The final response to the doubt about the hadith of the sun prostrating under the throne

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Christians and atheists
often repeat the doubtful hadiths about the sun prostrating under the Throne. These hadiths came with different wording in Bukhari, Muslim, Musnad Ahmad, and Sunan al-Tirmidhi. They are as follows: The Beginning of Creation - Hadith 1 - Sahih Bukhari


Muhammad ibn Yusuf told us Sufyan told us on the authority of al-A’mash on the authority of Ibrahim al-Taymi on the authority of his father on the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Abu Dharr when the sun sets : Do you know where it goes? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It goes until it prostrates under the Throne , then asks permission and it is given permission. It is about to prostrate but it is not accepted from it, then it asks permission but it is not given permission. It is told: Go back from where you came, then it rises from its place of setting. This is what Allah the Almighty said: And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the determination of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. And His Throne is over the water, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne - Tawhid - Hadith 2 - Sahih Bukhari Yahya ibn Ja’far told us Abu Muawiyah, on the authority of Al-A’mash, on the authority of Ibrahim, he is Al-Taymi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Dharr, who said: I entered the mosque and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting. When the sun set , he said: O Abu Dharr, do you know where this sun goes? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It goes asking permission to prostrate, and it is given permission, and it is as if it has been told to go back from where you came, and it rises from its place of setting. Explanation of the time in which faith is not accepted - Faith - First Hadith - Sahih Muslim






Yahya bin Ayoub and Ishaq bin Ibrahim told us, both on the authority of Ibn Ulayyah. Ibn Ayoub said : Yunus told us, on the authority of Ibrahim bin Yazid Al-Taymi, who heard it, as far as I know, on the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him , that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said one day: Do you know where this sun goes ? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: This one runs until it reaches its resting place under the Throne, then it falls down in prostration, and it does not stop until it is told: Rise up, go back from where you came, and it returns and rises from its place of rising. Then It runs until it reaches its resting place under the Throne , then it falls down in prostration, and it remains like that until it is told, “Rise and go back from whence you came.” So it goes back and rises in the morning from its rising place. Then it runs, and people do not find it strange anything about it, until it reaches its resting place under the Throne, then it is told, “Rise and go back from where you came.” So it rises in the morning from where it rose. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Do you know when that will be?” “That is the time.” The Day when faith will not benefit a soul if it did not believe before or earn any good through its faith. Explanation of the time when faith is not accepted - Faith - Second Hadith - Sahih Muslim



Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us - and the wording is from Abu Kurayb - they said: Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, Al-A’mash narrated to us, on the authority of Ibrahim Al-Taymi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Dharr, who said: I entered the mosque and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting. When the sun set , he said: O Abu Dharr, do you know where this one goes? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It goes and asks permission to prostrate, and permission is given to it, and it is as if it had been told to go back from where you came, and it rises from its west. Musnad Al-Ansar, may Allah be pleased with them - Musnad Ahmad. Muhammad bin Ubayd narrated to us, Al-A’mash narrated to us, on the authority of Ibrahim Al-Taymi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Dharr, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the mosque when the sun set , and he said: O Abu Dharr, He said : Do you know where the sun goes ? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It goes until it prostrates before its Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, and asks permission to return, and it is given permission. It is as if it had been told: Go back from where you came, and it returns to its rising place, and that is its resting place. Then he recited: And the sun runs to its resting place. Book of Tribulations, on the authority of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace - Sunan al-Tirmidhi. Hannad narrated to us, Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, on the authority of al-A’mash, on the authority of Ibrahim al-Taimi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Dharr, who said: I entered the mosque when the sun had set , and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting, so he said: O Abu Dharr, do you know where it goes? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It goes, and asks permission to prostrate, and it is given permission. It is as if it had been told: Rise from where you came, and it rises from the west. Then he recited: And that is its resting place.











