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

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

Then Mohammed's pov/perspective and accuracy is even more out of whack with the moon statement. The moon does not follow the sun. There are nights where the moon is not visible at all. (and not because of obstruction)

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 sun shines during the day. Deepity. Except when it's cloudy.

Quote: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.

Science when it's right.

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.

A turn of phrase when it's wrong.

Talk about your cherry picking. I think I prefer my cherries picked another way. The Quran is clearly saying that "And by the day when it displays it" means that Allah's flashing you during the day. During the night he "covers it up." "And by the earth and He who spread it" rather speaks for itself in this context.

It doesn't speak about the special condition here; brewer. It speaks generally in an Analogous language.

For the sun to be visible for us, we need 2 things: the sun light and the atmosphere. Both of these compose "the day". Without atmosphere, the sun will blind us before we even know it's there.

That if you want to take the scientific route.

The perspective is for a man standing on earth. Not for a satellite.
In no perspective does night cover the sun

The sun is still visible without an atmosphere

You have not

No it doesn't

Lol so now you accept this and nigh simply isn't darkness like you ried peddling before .

 Plenty of ancient civilizations explained day and night well before the Quran was penned .


Quote:but actually through telling us that nothing makes the sun obvious to us but the "time" of the day.
That's absurd

An atmosphere is not required for the sun to be visible. The day would still happen if there was no atmosphere at all, so sunlight and atmosphere do not compose the day. Without atmosphere, the sun would not blind us (unless you are stupid enough to stare straight at it, which happens with an atmosphere as well)

You have no clue what you are talking about.

So it can be interpreted any way that the reader wants. What a wonderful religion. Great

I think that the term you're looking for is metaphor. Magic book is full of metaphors. It can't be trusted to say what it means, or mean what it says.

Sure.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Translation: If you read what the words actually says the bullshit shines through.

Nope. There's sun on the moon and it won't blind you unless you stare straight at it. Night and day. Atmosphere need not apply.

Same for the Jovian moons, though at that distance you could stare straight into the sun. It's little more than an over bright star at that distance.

The Quran, yet another book of scripture that needs mortals to interpret its real™ meaning.

No no nononono no. Not just any mortal (Think of those billions of Sunni and Shiites who are so horribly wrong). It needs Atlass, the only one who could figure out the "true" meaning, in his eternal wisdom.

"Night covering the sun", what a load of crap.  Hehe
