researching the beliefs of muslims and christians, i have found the muslim belief is terribly off. the sun doesnt sink in a muddy swamp. while the bible has many scientific discoveries to back it up. So if the bible keeps being strong in truth what reasons do muslims follow their belief for besides been brought up with that religon. I could name dozens of proof for the bible and none for the muslim faith.

Oh, please do NOT say the bible claims scientific discoveries! Long before the bible was ever an idea in some socks-and-sandals scribe's brain ... the pagans (druids) and Greeks had charted the stars and understood the rotation of the planets around the sun. The bible only repeated what was common knowledge by some during that time.

Muslims believe this passage is symbolic for the Sun setting below the horizon, creating a hazy murky look.

This is similar apologetics to when Christian attempt to explain why the Bible says the earth is flat and immobile.

Guess what exists outside of 'the realm of nature'? Nothing! A void. That which cannot be tested for, does not exist. Also, if god were 'metaphysical', he could be tested for. Theological debates are groundless, based in wish thinking and neck deep in superstition. Your argument is a total non-sequitr.

Islam is a bad plagiarism of Judaism. The Koran is a through-the-looking-glass version of the Hebrew scriptures. Abraham (Ibrahim) did not take Isaac for sacrifice, he took Ishmael. Miriam, the sister of Moses becomes, after over a thousand years, the mother of Jesus. Allah is not the god of Abraham but, historically, is the Babylonian moon god and god of sexual fertility. The only scientific fact about Islam is that it has wreaked havoc on the world from the days of the Barbary Pirates until the Hizballah of today.

YUSUFALI TRANSLATION : Until, when he reached 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."

PICKTHAL TRANSLATION : Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.

SHAKIR TRANSLATION : Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a Black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit.

Journey towards West

"The limit where the twin suns set" does not mean the "place" of the setting of the sun. According to Ibn Kathir, it means that he marched to the West conquering one country after the other until he reached the last boundary of the land, beyond which there was ocean. "He found the sun setting in black muddy waters of the sea": if Dhul-Qarnain was Cyrus, then that place would be the western limit of Asia Minor and the "black waters" would be the Aegean Sea. This interpretation is supported by the use of the word "`ain" instead of "bahr" in the Qur'an.

There are no scientific proofs that Islam is true. There are no scientific proofs that christianity is true. If you think there are, you're wrong.

the only thing I trust about Islam is that it is a hateful religion.
