The mountains, firm as you make think them, will pass away like clouds…” Now the preceding the following verses are clearly devoted to the Day of Judgment. What shahmir123 and hamza did was that they ignored the context and interpreted it to suit their theory and completely discarded the fact that destruction is mentioned.
Well I did gave you the context of the verse (besides giving you five evidences for what I said); read again.
Until, when they arrive [at the place of Judgment], He will say, "Did you deny My signs while you encompassed them not in knowledge, or what [was it that] you were doing?" (27:84)
And the decree will befall them for the wrong they did, and they will not [be able to] speak. (27:85)
Do they not see that We made the night that they may rest therein and the day giving sight? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe. (27:86)
What will be the question that will be ask on the Day of Judgement?
‘Did you deny My signs’. And the following verses drawings attention to the signs. I don’t think so there is any disagreement on the fact that the verse 27:86 is not tied up to a certain day, is it?
I thought you would have addressed the evidence that I gave you.
a) The verse clearly speaks in the present tense and not in the future tense.
b) *To refer to the statements 'you think the mountains are stationary while they are moving’ '*to the future is impossible.
c) If the mountains are stationary today the humans would certainly see them to be stationary. It is not a question of their thinking them to be stationary. The Quran would have said 'You know them to be stationary and so they are but in future they will no longer be so'. This is not what the Quran says at all.
d) 27:86 talks about signs of God and so does 27:88.
e) How God ends the verse by saying "that is the handiwork of God, who perfected everything." That clause would have no relevance if the phenomenon in question happens only on one exceptional day.
Clearly for the observer on earth the guide is Sun.
Do you not see how your Lord lengthens the shadows? (25:49)
And who is being asked to observe?
Anyhow, my point was in connection to Surah al-Shams, where, according to hamza, the verse somehow reveals that earth is rotating. Clearly it’s a jump from being a mere observer on earth to 3-D scientific reality.
Surah ash-Shams, 1-4
**1. **By the sun and his brightness,
**2. **And the moon when she followeth him,
**3. **And the day when it revealeth him.
**4. **By the Night as it conceals it.
Surah Ash Shams starts with an oath and the oath is on the Sun. And Who is taking the Oath?
Which begs the question of how can the ‘orbit’ in its normal treatment be used for Night/Day?
I did answer your question about what the "orbit" of the day and night means. The consistent succession of day and night, by way of "takweer" which means that their succession is the result of a rotation of a ball.
