Orbits of Earth, Moon, & Sun
Earth’s orbital revolution
The Earth rotates from west to east about its axis: one complete rotation takes a day. The rotation of the Earth is responsible for the alternate periods of light and darkness, i.e. day and night. This is Earth’s axial rotation (2:164, 3:27, 3:190, 7:54, 10:6, 22:61, 23:80, 24:44, 25:62, 27:88, 31:29, 35:13, 36:40, 39:5, 45:5, 57:6, 91:3-4, 92:1-2).
The Earth also revolves in an orbit around the Sun, once in a year, i.e. about 365 days. The path of this revolution, the Earth’s orbit, is an ellipse rather than a circle. This is Earth’s orbital revolution (20:53, 21:33, 35:13, 36:40, 39:5, 43:10; cf. 78:6, 79:27-31, 91:1-6, 24:35, 12:4, 6:74-79, 78:12-13, 41:12, 27:24 , 37:1-7, 67:5, 10:3-6).
Thus, apart from the non-specific indications of Earth’s motion that we discussed elsewhere (e.g. 20:53, 43:10, 78:6, 41:11, 35:41, 77:25-26, 55:10, 2:22, 27:88), there are in the Quran a few ‘specific’ allusions to the orbital motion of an axially rotating Earth.
Below we will attempt to go through them.
Orbital motion of an axially rotating Earth
The Quran describes our planet Earth as a ‘mahd’ (20:53, 43:10; cf. ‘mihaada’ 78:6; cf. 3:46, 5:110, 19:29), which means in Arabic both a ‘cradle’ and a ‘merry-go-round’. This simultaneously alludes to both the axial and orbital motion of the Earth.
Earth’s orbital motion, in addition to axial, appears in an idiosyncratic way in the following statements:
It is He who created the night and the day and the Sun and the Moon. All swim along in orbit. 21:33
He merges the night into the day and merges the day into the night, and He has subjected the Sun and the Moon. Each pursues its course for a term appointed. 35:13
This reference to the orbital motion of an axially rotating Earth gets more precise in the following verse:
He COILS the night around the day and He coils the day around the night; and He has subjected the Sun and the Moon: each RUNNING ALONG a course for a term appointed. 39:5
It is interesting to observe how the two separate verbs above – ‘yukawwir’ (‘coils’, like a rotating ‘ball’ or ‘kurah’) and ‘yajree’ (‘runs along’, a motion which is in orbit; cf. All swim along in orbit. 21:33) – make a clear distinction between the two types of terrestrial motion.
Thus, while the verb ‘coils’ indicates Earth’s axial rotation causing the succession of night and day, the verb ‘runs along’ refers to the orbital motion of ‘each’ (‘kullun’), which as a plural pronoun here includes ‘the revolving night and day’ (the revolving Earth) along with the Sun, Moon and so on.
This parallel allusion to Earth’s orbital and axial motion gets even more specific in the following statement:
Neither is it for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and ALL swim along in orbit. 36:40
All these verses maintain that ‘the rotating night and day’ – an allusion throughout the Quran to the revolving Earth – ‘swim along in orbit’ together with the ‘swimming’ of the Sun and the Moon, which are Earth’s star and satellite respectively. Thus we get simultaneous references to Earth’s both types of motion.
‘Rotating night and day’ are orbiting around the Sun
Let us ponder on this verse, apparently explicit about Earth’s orbital and axial motion:
Neither is it for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and ALL swim along in orbit. 36:40
This implies that celestial objects, like the Sun, the Moon and so on, cannot normally deviate from their courses or collide with each other, as they are held and arranged in their orbits in perfect order by the precise laws of motion. Also, the day and the night cannot outstrip each other as they incessantly occur on opposite sides of the revolving Earth.
Now – following this mention of the moving heavenly bodies like the Sun and the Moon and then of revolving night and day (cf. 39:5) – the phrase ‘ALL swim along in orbit’ clearly indicates that the rotating Earth (‘revolving night and day’) is also swimming along in an orbit.
However, night and day – while swimming along in an orbit – will cease to exist, if they are not constantly around their source, the Sun.
In other words:
If ‘revolving night and day’ are swimming along in an orbit, their orbit has to be around the Sun, the continuous cause of night and day!
This is the exact description from a spaceship about the planet Earth, which – with its axial rotation that generates the constant cycle of day and night – is moving forward in its orbit around the Sun.
That Earth’s orbital revolution is around the Sun is further confirmed by a parallel reading of the above verse together with e.g. 79:27-31, 91:1-6, 24:35, 12:4, 6:74-79, 78:12-13, 41:12, 27:24 , 37:1-7, 67:5 and 10:3-6.
Please observe that the verb ‘yasbahun’ (‘swim along’) is in plural and so does the word ‘kullu’ here also refers to plural (‘all’). In Arabic, plural necessarily implies more than two subjects, as there is separate verbal form for dual. So, neither ‘kullu’ is a pronoun for the Sun and the night only, nor ‘yasbahun’ involves only them, but both overwhelmingly exceed them both and, thus going beyond them, encompass everything: putting absolutely everything in the Universe in compulsory motion in ‘orbits’, ordained and strictly governed by divine Law.
Thus the phrase ‘and ALL swim along in orbit’ refers not only to the motion of the Earth or various celestial bodies like the Sun or the Moon, but also to the motion of the entire cosmos – from the colossal motion of superclusters, to the quantum motion at subatomic levels, to the motion or action as a fundamental attribute, essential for the existence of matter (energy) itself.
It is remarkable that the expression ‘KuLlun FiY FaLaK’ (36:40; cf. 21:33) – which literally means ‘all in orbit/ circuit’, alluding to the motion of the Sun, Moon, Earth etc in ‘a path that repeats itself’ – is palindromic (cyclical) in itself29, i.e. it reads the same backward or forward. Thus the expression itself – with letters arranged in a circular pattern (K, L, F, Y, F, L, K) reading the same backward or forward – symbolizes an ongoing circuit, i.e. the circular/ ellipsoid orbits.
Earth is a ‘loaded spaceship’
Now we will read 36:40 in context and observe the analogy between ‘the rotating Earth (‘rotating night and day’) swimming in orbit’ and ‘a loaded ship carrying human race’:
Neither is it for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and ALL swim along in orbit./ And a Sign unto them is that We bear their race in a loaded ship;/ And We have created for them things of a similar kind whereon they (will) ride. 36:40-42
Please note the clear association between ‘SWIM along in orbit’ in 36:40 and ‘loaded SHIP’ in 36:41. Also the link between ‘FALAK’ (orbit) and ‘FULK’ (ship) that further relates 36:40 to 36:41. Obviously, ‘their race’ above denotes the human race as a whole.
Parenthetically, this portrays the ‘rotating Earth (‘rotating night and day’) swimming in orbit’, as a ‘loaded ship carrying human race’ …
And, more precisely, as a loaded SPACESHIP! …
A spaceship that resembles various watercrafts and flying vessels including future starships and planets potentially suitable for human habitat (‘things of a similar kind whereon they (will) ride’)! …
This perceived image of the Earth as a ‘loaded spaceship’ is reinforced in our mind when we read the above passage in the context of other similar passages that persistently portray moving celestial bodies including the Earth as sailing ships, while comparing the cosmos with ocean (2:164; 10:18, 22; 14:32-33; 16:12-14; 22:65; 31: 29-31; 35:12-13; 36:40-42; 42:5, 32; 43:9-12; 45:12-13).