Note:
There is hadiththrough the chain of transmission of Sufyan ibn Husayn mentioned in Sunan Abu Dawud and Musnad Ahmad. And Al-Mustadrak Al-Hakim, but many scholars did not accept it for several reasons, including the chain of transmission of the hadith, which is weak by consensus of scholars, and its defect is Sufyan, as it was said about him that there is weakness in his hadiths due to his confusion in them and that he makes many mistakes, as Yaqub bin Shaibah, Uthman bin Abi Shaibah, and Al-Ajli said, and he is not a hafiz, as Abu Dawud and Ibn Ma’in said,
and the text of his hadith contradicts the text of other hadiths that are agreed upon as authentic by scholars. Examples of these differences includethe hadithof Sufyan that mentions that the Prophet was riding his donkey and he was talking to Abu Dharr while they were walking on the road, while in the authentic hadiths it says that the Prophet talked to Abu Dharr inside the mosque while they were sitting, as in his hadith that the sunprostrates in a hot spring, which is not mentioned in the authentic hadiths,
and therefore I will not discuss it due to its weakness and to respond to the doubts raised about the authentic hadiths. To make it easier for the reader, we will show the apparent problems in the hadiths and address each problem separately, which are: 1- The setting of the sun and its movement, and it is known that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around. 2- Reaching its resting place under the throne, and it is known that the sun



It does not walk and stand like a human who walks and stands, and it does not leave its solar system until it goes under the throne.
3- The apparent meaning of the hadiths says that the sun does not prostrate except between its setting and its rising. Scientifically, when the sun is absent from a place, it rises in another place, so it is not permissible for it to prostrate.
4- The connection between the setting of the sun and its going to its resting place and prostration under the throne. It is known that at every moment the sun sets in a place, it rises in another place
. 5- The prostration of the sun under the throne . It is known that the sun does not prostrate like a human prostration , or undergo changes that we see with our eyes, so that we say that at that moment it prostrates to God. 6- The rising and returning of the sun , as it was said to it, so it rises from its rising or rises from its setting. It is known that the rising and setting of the sun is related to the movement of the earth and not to the movement of the sun , and the sun does not rise or return. Now we will respond to each problem separately and begin with God’s blessing.


1- The setting of the sun and its movement. It is known that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around. In response, we say that the setting and moving of the sun is a scientific fact, and of course we do not mean that the sun revolves around the earth. But the fact that the sun does not revolve around the earth does not mean that the sun is stationary and fixed, and this is what science has denied, as it is known that the sun runs and moves in the Milky Way galaxy and moves around the center of the galaxy in a circular manner as in the picture , and thus there is no contradiction between what came in the hadith and the Qur’anic verse that the sun goes and runs to its resting place and what modern science has reached that the sun moves and revolves around the center of the galaxy, so its movement in the Milky Way galaxy around the center of the galaxy is its going and running 2- Reaching its resting place under the throne, and it is known that the sun does not move and stop like a human being who walks and stops, and it does not leave its solar system until it goes under the throne, and in response we say that all scientists agreed that the entire universe is under the throne of the Most Gracious, and thus every moment the sun runs , it is under the throne of the Most Gracious and wants to prostrate under it, but this does not mean that it stops, as it is possible that it wants to prostrate or actually prostrates while it is moving, because the prostration of creatures differs from each other, so the prostration of a human being is not like the prostration of mountains, not like the prostration of seas, not like the prostration of the sun









The moon and it is known by the consensus of scholars that everything prostrates to Allah in this universe. As for reaching a specific place where the sun prostrates or wants to prostrate in, scholars were divided into two groups, neither of which contradicts science.

