In this video I look at one of the biggest errors found in the Quran - a verse stating that the Sun sets here on Earth in a muddy spring. I look at common apologist arguments & show how they fail in their efforts to spin the blatant error.

Please share this video far & wide. It will hopefully help intellectually honest Muslims to look further & question beliefs they were indoctrinated in since birth.

Many thanks go to the incredible Sye Ten Atheist for helping animate some of the video to help me out.

Islamic apologist websites trying to explain problem away:

This site is perhaps the most absurd of the lot.
They seem to make things up as they go along, changing the meaning of Arabic words entirely, going way off topic at times, shouting "miracle" every 10 seconds, they also claim people in East Asia have their particular eye structure because of the Sun over there being different somehow. It's quite a laughable page if you have the time to read it.

This apologist argument doesn't bother trying to argue much, they just claim it's a mistranslation! A mistranslation that somehow all Arabs for 450 years after Mohamed also misunderstood in native Arabic!

This page outright lies to its readers in the hope they won't double check its claims. The dishonesty here is pretty astonishing and shameful. The page claims that early tafsirs backed the current position that it was only setting this way from DhulQarnayn's viewpoint, they then go on to ignore ALL tafsirs written in the first 450 years.
They make a mention of a tafsir that was written between the 5th and 6th centuries of the Islamic calendar. They don't give you the date of the tafsir, its author died in 516 AH according to this page

But they say this tafsir quotes somebody who lived hundreds of years before him, saying he also thought it wasn't literal and use the date of the time this alleged person lived instead of the date of the tafsir as they do for the others.

Authentic hadith telling us the Sun goes beneath God's throne every evening after setting, requesting permission to rise again, (indicating a flat Earth as the Sun is always above half the Earth's surface, not requiring permission to rise again every morning):