1) SURAH 10:5 "He it is who made the sun a shining brightness and the moon a light, and ordained for it mansions that you might know the computation of years and the reckoning. Allah did not create it but with truth; He makes the signs manifest for a people who know. M.H. Shakir
2) SURAH 55:5 "The sun and moon follow courses exactly computed." Yusaf Ali
3) SURAH 13:2 "Allah is he who raised the heavens without any pillars that you see, and he is firm in power and he made the sun and the moon subservient to you; each one pursues its course to an appointed time; He regulates the affair, making clear the signs that you may be certain of meeting your Lord." M.H. Shakir
4) SURAH 41:37 "And among his signs are the night and the day and the sun and the moon; do not make obeisance to the sun nor to the moon." M.H. Shakir
The Arabic verb "sabaha" (yasbahuna) in this verse means rotation on its own axis. The Arabic word "falak" used for planets and planets' movements in Verse 21:33 can mean movement in its own "celestial sphere." Therefore, the Quran states that ALL celestial bodies including the earth rotate on their own axis or in their "celestial sphere." If one wants to connect the phenomenon of night and day to the rotation of all celestial planets than this verse PROVES that the Quran CORRECTLY STATES that day and night is the result of the EARTH’S ROTATION!!!!!
12) SURAH 21:33 " "It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: ALL (the celestial bodies) rotate (yasbahuna), each in their celestial spheres (falak)." Yusaf Ali, M.H. Shakir
Here an essential fact is clearly stated: the existence of orbits and rotation for all celestial bodies. This clearly describes what is happening to the earth as it rotates every 24 hours while it also orbits around the sun during a year’s time.
The Arabic word falak has often been translated as 'orbit' or 'sphere' depending on the context of the verse. Si Hamza Boubekeur in his translation of the Quran cites the diversity of interpretations given to it: "A sort of axle, like an iron rod, that a mill turns around; a celestial sphere, orbit, sign of the zodiac, speed, wave . . .", but he adds the following observation made by Tabari, the famous Tenth century commentator: "It is our duty to keep silent when we do not know." (XVII, 15). This shows just how incapable men were of understanding this concept of the Sun's and Moon's orbit or rotation. These concepts were not to be explained until centuries later. (Bucaille) by Frank
source:None of the verses in the Quran state that the Sun orbits the Earth. All the Quranic verses simply detail two things:
1. That the Sun is moving.
2. That it has an orbit.
These two statements are what match with scientific facts.
The Sun is currently traveling through the Local Interstellar Cloud (near to the G-cloud) in the Local Bubble zone, within the inner rim of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. Of the 50 nearest stellar systems within 17 light-years from Earth (the closest being a red dwarf named Proxima Centauri at approximately 4.2 light-years away), the Sun ranks fourth in mass. The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way at a distance of approximately 24000–26000 light-years from the galactic center, completing one clockwise orbit, as viewed from the galactic north pole, in about 225–250 million years. [1]Although many people quote these Quranic verses, they contain no references to the Sun orbiting the Earth.

