... damn!! what is going on??? its crazy! This is what i mean when i say that people manipulate verses and 'interpret', whenever and however it suits them. But im not versed in the arabic language and if there is anything which makes the meaning of the ayat more clear please throw it in. Till now i have come up with one tafseer which draws your attention without further complications.** It basically tells you that no fancy scientific knowledge is being refered to here. In fact the tone is very godly where it says that day cannot come before night and night cannot come before day. Consequently, the word 'orbit' which is of course linked to the last part of the ayat cannot 'contextually' be refering to real orbits of the sun and the moon because they do not cause day and night. and it makes perfect sense!** hey! did i answer my own question? :D
Isn't that what I initially mentioned when I said it means routine course of activity.
