Quote:Sura 91, The Quran:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh
( 1 ) By the sun and its brightness/morn
( 2 ) And [by] the moon when it follows it
( 3 ) And [by] the day when it displays it
( 4 ) And [by] the night when it covers it
( 5 ) And [by] the sky and He who constructed it
( 6 ) And [by] the earth and He who spread it
The day does display the sun; defining it as the simple rotation of the earth to the direction facing the sun.
The indication that the sun does indeed become "not visible to us" at night is not explained through mysticism or fantasies -like the one's in Ancient Egyptian stories-, but actually through telling us that nothing makes the sun obvious to us but the "time" of the day.
But the night doesn’t ‘cover’ the sun. That’s just silly.
