The sun rising from the west is a sign of the impending doomsday as told by the Prophet Muhammad SAW when talking with his friends (the book Nihayatul Alam by Muhammad al-Areifi).
This is not just a figment of imagination, in fact there are more or less 10 signs of the arrival of the apocalypse, some of which have been proven, others are still full of mystery, the sun rising from the west is one of them.

As part of the pillars of faith of Muslims, namely believing in the coming of the last day, their faith will be invalidated if they do not believe that the apocalypse will come. However, on the other hand, as humans who are gifted with common sense by Allah SWT, of course it is natural for us to investigate how the sun rises from the west.
Even though many prophecies have been told in the Koran, initially 1400 years ago it was still a mystery but later it was proven, even the matter of the sun rising from the west being treated the same, God willing, it was also proven.
Rotation of the earth and sun
According to common sense, the sun rising from the west could happen under the condition that the direction of the earth's rotation is reversed from what it should be. As reported by Wikipedia, our planet's rotation remains on its axis moving from west to east for 23 hours 56 minutes 4.09 seconds.
This rotation occurs on the planet's axis while simultaneously revolving around the center of the universe's circulation, namely the sun.
Now, while going around the sun towards the east, the earth's rotation itself actually reverses its rotation towards the west, meaning that it is not in line here.
Is it possible that the rotation of the planet humans live in reverses direction and goes east?
The answer could be, even the direction of rotation of the planet Venus or Uranus is not the same as the direction of rotation of this planet, instead it reverses direction 180 degrees. As a result, the sun rises from the west on the planet Venus or Uranus.
Reporting from the sciencealert.com site, the rotation of Venus and Uranus on their axes moves from east to west. According to Alex Alemi and David Stevenson, two prominent astronomers from the California Institute of Technology Pasadena, United States, the reason for the difference in the rotation direction of the planet Venus or Uranus is because Venus was hit twice by giant meteors.
This is the culprit, so that the direction of rotation of Venus and Uranus is not the same as the direction of rotation of the planet humans live on. Even the position of the sunrise will not be the same, the sun on earth appears to rise in the east, but on the planet Venus it rises in the west.
The sun appears from the west
The facts that have been described above clearly show that the signal for the emergence of one of the signs of the apocalypse, namely the sun rising from the west, has great potential to occur.
It is impossible for the information conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad SAW 1400 years ago to not have happened.
As reported by John Curtin, an astronomy expert from Curtin University, Scott Sheppard from the Carnegie Institution for Science and his colleagues used a twilight telescope to observe the position of a giant meteor with a diameter of between 1 and 2 kilometers approaching Earth.
This meteor is named AP7 2022, and if it breaks through the earth it is revealed that it could cause the extinction of humanity.
Even if the position of the meteor hit is not exact, it only passes briefly on the edge of the earth's orbit, which is enough to make the earth's rotation reverse direction so that the sun has a good chance of rising in the west.
Meteorites are known to have very strong magnetic fields, especially if the size of the meteor is super giant like AP7, it is almost certain that when it passes by the side of planet Earth it will be enough to make the Earth's rotation move clockwise or in the opposite direction.
The positions of the north pole and south pole will change places, in the same way as the sun rises from the west.
It is true that the signs of the apocalypse will appear, even though the Prophet Muhammad SAW himself was not an astronomer. So how did he know that one day the sun would rise from the west? The answer was of course the creator of the earth and the universe who said it.
Will we as created creatures deny the greatness of Allah SWT, not want to submit and obey His commands and prohibitions? Let's introspect ourselves again, the apocalypse is near and it will definitely happen.
