خلق السماوات والارض بالحق يكور الليل على النهار ويكور النهار على الليل وسخر الشمس والقمر كل يجري لاجل مسمى الا هو العزيز الغفار

He created the heavens And the earth In true (proportions): He makes the Night Overlap the Day, and the Day Overlap the Night: He has subjected The sun and the moon (To His law): Each one follows a course For a time appointed. Is not He the Exalted In Power—He Who forgives Again and again?
