noble Verse. Anti-Islamics such as
David Wood deliberately use a wrong
translation to prove their falsehood.
BALAGHA (reached) is used for time and
place approximation and estimation. ADRAKA would've been literal, and that's
not in the Noble Verses. Again,
for example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010]
When they came
upon you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached
(بلغت
balaghat) to
the
throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
The hearts didn't literally reach
the throats.
Ample more Noble Verses on
BALAGHA are listed
in this article.
MAGHREB (sunset)
is also used for time
and not actual place. The Glorious
Quran speaks about the earth's SUNRISES
and SUNSETS. The same Noble Words
used in but in the
plural:
7:137 واورثنا القوم الذين كانوا يستضعفون
مشارق الارض ومغاربها
[007:137]
And We made the
people who were deemed weak to inherit
the eastern lands and the
western ones
مشارق الارض ومغاربها
37:5 رب السماوات والارض ومابينهما
ورب المشارق
[037:005]
Lord of the
heavens and of the earth and all between
them, and Lord of every point at
the rising of the sun!
المشارق
70:40 فلا اقسم برب المشارق والمغارب انا
لقادرون
[070:040]
And I need not swear by the Lord of the
easts and the westsالمشارق والمغارب;
verily, we are able
The context of the Noble Verses speak
about Dhul-Qarnayn marching with his
army and he reached people during
sunset in a
mountainous area:
Dr. Zaghloul Al-Najjar
talks about the muddy pool of water that
also happens to look like an eye.
This is a picture
of the Issyk Kul lake in Kyrgyzstan.
It has muddy waters, and it looks like
and eye
as Allah
Almighty in the Glorious Quran
described. And Allah
Almighty always Knows Best. And
again,
عين
means both an
eye and a body of water in Arabic.
Lake Issk Kul or the
Black Sea
or a similar body:
بلغ
when used physically or geographically, it
means reaching near the area/land, or in it.
This is for Noble Verse 18:86. For example:
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت
القلوب الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010]
When they came
upon you from above you and from below
you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached
(بلغت
balaghat) to
the
throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
Let us now look at the top
candidates for the body of water
in Noble Verse
18:86:
1- Lake Issk Kul:
عين حمئة
AYN HAME'AH
in Noble Verse
18:86
means Murky and/or muddy water [1]
[2]
[3].
Some Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") read it as AYN
HAAMIYAH
عين حامية,
which means hot water [1].
This is based on Ibn Masood and
Ibn Al-Zubayr's reading.
See below.
Interestingly, lake Issyk Kul,
for example, which is shaped like an eye, and
is murky and muddy, is
also nicknamed the "hot
lake" because it
never freezes:
""Issyk-Kul"
means "hot
lake" in Kyrgyz,
as it never freezes." (Source)
"Issyk Kul
lake is the second-largest
alpine lake in the world....and
though temperatures do dip
significanty in the winter, the
lake never freezes. The reason
for this is its high salt
content, which has also endowed
it with its name, which
translates to ‘hot
lake’." (Source,
2)
"About 118
rivers and streams flow into the
lake; the largest are the
Djyrgalan and Tyup. It is fed by
springs, including
many hot springs,
and snow melt. The lake has no
current outlet, but some
hydrologists hypothesize[7] that
the lake's water filters deep
underground into the Chu River.
The bottom of the lake contains
the mineral monohydrocalcite:
one of the few known lacustrine
deposits." (Source)
حمئة
is murky and/or muddy [1]
[2]
[3].
"وجَدها تَغْرُب في عَيْنٍ حَمِئةٍ،
وقرأَ ابن مسعود وابن الزبير:
حاميةٍ",
translates as
"He found
it setting in a body of water
that is HAME'AH
حمئة, is read by Ibn Masood and
Ibn Al-Zubayr as: HAAMIYAH
حاميةٍ"
Why
حمئة
and not
حاميةٍ:
The
hotness of the lake here is
symbolic, which is perhaps why
Allah Almighty chose
حمئةand not
حامية,
which the latter literally means
"hot". So
حمئةis symbolically hot, and it
is actually murky and/or muddy.
And Allah Almighty always Knows
Best.
Lake Issyk Kul here gives us a
beautiful natural description on
what the body of water that Dhil
Qarnayn
ذي
القرنين
and his army reached was like.
It could very well be indeed
lake Issyk Kul itself. Or
it could be a similar body of
water with similar features.
Only Allah Almighty Knows.
2-
The Black Sea:
Late Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, may Allah
Almighty rest his soul and grant him
Paradise, - Ameen, -
gave old Islamic maps(video)
that date 1000+ old that estimate
that Dhil Qarnayn reached all the
way north, near the North Pole,
where the sun is always up, and
reached the
Black Sea
for sunset, the body of water that
is dark and murky. The Black
Sea is also not very far from the
northern parts of Russia
and the North Pole:
(Click to play video and to enlarge
pictures)
"We
made no cover...."
was never mentioned for sunset.
Only to
"where the sun is up...."
in Noble Verse
18:90,
which further supports that
"We made no cover...."
is indeed talking about the Northern
territories near the North Pole. See
ample pictures
of the sun never sets at the North Pole.
They also almost spoke unintelligibly:
"...people who almost spoke unintelligibly"
(18:93)
لايكادون يفقهون قولا.
See the references below about the Vikings'
language, and similar people of the North, when they were Barbarians.
Historians precisely say they spoke
unintelligibly [1].
At the top of the North Pole,
the sun never sets, and
shown in
this video. I also quoted the
scientific sources from
Wikipedia. Also in the
lands near by, the sun almost never
sets either, and I quoted
sources for that as well, and
also showed pictures of the
"polar
night" skies on these
lands. See
ample pictures.
*** Thousands of Miracles:
In either case or in any case
regarding Noble Verse
18:86's
body of water, the Glorious
Quran is the Divine and
Miraculous Book of Allah
Almighty. The Holy Book is filled with
thousands
of Numerical and Scientific Miracles.
We have listed them
here.
So it should be of no surprise to anyone, at
all, to see the Glorious Quran's description
of the sun's rising and setting to be
scientifically accurate, and very beautiful.
Again,
Allah Almighty referred to the actual
rising and setting points of the sun on
earth. The Glorious Quran says
there are
many rising and setting points
[2]
of the sun on earth.
The
sun never ceases nor disappears [1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]:
Prophet Muhammad: The sun is in
constant orbit always rising on people while setting on others.
عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل :هذه
المغارب اين تغرب ؟ وهذه المطالع اين تطلع ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم
هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن
قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت
"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."

