The Sun and the Moon الشمس والقمر

  • وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَت تَّزَاوَرُ عَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ مَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا 17

[ الكهف : 17 ] (18)

  1. You would have seen the sun, when it rose, veering away from their cave towards the right, and when it sets, moving away from them to the left, as they lay in the midst of the cave. That was one of God’s wonders. He whom God guides is truly guided; but he whom He misguides, for him you will find no directing friend.

18-AlKahf

  • وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظْلِمُونَ 37
  • وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ذَلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ
  • وَالْقَمَرَ قَدَّرْنَاهُ مَنَازِلَ حَتَّى عَادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ
  • لا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ 40

[ يس 37 – 40 ] (36)

  1. Another sign for them is the night: We strip the day out of it—and they are in darkness.
  2. And the sun runs towards its destination. Such is the design of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
  3. And the moon: We have disposed it in phases, until it returns like the old twig.
  4. The sun is not to overtake the moon, nor is the night to outpace the day. Each floats in an orbit.

36-YaSin

  • خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ يُكَوِّرُ اللَّيْلَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهَارَ عَلَى اللَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى أَلا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ 5

[ الزمر : 5 ]  (39)

  1. He created the heavens and the earth with reason. He wraps the night around the day, and He wraps the day around the night. And He regulates the sun and the moon, each running along a specific course. He is indeed the Almighty, the Forgiver.

39-AzZumar

  • وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ لا تَسْجُدُوا لِلشَّمْسِ وَلا لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ 37
  • فَإِنِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فَالَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُمْ لا يَسْأَمُونَ 38

[ فصلت 37 – 38 ] (41)

  1. And of His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down to the sun, nor to the moon, but bow down to God, Who created them both, if it is Him that you serve.
  2. But if they are too proud—those in the presence of your Lord praise Him night and day, and without ever tiring.

41-Fussilat

  • الرَّحْمَنُ 1
  • عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ
  • خَلَقَ الإِنسَانَ
  • عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيَانَ
  • الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ
  • وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
  • وَالسَّمَاء رَفَعَهَا وَوَضَعَ الْمِيزَانَ
  • أَلاَّ تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ
  • وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ 9

[ الرحمن 1 – 9 ] (55)

  1. The Compassionate.
  2. Has taught the Quran.
  3. He created man.
  4. And taught him clear expression.
  5. The sun and the moon move according to plan.
  6. And the stars and the trees prostrate themselves.
  7. And the sky, He raised; and He set up the balance.
  8. So do not transgress in the balance.
  9. But maintain the weights with justice, and do not violate the balance.
