Theme: Allah the
Creator “Outer Space”
(هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاء وَالْقَمَرَ
نُوراً وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ مَا خَلَقَ
اللّهُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ يُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ) [يونس:
5].
It is He
who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined
for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account [of time].
Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people
who know
(تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاء
بُرُوجاً وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجاً وَقَمَراً مُّنِيراً) [الفرقان: 61].
Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and
placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.