Does the Quran say the Sun orbits the Earth?
SOURCE :
Sahih International
(2) The sun cannot appear in the times which have been appointed for the rising and appearing of the moon. It is not possible that the sun should suddenly appear on the horizon when the moon is shining at night.
Nor does this happen either that the night should approach before the appointed period of the day comes to an end, and should start spreading its darkness suddenly during the time when the day is meant to spread its light.''
The mentioning of the “night and day” cycle along with the “sun and moon” orbits in those verses does not necessarily indicate a geocentric perspective. Although they are mentioned together in several verses in the Qur’an, they are always grouped together separately from each other in all of those instances. It’s never said as “the night with the moon” or “the day with the sun” in any of those instances. In addition to that, the moon is not always visible at night nor is it only visible at night. This further disassociates the mentioning of “night and day” with the “sun and the moon”.
There is also the context of those verses as well, which is not about the day/night dichotomy, but about the signs of God in the universe with the “day and night” being one of them and the “sun and moon” being another. With regard to the verse in question:
Qur’an 21:30-36: Are the disbelievers not aware that the heavens and the earth used to be joined together and that We ripped them apart, that We made every living thing from water? Will they not believe? And We put firm mountains on the earth, lest it should sway under them, and set broad paths on it, so that they might follow the right direction, and We made the sky a well-secured canopy––yet from its wonders they turn away. It is He who created night and day, the sun and the moon, each floating in its orbit. We have not granted everlasting life to any other human being before you either [Muhammad]––if you die, will [the disbelievers] live forever? Every soul is certain to taste death: We test you all through the bad and the good, and to Us you will all return. When the disbelievers see you, they laugh at you: ‘Is this the one who talks about your gods?’ They reject any talk of the Lord of Mercy.
Here, in addition to the “night and day” and “sun and moon”, we also see the mention of “the heavens and the earth”, the “mountains”, every living thing being made from water, and the “sky”. You cannot possibly associate all of those things exclusively with each other, yet the attempt is made to do so if the “day and night” happen to be mentioned in the same verse as the “sun and moon”?

