"...The sun will be brought down to about two bows length (about a mile away) which will cause mankind..."

This is a part of the End Times prophecy, when, as islam believes, the Mahdi shall return and rule the world.

I wrote a rather tongue in cheek article you might enjoy, about the Islamic Prophecy:

I'm not up to date on where the "bows" thing started. Except for the picture. Did it or some jihadi post specifically say "bows"? Or is it just from the picture?
