woh, i duno cos their is are a few hadiths sayin the sun wil rise from west.

like .... Abu Huraira ra, said "The Prophet (saw) said ~ " the hour will not come until the sun rises from the west. when it rises and the people see it, they will all believe. but that wil be the time when no good will it do to a soul to believe"

and this hadiths in bukhari, hadiths 6/73. also theres many hadiths bout sun risin from west, akhii what speech is this?

I dont think that the Hadith can mean, that once people see the people in the west becoming Muslim they'll all want to become Muslim. But remember that Ahmed Deedat is a Comparative Religion scholor, and not a Faqhi or a Hadith scholor. For understanding this Hadith, go to the proper scholors.

The sun is one of the signs of Allaah, for which He has created a course in which it runs, and a system from which it does not change. It rises in the east every day, but when Allaah gives permission for the world to end and the Hour to begin, He will command it to rise from the west. At that time all people will believe and will be certain of the resurrection, but their faith will not avail them anything at that moment, except for those who believed before.

Well there might certainly be a logic in the comments made, because assuming that the same rules of physics still apply that would indeed be troublesome. However why would one assume that Allah subhana wa ta'ala would still enforce the same laws during that miracle? It's a miracle, and miracles have a tendency to occur under different rules as the normal rules. Furthermore it could be that the earth stops and turns around, but remember all movement is relative. Allah subhana wa ta'ala knows best, and yes it sounds difficult to imagen this will occur, but having faith, I believe it will. Also, the hadeeths are quite explicit about the sun actually rising, so I doubt it's a metaphor.

"The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) asked me, 'Do you know
where the sun goes when it sets?' I said, 'I do not know' He said, 'It
travels until it prostrates itself beneath the Throne, and asks for
permission to rise again. But a time will come when it will be told, 'Go
back whence you came.' That will be the time when 'No good will it do to
a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by
performing deeds of righteousness) through his Faith' " [Bukhaaree] [5]

It isn't hard at all, here's one possibility:

Allah swt FREEZES the planet earth and everything in it (you know, like how they used to do in cartoons:D) So all the mountains/trees and everything just freeze. Then He orders the earth to slow down and start spinning in the opposite direction (keeping in mind that the earth itself, molecules and everything are 100% frozen in place), then when the earth reaches its normal speed but in the opposite direction, he unfreezes the earth and tada, direction is reversed, and the sun rises from the west, then everyone who made fun of Islam realises that this is exactly what Prophet Muhammad pbuh said would happen, but TOO LATE FOR THEM.

OR, he could just say 'Be', and it is. :D

Nope, no need to stop. We all know the Earth wobbles on it's axis and in the past there have been drastic shifts. If there is ever a 180 degree shift north and south will shift and in respect to the sun we will now be rotating in the opposite direction and the sun will rise in the west. No stoping and restarting the rotation, just simply turning us upside down. It is a very probable thing that will happen one day.

Yeah, we cannot simply say "it's definitely this" or "definitely that", moreover if connected to Allah's plan. I think it's better for us to prepare for the future, and make Allah's clues as our direction, regardless whose theory was correct. If you see the sun rising from the west, OR there is a circumstance where people in the west are very drastically enter Islam and there is no possibility of the real sun rising in west, then the "day" has closed by. Simple, eh?:P

InshaAllah He plans the best for us, InshaAllah..

Allah says, describing the movement of the sun and its submission to the command of Allah (interpretation of the meaning):

“And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All‑Mighty, the All‑Knowing”

[Ya-Seen 36:38]

This is explained in the Sunnah. Al-Bukhaari (3199) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Abu Dharr, when the sun set: “Do you know where it goes?” He said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: “It goes and prostrates beneath the Throne, and it asks for permission, and permission is given to it. But soon it will prostrate and it will not be accepted from it, and it will ask for permission and permission will not be given to it, and it will be said to it: ‘Go back from where you came.’ So it will rise from its place of setting, and that is what Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All‑Mighty, the All‑Knowing.’”

Al-Tahhaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his well known book al-‘Aqeedah: We believe in the portents of the Hour, the emergence of the Dajjaal, the descent of ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) from heaven, and we believe that the sun will rise from the west. End quote.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Similarly, the sun and moon travel in their orbits along the courses decreed for them until an appointed time, until Allaah will give permission for this universe to be destroyed. Then the sun will emerge from its place of setting as is narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari from Abu Dharr. Then he quoted the hadeeth mentioned above.

This hadeeth clearly indicates that the sun travels by itself, as is also indicated by the verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And the sun runs on its fixed course”

[Ya-Seen 36:38]

“Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term”

[al-Zumar 39:5]

“each in an orbit floating”

[al-Anbiya’ 21:33]

This evidence proves false the idea that the sun is fixed and does not move, and indicates that this is a false notion which should be refuted. End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (6/195).

