''..So when the sun, moon, stars and planets orbit in the sky, day and night are created... ...Imam (a) said: So, they bring the sun down and it is eclipsed and its color changes. When the Almighty Allah intends to exalt His signs, He places the sun in that sea and a thing through, which the Almighty Allah likes to show fear to His creation is the time of eclipse and in the same way it happens with the moon. When the Almighty Allah intends to bring those two out of there and return them to their orbits, He commands an angel appointed on that sky to return the sun to its orbit and angels puts it back into its orbit and it comes out of the darkness of water and in the same way He brings out the moon...''</ref> Al-Baghawi and al-Zamakhshari. | |||
