The verse contains no reference at all of the sun literally setting or entering or going down into a muddy pool of water.<\/p>\n<p>It simply tells the story of righteous servant of God &#8211; Dhul-Qarnayn &#8211; who traveled on a journey until he reached the time of sunset or the western part of his empire and saw the sun setting, from his perspective, in a body of water. As anyone is able to do if they visit the sea side.<\/p>\n<p>After looking at a few translation of the verse it becomes clear what the verse is saying. The verse clearly says Dhul-Qarnayn travelled to the end of the land (i.e. until he reached the sea), as far west as he could travel. When he travelled west and reached the coast, there was no more land in this direction (on is route to travel westward), there was only the ocean, and the sun was setting. And as he looked across the murky body of water he saw the sun setting at the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>So what does the Quran actually say, does it state the sun enters the murky spring as the critics claim?<\/p>\n<p>The Quran was revealed in Arabic so to answer this we need to do a linguistic analysis of the verse.<\/p>\n<p>After all prophet solves the misunderstanding of some by the following hadeeth<\/p>\n<p>\u0639\u0646 \u0627\u0628\u0646 \u0639\u0628\u0627\u0633 \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645\u0627 \u0627\u0646 \u0631\u0633\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 \u0633\u0626\u0644 :\u0647\u0630\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u063a\u0627\u0631\u0628 \u0627\u064a\u0646 \u062a\u063a\u0631\u0628 \u061f \u0648\u0647\u0630\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0637\u0627\u0644\u0639 \u0627\u064a\u0646 \u062a\u0637\u0644\u0639 \u061f \u0641\u0642\u0627\u0644 \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 ( \u0647\u064a \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0631\u0633\u0644\u0647\u0627 \u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0628\u0631\u062d \u0648\u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0632\u0648\u0644 , \u062a\u063a\u0631\u0628 \u0639\u0646 \u0642\u0648\u0645 \u0648\u062a\u0637\u0644\u0639 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0642\u0648\u0645 ,\u0648\u062a\u063a\u0631\u0628 \u0639\u0646 \u0642\u0648\u0645 \u0648\u062a\u0637\u0644\u0639 , \u0641\u0642\u0648\u0645 \u064a\u0642\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0646 \u063a\u0631\u0628\u062a ,\u0648\u0642\u0648\u0645 \u064a\u0642\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0646 \u0637\u0644\u0639\u062a<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5mfr\"><span class=\"_6qdm\">&#x1f337;<\/span><\/span>\u0645\u0633\u0646\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0647\u0645\u062f\u0627\u0646\u064a<\/p>\n<p>Narrated Ibn Abbas:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where does the sun set, and where does it rise from?
