Claim: NASA backed the idea of Imam of Ahle Sunnat Ala Hazrat who wrote a book called Zameen Sakin Hai 100 years ago, based on the Quran, in which he stated that "the Earth is static, and the Sun is revolving."
Fact-check: NASA does not support Imam of Ahle Sunnat's view of the revolving Sun and static Earth - FACTLY
Verdict: based on the quran ala hazrat declared, "the sun and moon do move according to their course. they are sailing within a circle. it is the earth  that is stationary around which the sun and other planets revolve." however, the viral article by amar ujala was published on 13 june 2024 which mentions that earth revolves around a barycenter and not around the sun. planets and stars orbit around a common center of mass called the barycenter. the barycentre is usually near the heaviest object. between the sun and earth, the barycenter is close to the sun's center. for the sun and jupiter, it's outside the sun's surface. the entire solar system has a barycenter, which is the center of mass of all the objects in it. the sun, earth, and all the planets orbit around this point. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