in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:

aurora lights covering the

was taken up to Heaven:

(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the

(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)
Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said
this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على
قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغ
where the sun is up
مطلع

he found it above

completed the "full
knowledge" regarding
Dhil-Qarnayn's mission.
This
further supports the story below about
Dhil-Qarnayn's journey
to the farthest northern lands and people (The
sunsetless [4]
North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:
This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91

The Glorious Quran speaks about the SUN
TRAVELING IN SPACE IN ITS ORBIT
[2].
The Glorious Quran in multiple Noble
Verses spoke about the earth being
SPHERICAL, TRAVELING IN SPACE, ROTATING
AROUND ITSELF, and IS IN CONSTANT MOTION
[1].
If the sun were to set in a body of
water,
then it would have to
rise back again from that
place. And no
where does it say that it would set
again in another pool of water (i.e.,
bouncing back and forth).
Allah Almighty never declared that
Dhul-Qarnayn reached the ends of the
earth. No mention of
ends of the earth in the
entire Glorious Quran. Unlike the
Bible, for example, where it talks about
earth's "four
corners", the Quran
has no such phrases.
Allah Almighty never Said
that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached the "ends of the
earth" where the sun supposedly rises and sets. The Glorious Quran says clearly
that the
earth is spherical
[2]. Also on the contrary, it is the Bible
that says that:
The earth has ends.
It is standing on pillars
that prevent it from shaking.
GOD Almighty will shake
the earth to throw the people into space.
Clearly, the Glorious Quran is in no scientific
blunder regarding the shape of the earth, and the solar system.
In fact, there are ample Noble Verses that clearly and
indisputably state:
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in

Allah
Almighty Said that He will show the
later generations
these Miracles to prove that the Quran is from Him.
Possible Geographical and Astronomical
Significance:
I also believe that since Allah Almighty speaks also in plural
about the sunrise
and sunset points of the sun on
earth, then it is possible that Allah
Almighty here referred to geographical
locations that have
astronomical alignment
significance. The sun and
the earth orbit each other in an
S-shaped or number
8 orbit:
This is also all demonstrated in good
details in the following
video file
and articles:
This is why the
sun doesn't orbit around the earth in one
straight line. This is due to earth's
axle tilt and change of orbit. So the
sunset and sunrise points (plural) in the
Glorious Quran could be astronomical points. This might be similar
to the
location of Mecca, and the location
of the
Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, where
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was
taken up to Heaven from that rock (before
the Dome was built above it).
Consider the following moon's orbit Miracle
in the Glorious Quran. Notice below
"...until it ends up
looking like
حتى عاد...".
Where does it astronomically begin and end
up
عاد?
Moon
Orbit Miracle:
This is
the short version of the long article below.
Allah Almighty said this about the moon's
S-shaped orbit around the earth:
36:39والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى
عادكالعرجون
القديم
"And
We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends upعادlooking like an old date
branch
كالعرجون
القديم. 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.
(Qur'an, 36:39-40)"
Again,
Where does the moon astronomically begin and
end?

[1]
[2].
See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly
testify to this Great Miracle. Also,
did you know that Allah Almighty Said in

19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA
Miracle. The total
numerical value of Noble Verses
74:30-37 themselves, which are
the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a
stunning Miracle in it. The value of
these Noble Verses matches the
multiplication of the BASMALA's number of
letters (19
Letters) and their total numerical values (115):
19 X 115 = 2185.
The Basmala, which full text in Arabic means
"In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent,
The Most Merciful"
is the Key to the Glorious Quran. It
is recited first before reading the Holy
Quran, and it is also obligatory upon every
Muslim to start with the Basmala before
starting any task. Again, 1,000s of
examples in
zip &
PDF (fonts)
files all demonstrated in this

4- The
Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of
those Chapters is
6555
(1+2+...+114 = 6555). There are also
6236
Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, if
you add each Chapter's number with the number of
its Verses, then you get a list of numbers.
So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its Verses) =
8. Do this for all Chapters.
1-
The sum of the odd numbers from the list =
6555. 2- The sum of the
even numbers from the list =
6236.

STUNNING
Prophecies,

Allah's
Divine Promises
to reveal the Quran's Miracles.
"When the sky
disintegrates, and turns
rose colored like paint
(وردة
كالدهان)."
(The Noble Quran,
55:37)
[2]
[3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
The
Glorious Quran

earth is

Prophet Muhammad
"did see"

the
Aurora Lights
covering the horizons above the earth from
space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the
farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and
"Thus
it was", Allah Almighty
completed the "full
knowledge" regarding
Dhil-Qarnayn's mission.
This
further supports the story below about
Dhil-Qarnayn's journey
to the farthest northern lands and people (The
sunsetless [4]
North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:
This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.

Noble Verses 18:85, 89 & 92:
The speech in Noble Verses 18:85,89 and 92 is clear that he walked
or marched for short distances and did not go to the
ends of the earth!
* In fact, no where in the entire Noble Quran is "ends
of the earth" mentioned!

