This note, this idea of Allah covering the day with the night obviously isn't scientific, right?

Scientifically, it's just that the Sun is on the other side or the planet is turned and now it's on the other side of the planet or whatever

Right, so it's not that the the night has covered the Sun. Nothing covers the Sun in that sense

But in our experience from our eye, it looks like the night has overrun or taken over the Sun

This is an important side note to make that I've made often that the Qur'an is not speaking in the language of science

The Qur'an is speaking in the language of two perspectives human perspective and Allah's perspective

Those are the two perspectives the ayat speak from

Sometimes the ayat are speaking from what you observe you observe that the night took over the Sun

From your point of view, that's what it looks like and that's how it describes it

Sometimes Allah will speak from his own perspective and that perspective is beyond even the perspective of science

It's the perspective that nobody else can have, right?

And that's that's usually when he talks about spiritual realities or realities that are far beyond our ability to see

Then he'll talk about Allah's own perspective, you know, and often when he talks about his perspective

He'll just let us know you can't know the reality of it anyway

You don't know much about that anyway, but the thing is the Qur'an just like regular language just language at large

We don't speak in scientific terms. That's not how people communicate. Yes, we live in a scientific age

Yes, but we still don't speak in scientific terms if somebody insults somebody else and you say man, he got burned

Scientifically there are no burn marks

First second or third degree you don't have to call 911, but you still say they got burned

That's the language of people. They're not they we use imagery. We use

Example we use parables. We use verbs that allude to other things right man