Geocentricism -Quran error refuted. - Scientific Errors in the Quran
Yusuf Ali comments on this verse (36:40): “Though the sun and the moon both traverse the belt of the Zodiac, and their motions are different, they never catch up each other. When the sun and the moon are on the same side and on a line with the earth there is a solar eclipse, and when on opposite sides in a line, there is a lunar eclipse, but there is no clash …Similarly, Night and Day follow each other, but being opposite cannot coincide.” Thus, the sun and moon not being able to “catch up” to the other means they do not “clash.” ( via no god but allah. org )
The sun is at an early stage in its existence; it should last about another 5.5 billion years. During this period hydrogen transforms into helium, with the resulting expansion of its external layers and the cooling of the sun. In the final stage, its light is greatly diminished and density considerably increased. This is to be observed in the type of star known as a white dwarf. Verse 36:38 clearly establishes the end of the sun’s life when we see that this verse is connected by the word "and" to the words "old" and "returns" in verse 36:39. These words "old" and "returns" seem to suggest an elapsed period of time that is very long. Moreover, the translation for verse 36:38 is a "period determined" or the word "mustaqarr" which means a final end. The word "Mustaqarr" used in verse 36:38 is different from the word "Ajaleen Mossama" or "appointed time" used in verses 13:2, 31:29, 39:5 and 35:13 (which could relate to orbit or rotation or life span.) The above dates are only of interest in as far as they give a rough estimate of the time factor involved, what is worth remembering and is really the main point of the above, is the notion of an evolution. Modern data allow us to predict that, in a few billion years, the conditions prevailing in the solar system will not be the same as they are today. Like other stars whose transformations have been recorded until they reached their final stage, it is possible to predict an end to the Sun. (Bucaille)
The sun and moon have their own orbits in the universe. Verse 36:40 clearly establishes the existence of the Sun’s and Moon’s orbit by stating that the sun will not "catch" (Yusaf Ali) or "overtake" (M.H. Shakir) the moon: i.e. the "sun," "moon," "day" and "night" will remain separate phenomenon since the sun and moon travel in their own orbits and hence will never collide. If the sun and moon were not in their own "exact" orbits (55:5), the phenomenon of "day" and "night" would most certainly be affected. The moon orbits around the earth every 29.5 days while it also is orbiting the sun along with the earth. The sun orbits the galaxy; to complete one revolution on its own axis, the galaxy and Sun take roughly 250 million years. The sun travels at roughly 150 miles per second in the completion of this. (Bucaille)

All stars and planets have orbits.
[Quran 39.5] [Allah] Created the heavens and the Earth in truth. He overlaps the night over the day and overlaps the day over the night, and enslaved the sun and the moon, ALL MOVE (Kullon Yajree كل يجري) to a prerecorded destiny. Is He not the Exalted, the Forgiver?
Here the Quran is referring to ALL MOVING: not only the sun and moon but also Earth. In Arabic grammar there is difference between the singular (one), binary (two) and plural (three or more). The reference to binary is "Kulahuma Yajreean كلاهما يجريان" however the Quran said "Kullon yajree كل يجري" referring to the plural (three or more). Since the sun and moon are just two but the Quran refers to three or more then according to the Quran all the three move: sun, moon and Earth.***

AMENITIES OF THE SUN
The energy generated by the sun in just one second is equal to the energy that three billion power stations would generate on earth in a year. The world receives but two per billion parts of the overall radiation coming from the sun. The slightest decrease in this quantity would turn our world into a place no longer habitable by human beings, as ice age would reign. The distance of our world from the sun, the size of the sun, and the power of reactions within the sun are all calculated infinitesimally. We are part of these calculations. The slightest change in the figures would make life on earth impossible. The creation and the perpetuation of these critical values are the sine qua non of our lives. The sun rotates around its own axis while moving towards a particular destination; the earth, on the other hand, has a variety of movements; it rotates around its own axis, revolves about the sun, being dependent on it, and is affected by the moon. In all the rapid movements, our world changes all the time according to the position of the solar system and galaxies. None of the movements affects our position in relation to the sun nor puts an end to our life on earth.

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
1- He Almighty says "the sun runs" not moves or walks which is a clear sign that the sun moves in high speed. Today, our scientists say that the Sun moves say that the Sun moves at an estimated speed of about 225 km per second (140 miles per second)

2- If we examine the sun's complex orbit and the course of horses running during race , we would find it similar to that of ships & sun -- For them God used the word "run"
3- We find modern researches on stars talking about "Star Streaming" as if they are like a running river:

4 - Although God told us about sun's "mustaqar=resting time/place" in the quran 1400 years ago, we find modern scientists talking about "the solar apex" and define it as
" the direction that the Sun travels with respect to the Local Standard of Rest" In lay terms, it's the "target" within the Milky Way that the Sun appears to be "chasing" as it orbits the galaxy.

