But as with 7:54 mentioned above and the verses where the day and night (as well as the sun and moon) have a falak (rounded course), it actually indicates that the night and day are moving entities rather than any sign that the Earth revolves. Muhammad was mocked anyway by those who disbelieved what he said, and the Qur'an contains many claims that sounded absurd even to many of his contemporaries, so it is reasonable to ask why the Qur'an could not give even some vague indication that the earth itself is revolving or that it has an orbit. | But as with 7:54 mentioned above and the verses where the day and night (as well as the sun and moon) have a falak (rounded course), it actually indicates that the night and day are moving entities rather than any sign that the Earth revolves.

There are also two nearly identical verses to 39.5. These are 31:29 and 35:13 (also with the similar phrase are 3:27 22:61 and 57:6) where instead of 'he wraps', the verb 'he causes to enter' (yooliju) is used. Together, along with 7:54 where the day covers and chases the night, they present a picture of the day and night successively wrapping across the other and covering the other by entering into it. | There are also two nearly identical verses to 39.5.
