Benefits of the Yasin Letter: Really the Sun Surrounds the Earth and Learns from the Moon
We can learn this from the verse Yasin verses 39-40.
Tafsir of Surah Yasin
Paragraph 39-40
والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى عاد كالعرجون القديم (39) لا الشمس ينبغي لها أن تدرك القمر ولا الليل سابق النهار وكل في فلك يسبحون (40)
"And We have appointed for the moon manzilah-manzilah, so that (after he reached the last manzilah) return to him as an old cluster. It is not possible for the sun to get the moon and night nor can it overtake the afternoon. And each of them circulates in the circulation. "(QS. Yasin: 39-40)
Lessons from Verses
The moon is among the signs of Allah Ta'ala.
The universe, including the sun and the moon, is the one that regulates, namely Allah the Khaliq.
Besides Allah deserves to be characterized by qidam (earlier). Whereas the philosophers believed that the character of qidam was appropriate to Allah. Even though the nature of qidam does not conclude the keazalian (eternal existence without beginning). The right thing is that God is sympathized with Al-Awwal, meaning that there is nothing before God.
The moonlight starts from dim and gradually becomes bright and then back again becomes dim.
The phase of human life is also the same as the moon phase as mentioned in verse,
الله الذي خلقكم من ضعف ثم جعل من بعد ضعف قوة ثم جعل من بعد قوة ضعفا وشيبة يخلق ما يشاء وهو العليم القدير
"Allah, He who created you from a weak state, then He made (you) after the weak condition became strong, then He made (you) after the strong was weak (back) and gray. He created what He desired and He is the Knower, the Almighty. "(Surat Ar-Ruum: 54). So when looking at the state of the moon, also pay attention to our situation that will be the same.
God's decree (sunnatullah) will not change.
Allah Ta'ala said,
وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا
"And you will never find change in the sunnah of Allah." (Surat al-Ahzab: 62)
فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَحْوِيلًا
"Then you will not get a replacement for the sunnah of Allah, and never will (also) be met with deviation from the sunnah of Allah." (QS. Fathir: 43)
Night may not overtake the afternoon.
Based on the divine sunnah, it is impossible for the sun to come out at night. But based on God's ability, God is able to just make it that way because if God says "kun" (be), then it will definitely be.
The sun and the moon each circulate in the orbit as swimming in the water.
Based on this verse shows the opinion of some scholars such as Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al-tsUtsaimin rahimahullah that the sun and moon circulating around the earth. He postulated with the 40th verse of Surah Yasin.
We can learn this from the verse Yasin verses 39-40.

The sun and the moon each circulate in the orbit as the Sun or the Moving Earth?
In the surah Yasin that we have studied, Allah mentions several signs of His authority,
In verses 33-36, God speaks of the earth.
In verses 37 and 38, Allah says about the sun.
In verse 39 and the beginning of verse 40, God speaks of the moon.
Then at the end of verse 40, Allah Ta'ala said,
وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ
"And everything circulates in the universe." (QS. Yasin: 40).
Then Syaikh Al-Albani concludes, that the word 'all' is closer if we apply it to the earth, the sun, and the moon. So that everything we say rotates. (Al-Huda Lineage wa An-Nur, 10: 497)
The heliocentric theory which states, the center of the universe is the sun more condemned by Shaykh Al-Albani rahimahullah. And the geocentric theory which states, the center of the universe is earth more influenced by Saudi Arabian scholars such as scholars who sit in Al-Lajnah Ad-Daimah (Fatwa Commission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and become the opinion of Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al-'Utsaimin as in the book of commentary (Tafsir Surah Yasin).
Remember that the Qur'an and Sunnah will never conflict with reality. Although not all reality is mentioned in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Especially the reality that exists in nature. Because the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam are not biology books or references to natural sciences.
One example of this, the hadith of Talha radhiyallahu ‘anhu that the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam forbade friends to marry dates. As a result, crop failure. When this news arrived at the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, he said,
إنما هو ظن ظننته, إن كان يغني شيئا فاصنعوا, فإنما أنا بشر مثلكم, والظن يخطئ ويصيب, ولكن ما قلت لكم قال الله عز وجل فلن أكذب على الله عز وجل
"This is only my guess. If it's useful, please do it. I am an ordinary human like you, his guess can be wrong. But what I say if it is from Allah, I will not lie in the name of God at all. "(Narrated by Ahmad, 1: 162 and Shaykh Syuaib Al-Arnauth states that this hadith is hasan). The problem of marrying dates, not the realm of Shari'a. so that it returns to empirical evidence that humans have. even if they are not guided by revelation, they can understand it.
In the theory of relativity, it is not wrong when we say, "In my opinion, which is on earth, the sun moves around the earth." As we say in the car, that the tree outside moves backward. It's just that, in the case of cars and trees, humans can immediately conclude which ones are actually moving and which ones are false.
While for the case of the sun and the earth, it needs a very long struggle to prove empirically, which ones actually move and which ones are apparent.
In conclusion, regarding the problem of whether the earth rotates or not, it will not shake the faith of a Muslim or strengthen his faith. Beware of demonic misgivings. Thus the conclusion after a long explanation by Syaikh Muhammad Shalih Al-Munajjid hafizahullah when discussing the same thing in his faata in Al-Islam Sual wa Answer, no. 285212.
Wallahu A'lam. Allahu waliyyut taufiq was sadaad.