"The Sun will gradually die. As a star's core crashes inwards, it eventually becomes hot enough to ignite another of its constituent atoms, helium. Helium atoms fuse together to form carbon. When the helium supply runs out, the centre collapses again and the atmosphere inflates. The Sun isn't massive enough to fully re-ignite its core for a third time. So it goes on expanding, shedding its atmosphere in a series of bursts. The dying core eventually forms a white dwarf - a spherical diamond the size of the Earth, made of carbon and oxygen. From this point on the Sun will gradually fade away, becoming dimmer and dimmer until its light is finally snuffed out."

Now we can realize quran superiority over all arrogant haters and man-made books as it's the word of God Almighty, The Most High .
SOURCE :
Actually the Hilali/Khan translation states “And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed)”. This translation does not mention a “resting place”
So the sun has a fixed course? Yes it does, it has an orbit; it orbits around the centre of the Galaxy.
So we realise that the sun moves and is on a fixed course. How did the Author of the Quran know this?
As for “for a term (appointed)” well, we all believe that the sun will die one day. Even the sceptics believe this, so this is the appointed term. In simple words, Allah allows the sun to move on its course for a term ( a set time period) and Allah will make it end one day.
I’m not sure why the sceptics brought this up, did they not know that the sun does move on a course [1]? ( yahya snow )

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one day said:
Do you know where the sun goes? They replied: Allah and His Apostle know best. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Verily it (the sun) glides till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it falls prostrate and remains there until it is asked: Rise up and go to the place whence you came, and it goes back and continues emerging out from its rising place and then glides till it reaches its place of rest under the Throne and falls prostrate and remains in that state until it is asked: Rise up and return to the place whence you came, and it returns and emerges out from it rising place and the it glides (in such a normal way) that the people do not discern anything ( unusual in it) till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it would be said to it: Rise up and emerge out from the place of your setting, and it will rise from the place of its setting. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said. Do you know when it would happen? It would happen at the time when faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from the faith.

