“Sun Rising from West: A Sign of Apocalypse According to Quran and Astronomy”

JAKARTA – One of the important signs indicating its occurrence apocalypse is the sun rising from the west. This situation has been written in the Koran and scientifically also reveals the possibility of this phenomenon.

Astronomy explains that the rising Sun from the west is not impossible. Earth’s rotation on its axis causes the change between night and day. If there was no rotation, there would be no division between night and day.

Astronomers say that one day the Earth’s rotational speed on its axis will slow down to a certain point. This condition causes a change in the direction of the Earth’s rotation.

The Earth will rotate from east to west, so the Sun will rise in the west and set in the east. This is in accordance with what has been conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad Shallallahu ‘alaihi wassallam regarding the signs of the end of the world.

This is in accordance with the word of Allah in the letter Luqman verse 29, “Do you not see that Allah actually causes the night to enter into the day and causes the day to enter into the night, and subdues the Sun and the Moon to move until the appointed time? Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing of what what you do.”

In the book “Smart Science in the Al-Quran Understanding the Scientific Miracles of God’s Word” written by Dr. Nadiah Thayyarah, explained that the rising of the Sun from the west is one of the miracles given by Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala.

Valid arguments confirm that one of the signs of the coming of the end is the rising of the sun from the west. At that time, all acts of worship will be stopped and the door of repentance will be closed.

The words of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wassallam explained, “The doomsday will not occur before the sun rises from the west. When it happens and all humans see it, they will believe, but the faith that appears at that time will not benefit those who previously did not believe or do not do good” (HR Muslim).