The Noble Quran's Divine Claims and detailed analysis about them:
Let us look at the following Noble Verses from the Noble Quran. Please pay close
attention to the bolded and underlined
parts.
Let us look at Noble Verses 18:83-110:
83. They ask thee concerning Zul-qarnain [or Dhul-qarnain]. Say, 'I will rehearse to
you something of his story.'
84. Verily We established his power on earth, and We gave him the ways and the means to
all ends.
85. One (such) way he followed, 86. Until, when he reached ("balagha".....it
doesn't mean literal arrival. See Noble Verses 6:19, 12:22, 18:61, 18:86, 18:90,
18:93, 24:59, 28:14, 37:102, 46:15 in the next section below. "adraka" or "yudrik" mean literal arrival or
reaching as also shown in the next section below) the setting
of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it (the water) he found a People:
We said: 'O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them
with kindness.'
87. He said: 'Whoever doth wrong, him shall we punish; then shall he be sent back to his
Lord; and He will punish him with a punishment unheard-of (before).
88. But whoever believes, and works righteousness,- he shall have a goodly reward, and
easy will be his task as We order it by our Command.'
89. Then followed he (another) way, 90. Until, when he came (balagha....not literal.
See the next section) to the rising of the sun, he
found it rising on a people for whom We had provided no covering protection against the
sun.
91. (He left them) as they were: We completely understood what was before him.
92. Then followed he (another) way, 93. Until, when he reached (balagha.....not
literal. See the next section) (a tract) between two
mountains, he found, beneath them, a people who scarcely understood a word.
94. They said: 'O Zul-qarnain! the Gog and Magog (People) do great mischief on earth:
shall we then render thee tribute in order that thou mightest erect a barrier between us
and them?'
95. He said: '(The power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than tribute):
Help me therefore with strength (and labour): I will erect a strong barrier between you
and them: 96. Bring me blocks of iron.' At length, when he had filled up the space
between the two steep mountain-sides, He said, 'Blow (with your bellows)' Then, when he
had made it (red) as fire, he said: 'Bring me, that I may pour over it, molten lead.' 97. Thus were they made powerless to scale it or to dig through it.
98. He said: 'This is a mercy from my Lord: But when the promise of my Lord comes to pass,
He will make it into dust; and the promise of my Lord is true.'
99. On that day We shall leave them to surge like waves on one another: the trumpet will
be blown, and We shall collect them all together.
100. And We shall present Hell that day for Unbelievers to see, all spread out,-
101. (Unbelievers) whose eyes had been under a veil from remembrance of Me, and who had
been unable even to hear.
There are several points and proofs to notice here:
1- The sun had always risen from the east
and set in the west in a constant circular motion. To our human perspective, the sun
had always rose from the east, and set in the west, and then goes under the earth to rise
back from the east and so on.
2- The sun could not physically set on a
lake or Spring, because that area of water could not have
space or hole under it where the sun would go through it to then go
under the earth so it would rise back up again from the east.
3- Not a single Muslim scholar interpreted
this Noble Verse as the SUN SETTING INSIDE THE Murky spring water. See the "Aayn (spring) VS hufra
(hole, pit) are clear proofs in Noble Verse 18:86."
sub-section below.
5- If the intention of
Noble Verses 18:83-110 was that the sun literally set inside the murky
spring, then it would have had to rise back again from the West and
set into another murky spring in the East, which the Glorious
Quran never made any mention of, and rise back from the East and
set in the West, and rise back from the West and set in the East, and so on.
Did the sun ever rise from the
west?
Did the sun ever
bounce back and forth between the east and the west in its rising and setting?
See the "Aayn
(spring) VS hufra (hole, pit) are clear proofs in Noble Verse 18:86." sub-section below.
6- If we take the above Noble Verses LITERALLY,
then this means that the sun would have to bounce back and forth between the west and the
east.
7- While the Noble Verses above don't give
specific timing on how long it took Zul-Qarnayn to roam through the lands, but people back
then were believed to do a lot of traveling on foot. While they didn't have the
convenient and time-saving transportation that we have today, but nonetheless, they did
travel through the lands without a problem. They were very physical in their life
styles and they were able to build so much resistance against tiredness.
8- Some might say that the Noble Verse
meant to say that the sun set on a place or through a hole near that Spring. In this
case, this interpretation had refuted their "Literal
Speech" interpretation, because they now had NULLIFIED their point and fixed position
about the sun setting exactly in that murky lake or spring. Since they now agree
that it doesn't NECESSARILY mean that
the sun literally set on the water, then the "setting through a hole near the
water" claim is only an interpretation without clear cut certainty and proofs.
See the sections below regarding the mentioned Iron Gates (only
mentioned in the Noble Quran and no where else) were indeed found, and see
the Scientific and Divine Miracles in the Noble Quran along with the modern scientific
proofs confirming their Truthfulness.
Aayn, VS hufra are
clear proofs in Noble Verse 18:86:
Noble Verse 18:86:
(a)- Proofs that
"aayn" means spring or lake or a body of water:
"And remember Moses prayed for water for his people; We said:
"Strike the rock with thy staff." Then gushed forth therefrom twelve
springs (fainfajarat minhu ithnata AAashrata
AAaynan). Each group knew its own place for water. So eat and
drink of the sustenance provided by God, and do no evil nor mischief on the (face of the)
earth. (The Noble Quran, 20:60)"
"We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed
Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock
with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs (ithnata AAashrata AAaynan):
Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down
to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for
you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
(The Noble Quran, 7:160)"
"And to Solomon (We made) the Wind (obedient): Its early
morning (stride) was a month's (journey), and its evening (stride) was a month's
(journey); and We made a Font of molten brass to flow for him (waasalna lahu AAayna alqitri);
and there were Jinns that worked in front of him, by the leave of his Lord, and if any of
them turned aside from our command, We made him taste of the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
(The Noble Quran, 34:12)"
"In them (each) will be two Springs flowing
(free)(AAaynani tajriyani); (The Noble
Quran, 55:50)"
"In them (each) will be two Springs(AAaynani) pouring forth water in
continuous abundance: (The Noble Quran, 55:66)"
"A fountain(AAaynan) there, called Salsabil. (The Noble
Quran, 76:18)"
"A spring (AAaynan), from (the waters) whereof drink those Nearest to
God. (The Noble Quran, 83:28)"
"The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling
hot spring (AAaynin aniyatin), (The Noble
Quran, 88:5)"
"Therein will be a bubbling spring (AAaynun jariyatun):
(The Noble Quran, 88:12)"
(b)-
Proofs that
"aayn" DOES NOT mean hole or open space:
"And hold fast, all together, by the rope which God (stretches
out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude God's
favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His
Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit (hufratin) of Fire,
and He saved you from it. Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be
guided. (The Noble Quran, 3:103)"
The Arabic word "hufra" literally means a hole or a pit. Allah Almighty
never used this word in the rising and setting of the sun.
(c)- "taghrubu" means to go away:
"Until, when he reached the setting of the sun (ghuroob al-shams), he found it set
(taghrubu) in a
spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast
authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness." (The Noble Quran, 18:86)"
"taghrubu" in Arabic is derived from the root
word "ghuroob", which has one literal meaning which
is "to go away" or "to
leave" or "to disappear". "gharb" means "west".
"taghrubu" does literally mean to "going away" or "disappearing",
and doesn't necessarily have to be in the direction of
the west.
Get out of my face!
"ughrub aan wajhi" literally means "get out of my face" or "go
away from me now!".
So taking this literal meaning of the words in Noble Verse 18:86,
the Noble Verse would then read as follows:
"Until, when he reached sunset, he
found it disappearing in a spring (aayn) of murky (or dark) water: Near it he found a People: We
said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them
with kindness." (The Noble Quran, 18:86)"
By the way, "spring"
(aayn), can also mean a body of water and not necessarily a
pond or a fount. When Allah Almighty refers to the SPRINGS in Heaven, He is probably
referring to large bodies of blissful water!
Again, as I mentioned above in the fifth point:
5- If the verses were to be taken
literally, then the sun would have to set in the west, and would have to then rise back
from the west, and then set in the east and then rise back from the east and so on.
Did the sun ever
rise from the west?
Did the sun ever
bounce back and forth between the east and the west in its rising and setting?
Noble Verse 18:90:
(a)-
Examples of Sunrise in the Glorious Quran:
Dhul-Qarnayn did not go to the ends of the earth
according to the Noble Quran. You won't find any statement of this kind in
the Glorious Quran. Unlike the Bible, for example,
with its
four corners of the earth, and
other unscientific statements:
Allah Almighty never declared
that Dhul-Qarnayn reached the ends of the earth. No mention of
ends of the
earth in the entire Glorious Quran. Unlike the Bible,
for example, where it talks about earth's "four
corners", the Quran has no such phrases.
Allah Almighty never Said
that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached the "ends of the
earth" where the sun supposedly rises and sets. The Glorious
Quran says clearly that the
earth is spherical [2].
Also on the contrary, it is the Bible that says that:
The earth has
ends.
It is
standing on pillars that prevent it from shaking.
GOD Almighty
will shake the earth to throw the people into space.
Clearly, the
Glorious Quran is in no scientific blunder regarding the shape of
the earth, and the solar system. In fact, there are ample Noble
Verses that clearly and indisputably state:
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].
- The
sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
At the top of
the North Pole, the sun never sets[4], and I
showed the video for that, and also quoted the
scientific sources for that. Also in the lands
near by, it almost never sets either, and I
quoted sources for that as well, and also showed
pictures of the "polar
night" skies on these lands.
He saw the
Aurora Lights covering:
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the
aurora lights covering the
horizons of space above the earth when he
was taken up to Heaven:
Narrated
Abdullah: "Regarding
the Verse: “Indeed he (Muhammad)
did see. Of
the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!”
(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the
horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."
(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)
Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said
this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على
قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغ
where the sun is up
مطلع
الشمس,
he found it above
وجدها تطلع على

