{43:6} And the moon, in all its phases, serves to mark the seasons and to be a sign of the times.
{43:7} From the moon is the sign of a feast day; it is a light which diminishes at its consummation.
{43:8} A month is named according to its phases, increasing wonderfully at its culmination.
{43:9} It is an instrument of the armies on high, shining gloriously in the firmament of heaven.
{43:10} The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven; the Lord illuminates the world from on high.

{43:1} The firmament on high is his beauty; it is the beauty of heaven in a vision of glory.
{43:2} The sun, at its appearance, announces its journey; it is an instrument of wonder, a work of the Most High.
{43:3} At midday, it scorches the earth. And in the presence of its heat, who would be able to endure? It is like the custodian of a furnace in its works of heat.
{43:4} In three ways, the sun acts: scorching the mountains, emitting fiery rays, and shining with its beams that can blind the eyes.
{43:5} Great is the Lord who made it, and at his word, it hurries on its journey.