So, these 110 times are not counted because they are not “simple singular form” of the word “day”)(Note: the word “day” in Verse 34:18 is plural in Arabic, despite it is translated as “day” in the link below)(So, the word “day” occurs 365 times in the Qur’an, in these Verses : 1:4; 2:8; 2:48; 2:62; 2:85; 2:113; 2:123; 2:126; 2:174; 2:177; 2:212; 2:228; 2:232; 2:249; 2:254; 2:259 (2 times); 2:264; 2:281; 3:9; 3:25; 3:30; 3:55; 3:77; 3:106; 3:114; 3:155; 3:161; 3:166; 3:180; 3:185; 3:194; 4:38; 4:39; 4:59; 4:87; 4:109; 4:136; 4:141; 4:159; 4:162; 5:3 (2 times); 5:5; 5:14; 5:36; 5:64; 5:69; 5:109; 5:119; 6:12; 6:15; 6:22; 6:73 (2 times); 6:93; 6:128; 6:141; 6:158; 7:14; 7:32; 7:51; 7:53; 7:59; 7:163 (2 times); 7:167; 7:172; 8:41 (2 times); 8:48; 9:3; 9:18; 9:19; 9:25; 9:29; 9:35; 9:36; 9:44; 9:45; 9:77; 9:99; 9:108; 10:15; 10:28; 10:45; 10:60; 10:92; 10:93; 11:3; 11:8; 11:26; 11:43; 11:60; 11:77; 11:84; 11:98; 11:99; 11:103 (2 times); 11:105; 12:54; 12:92; 14:18; 14:31; 14:41; 14:42; 14:44; 14:48; 15:35; 15:36; 15:38; 16:25; 16:27 (2 times); 16:63; 16:80 (2 times); 16:84; 16:89; 16:92; 16:111; 16:124; 17:13; 17:14; 17:52; 17:58; 17:62; 17:71; 17:97; 18:19 (2 times); 18:47; 18:52; 18:105; 19:15 (3 times); 19:26; 19:33 (3 times); 19:37; 19:38 (2 times); 19:39; 19:85; 19:95; 20:59; 20:64; 20:100; 20:101; 20:102; 20:104; 20:124; 20:126; 21:47; 21:104; 22:2; 22:9; 22:17; 22:47; 22:55; 22:69; 23:16; 23:65; 23:100; 23:111; 23:113 (2 times); 24:2; 24:24; 24:37; 24:64; 25:14; 25:17; 25:22; 25:25; 25:26; 25:27; 25:69; 26:38; 26:82; 26:87; 26:88; 26:135; 26:155; 26:156; 26:189 (2 times); 27:83; 27:87; 28:41; 28:42; 28:61; 28:62; 28:65; 28:71; 28:72; 28:74; 29:13; 29:25; 29:36; 29:55; 30:12; 30:14; 30:43; 30:55; 30:56 (2 times); 31:33; 32:5; 32:25; 32:29; 33:21; 33:44; 33:66; 34:30; 34:40; 34:42; 35:14; 36:54; 36:55; 36:59; 36:64; 36:65; 37:20; 37:21; 37:26; 37:144; 38:16; 38:26; 38:53; 38:78; 38:79; 38:81; 39:13; 39:15; 39:24; 39:31; 39:47; 39:60; 39:67; 40:15; 40:16 (2 times); 40:17 (2 times); 40:18; 40:27; 40:29; 40:30; 40:32; 40:33; 40:46; 40:49; 40:51; 40:52; 41:19; 41:40; 41:47; 42:7; 42:45; 42:47; 43:39; 43:65; 43:68; 44:10; 44:16; 44:40; 44:41; 45:17; 45:26; 45:27; 45:28; 45:34; 45:35; 46:5; 46:20 (2 times); 46:21; 46:34; 46:35; 50:20; 50:22; 50:30; 50:34; 50:41; 50:42 (2 times); 50:44; 51:12; 51:13; 52:9; 52:13; 52:46; 54:6; 54:8; 54:19; 54:48; 55:29; 56:50; 56:56; 57:12 (2 times); 57:13; 57:15; 58:6; 58:7; 58:18; 58:22; 60:3; 60:6; 62:9; 64:9 (3 times); 65:2; 66:7; 66:8; 68:24; 68:39; 68:42; 69:35; 70:4; 70:8; 70:26; 70:43; 70:44; 73:14; 73:17; 74:9; 74:46; 75:1; 75:6; 76:7; 76:10; 76:11; 76:27; 77:12; 77:13; 77:14; 77:35; 77:38; 78:17; 78:18; 78:38; 78:39; 78:40; 79:6; 79:35; 79:46; 80:34; 82:15; 82:17; 82:18; 82:19; 83:5; 83:6; 83:11; 83:34; 85:2; 86:9; 90:14; 101:4)(Allah knows best)

- Period of the Earth’s orbit in the Qur’an? Does the word “day” occur 365 times in the Qur’an? Does the word “month” occurs 12 times in the Qur’an?