The first group says : Every moment that passes over the sun and it travels in its galaxy is an arrival at its resting place and it is under the throne of its Lord. This does not mean that the sun leaves its galaxy and goes to a distant place.
The second group says : Although the sun and all creatures are under the throne at all times, it is not necessary for all creatures to be facing the center of the inner part of the throne because the throne is like a dome over the heavens and creatures . The sun has two prostrations: a general, permanent prostration , which is its prostration mentioned in the verses of An-Nahl and Al-Hajj with all creatures, and a special prostration that is achieved when it is aligned with the center of the throne and it is traveling, so it is prostrating under it, which is mentioned in the hadith. This also does not mean that the sun leaves its galaxy and goes to a distant place. Both groups agreed that the sun does not leave its galaxy, but rather it is under the throne and it can be under the center of the inner part of the throne while it is in its galaxy. 3- The apparent meaning of the hadiths says that the sun does not prostrate Except between its setting and rising. Scientifically, when the sun is absent from a place, it rises in another place, so it is not permissible for it to prostrate. In response, we say that all the hadiths state that sunset and sunrise are in the same place. The scholars have said that the sun’s prostration is a thanking of God from the sun for making it complete its work for the people on whom it set. Its setting is the end of its work and benefit for those people on that day. Its prostration after sunset is only its thanking of God for its setting from that place and its performance of its work in that place. Consequently, its prostration while it is rising in one place is a prostration for its setting from another place . 4- The connection between the setting of the sun and its going to its resting place and prostration under the throne . It is known that every moment the sun sets in one place, it rises in another place. In response, we say that the scholars have agreed that the apparent meaning of the hadiths that have been reported on this matter does not oblige us to say that the sun, when it sets from a specific place, does not rise in another place or set from another place except after it has moved and prostrated. It is possible that if it sets from a specific place and during its movement in its galaxy and during its setting on … Another place and its sunrise over another place, it goes to prostrate under the throne and prostrates, and all of this happens at the same time that it set over a place and is still setting over another place and at the same time it rises over another place, and this means that










The sun at every moment sets on a place and travels in its galaxy and wants to prostrate does not negate the fact that the sun at that moment rises on another place or sets on another place. The evidence for that is that the hadiths did not mention that when the sun sets from one place it does not rise on another place except after it travels and prostrates, but the hadith speaks about one place where the sun sets and the sun rises on it , and the meaning is that the sun does not rise on a place except after it travels and wants to prostrate under the throne of its Lord after it sets from the same place. This meaning does not contradict science in light of the consensus of scholars that the prostration of the sun is not like the prostration of humans, and the prostration of the sun under the throne does not require it to leave the galaxy in which it travels. This meaning was accepted by both different groups about the moment of the sun’s prostration under the throne



. The first group says: Every moment that passes bythe sunand travels in its galaxy is an arrival at its resting place and it is under the throne of its Lord. They accepted this meaning because they said that every moment between the sunset of a place and its rising on it, the sun travels in its galaxy and prostrates under the throne. Therefore, they said that the sun is always prostrating, and as soon as it finishes one prostration , it enters into another prostration . And her prostration at that moment is her arrival at her resting place at that moment, like the pilgrim who circumambulates the Kaaba, as soon as he finishes one round and reaches the end of the circumambulation , he begins the other one directly. As for the second section, which says:The sunprostrates when it is facing the center of the inner partof the throne , they also accepted this meaning because they said that the sun is facing the inner part of the throne once every 12 hours according to the time, and the sun is facing the center of the inner part of the throne at a specific moment in time that falls between its setting in a place and its rising in the same place, so half of the earth is at night while the other half is during the day, and at a moment in this period of time, the sun is under the center of the throne, so it prostrates, and in the other half of the day, when the state of the earth is reversed, and at a moment in this period of time, we do not know its amount, the sun is under the center of the throne, so it prostrates. They said that it is not understood from this that the throne is small, even though the sun comes to its center every 12 hours, despite the fact that the sun moves at a very great speed, which makes us say that the throne of God is very large, but the scholars of this group said that God, by His power, makes the center of the throne above the sun.


Every 12 hours, she prostrates herself beneath it, expressing her gratitude after completing her work on half the Earth, because the sun does not cover the entire Earth at one time or set completely on it at one time, but rather illuminates only half the Earth, as in the picture.