قوم
whom We
made no cover for them from it
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر.

The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
You don't find statements that clash with science in the Glorious
Quran.
Now, notice in Noble Verse 18:90, Allah Almighty said "matliaaa alshshamsi" AND NOT "mashriqa alshshamsi". This
is very important because the Arabic words "sharq" and "gharb" which
mean "east" and "west" respectively, are the root words for the sun's
rising "mashriq alshams" and sun setting "maghrib alshams".
"Mashriq" is derived from "sharq" and "maghrib" is derived
from "gharb".
Tuloo Al-Shams:
Also, Allah Almighty used the root word "tuloo", which
is what "matliaaa" is derived from, in the following Noble Verses:
"Therefore be patient with what they say, and celebrate
(constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising (tulooAAi) of the
sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of the
night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy. (The Noble Quran, 20:130)"
"Bear, then, with patience, all that they say, and celebrate
the praises of thy Lord, before the rising (tulooAAi) of the
sun and before (its) setting (alghuroobi). (The Noble
Quran, 50:39)"
Again, the fact that the sun rises above all of the nations of this earth, then there
is no question that "tuloo" is metaphoric and not literal since one does not
need to be near the hole where the sun rises from (assuming that the Noble Quran embraces
the flat-earth theory, which is bogus, because the Noble Quran declared that
the earth is egg-shaped).
By the way, "maghrib" is not literal either, because in
Noble Verse 50:39 above,
"alghuroobi" is a sister word of "maghrib" (both derived from the same
root word "gharb" or "west"), and since the sun sets on every nation
on earth, and one does not have to be physically near the hole where the sun sets in
(again, assuming that the Noble Quran embraces the flat-earth theory, which is
bogus, because the Noble Quran declared that the earth is
egg-shaped), then this clearly means that Dhul-Qarnayn
did not physically reach the setting of the sun, as further proven in the sections below,
nor did the Noble Quran say that he went to the "ends of
the earth". In fact, no where in the Noble
Quran does the term "ends of the earth" exist!
The fact that Allah Almighty never used the word
"mashriq" instead of "matliaaa" proves:
1- Dhul-Qarnayn did not go to the "ends of the earth".
2- Allah Almighty specifically made it clear that Dhul-Qarnayn did not
go to the far west where the sun sets and then went to the far east where the sun rises,
since the word "mashriq" was never used in the Noble Verses.
3- Allah Almighty did use in OTHER Noble Verses "mashriq"
and "sharq" when referring to places located in the east, and to the rising of
the sun, in the Noble Quran. See the following Noble
Verses.
Shorooq Al-Shams:
"Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew
from her family to a place in the East (makanan
sharqiyyan). (The Noble Quran, 19:16)"
"God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable
of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass:
the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither
of the east nor of the west (la sharqiyyatin
wala gharbiyyatin),
whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! God doth
guide whom He will to His Light: God doth set forth Parables for men: and God doth know
all things. (The Noble Quran, 24:35)"
"To God belong the east (almashriqu) and the West (waalmaghribu):
Whithersoever ye turn, there is the presence of God. For God is all-Pervading,
all-Knowing. (The Noble Quran, 2:115)"
"The fools among the people will say: "What hath turned
them from the Qibla to which they were used?" Say: To God belong both east
and West (lillahi almashriqu waalmaghribu): He guideth whom He will to a Way that is straight.
(The Noble Quran, 2:142)"
"It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards
east or West (qibala almashriqi waalmaghribi); but it is righteousness- to believe in God and the
Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance,
out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those
who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular
charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain
(or suffering) and a dversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of
truth, the God-fearing. (The Noble Quran, 2:177)"
"Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with
Abraham About his Lord, because God had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is
He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said
Abraham: "But it is God that causeth the sun to rise from the east (almashriqi): Do thou then cause him
to rise from the West (almaghribi)." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance)
rejected faith. Nor doth God Give guidance to a people unjust. (The Noble Quran, 2:258)"
"(Moses) said: "Lord of the East (almashriqi) and the West (waalmaghribi), and all
between! if ye only had sense!" (The Noble Quran,
26:28)"
"Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his Qareen
(Satan / devil companion)) "Would that between me and you were the distance of the two
easts (almashriqayni)" a worst (type of) companion (indeed)! (The Noble Quran, 43:38)"
"(He is) Lord of the two Easts(almashriqayni) and Lord of the two
Wests (almaghribayni): (The Noble Quran, 55:17)"
"(He is) Lord of the East and the West (almashriqi waalmaghribi): there is no
god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs. (The Noble Quran, 73:9)"
"It was We that made the hills declare, in unison with him,
Our Praises, at eventide (bialAAashiyyi) and at break of day (waal-ishraqi), (The Noble
Quran, 38:18)"
"(He is) Lord of the two Easts (almashriqayni) and Lord of the two
Wests (almaghribayni): (The Noble Quran, 55:17)"
Again, as we clearly see, Dhul-Qarnayn DID NOT go to the
ends of the earth
according to the Noble Quran! Unlike the Bible, for example, with its four corners of the earth,
and other unscientific statements:
Allah Almighty never declared
that Dhul-Qarnayn reached the ends of the earth. No mention of
ends of the
earth in the entire Glorious Quran. Unlike the Bible,
for example, where it talks about earth's "four
corners", the Quran has no such phrases.
Allah Almighty never Said
that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached the "ends of the
earth" where the sun supposedly rises and sets. The Glorious
Quran says clearly that the
earth is spherical [2].
Also on the contrary, it is the Bible that says that:
The earth has
ends.
It is
standing on pillars that prevent it from shaking.
GOD Almighty
will shake the earth to throw the people into space.
Clearly, the
Glorious Quran is in no scientific blunder regarding the shape of

