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.

this is not proven as an error if it was like (sun) + (moon) = Permanent eclipse. | |||