(10:5) He is the one who made the sun a source of light and the moon a [reflected] light, and determined for it phases, so that you can know the number of years (sinîn = plural of sanat) as well as the count (of time). God did not create this except in truth. He explains the signs to people who possess knowledge.
How could the word “Sanat” refer to a “solar year” in the Quran in general, while verse 10:5 mentions the moon as a light, as well as its phases, just before “so that you can know the number of years (sinîn = plural of Sanat)”?
The answer is actually very simple since 10:5 refers both to the fact that “the sun” and “the moon” are used to calculate the number of years in the verse. The Quran thus acknowledges both a solar and a lunar calendar. In other words, “so that you can know the number of years (sinîn = plural of sanat) and the count (of time)” refers at the same time to the sun and the moon, and not just to the moon, since both of them allow us to establish the two calendars created by God for the human race.
Let us point out here that the singular of “Sanat” occurs 7 times and its plural occurs 12 times: 7:130 (1); 10:5 (1); 12:42 (1); 12:47 (1); 17:12 (1); 18:11 (1); 18:25 (1); 20:40 (1); 23:112 (1); 26:18 (1); 26:205 (1); 30:4) (1) = 12 words “sanat” (singular and plural).
7 + 12 = 19; it is noteworthy that the sun, the moon and the earth realign in the same relative position every 19 years to the day, which is precisely equal to 235 lunar months. This is called the Metonic cycle. The words “sun” and “moon” intersect 19 times (symbolizing this divine alignment) in 18 verses in the Quran. Once out of 19 occurrences (in verse 29:61), the words “Sun”, “Moon” and “earth” are mentioned in succession symbolizing an alignment.
7. Edward Lane's dictionary mentions the correct definition of “Sanat” and “’Âm”
The concept of “Sanat” and “’Âm” meaning respectively “solar year” and “lunar year” is nothing new, even though their precise meaning was historically altered because of the widespread corruption that affects the world of Islam: The proof can for instance be found in Edward Lane's Arabic-English dictionary (1863 edition) which provides several and sometimes far-fetched definitions regarding the definition of “’Âm”, for example that it is a synonym of “Sanat”, but does not fail to mention the correct definition from a Quranic point of view, confirming what we observed directly in the Holy Quran:
“…and Suh says in the R, that the سنة (sanat) is longer than the عام (‘âm); that the former is “a single revolution of the sun”, and that the latter being applied to the [twelve] Arabian months [collectively].”
This quote obviously signifies that “Sanat” corresponds to a solar year of 365 days (a single revolution of the earth around the sun) while “’âm » refers to the twelve lunar months or the Islamic calendar (354 days on average).

