Science develops through research and experiments that continue to evolve, while the Qur\u2019an is a revelation that remains constant and serves as a guide for human life. Studying the sun from these two perspectives provides a broader understanding of one of Allah\u2019s creations that plays a vital role in life on Earth.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sun, as the center of the solar system, is not only understood scientifically as a source of energy, but in the Qur\u2019an it is also described as a sign of Allah\u2019s greatness. Therefore, the integration of science and the Qur\u2019an can enrich human understanding of the universe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Definition of the Sun<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From a scientific perspective, the sun is a star in the form of a massive ball of hot gas that emits energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. It is the main source of light and energy for Earth, making life possible.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the Qur\u2019an, the sun is referred to with terms such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">siraj<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (lamp) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dhiya\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (bright light), indicating that it produces its own light. This aligns with scientific explanations that the sun generates energy through nuclear fusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Concept of the Sun in Science<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scientifically, the sun has several main functions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As the center of the solar system<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sun is the center around which planets, including Earth, revolve due to its gravitational force.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a source of light and energy<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sun\u2019s energy comes from nuclear fusion, producing light and heat essential for living beings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a time indicator<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The apparent movement of the sun from Earth is used to determine time, such as day and night.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, the sun plays a role in natural processes such as the water cycle, weather, and climate on Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Sun in the Perspective of the Qur\u2019an<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Qur\u2019an explains the function of the sun not only physically but also spiritually and symbolically, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a sign of Allah\u2019s power<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sun is evidence of Allah\u2019s greatness in creating and controlling the universe.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a source of light<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Qur\u2019an describes the sun as a source that illuminates the Earth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a guide for worship times<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The movement of the sun is used to determine prayer times and other acts of worship.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a reference for shadows<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The position of the sun determines the length and direction of shadows, useful in daily life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>As a tool for time calculation<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sun helps humans determine days, months, and years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>The Relationship Between Science and the Qur\u2019an About the Sun<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studies show a strong correlation between scientific explanations and the Qur\u2019an regarding the sun. Science explains empirically how the sun works, while the Qur\u2019an provides meaning and purpose behind its existence.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, science states that the sun produces its own energy, and the Qur\u2019an describes it as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">siraj (lamp)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, meaning a source of light. Additionally, science explains that the sun moves, which is also mentioned in the Qur\u2019an (Surah Yasin: 38).<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"TranslationViewCell_contentContainer__PsNRn\">\n<div class=\"TranslationViewCell_verseTranslationsContainer__CKJms\">\n<div class=\"TranslationViewCell_verseTranslationContainer__XDO2p\">\n<div class=\"TranslationText_translation-font-size-3__xf_j1\">\n<div class=\"TranslationText_text__E_qTb TranslationText_ltr__wgffa\" lang=\"en\">\n<div style=\"text-align: right\"><span class=\"__className_8a198f text-4xl lg:text-5xl leading-relaxed lg:leading-relaxed text-right\" dir=\"rtl\">\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0634\u0651\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0633\u064f \u062a\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0631\u0650\u064a\u0652 \u0644\u0650\u0645\u064f\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0631\u0651\u064d \u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627\u06d7 \u0630\u0670\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u062a\u064e\u0642\u0652\u062f\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0632\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0632\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645\u0650\u06d7\u00a0<span class=\"text-secondary-500 dark:text-secondary-300\">\u06dd\u0663\u0668<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">The sun travels for its fixed term.

In science, it functions as the center of the solar system, a source of energy, and a determinant of time. In the Qur\u2019an, the sun serves not only physical functions but also as a sign of Allah\u2019s greatness and guidance for human life.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The relationship between science and the Qur\u2019an shows a harmonious alignment in understanding the universe. This confirms that knowledge and revelation can go hand in hand to provide a more comprehensive understanding of Allah\u2019s creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Source<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Afida, Anisa Nur (2018) <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">MATAHARI DALAM PERSPEKTIF SAINS DAN AL-QUR\u2019AN.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Undergraduate thesis, UIN Raden Intan Lampung. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/repository.radenintan.ac.id\/4411\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/repository.radenintan.ac.id\/4411\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Science and the Qur\u2019an are two sources of knowledge that are closely related in understanding nat [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":8220,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[5061,5060],"class_list":["post-8200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-source-of-energy","tag-sun","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8200"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8221,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8200\/revisions\/8221"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/souqtimes.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
