Is this what you read? If so, it's nothing to do with the sun's rotation, it's to do with its magnetic field. Also, it's an old article :/

I did a little digging. The story is a lie published in a Pakistani newspaper by someone who does not understand apparent retrograde motion.

Don't want to take my word for it? Here is what other Muslims have to say about it:

Muslims should always takes steps to verify the authenticity of stories they hear. There is nothing worse than someone who comes across information, refuses to check whether its true, and hits the repost or forward buttons on the computer. In fact this same advice has also been given by NASA, who have in their responses to these two stories[moon splitting, and sun rising in the west], ... have stated “Do not believe everything you see on the internet”. Quite frankly, if you have fallen for these stories, then the only confirmation that has been made is the fact that you are an idiot.

Personally I disagree with her final statement that people suckered into this are idiots. If you don't know about the conservation of angular momentum (I'm looking at you Jeff) then I can see how someone might believe this.
