In Surah al-Saffat (37:4-5), Allah, Al-Wahid (The One), speaks clearly that our/your God is Surely One (IIahakum lawahidun). There is no other god(s) besides Al-Wahid. He is the Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is between the both of them. He is the Sustainer of the eastern sunrise. The word al-masariq (the eastern places of the rising of sun) also refers to “the rising-places of different stars in the sky.” Each of them “have a particular program and order that their system, besides the system of the heavens and the earth, is the sign of the infinite Power and Knowledge of their Creator and their Administrator.” All throughout “the year, everyday the sun rises from a point in the sky which is different from the points where it rises the previous day and the next day, and the distance between these points is so exact and regular that they do not decrease or increase even one thousandth of a second during a year and for ever, and the order of the rising-places of the sun has been the same in thousands of thousands [of] years. This very order is also seen in the rising and setting of other stars, too. Moreover, if the sun did not gradually pave this path, the different blessings that are produced because of [the] four seasons of the year would not exist. This is itself another sign upon the greatness and administration of Allah. Besides, one of the other meanings of /mašariq/ is that for the earth being globular, every point of it, comparing another point, is counted east or west. And, thus, the above verse attracts our attention to the globular shape of the earth and its different places of east and west.” Al-Hamdulillah! (For more information about the wonders of Allah’s creation, including the sun and stars, please take a look at Tristan Gooley’s 2014 book, The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs. It is a fascinating read.)
