This hadith explains that the sun follows a fixed course and is not allowed to deviate from it. This is in accordance with the decree of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad asked Abu Dhar about where the sun goes at sunset and Abu Dhar replied that only Allah and His Apostle know better. The Prophet then explained that when the sun sets it prostrates itself underneath the Throne and takes permission to rise again. It will be permitted but eventually there will come a time when its prostration will not be accepted anymore and it will be ordered to return whence it has come. Thus, rising in the west instead of east like usual. This hadith explains verse 36:38 from Quran which states “And the sun Runs its fixed course For a term (decreed). That is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing” which means that everything happens according to what has been decreed by Allah Almighty who knows all things best.
