[Quranic Reflection]: By the sun and its morn

[WinterHold]

*Mohammed -peace be upon him- has a man's perspective.

---

The night does cover the sun. I understand that "night" is a time.

---

From a man's pov, the night "does" cover the sun.

If the night covered the sun, then the sun would stay in the same place and the night would descend over it like...like...some sort of cover-y thing. Not only does that not happen, that doesn't even look like what happens.

If it doesn't look like that even to an ancient human; then probably you understood the text wrongly.
When the sun is covered by "the night", then we are speaking about an "Analogous language"; which is exactly the case with many verses in the Quran.
