In this episode of Misunderstood Quranic Verses, Dr. Shabir Ally addresses whether Quran 18:86 contains a scientific error by saying the sun sets in a "muddy spring." He explains that the verse describes Dhul Qarnayn's perception of the sunset, not a literal astronomical claim. Drawing on context and Arabic linguistics, Dr. Shabir shows the verse can refer to either the time or location of sunset as perceived from a human vantage point -- much like how we commonly speak of sunrise and sunset today. He contrasts the Quranic version of the story with earlier Syriac legends that contain fantastical elements, noting that the Quran removes mythical exaggerations while offering moral and theological guidance. Ultimately, the story presents Dhul Qarnayn as a model of justice and gratitude, emphasizing the Quran's aim to inspire ethical behavior rather than deliver scientific exposition.
