Beginning of Creation - 7

Narrated Abu Dhar (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked me at sunset, "Do you know
where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates
Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it
is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate
itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission
to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to
return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the
interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun runs its fixed
course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in
Might, The All-Knowing." (36.38)
