Exaltations to Him who created pairs of all the things the earth produces and of themselves, and that of which they have no knowledge. (36)

A sign for them is the night. From it We withdraw the day and they are in darkness. (37)

The sun runs to its fixed restingplace; that is the decree of the Almighty, the Knower. (38)

And the moon, We have determined it in phases till it returns like an old palmbranch. (39)

The sun shall not outstrip the moon, nor shall the night outstrip the day. Each is floating in an orbit. (40)

And a sign for them is that We carried their offspring in the laden Ark (of Noah). (41)

And We have created for them the like of it in which they board. (42)

We drown them if We will, then they have none to cry to, nor can they be saved, (43)

except through Our Mercy and as enjoyment for awhile. (44)

When it is said to them: 'Have fear of that which is before you and behind you in order that you find mercy. ' (45)