5- The sun prostrates under the throne . It is known that the sun does not prostrate like a human being does , nor do changes occur to it that we see with our eyes, so that we can say that at that moment it is prostrating to God. In response, we say that scholars have agreed that the prostration of creatures differs from one another. The prostration of a human being is not like the prostration of mountains, not like the prostration of seas, not like the prostration of the sun and the moon. It is known by the agreement of scholars that everything prostrates to God in this universe, and this does not mean that it stops. It is possible that it wants to prostrate or actually prostrates while it is moving, just as it prostrates in a prostration that only God knows. Scholars have agreed that its prostration does not require it to stop, but rather it can prostrate while it is moving. The evidence for this is that the hadiths did not say that the sun stopped or stopped moving or stopped at its resting place, but rather said until it prostrates or until it reaches its resting place, and this does not require stopping, as scholars have said, but rather it can prostrate while it is moving, and that is its resting place, i.e. its purpose for moving, as scholars have said. 6- The rising and falling of the sun , as it was said, so it rises from its rising place or rises from its setting place. It is known that the rising and setting of the sun is linked to the movement of the earth and not… The movement of the sun, as the sun does not rise or return, and in response we say that the scholars said that it is known that the phrase “as if it had been told to return from where you came” is mentioned in most of the hadiths, and this indicates a likening and not the truth. The one who sees the sun sees it as if it was ordered to return to us or ordered to rise, and no one sees the rotation of the earth or feels it, and this is the greatest evidence that the hadiths confirm that the rising of the sun is not real, but rather it came by way of likening, and its not being mentioned in only two hadiths is only a slip of the tongue of the narrator Muhammad bin Yusuf and the narrator Yahya bin Ja’far, as the scholars said, as the scholars said that in the first hadith of Muslim, in which the phrase “ as if it” is not mentioned and in which the phrase “rise, return” is mentioned , and the first hadith of Bukhari, in which the phrase “as if it” is not mentioned and in which the phrase “return” is mentioned , is only an indication, as is clear from the two hadiths, that its prostration has been completed and perfected, and the scholars of both groups accepted it, whether








they believe thatthe prostration of the sunoccurs twice a day, so there is no contradiction between their statement and the sun finishing its prostration, rather It is supported
by those who say thatthe sunalways prostrates, and they also accepted it, because the sun’s completion of a certain prostration does not mean that it will not prostrate again. Rather, the scholars of this group likened the prostration of …The sun is in the circumambulation of the Kaaba. The completion of the circumambulation of the Kaaba does not mean the end of the circumambulation, but rather he enters directly into the next round.

The scholars said that it is possible that the matter is for the sun in the eye of the one who is looking at it after prostrating, and this does not require real changes to the sun or the earth, because the origin is that people see the sun as it rises from its east, so they know that they are on normal days, or it rises from its west, so they know that they are in the end of time, near the Day of Resurrection.
We see the sun with our eyes moving and returning to us again, so this is God’s command to it, because if God wanted us to see the earth moving, we would have seen it that way, in implementation of God’s will. Or if God wanted the sun to appear small in the middle of the sky, then it continues to grow until noon, then it becomes smaller until it disappears at the end of the day, we would have seen it that way, in implementation of God’s will. But God wanted us to see it moving, returning, and rising. This is like many things that we see with our eyes and they do not affect the movement of the sun or the earth, or changes occur to them, such as seeing a rainbow, a solar eclipse , and a lunar eclipse. These things happen in the eye of the observer without any changes occurring. In fact, on the sun , the moon, or the sky
, and also like what happened with Joshua bin Nun when he stopped the sun in the sky and this came in the Holy Book and in the prophetic hadiths or Isaiah when the sun returned to him ten degrees , so Islamic scholars said that it is possible that these miracles occurred in the eyes of those who watched them only and not on the level of the universe in general, especially since there is no mention of such supernatural phenomena in history or antiquities or in the civilizations of the countries neighboring the place where these miracles
were performed . This is confirmed by the Christian Holy Bible website, where it says that
if the thickness of the air layer increased over an area, it would make the observer from the ground to the sky see as if the sun had returned backwards, which is the same theory that explains the phenomenon of the appearance of more than one sun in the air, although it is one sun , or the phenomenon of seeing the sun after sunset sometimes , which is another type of appearance, which is the effect of Novaya Zemlya, where the sun appears after sunset below the actual line of the horizon , as well as the two hadiths that do not mention the word “as if” and it is understood from them that the sun is the one that returns and rises or that God ordered it to return and rise. If we ignore the hadiths The other one that contains the word “as if” does not necessarily mean that the sun is the one that moves around the earth. It is possible that what is meant is the return and rising of the sun.




