The word translated "are joined" is Arabic jumi'a, a verb which means to collect together, gather together, bring together. Given that this would actually require the moon to travel 98 million miles away from Earth and into the sun, which dwarfs it by over 600 times in diameter, it seems vastly less fitting as an apocalyptic event than if the ancient conception of the cosmos was correct. | The word translated "are joined" is Arabic jumi'a, a verb which means to collect together, gather together, bring together.

"And the sun and the moon are joined," | |||
this a sign of doomsday signs the day which will has different laws we do not know, wrong to say (sun and moon to be of similar size and a similar distance from Earth.) because there will not be earth any more, this meaning is clear in another verse:"[It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come out before Allah , the One, the Prevailing." 14-48 | |||
It well be different laws different phenomena different worlds. No one knows | |||
