The Holy Quran 13:2 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى رَفَعَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ

Translation

It is Allaah who raised the skies without any pillar that you see (no pillars are visible because there are none), then turned His attention to the Throne and subjugated (controlled) the sun and the moon. Each (the sun and the moon) runs to its appointed term (they follow their courses in space and will do so as long as Allaah wills). He plans affairs and explains the Aayaat in detail so that you may be convinced of meeting your Rabb.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

الله تعالى هو الذي رفع السموات السبع بقدرته من غير عمد كما ترونها، ثم استوى -أي علا وارتفع- على العرش استواء يليق بجلاله وعظمته، وذلَّل الشمس والقمر لمنافع العباد، كلٌّ منهما يدور في فلكه إلى يوم القيامة.