Or God’s command to return and rise is the command to the planet Earth to rotate, because the purpose of the command in the original is for people to see the sun with their own eyes as it returns to them once again and rises from its east or west every day near the Day of Resurrection, and the purpose is not the rotation of the Earth in itself. Therefore, when God commands the sun to return to the people on whom it set and to rise for them once again from its east or west, this means commanding the Earth to rotate until the sun returns to the people once again and rises from its east or west. We can imagine this if we imagine the command directed by God and it is said to the sun, “Return to those from whom you set and rise from your rising place” or “Rise from your west,” which leads to the rotation of the Earth until the sun rises in implementation of God’s will and command. This is what happened with Joshua bin Nun when he said, “O sun, remain on Gibeon,and this means that he gave the command to the sun and did not say, “O earth, remain” or “Stand still,” but rather in the command to the sun there is a reference to the earth to stop, and this is if the command is not It is limited to people seeing the sun in Gibeon only
, as the scholars agreed that this does not mean that when the sun sets on a specific place, it rises on it as soon as it sets from it, but the scholars said that this means that it rises on them at the appointed time,

as if the rotation of the earth had been mentioned, the contemporaries of the Prophet would not have understood it, nor even the generations that followed them, and it would have been difficult for them and they would have said, as many said when this theory appeared, that if we spent the evening in Mecca and with the rotation of the earth, we would have become in Taif or Najd.
Here we must point out what the Anba Takla Christian website said in its answer to a question from one of the people, where the questioner said, how does the Holy Bible say that God orders the sun not to rise, and scientifically the earth is the one that rotates, and thus the book was supposed to tell us that God orders the earth not to rotate, not the sun ? The website responded as follows:God tells us the words that we can comprehend, but He does not tell us what we cannot comprehend. The fact that the book says that God ordersthe sunnot to rise does not negate the Earth’s rotation aroundthe sun rather God addresses us according to our minds. We must point out that these hadiths that are the subject of the doubt are themselves responses to the doubt, as the scholars said as follows : 1- The scholars said regarding his statement , may God bless him and grant him peace : “For it goes until it prostrates under the Throne,” according to Bukhari and others. He did not say that “it sets under the Throne” or “until it sets under the Throne.” This is an understanding that some people who were confused by this hadith misunderstood, and it is a rejected understanding because the wording of the hadith refutes it. His statement, “goes,” is an indication of flow, not an indication of the place of sunset, because the sun does not set in a specific physical location, but rather sets in a specific direction. 2- The scholars said regarding his statement, may God bless him and grant him peace:



“Then it rises from its place of rising, then it runs, and people do not find it strange at all.” The evidence for this is in his statement: “People do not find it strange at all.” It is as if there is an implicit indication in this that there are people who will hear this hadith and will find it difficult and will imagine that the sun stands still or slows down for prostration, so people will find this strange and fear it. However, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace , referred in the hadith to the sun’s movement as it usually does, even though it prostrates, but it is a prostration that is not like the prostration of humans. So who informed the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that there are those who will denounce this hadith except the Lord of Glory, the Knower of the Unseen? 3- The scholars said regarding his statement, may God bless him and grant him peace, “ And it is as if it has been said to it, ‘Return from where you came, ’ and it rises ,” is the greatest evidence that the hadiths confirm that the rising of the sun is not real, but rather came by way of comparison, as the eye sees the sun as if it is returning and rising.


The benefit of these hadiths and their purpose can be summarized in the following explanation:
The hadiths want to tell us that everything prostrates to God, includingthe sun. The sun prostrates to God after it sets in every place and during its movement, and therefore the sun is always prostrating to God because at every momentthe sunin a place on the earth, as the first type of scholars said, orthe sunto God at a specific moment in time whenthe sunfrom half the earth becausethe sundoes not set from the earth completely at one time, and God, by His power, makes the sun under the center ofthe throne at that moment in a way that we cannot. Absorbing it as the second type of scholars said, and prostration as the scholars agreed, we cannot see or notice it with our eyes,
and when it is said to it, rise and return, it is a simile for the occurrence of the word “as if” in most hadiths and an indication of the command for it to end its prostration related to its setting from a specific place without stopping prostration because of the merging of its prostration with a new prostration related to its setting from a new place, such as the merging of the rounds with each other during circumambulation as the first type of scholars said, or it is an indication of the command for it to end its prostration at a specific moment in time after its setting from half of the earth as the second type of scholars said. The scholars said that the return could be an order for the sun to return in the eye of the one looking at it after its prostration,
and after we finishedrespondingfrom an Islamic perspective, and despite our lack of need for any other responses after explaining the hadiths from an Islamic perspective and the absence of any similarity through them, we will not lose anything if we want to know the opinion of science about the idea of ​​the return ofthe sunand its relationship to the succession of night and day from a scientific perspective.Space scientists saythatthe sunmoves around The center of the Milky Way galaxy in a circular spiral, as well as the planets, as shown in this picture.





