Narrated Abu Dharr: The Prophet asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: ‘And the sun Runs its fixed course for a term (decreed). That is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing.’" - Sahih Bukhari 4:54:421

Quote

It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light and measured out its (their) stages, that you might know the number of years and the reckoning. Allāh did not create this but in truth. He explains the signs in detail for people who have knowledge. - 10:5

Quote

Allah is He who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see; is firmly established on the throne; He has subjected the sun and the moon! Each one runs for a term appointed. He regulates the matter, explaining the signs in detail, so you can be certain of meeting with your Lord. - 13:2

Quote

Don't you see that Allah merges night into day and he merges day into night and he has subjected the sun, and the moon each running its course for a term appointed. And Allah is aware of what you do. - 31:29

Quote

A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness and the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit. - 36:37

Quote

He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again? - 39:5

Quote

[…] He made the Sun and the moon subservient (to you); each one pursues its course to an appointed time; He regulates the affair, making clear the signs - 13:2

Quote

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) one day said: Do you know where the Sun goes? They replied: Allah and His Apostle know best. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Verily it (the Sun) glides till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it falls prostrate and remains there until it is asked: Rise up and go to the place whence you came, and it goes back and continues emerging out from its rising place and then glides till it reaches its place of rest under the Throne and falls prostrate and remains in that state until it is asked: Rise up and return to the place whence you came, and it returns and emerges out from it rising place and the it glides (in such a normal way) that the people do not discern anything (unusual in it) till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it would be said to it: Rise up and emerge out from the place of your setting, and it will rise from the place of its setting. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said. Do you know when it would happen? It would happen at the time when faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from the faith. - Sahih Muslim 1:297

Quote

And, indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven (the heaven of the world) with stars, and made (out of) them missiles to drive away devils; and for them, We have prepared (in the Hereafter) the punishment of the Blaze. - 67:5

This article is on the topic of Cosmology in Islam and has no relation to my current belief system [Atheism].Islam is a 7th Century cult invented by Muhammed to gain power over Arabia and nothing more. I plan to outline some major flaws in the Quran and Islam that should bring down the whole religion.In the Quran all verses point towards a universe with a flat earth, geocentricty and stars being decorations and nothing more. There is not a single verse or hadith suggesting other wise. This is a great telling of Islam being made up.I'm going to first focus on Flat Earth in the Quran.All of these verses point towards a flat earth. Not one points towards a spherical Earth.People may say that since Allah only says "flattend the Earth" it does not point towards an actual FLAT Earth. To them I show them this Sahih Bukari Hadith!I will now move on to Geocentrism in the Quran.The last quote is a Sahih Muslim Hadith proving that Muhammed belived in a Geocentric world. Now why would Allah decive him like this?The picture below aptly demonstrates Islamic Cosmology:This picture is backed by Quranic Evidence [1].The above verse states that ALL stars are in the First Heaven. This verse proves that the above picture is a correct demonstartion of Islamic Heaven. In the Quran, Allah states that the Heavens are Earth are different entities but we know now that we are actually a part of the first heaven.In fact there are stars below us. We humans have past the first Heaven which essentially disproves Allah.Now many Muslims will try and say that Allah used a 7th Century Cosmological Model so that the 7th Century Bediouns would understand.Well that is an okay argument BUT the question is, why couldn't Allah tell the Arabs how the Univerise ACTUALLY works!? Once Allah's model would be proven EVERYONE would convert to Islam? Why not do that.OR, Allah could've acutally made the Universe EXACTLY how he says it is! Why would Allah deliberately create a Universe that contradicts his own book. Doesn't that invalidate Islam?Allah has three options.The first is tell everyone how the universe actually works. If Allah did this we would all be Muslims because at that time it was impossible to know how the universe works.The second is to actually make the Earth flat. The world geocentric, etc.. This would make the Quran scientficly correct!The third is to create a Universe the exact oppisite of what it says in the Quran. The oppiste of the Hadiths. Basically make the Quran incorrect. If Allah actually did this, who can blame me or you for leaving Islam? This is stupid design. Who designs a universe that contradicts their religion?If Allah excists that means that he chose option 3. He chose to lead us all astray by fucking with the Universe and his book! Who can blame us for leaving? This destorys Islam! This is proof that Islam was invented by a 7th Century Arab named Mohammed.[1] - http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Cosmology_of_the_Quran [2] - http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Geocentrism_and_the_Quran [3] - http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Flat_Earth_and_the_Quran [4] - https://pay.reddit.com/r/exmuslim/comments/26j5jn/do_people_leave_islam_due_to_emotional_thoughts/chrmyk8?context=3 [5] - https://pay.reddit.com/r/exmuslim/comments/26j5jn/do_people_leave_islam_due_to_emotional_thoughts/chrmyk8?context=1
