Koran says in sura Ar-rahman that the moon follows the sun and both are revolving around the earth.?

Question

Does modern science accepts this fact that sun is revolving?

Answer 1

I can't speak for that book, but the Bible gives truths which are not intended to be scientific explanations, but are intended to express things in a way that people with no scientific background could understand the point. If and when we see the events predicted in the book of Revelation, like the moon turned to blood, we'll recognize that it didn't become red and white corpuscles in plasma, but we'll understand that it's a good way to describe what you see when you look at it. Today, we know the sun doesn't rise and set, but it's still a useful way to talk about it.

Answer 2

It says, "the sun and moon follow a reckoning" that doesn't necessarily mean that they revolve around the earth. If you think about, it could just mean that we would perceive them in a set path, from the ground we can't tell what revolves around what, but we can tell that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west as with the moon. By the way it's "Qur'an" just thought I'd let you know, try reading one.

Answer 3

i am a muslim
and u have not undertand
First, Every scientific FACT is not in difference with koran

the sun is not stationary, it also goes ariund it self and in the space around something science have not known until now...but not around the earth

quran says that the sun moon.........all.......swim along a WAY......( has not said around the earth)

and another aya says that earth and what makes it like an egg

i can not translate.........but all scientific facts has made us better understanding the quran........and its meanings........not to be in problem like what happened with the bible and the modern sciences.

Answer 4

No. We are in a heliocentric universe that the earth revolves around the sun.

Answer 5

Modern science does not accept this term.