The sun, due to its large mass, attracts all the planets to it, just as the Earth attracts the moon, which is much smaller than the Earth. They later discovered that this sun is attracted towards the center of our galaxy (the Milky Way), and even revolves around it in a precise and calculated manner. The speed of the sun in its rotation around the center of the galaxy ranges from 200-250 kilometers per second. They found that the sun has another movement, up and down, and they found that the sun rotates around itself as a result of its movement around the center of the galaxy with its attraction to it, which leads to its rotation around itself as in the image taken from NASA
. Therefore, we can say that its movement in this way around the center of the galaxy is its return from where it came, due to its movement in a circular spiral way, like someone who draws a circle and draws as if he is returning from where he started drawing, or like someone who draws a spiral line as if he is returning from where he started drawing, and the meaning is clear in this. Therefore, the movement of the sun in its natural way in its galaxy in a circular spiral way is in itself a return from where it came, or in a more precise sense, as if it is returning from where it came, which is the prophetic expression used in all hadiths except for two only. Here is a very important clip from the Christian Holy Bible website, which acknowledges with scientific evidence that the movement of the sun results in the rotation of the Earth around itself and the alternation of night and day, saying: The sun is a burning mass of flaming gases, so it is not a solid body like the Earth, so it rotates around its axis in a different way. The way the solid planets rotate is different from the nature of the solid planets. The equator of the sun rotates around the axis in a complete revolution in 25 days , while this period is extended in the regions north and south of the equator until it reaches about 37 days at the poles. That is, the sun in this case rotates as if it is spinning. Its method of rotation is called differential rotation . As a result of the sun’s rotation and its huge size, a magnetic field and waves are produced that produce enormous vibrations that make the smaller planets rotate around it in orbits, which is the annual orbit and the succession of seasons. However, these waves also produce the movement of the planets around themselves, which produces night and day. As a result of the enormous solar waves, vibrations (400 billion vibrations / second ) , which occur on the surface of the earth, the earth rotates around its axis. That is, the earth’s rotation around the sun is due to the sun , and the earth’s rotation around its axis and its continuity without stopping is also due to the sun’s vibrations . In other words, the hypothesis is that if the earth stopped, the sun’s continuous vibrations would return it to its rotation speed again. If these vibrations decreased, the earth’s rotation speed would decrease, and if these vibrations were to cease, the earth’s rotation speed would decrease. The earth would stop








About rotation and also the moon stops rotating around the earth because also the rotation of the earth around itself and its attraction to the moon makes the moon rotate around itself and around the earth,

and this means thatthe sun in a circular spiral around the galaxy as if it is returning from where it started, and with its attraction to the center of the galaxy, this leads tothe sunaround itself, which leads to the earth rotating around itself and then the night and day follow each other according to the testimony of space scientists and the Christian Holy Bible website.


Finally, before we conclude, we must see the texts related to the sun in the Bible becauseChristiansthis suspicionwithatheists, so the least punishment for them after we have responded to their suspicion is to cite the texts related to the sun from their book

Joshua 13:10
So the sun stoodstill, and the moon stood still, until the people had taken revenge on their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jasher?And the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, And did not hasten to go down,about a whole day.

Judges 31:5
So shall all your enemies perish, O Lord. And his belovedare as the sun rising in his might.

Job 7:9
He commands the sun, and it does not rise.

Ecclesiastes 5:1
And the sun rises, and the sun sets,and hastens to its place where it