the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!”
(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the
horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."
(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)
Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said
this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على
قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغ
where the sun is up
مطلع
الشمس,
he found it above
وجدها تطلع على
people
قوم
whom We
made no cover for them from it
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر.
(The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
Noble Verse(s)
18:91
Rodwell:
[018:091]
Thus it was.
And we had
full knowledge
of the forces that were with him.
Arabic (Read from right to
left. Also, all png image files: [1]

18:91 كذلك
وقد احطنا
بما لديه خبرا
Prophet Muhammad
"did see"
(Quran 53.18)
the
Aurora Lights
covering the horizons above the earth from
space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the
farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and
"Thus
it was", Allah Almighty
completed the "full
knowledge" regarding
Dhil-Qarnayn's mission.
This
further supports the story below about
Dhil-Qarnayn's journey
to the farthest northern lands and people (The
sunsetless [4]
North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:
This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91
are also prophetically linked together;
that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين
saw. Also visit:
-
The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran
predicts 11 planets in our
solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:
1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
(b)- No mention of Aayn or Hufra in this Noble Verse:
"Until, when he came (balagha) to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had
provided no covering protection against the sun. (The
Noble Quran, 18:90)"
Notice here that Allah Almighty did not mention any spring (aayn)
or hole/pit (hufra) that the sun came from. This further proves:
1- Dhul-Qarnayn did not go to the "ends of the earth".
2- The earth doesn't have two "springs" and/or
"holes" that it rises and sets through.
In the sub-section below, "Balagha is used for time
determination since clocks didn't exist back then!",
we will see how "balagha" was used for determining time since clocks didn't
exist back then.
People determined time and date through the:
1- Sun.
2- Moon.
3- Lines in the sky (day breaks, even breaks, etc...).
4- Stars.
Sun rise and sun
set were another form of time determination. It was one of the clocks 1500 year ago!
Noble Verse 18:85, 89 & 92:
(a)- The speech in these Noble Verses:
"Then followed he (another) way, (The Noble Quran, 18:85)"
"Then followed he (another) way, (The Noble Quran, 18:89)"
"Then followed he (another) way, (The Noble Quran, 18:92)"
The speech in Noble Verses 18:85,89 & 92 is clear that Dhul-Qarnayn walked or marched
for short distances and did not go to the ends of the earth!
"thumma ittaba'a sababa", literally read as:
thumma - then.
ittaba'a - he walked; he followed;
he proceeded. It could also mean he continued to
walk/follow/proceed.
sababa - path; way; avenue.
The text just doesn't at all say or refer to Dhul-Qarnayn going
to the farthest western point on earth where the sun sets, and then he went back to the
farthest eastern point on earth where the sun rises, and then went back somewhere in the
middle and stopped at between two mountains!
In fact, no where in any of the Noble Verses are the words "back" or "ends of the earth"
mentioned!
In fact, no
where in the entire Noble Quran is "ends of
the earth" mentioned!
2- "balagha" is metaphoric and "yudrik" is literal:
Notice how the leader, in this video clip, and the soldiers
were shouting "ADRIKOOHUM !!"
(derived from yudrik),
which means "go chase them down and bring them back". It
literally means go and physically reach
them, while balagha, on the other hand, is used for time and metaphors.
This section is divided into the following sub-sections:
1- Balagha is
not literal.
2- Balagha is used for time determination since clocks didn't
exist back then!
3- Yudrik and
tudrik are literal.
4- Further
proofs from the word "adraaka".
5- So why would GOD
Almighty speak in such a complex and confusing way?
Let us look at the following ample Noble Verses to set the record clear once and for
all regarding the two Arabic words "balagha" and "yudrik".
1- Balagha is not
literal!
Let us look at the following Noble Verses:
"Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?"
Say: "God is witness between me and you; This Quran hath been revealed to me by
inspiration, that I (Prophet Muhammad) may warn you and all whom it reaches (balagha). Can ye possibly bear witness that besides God there is
another God?" Say: "Nay! I cannot bear witness!" Say: "But in truth He
is the one God, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining others with
Him." (The Noble Quran, 6:19)"
Here in this Noble Verse, the word balagha is referring to those men and women of
mankind who will hear about the Noble Quran in their life.
Obviously, Prophet
Muhammad is not alive today to
"warn" anyone!
"Balagha" here is rather more symbolic and metaphoric!
اذ جاؤوكم من فوقكم ومن اسفل منكم واذا
زاغت الابصار وبلغت القلوب
الحناجر وتظنون بالله الظنونا
[033:010] When they came upon
you from above you and from below you, and when the eyes grew wild and the
hearts reached(بلغت
balaghat) to the throats, and you were harbouring
doubts about Allah.
The hearts didn't literally reach the
throats. Ample more Noble Verses on
BALAGHA are listed below.
"When Joseph attained (balagha) His full manhood, We
gave him power and knowledge: thus do We reward those who do right. (The Noble Quran, 12:22)"
Notice, no specific age or range of age was given. "Balagha"
here is rather a symbolic term that says that when Joseph became mature enough and grown
enough, GOD Almighty then "gave him power and
knowledge...." Nothing physical was touched or
reached by "balagha"
in this Noble Verse.
"But when the children among you come (balagha) of age, let them
(also) ask for permission, as do those senior to them (in age): Thus does God make clear
His Signs to you: for God is full of knowledge and wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 24:59)"
"When he reached (balagha) full age, and was firmly established (in life), We bestowed
on him wisdom and knowledge: for thus do We reward those who do good. (The Noble Quran, 28:14)"
"Then, when (the son) reached (balagha) (the age of) (serious) work with
him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice:
Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art
commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
(The Noble Quran, 37:102)"
Notice again in these Noble Verses, no specific age or range of
age was given. It is open, especially for Noble Verse 24:59, because it depends on the child's personality, gender, and the
environment that he/she was raised in. These factors will determine when his/her
parents will decide on when he/she has "grown up".
When the child is "grown up",
then the rules would apply to him/her.
No age limitation
or restriction was given here. Each child is different!
"But when they reached (balagha) the Junction, they
forgot (about) their Fish, which took its course through the sea (straight) as in a
tunnel. (The Noble Quran, 18:61)"
"Until, when he reached (balagha) the setting of the sun,
he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O
Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with
kindness." (The Noble Quran, 18:86)"
"Until, when he came (balagha) to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for
whom We had provided no covering protection against the sun. (The
Noble Quran, 18:90)"
These three Noble Verses are talking about physical places in
unspecified locations.
"Until, when he reached (balagha) between two mountains,
he found, beneath them, a people who scarcely understood a word. (The Noble Quran, 18:93)"
Again, this Noble Verse is talking about Dul-Qarnayn reaching a random spot in a land
where people lived in a land that expanded between two vast mountains. He didn't
necessarily, at first, reach where they were living. Notice "he found, beneath them...." So
Dhul-Qarnayn was some where up there on one of the mountains looking down at the village
or the town or country side that the people lived in.
"We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain
did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child)
to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches (balagha) the age of full strength and
attains (balagha) forty years,
he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has
bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou
mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly
do I bow (to Thee) in Islam." (The Noble Quran,
46:15)"
In this Noble Verse, Allah Almighty first Said that when the man reaches the full age (the same exact Arabic Words for in Noble Verses 12:22 and 28:14 (balagha
ashuddah)), and then becomes 40 years old. While "balagha"
here is used for the exact reaching of the age of 40, but the context that it was used in
the Noble Verse is that when the man reaches his full age and reaches 40 years old and
beyond, he will be more thankful to GOD Almighty and to his parents, because he will most
probably be a father with growing children then, and he will appreciate the role that his
parents played when they raised him, and the hardship that they went through from emotions
(caring for him and worrying about him getting hurt) and
physical hardship (his mother beast-feeding him in the middle of the
night, and his father working hard to provide for him).
So even in this Noble Verse, "balagha" is used
more symbolically than literally.
2- Balagha is used for time determination since clocks didn't exist
back then!
When people spoke of time and time determination, such as what time to perform a prayer
from the 5-daily Prayers, they relied mostly and heavily on:
1- The
sun. Dawn for instance was the time for the morning prayer.
2- The pink
or reddish line in the sky determined the evening daily prayer and the ending of the Ramadan fasting for the day.
3- The moon
determined the start of night.
And so on....
The word "balagha" when referring to any heavenly object was mainly used for
determining the time of the day. For instance, when the Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") talk about the pink
or reddish line in the sky appearing so that they can start the evening daily prayer and
end the fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, they say a phrase such as:
"Balagha al-khattu al-ahmar haddah", which means
"The red line has reached its limit"
Of course, the phrase can be different from person to person, but
the word "balagha" would be mainly used for such time determination, because
again, clocks did not exist 1500 years ago.
So balagha, maghrib al-shams, and matliAAa al-shams in Noble
Verses 18:86 & 90, were referring to the time in the day that Dhul-Qarnayn
reached the mentioned places, and not the actual physical places themselves, because the
sun via its rising and setting is used for time determination.
Now as to the two mountains in Noble Verse 18:93, that is
probably literal (although even in this Noble Verse balagha here is
giving a very general place and not a specific location), because the words "between two mountains" are referring to an actual place
that Dhul-Qarnayn finally arrived to and not a metaphoric one.
3- Yudrik and tudrik are literal!
Let us look at the following Noble Verses and set of Hadiths (Sayings of Prophet
Muhammad):
"It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up (tudrik) the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip
the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (falak) (according to Law). (The Noble Quran,
36:40)"
"It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and
the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course (falak). (The
Noble Quran, 21:33)"
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was asked if the sun and the moon
would ever collide while they are rising and setting above the earth. Allah Almighty
responded to them by Saying that neither the sun will ever catch up with the moon, nor
will the moon ever catch up with the sun. On the contrary, each one of them
is swimming in its own orbit (falak)! They are not on the same orbit (falak).
Of course, on Judgement Day, things will be different, and all of
the stars and the planets will explode and collide with each others as Allah Almighty
Said:
"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a
scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first
creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We
fulfil it. (The Noble Quran, 21:104)"
"Nay! When the earth is pounded to
powder, (The Noble Quran, 89:21)"
"And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed
to powder at one stroke, - (The Noble
Quran, 69:14)"
It is predicted in the Noble Quran that the earth will be pounded with asteroids (a
nuclear attack from outer space) before Judgement Day and its mountains will be leveled to
a flat crushed sand.
"No vision can grasp (tudrik-hu) Him, but His grasp (yudrik) is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is
acquainted with all things. (The Noble Quran, 6:103)"
Here in this Noble Verse, the visions of GOD Almighty's creations
can not see Him, but He, the Almighty, can see all. This is literal and not
metaphoric.
""Wherever ye are, death will find you out (yudrikkumu), even if ye are in towers built
up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is
from God"; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say:
"All things are from God." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to
understand a single fact? (The Noble Quran, 4:78)"
Here in this Noble Verse, Allah Almighty is saying that no one
can escape death! Again, this is literal and not metaphoric.
"He who forsakes his home in the cause of God, finds in the
earth Many a refuge, wide and spacious: Should he die (yudrik-hu almawtu) as a refugee
from home for God and His Apostle, His reward becomes due and sure with God: And God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 4:100)"
Again, death in this Noble Verse is literal and not metaphoric.
There is no
question that "yudrik" and
"tudrik" are literal while "balagha"
above is metaphoric!
4- Further proofs from the word "adraaka":
The Arabic word "adraaka", which means to come to complete comprehension or
to fully know, is derived from the root word "idraak", which also the words
"yudrik" and "tudrik" above are derived from. "idraak"
literally means to reach the complete knowledge of or to reach the end of. Also,
another root word that is equal to "idraak" is "adraka", which means
the same thing.
Some examples of adraka:
1- George
finally adraka (realized; comprehended; reached the reality of) that he
was wrong!
2- When the
lion adraka (got a hold of; reached) his prey, he killed it and began to
eat it!
3- The
American soldiers adrakoo (plural of adraka) Saddam Hussein's fox hole
that he was hiding in, and they arrested him after that.
4- The
British civilian jet balaghat the US' air space from the
international waters over the Atlantic ocean.
Here no specific location is given regarding the airplane. All we know is that
the airplane was detected by the Radar or Satellite and that it is now over the US space
(either water or soil) in general. While the radar can certainly pin point the
airplane, but the Arabic word balaghat here is used for general and unspecified location.
5- (Sorry for
this insensible example. I certainly do not mean to be inconsiderate to the American
reader especially my dear American Muslim brothers and sisters, but rather I am trying to
prove a point)
The hijacked airplane adrakat the south tower of the world
trade center building on 9/11/2001!
Here balaghat would be grammatically
WRONG! Adrakat is the proper word because we are now pin
pointing an exact location where the airplane flew to. We do not even need to say
that the airplane crashed into the building, because Arabic is a poetical language, and
adrakat here in this sentence would suffice that, because adrakat is for
precise reachings while balaghat is for general ones that would also include
symbolic and metaphoric ones.
Notice again that
we do not even need to say that the airplane
crashed into the building!
In the Arabic grammar, the word "balagha" can not be substituted in the above
sentences, because it would be grammatically wrong. "balagha" is not
literal.
1- I can't
say the lion balagha his prey when I am trying to say that he hunted it down.
2- I can't
say that the American soldiers "balaghoo" (plural of balagha) Saddam Hussein
when I am referring to an actual physical confrontation and arrest.
3- I can't
say that George "balagha" that he was wrong.
etc...
Same thing with Noble Verses 18:86, 18:90, 18:93 above about the rising and setting of
the sun. Because Allah Almighty used the word "balagha" in all of them and
not "adraka" or any word derived from it such as "yudrik", then it is
quite clear that the speech is metaphoric and not literal.
That is why Allah Almighty used the word "tudrik", not balagha, in
Noble Verse 36:40 above when He addressed the question about the sun and the moon ever
colliding with each others!
Colliding is a
physical event, not symbolic!
Again, I renew my challenge:
