I leave you to think about this.
Do you really believe in a god-made apocalypse? This is talking about an eclipse. Celestial events have always been considered harbingers of heavenly action -- and usually not of the good kind for the ruling monarch.
No, the eclipse was already mentioned in the previous verse 8:
Quote:(8) and the moon is dimmed, Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Which in another translation it is:
Quote:(8) and the moon is eclipsed, Fadel Soliman, Bridges’ translation
First the moon will be eclipsed (verse 8)
Then the moon and the sun will be joined together (verse 9)
