هو الذي جعل الشمس ضياء والقمر نورا وقدره منازل لتعلموا عدد السنين والحساب ما خلق الله ذلك الا بالحق يفصل الايات لقوم يعلمون

It is He who made the sun To be a shining glory And the moon to be a light (Of beauty), and measured out Stages for her; that ye might Know the number of years And the count (of time). Nowise did God create this But in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs In detail, for those who understand.
