In the Arabic language lâm before Mustaqar is used in the sense of fi (في – “in”), and in the sense of ilâ (إلٌا - towards). According to former usage, the word Mustaqar it would mean that the sun along with its system of planets is moving towards a determined goal. It can also mean that the sun has an appointed time.
