The Arabic word used in the above phrase is (Yas Bahon) នេះ This word is derived from the word (Sabah), which is meant to indicate the movement of human beings. If we use this word with a man who is on the ground, it means he is moving, walking, or he is running, but if we use this word with a man who is in the water, it means he is moving by swimming.
By analogy, if we use the word (Yasbahoun) with the elements in the universe, for example, the sun does not mean that the sun is flying in the sky, but it means that the sun is revolving around itself. Many of the books in the school contain facts about the rotation itself. The rotation of the sun's own axis shows that the presence of the sun is very important for this solar system, if there is no light from the sun, all the planets in the solar system will be completely dark.
In fact, the Sun orbits at 150 kilometers per second and takes about 200 million years to complete one rotation in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. In the Book of Al-Quran, chapter 36, verse 40, it is stated in Khmer, "The sun can not travel to the moon, nor can the night come before the day. And all things must go their way.
لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ تُدْرِكَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ ۚلٌّ ٌّ َكٍلَكٍ َكٍ - 36:40
The above quotation from the Qur'an, which dates back 1,400 years, is true of later discoveries by astronomers, which coincide with what the Qur'an says about the exact rotation of the sun and moon in its orbit in the galaxy. It is positioned by the technology of modern astronomy.
