Abstract

The Noble Qur’ an as an everlasting miracle has stated the motion of the sun in several verses. Empirical science has also researched about motions of the sun. This study investigates the celestial motions that are mentioned in the Qur’ an; the relationship between the absolute findings of empirical science and the commentators’ views; the apparent disagreement between some Qur’ anic verses such as Surah al-Baqarah: 258, … and the outcomes of the empirical science. The hypothesis of this study holds compatibility between scientific findings and the scientific miracles in the Qur’ an in terms of motions of the sun. The applied method in this article was data collection, library study, and data analysis. The results of the study showed that the verses on motions of the sun are classified into two groups: First, descriptive verses that explain the scientific miracles such as the transient motion of the sun (each running its course for a specified term), rotational and Orbital Motion (the sun and the moon; all [Heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming), orbital-longitudinal motion along with the galaxy (and the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing), and the rotational-Orbital Motion (and the sun and the moon; all [Heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming). Second, explanatory verses that are apparently incompatible with exact findings of the empirical science but in terms of figurative speech (Qarine Maqamiah), the best argument (Jidal Ahsan) device and its relative conditions, they actually have no contradiction.