If the sun literally set in a murky lake or sea or ocean, then this means that it would
have to stay inside that body of water for the night and rise the next morning from the
WEST, not the EAST!
Have the sun
ever risen from the west? No!
Let us look at the following Noble verses:
"And what will make thee realise (adraaka) what the Sure Reality
is? (The Noble Quran, 69:3)"
"And what will explain to thee (adraaka) what Hell-Fire is?
(The Noble Quran, 74:27)"
"And what will explain to thee(adraaka) what is the Day of
Sorting out? (The Noble Quran, 77:14)"
"Again, what will explain to thee (adraaka) what the Day of
Judgment is? (The Noble Quran, 82:18)"
"And what will explain to thee (adraaka) what the (Day) of
Noise and Clamour is? (The Noble Quran, 101:3)"
In these Noble Verses, Allah Almighty is referring to the the
literal knowledge about the Day of Judgement , its timing and the details of events that
will take place in it. The Prophet, peace be upon him, was asked several times about
the Day of Judgement and it will come. Allah Almighty responded by saying that only
Him, the Almighty, Know when Judgement Day will come, and what the details of it will be.
Notice how "adraaka" is used for literal events and not
metaphoric ones.
"Day! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
And what will explain to thee (adraaka) what Sijjin is? (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed. Woe, that Day,
to those that deny- (The Noble Quran, 83:7-10)"
"Day, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in
'Illiyin. And what will explain to thee (adraaka) what 'Illiyun is? (There is) a Register (fully) inscribed, (The Noble Quran, 83:18-20)"
In these Noble Verses, Allah Almighty is talking about the actual
records that keep track of every person's deeds. Allah Almighty further said in the
Noble Quran:
"Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight
of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of
evil, shall see it. (The Noble Quran,
99:7-8)"
He, the Almighty, also said:
"In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion
thou mayest be reciting from the Quran,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We
are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord
(so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least
and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record.
(The Noble Quran, 10:61)"
"There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance
dependeth on God: He knoweth the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary
deposit: All is in a clear Record. (The Noble Quran, 11:6)"
"Knowest thou not that God knows all that is in heaven and
on earth? Indeed it is all in a Record, and that is easy for God.
(The Noble Quran, 22:70)"
"Nor is there aught of the unseen, in heaven or earth, but
is (recorded) in a clear record. (The
Noble Quran, 27:75)"
"The Unbelievers say, "Never to us will come the
Hour": Say, "Nay! but most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you;- by Him
Who knows the unseen,- from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the heavens or on
earth: Nor is there anything less than that, or greater, but is in the Record
Perspicuous: (The Noble Quran, 34:3)"
"And the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord: the
Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will
be brought forward and a just decision pronounced between them; and they will not be
wronged (in the least). (The Noble Quran, 39:69)"
"Every matter, small and great, is on record. (The Noble Quran, 54:53)"
"No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but
is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: That is truly easy
for God: (The Noble Quran, 57:22)"
"Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand
will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record! (The Noble Quran, 69:19)"
"And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will
say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me!
(The Noble Quran, 69:25)"
"And all things have We preserved on record. (The Noble Quran, 78:29)"
Further more with "adraaka":
"By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- And what will
explain to thee (adraaka) what the Night-Visitant is?- (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-
There is no soul but has a protector over it. Now let man but think from what he is
created! (The Noble Quran, 86:1-5)"
"And shown him the two highways? But he hath made no haste
on the path that is steep. And what will explain to thee (adraaka) the path that is
steep?- (It is:) freeing the bondman; Or the giving of food in a day of privation. To the
orphan with claims of relationship, Or to the indigent (down) in the dust. Then will he be
of those who believe, and enjoin patience, (constancy, and self-restraint), and enjoin
deeds of kindness and compassion. Such are the Companions of the Right Hand. But those who
reject Our Signs, they are the (unhappy) Companions of the Left Hand. On them will be Fire
vaulted over (all round). (The Noble Quran, 90:10-20)"
"We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of
Power: And what will explain to thee (adraaka) what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand
months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God's permission, on every errand:
Peace!...This until the rise of morn! (The Noble Quran,
97:1-5)" This is a
blessed day during the Fasting Month of Ramadan when the Noble Quran was first revealed to
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
"But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found)
light,- Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit. And what will explain to thee
(adraaka) what this
is? (It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely! (The Noble Quran,
101:8-12)"
"Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter, Who
pileth up wealth and layeth it by, Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces, And what will explain
to thee (adraaka)
That which Breaks to Pieces? (It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) God kindled (to a blaze),
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: It shall be made into a vault over them, In
columns outstretched. (The Noble Quran, 104:1-9)"
Notice again in these Noble Verses and in all of the Noble Verses above that used the
Noble Word "adraaka", Allah Almighty used "adraaka" in literal sense.
The details of Hell Fire, Judgement Day, the Records of Deeds, the Night of Power,
etc..., all of these are literal events and objects that GOD Almighty Created for and
against Mankind.
There is no question
that "adraaka", like "yudrik" and "tudrik", is literal
and not metaphoric or symbolic!
5- Were the Gog and
Magog in (18:93-101)
a tribe of the nation of Gog and Magog, or were they the entire nation?
Were the Gog and Magog a small
group of them, or were they the entire nation in Noble Verses
18:93-101? It is clear that
they were a small tribe/group of them that was wicked, and perhaps full of
bullying and trouble, dishonesty, and nuisance to peace. And it seems that
the main route between them and the town that Dhul-Qarnayn had reached was
between the two mountains, which Dhul-Qarnayn had sealed with the Iron Gates.
3- Further clear-cut proofs from the moon in the Noble Quran!
The moon and what people thought about the moon, 1500 years ago, further proves that Noble Verses 18:86 and 18:90 are
metaphoric and not literal. Let us consider the following analysis:
1-No where is it documented that people in Arabia used to think that the moon would
set in a hole on earth. People always viewed it as a planet that went around the
earth.
2-
When solar eclipses occur, the moon comes exactly in front of the sun and covers
its light. This means that the sun is farther than the moon. In fact, Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, knew about the solar eclipses:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: "The Prophet ordered us to
free slaves at the time of solar eclipses. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 46, Number 695)"
Narrated Abu Bakra: "The solar eclipse occurred while we
were sitting with the Prophet He got up dragging his garment (on the ground) hurriedly
till he reached the mosque The people turned (to the mosque) and he offered a two-Rak'at
prayer whereupon the eclipse was over and he traced us and said,
"The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah, so if you see a thing
like this (eclipse) then offer the prayer and invoke Allah till He remove that
state," (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7,
Book 72, Number 676)"
Allah Almighty also talked about the eclipse of
the moon in the Noble Quran:
"And the moon is eclipsed. (The Noble Quran, 75:8)"

