→Geocentricism: more evidence that it doesn't mean "appointed term", but rather, "resting place"

Lightyears (talk | contribs) (→Geocentricism: removed deviate verse زول means (Lane Lexicon) to go away, depart, remove, shift, remote, absense, cease to be. Most translations use these other meanings. I don't think it's right to say earth's orbit/spin meets this definition.) |

This is in a passage about night and day. Right after describing the change from day to night, it says that the sun runs on to a resting place for it (a few translations use instead, "appointed term", though in nearly all other verses where we find قرر as a participle they translate it as a place of settlement or an abode or resting place). There are also sahih hadith that mention the sun's daily cycle using the same Arabic word {{Muslim|1|297}}. | This is in a passage about night and day.
