The Prophet (sws) explains to Abu Dharr: Do you know where the sun sets...? Indeed it travels till it prostates itself underneath the throne. (No: 4428)This Hadith clearly seems to contradict the fact that sunset is brought about by the rotation of the earth. How should this Hadith be interpreted, and how do we counter criticisms by non-Muslims who might make use of this Hadith to assert that some of the Prophetic sayings contradict scientific facts?"}