When Allah Almighty spoke about the moon in the Noble Quran, He said that it is
swimming in its own orbit (falak). He Said the same about the sun:
"It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up (tudrik) the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip
the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (falak) (according to Law). (The Noble Quran,
36:40)"
"It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and
the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course (falak). (The
Noble Quran, 21:33)"
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was asked if the sun and the moon
would ever collide while they are rising and setting above the earth. Allah Almighty
responded to them by Saying that neither the sun will ever catch up with the moon, nor
will the moon ever catch up with the sun. On the contrary, each one of them
is swimming in its own orbit (falak)! They are not on the same orbit (falak).
Of course, on Judgement Day, things will be different, and all of
the stars and the planets will explode and collide with each others as Allah Almighty
Said:
"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a
scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first
creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We
fulfil it. (The Noble Quran, 21:104)"
"Nay! When the earth is pounded to
powder, (The Noble Quran, 89:21)"
"And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed
to powder at one stroke, - (The Noble
Quran, 69:14)"
It is predicted in the Noble Quran that the earth will be pounded with asteroids (a
nuclear attack from outer space) before Judgement Day and its mountains will be leveled to
a flat crushed sand.

If Allah Almighty truly Said that the sun sets on earth in Noble
Verses 18:86 and 18:90, then this means that the MOON
TOO SETS ON EARTH!
Show me where
in the Noble Quran did Allah Almighty declare that the moon sets on earth!
This is
the short version of the long article below.
Allah Almighty said this about the moon's
S-shaped orbit around the earth:
36:39والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى
عادكالعرجون
القديم
"And
We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends upعادlooking like an old date
branch
كالعرجون
القديم. 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.
(Qur'an, 36:39-40)"

The Prophecies of the Iron Gates did come true, and the Iron Gates were found!
To further support my proofs above, it is important to know that the Iron Gates were
found, and the description that the Noble Quran Gave perfectly matched their geographic
location. I have detailed explanations and proofs about this in the following
article:
The Glorious Quran again and again
has proven Itself to be the Divine Miracle of Allah Almighty.
