Is it possible for the sun to rise from the West and for the moon to be swallowed by the sun relatively quickly?
The sections of this article:
1- The Noble Quran's and the Hadiths' Claims.
2- The Scientific Proofs.
(a)- Yes,
Scientists have proven that the
sun could rise from the West relatively quickly!
(b)- The point from all of this.
3- Conclusion.
1- The Noble Quran's and the Hadiths' Claims:
Allah Almighty Said: "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
With this said, let us now look at what Allah Almighty Said in the Noble Quran:
1- The earth will be pounded with asteroids:
| Noble Verse(s) 89:21 |
| Dr. Munir
Munshey: [089:021] No, of course not! (On the day) when the earth is pounded repeatedly and crushed. Arabic (from right to left): 89:21 كلا اذا دكت الارض دكا دكا |
2- The sun will swallow the moon:
| Noble Verse(s) 75:9 |
| Dr. Munir
Munshey: [075:009] And the sun and the moon are made to run into each other. Arabic (from right to left): 75:9 وجمع الشمس والقمر |
Important Note: The moon doesn't necessarily have to unite with the sun immediately when the Hour comes. The event is definitely going to happen because Allah Almighty Said so, but the timing of this event might happen later, perhaps after all life on earth ends completely. It could also happen during or before life ends on earth as well. The point is that the timing of the event is only known by Allah Almighty Alone, all Praise and Glory are due to Him Alone.
3-
The iron was sent down to earth from space.
4- The earth will lose much of its mass and gravity. See the ample Noble Verses and proofs.
5- The sun will rise from the West while Judgment
Day Comes:
Narrated Abu Dhar: "The Prophet asked me at sunset, 'Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?' I replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better.' He said, 'It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: 'And the sun Runs its fixed course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing.' (36.38) (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Beginning of Creation, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 421)"
Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, 'The Hour will not be established........and till the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it.' (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Afflictions and the End of the World, Volume 9, Book 88, Number 237)"
6- The Cosmic Crunch will roll up all of the
Universe as rolling up of the scrolls:
"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 fulfill it. (The Noble Quran, 21:104)"
NASA had this to say about the Geometric Shape of the Universe:
"The simplest version of the inflationary theory, an extension of the Big Bang theory, predicts that the density of the universe is very close to the critical density, and that the geometry of the universe is flat, like a sheet of paper. That is the result confirmed by the WMAP science." (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_shape.html)

7- It is Allah Almighty that is preventing the Universe from falling into a disarray, until He Wills it through the Cosmic Crunch when the Hour Comes:
"Indeed it is Allah Who holds the heavens and the earth (under control), and keeps them from falling into disarray. There is no one except He, Who can hold them together, should they break loose and deviate. Of course, He is the most Forbearing, the most Forgiving! (The Noble Quran, 35:41)"
8- When the Hour Comes, the seas will massively
rise, the earth will be in total shaking and chaos, the so much more:
"And when the seas rise, (The Noble Quran, 81:6)"
Also, again, The earth will lose much of its mass and gravity.
9- The Hour will come very sudden and unexpectedly. See the ample Noble Verses and proofs.
So, putting all of the above Noble Verses and Hadiths together, could it really
happen unexpectedly and in a short time?
2- The Scientific Proofs:
The following scientific articles prove that yes, all of the events above could happen in a very short period of time, and unexpectedly:
Article #1:
The earth tilted because of an asteroid's collision. This could happen in the future, and major earth-tilts would also occur if the moon were to deviate away, causing the sun to rise from the West:
Article #2:
The earth's gravity is what is what locks the moon's orbit. If the gravity lessens, then the moon will rapidly orbit off from earth and eventually be swallowed by the sun:
Article #3:
As the moon moves away from earth, the seas will rise. This film-clip is for point #8 above:
Article #4:
Iron increased the earth's gravity and mass, and it currently makes much of the earth's core and gravity:
Please visit: The iron was sent down to earth from space.
Article #5:
Again, The earth will lose much of its mass and gravity.
Article #6:
The Cosmic Crunch will occur by rolling up the Universe like the rolling up of scrolls.