5.2 Why 475 forms of the word “day”?The word “sun” occurs 33 times in the Quran, which in my opinion symbolizes the 33 solar years that it takes for the solar and lunar calendars to come back together at the same time of the year. For instance, the fast of Ramadan takes place at the same time of the year every 33 years, which means that regardless of where people live on earth, they will fast the same amount of time over a 33 year period if they stay in the same geographical area.
During those 33 years, the sun rotates 475 times around itself, or 19 x 25, (using the concept of a Carrington rotation, or sidereal rotation, explained below*). In other words, the sun experiences 475 “days” over a 33 year period, which coincides with the time it takes for the solar and lunar calendar to come back together at the same time of the year. This is in my view the hidden reason why there are 475 forms of the word “day” in the Quran.
Non simple forms of the word “day”: 3 + 27 + 5 + 5 + 70 = 110 non simple forms.

Miracle of the word day in the Quran - Quranaloneislam.org
165 The reference, at this stage, to lunar months arises from the fact that the observance of several of the religious obligations instituted by Islam - like the fast of Ramadan, or the pilgrimage to Mecca (which is dealt with in verses 196-203)- is based on the lunar calendar, in which the months rotate through the seasons of the solar year. This fixation on the lunar calendar results in a continuous variation of the seasonal circumstances in which those religious observances are performed (e.g., the length of the fasting-period between dawn and sunset, heat or cold at the time of the fast or the pilgrimage), and thus in a corresponding, periodical increase or decrease of the hardship involved. In addition to this, reckoning by lunar months has a bearing on the tide and ebb of the oceans, as well as on human physiology (e.g., a woman's monthly courses - a subject dealt with later on in this surah).by muhammad assad
b) Apart from the specialists in this field, most people are unaware of the perfect correlation between the Julian and the lunar calendar: 235 lunar months correspond exactly to 19 Julian years of 365 1/4 days. Then length of our year of 365 days is not perfect because it has to be rectified every four years (with a leap year) .
With the lunar calendar, the same phenomena occur every 19 years (Julian). This is the Metonic cycle, named after the Greek astronomer Meton, who discovered this exact correlation between solar and lunar time in the Fifth century B.C. by maurice bucaille
The Sun takes roughly 25 days to revolve on its own axis. There are certain differences in its rotation at its equator and poles, (we shall not go into them here) but as a whole, the Sun is animated by a rotating motion.
19*25=475
In the book of Joshua (10:12-13), for example, we read that Joshua spoke to God about prolonging the day so he could kill more of Israel’s enemies. The result was that “The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.” This geocentric miracle is again mentioned in the book of Habakkuk (3:11) where we read that “The sun and moon stood still in their habitation…” Note that the passages do not say the sun “appeared” to stand still.
In Psalms 19:4-6, we read that God has “set a tent for the sun, which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strong man runs his course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hid from its heat.” In Ecclesiastes 1:5 we read “The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.”
In addition to claiming that the sun moves, the Bible is clear that the earth does not. In 1 Chronicles 16:30 we read: “the world stands firm, never to be moved.” Psalms 93:1—a passage used to challenge Galileo—states “Yea, the world is established; it shall never be moved,” a claim repeated verbatim in Psalms 96:10.by karl w. giberson via daily beast
EARTH IS IMMOVABLE//FIXED by Sulaiman Razvi
Atharva Veda 6.77.1 “The heavens have stood, the earth has stood, all creatures have stood. The mountains have stood upon their
foundation, the horses in the stable I have caused to stand.” Tr. Maurice Bloomfield
Some apologists argue that that the word “Asthaat” means “steady” and not fixed or standing still, this doubt can be cleared from the following verse,
Atharva Veda 6.44.1 “The heavens have stood still, the earth has stood still, all creatures have stood still. The trees that sleep erect have stood still: may this disease of thine stand still!” Tr. Maurice Bloomfield
Above is Shripad Damodar Satvalekar’s Hindi translation and below is Kshemkarandas Trivedi’s translation,
Both the Hindi verses translated by Kshemkaran Das Trivedi and Shripad Damodar Satvalekar has translated the word Asthaat as “Tehri hai” which means standing still but some people tries to twist this verse in the following way.
Scholar has cleverly translated the word “Prithvyasthaad” [Prithvi+Asthaat] as “Earth is firm” but then translates the same word as standing still [Tehra hai] when it comes it Trees and Malady. Atharva Veda 6.44.1 is a prayer to stop malady, it says that just as Earth is standing still, trees are standing still, world is standing still, the same way make this malady stand still. Now if we go with apologists definition then it would be like “Let this malady of your stand firm” and that would be illogical, isn’t it? If it’s just about firmness then why does it talk about trees? doesn’t trees shake with a gust of wind? Trees stands in its place and doesn’t move and it being compared to earth proves that earth is motionless according to Vedas.
“Rig Veda 10.149.1 Savitar has fixed the earth with supports ; Savitar has fastened heaven in unsupported space…
Nirukta 10.32 Savitar caused the earth to be fastened with supports. In the supportless atmosphere Savitar has made the heaven firm…
Atharva Veda 13.1.6 …Rohita with his might hath established Earth and Heaven.
Rig Veda 10.89.4, Sam Veda 4.1.5.8 Indra hath fixed [Stopped] the earth and heaven as with an axle…
Following is the Hindi translation by Pandit Ram Govind Trivedi
Yajur Veda 5.16 pastures, fair to do men service. Both these worlds, Vishnu, hast thou stayed
asunder, and firmly fixed the earth with pegs around it.
Yajur Veda 32.6 By whom the heavens are strong and earth stands firmly…
Above verse clearly uses the word “Drdh दृढ” which has several meaning like “Fixed, strong, firm” but mainly refers to something immovable which we shall further discuss in the article.
Rig Veda 3.30.4 …the heaven and earth
and the mountains stands immoveable.
Above is Pandit Ram Govind Trivedi’s translation and following is Shri Ram Acharya’s translation
[This verse is translated into English from Hindi Bhasya.]
Rig Veda 10.173.4 4 Firm is the sky and firm the earth, and stedfast also are these hills. Stedfast is all this living world, and stedfast is this King of men.
An Indian scientist named Bhaskaracharya (1114-1185) wrote,
”As heat is an inherent property of the Sun and of Fire, as cold of the Moon, fluidity of water, and hardness of stones, and as the air is volatile, so the earth is naturally immovable. For oh! the properties existing on things are wonderful.”-Siddhanta Shiromani Goladhyaaya of Bhaskaracharya, Bhuvankosh, Shloka 5
Many verses clearly uses the word Drdh दृढ which means fixed but Hindus argue that it means firm, whether Drdh means fixed or firm can be better understood after reading Rig Veda 8.78.5; 10.173.4; Atharva Veda 6.88.1, 20.34.2, 19.32.9, 13.1.6-7 and Yajur Veda 1.17 which says the Earth is Fixed. The Atharva Veda 6.77.1 and 6.44.1 explicitly states that Earth is standing still (not moving). But still Hindus will argue that it doesn’t mean what it says. Then what was the logic behind Ishwar revealing so many verses on Earth’s ‘Stability’? It’s plain and clear, the earth is fixed according to the Vedas as proved from verses which says that Earth is standing still. Even if we accept their claim, then why does Vedas talk about Earth along with Heaven that the earth and heaven are firmly fixed? As per the Vedas both heaven and earth are immovable.
