Demolishing the suspicion of “he found it setting in a muddy spring”

With reason and transmission: Demolishing the doubt “ He found it setting in a muddy spring ”

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and that is enough, and prayers and peace be upon the best of His creation whom He chose, and upon his family and companions and those who follow their path and imitate them. Now then :
This is a series of responses to various and general doubts. Without further ado, my brothers in Allah, we will move on to presenting the subject of the doubt and then respond to it, by the grace of Allah the Almighty.

The orbit of suspicion:

They dared to say that the Quran made a scientific mistake, as it says that the sun sets in a spring! They cited as evidence what came in Surat Al-Kahf 83-86: “And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, ‘I will recite to you about him a report. Indeed, We established him upon the earth, and We gave him from every thing a way, and he followed a way until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of murky water. And he found near it a people.” So how can it set in a well when the sun is one million and thirty thousand times larger than the Earth?

Response to the doubt:

Allah the Almighty said in His Book: “ And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them, they say, “Peace. ” Surah Al-Furqan 63
- So the one who raises doubts and creates them is ignorant of the context of the verse and its theoretical dimension, for he claimed that the Qur’an confirmed and emphasized its setting in the spring, and this is nothing but an illusion in the minds of the foolish…
I will quote the interpretations of the scholars and commentators of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah:

Tafsir Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him:
And His statement: {He found it setting in a spring of murky water} means: He saw the sun in his view setting in the surrounding sea , and this is the case with everyone who reaches its shore, he sees it as if it is setting in it , and it does not leave the fourth sphere in which it is fixed, not… It is different from it, and the word “ham’ah” is derived according to one of the two readings from “hama’ah,” which is clay, as God Almighty said: {Indeed, I will create a human being from clay from an altered black mud} [Al-Hijr: 28], meaning: smooth clay.

Al-Baydawi’s explanation, may God have mercy on him, has already been presented, and it is as follows:
{Until, when he reaches the setting of the sun, he finds it setting in a murky spring} of murky mud from the well became murky when it became murky. Ibn ‘Amir, Hamza, Al-Kisa’i, and Abu Bakr read “Hamiyyah,” meaning hot, and there is no contradiction between them, as it is possible for the ‘ayn to be a combination of both descriptions, or “Hamiyyah,” on the condition that its “ya” is inverted from the hamza due to the kasra of what precedes it. Perhaps he reached the shore of the ocean and saw it like that, since there was nothing in his sight but water. That is why he said, {He found it setting} and did not say it was setting. It was said that Ibn Abbas heard Muawiyah recite “Hamiyyah” and he said, “Hami’ah.” So Muawiyah sent to Ka’b al-Ahbar, “How do you find the sun setting? ” He said, “In water and mud.” That is how we find it in the Torah. {And he found near it} near that spring. {A people} It was said that their clothing was the skins of wild animals and their food was what the sea had thrown up, and they were disbelievers, so God gave him the choice between punishing them or calling them to faith, as He related in His saying, {We said, “O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish} meaning by killing for their disbelief. We will suffice with these two interpretations that denounce this suspicion, as this fact was not proven by the Holy Quran, but rather Dhul-Qarnayn proved it in his appearance and vision , such that it is not permissible to attribute the saying of Dhul-Qarnayn and his rhetorical expression to what the Holy Quran guides to in terms of the truths of beliefs and cosmic evidence, as the verse is restricted to the person of “Dhul-Qarnayn” and is not absolute in meaning, and it is known that neglecting the context and editing the restriction leads to a wrong understanding as we explained earlier. On the other hand, the appearance of Dhul-Qarnayn is actually correct without interpretation or distortion, as he saw it in “his appearance,” and this appearance may be enjoyable or it may not.. It may be wrong or it may be correct.. And indeed the appearance is one hundred percent correct. What is your evidence, Ayoub Al-Maghribi?! Yes ( set in a murky spring ) is indeed a correct rhetorical expression. Here is the picture:

If someone says that the view is wrong, accuse him in his own eyes ( either blind or one-eyed… ) or that he has never been to the sea or has never seen a sunset in his life. To give a better picture, here is a picture that reminds us of this view:

- According to this image: I (Ayyub Al-Maghribi) found it falling into the basket: and I will add a verse to the poem, I also found this image in my view: that the man is carrying a sun :) and we ask how you are so talkative about the Holy Quran and you have a book called Holy that seeks that: the earth has four corners and this is according to what came in the Book of Revelation [7:1] : ((And after that I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth , holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind blows on land or sea or tree)) See the Book of Ezekiel 7:2: ((The end has come upon the four corners of the earth )) The writer of the Book of Job says that the earth has pillars !!Can you prove that? Job [9:6]: ((It is He who shakes the earth from its place of rest, and its pillars tremble .))

Ibn Kathir - may Allah have mercy on him - said in his interpretation: {He found it setting in a murky spring} , meaning: He saw the sun in his view setting in the surrounding sea, and this is the case with everyone who reaches its shore and sees it as if it is setting in it, and so on. What his words imply is that what is meant by the spring in the verse is the surrounding sea, which is full of black mud. The spring in the language refers to a water spring. The spring is a lot of water. So the name spring is applied to the sea in the language. And the fact that someone on the western shore of the ocean sees the sun in his sight falling into the sea is a well-known matter. On this interpretation, there is no problem with the verse, and knowledge is with Allah Almighty."

"On May 19, 2005, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this stunning view as the Sun sank below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars ."

Translation: "This beautiful image was taken on May 19, 2005, by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit while the Sun was sinking below the rim of Gusev crater on the planet Mars."

The evidence here is that if an atheist or Christian read this statement (on NASA's website!) he would not find any problem with it, even though it includes a "blatant scientific error" (if we follow their same sick logic and foolish view), but when it is mentioned in the Book of Allah (in a similar way) then the problem of problems becomes Glory be to Allah!

They accept nothing but what they drink from Their passion!!

this is a picture of the sunset at the North Pole and the moon at its closest point to the Earth in a muddy spring...

a muddy spring .

How did the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, know that there are hot, blazing springs according to another reading (hot springs are rare tourist places on Earth and do not exist in the Arabian Peninsula)??

This picture is of Yellowstone Lake in the United States, in the Yellowstone National Park, and some nearby hot springs...perhaps the hot spring looks like it, and God knows best.

It is a description of a beautiful scene that Dhul-Qarnayn saw. The Holy Quran did not acknowledge, God forbid, that the sun sets in a hot spring in reality. Rather, the description was of a visual scene and not an acknowledgment of a physical fact. The Arabs know very well that the sun does not sink into the sea. This is the illiterate understanding of the ignorant atheists and those who attack the Quran only. The Holy Quran corrected the Arabs’ false beliefs with scientific and material facts that humans have not reached until these years and that humans have not yet reached.