The Point from all of this:
The point from all of these Scientific references is not to try to predict or calculate how things will precisely happen when Allah Almighty Wills for Hour to Come, but rather to prove scientifically, through our limited knowledge and science, that nothing is impossible for Allah Almighty, and that yes, it is quite possible:
1- For the sun to rise from the West.
2- For the earth to lose much of its gravity.
3- For the moon to deviate and to be swallowed by the sun.
Important Note: The moon doesn't necessarily have to unite with the sun immediately when the Hour comes. The event is definitely going to happen because Allah Almighty Said so, but the timing of this event might happen later, perhaps after all life on earth ends completely. It could also happen during or before life ends on earth as well. The point is that the timing of the event is only known by Allah Almighty Alone, all Praise and Glory are due to Him Alone.
4- For the seas to rise due to the moon's deviation.
5- For the Hour to come suddenly and unexpectedly.
These are Islamic predictions and scientific theories that are now strongly supported by the Scientific discoveries that I presented above, and more.
3- Conclusion:
Again, the Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood. The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.
Allah Almighty Said: "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and inside their selves, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
1- The rolling up of the Universe as a flat scroll of paper through the Cosmic Crunch (which had been already confirmed by NASA).
2- And the moon's deviation from the earth (also recently confirmed).
3- And the major changes to the earth's tilt due to future asteroids' poundings and/or the the moon's deviation, which would then cause it to possibly tilt upside down and make the sun rise from the West,
would happen, especially when we already have ample Islamic quotes and references to these events, as I have listed above, and much more.
Also, let's not forget that when the Cosmic Crunch is due, the Universe's collapse will cause for many things that sound far fetch to happen, perhaps in a relatively very short period of time. So it is quite possible that the sun will appear to rise from the West when the Cosmic Crunch occur, if it causes the earth to turn upside down:
"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 fulfill it. (The Noble Quran, 21:104)"
And NASA, again, confirmed the geometric shape of the Universe to be flat:
"The simplest version of the inflationary theory, an extension of the Big Bang theory, predicts that the density of the universe is very close to the critical density, and that the geometry of the universe is flat, like a sheet of paper. That is the result confirmed by the WMAP science." (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_shape.html)
And again, the point from all of the above Scientific references is not to try to predict or calculate how things will precisely happen when Allah Almighty Wills for Hour to Come, because we will never be able to do that, but rather to prove scientifically, through our limited knowledge and science, that nothing is impossible for Allah Almighty, and that yes, it is quite possible and logical:
1- For the sun to rise from the West.
2- For the earth to lose much of its gravity.
3- For the moon to deviate and to eventually be swallowed by the sun.
Important Note: Again, the moon doesn't necessarily have to unite with the sun immediately when the Hour comes. The event is definitely going to happen because Allah Almighty Said so, but the timing of this event might happen later, perhaps after all life on earth ends completely. It could also happen during or before life ends on earth as well. The point is that the timing of the event is only known by Allah Almighty Alone, all Praise and Glory are due to Him Alone.
4- For the seas to rise due to the moon's deviation.
5- For the Hour to come suddenly and unexpectedly.
These are Islamic predictions and scientific theories that are now strongly supported by the Scientific discoveries that I presented above, and more. And as I mentioned, much of the facts that were mentioned in the Glorious Quran about the Universe had already been confirmed by Science.
Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty alone for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.

| The S-shaped moon orbit!
It is also relevant to know that Allah Almighty described the shape of the moon's entire orbit around the earth as a shape of an old and dried-out date tree's branch, also scientifically known and confirmed today as S-shaped. The shape of the old and dried-out branch of a date tree does resemble the letter "S". I provided images in the article that prove this. |
| The egg-shaped
earth's orbit!
This is not the only time Allah Almighty used a notion for astronomy. In another Noble Verse, He described the shape of the earth's orbit around the sun as egg-shaped which had also been confirmed by science. Please visit: If the Noble Quran says the earth is "egg-shaped" through a Notion, then why couldn't Prophet Muhammad just say it clear in plain Arabic? with detailed proofs demonstrating the miracle of the Word/Notion "dahaha". |