Dr. Daniel Hakim writes in his book, "The Muslim Mind Empire" that some hukama say the sun rising from the west means bright victory of Islam might appear in Western countries. If this is so then we can expect the next Muslim resurgence will happen in the West.

I have read in newspapers and magazines saying there are more Europeans, Americans and Latinos embracing Islam every year. We all have heard how Islam is the fastest growing religion in America.

Could it be that the hadith isn't meant to be taken literally? If Islam does not grow strong in the East it will do so in the West? That we may finally learn the lesson that Allah will give guidance to whomever He pleases?

If we mean to take that hadith literally then, we have to consider a worldwide catastrophe, like a comet impact that would alter the direction of Earth's rotation. By then, maybe no one's repentance would be accepted, since everybody would have been dead.

We should not re-interpret what the Messenger :arabic5: has told us. We believe in everything that he has brought and we believe that it is indeed the Truth in which there is no doubt.

So just as we believe that Moon was split, and it's splitting should have caused massive floods and tsunami's, indeed the Sun will rise from the West. We believe in it, in all of it. There is no reason to question the how, as that knowledge is only with Allah. The Ahadith are clear on the matter.
Abu Hurayrah said, "The Prophet said, 'Hasten to do good deeds before six
things happen: the rising of the sun from the West, the smoke, the Dajjal,
the beast, the (death) of one of you, or general tribulation."
(Ahmad, Muslim.)
The only these ahadith will make sense is the literal rising of the sun from the West.

:giggling: I don't know why some people find it hard to believe that the sun will literally rise from the West. If Allah can create the Universe in the first place, He can make anything happen. Just because Allah tells us in the Quran that the sun runs in an appointed course, that doesn't mean the appointed term doesn't end. It just means it will run in it's course until Allah's wills. :)

I was listening in a lecture by Yahya Ibrahim [his lecture the tafsir of surah luqman] and he explained that all it takes for the earth to spin the other way is for the wind to be blown continously in the opposite direction.

He said that if the wind keeps blowing to the opposite direction [which may take about a year] to the direction its blowing today , the earth will start spinning the other way after about a year, month, week and some days.


And then we know that theres a hadith that when al-dajjaal [the antichrist] comes; the first day he comes on earth will last for a whole year, then the next day equivalent to a month, then a week, then the remainder of the days.



Saheeh Muslim #7015

We said: Allah's Apostle (sal Allaahu alayhi waSalam), how long will he stay on Earth?

He said:For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days.

We said: Allah's Apostle will one day's prayer suffice for the prayers of the day equal to one year?

Thereupon he said: No, but you must make an estimate of the time (and then observe prayer).

That theory matches it perfectly masha'Allaah.

This is what the brother said in the lecture [Yahya Ibrahim - tafsir surah Luqman] - please read:



In studying geology and geo-chemistry, in 2nd year the professor began to discuss that the earth revolved in the opposite direction in atleast 3 occasions.


What does that tell me? Instead of the sun rising from the east it rises from the west. How simple is it for the earth to change direction? One thing has to change - the calculation is that its only 0.3 that changes. Its that the wind blows from the opposite directions. The winds that are at a stratespherical level move the opposite way. No scientist can tell you where wind started, but they know that 3x in history of the earth where the wind moved in the opposite direction, and the earth therefore moved in the opposite direction.


I tell you by Allah, when you look at the calculation - the earth takes a full year to slow down.

The Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said that when Al-Dajjaal is on the earth, the first day he is on the earth it is like the time of one year, then the earth starts to speed up spin in the opposite direction. The total span of time comes to the exact amount of days mentioned by the Prophet; One year, one month [infact not 30 days but 29days] plus one week plus one days time.


You can calculate it to the fraction of 0.3.



The Messenger of Allaah said:(Dajjaal will stay) For forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days will be like your days.

Saheeh Muslim #7015



To Allah belong all things in heaven and earth: verily Allah is He (that is) free of all wants, worthy of all praise.

In the first place I'm not a mullah who could explain any hadith the way you want to be explained. Secondly, I see the world with open heart and mind. Now a day all those seeking for some useful knowledge go to the western universities to seek the knowledge. Also all the useful subjects taught in eastern universities are developed in the west and coming from the west. Therefore, I don't find it much difficult to believe that enlightenment is coming from the west. However, if you still want to get yourself stuck in some hadith with which you could believe otherwise, and then it's all your choice. Nobody can make you open your mind and heart if you want it to be closed. There're plenty of so-called religious scholars these days that are helping the people like you.

Do we realy have any legitimate need to go beyond what Brother Skillganon said:


Rather we should just be content that it will happen someday and leave it at that.
