Sun's appointed course and Moon appointed course are different

[[Our dear Nasr does not seem to be aware that a Saudi Sheikh is telling us that the sun orbits earth. Oh you do not believe me here is the article

What a disaster and he is not wrong because this is what the Qur'an says that the earth is stationary and the sun runs in an orbit around earth

Now go and tell him that he is wrong]]

Well, that is the opinions the Saudi Sheikh from 50-60 years ago whom you quote, whom was using a source from 11th century. But you dont see the opinion being the same now as the movement of Sun has been made clear.

Turkey change their solar system from geocentric to heliocentric and there is no issue since the Quran and hadith did not say specifically about appointed course of Sun by Creator in specific. No trial made by scholars for transition of solar system made. As in Islam there is no such thing as Holy Spirit teaching scientific facts towards scholars

And so the same applies to Saudi Arabia after the prince of Saudi went to space. The sheikh no longer deny دوران الارض
