اللَّهُ
الَّذِي
رَفَعَ
السَّمَاوَاتِ
بِغَيْرِ
عَمَدٍ
تَرَوْنَهَا
ثُمَّ
اسْتَوَى
عَلَى
الْعَرْشِ
وَسَخَّرَ
الشَّمْسَ
وَالْقَمَرَ
كُلٌّ
يَجْرِي
لِأَجَلٍ
مُّسَمًّى
يُدَبِّرُ
الْأَمْرَ
يُفَصِّلُ
الْآيَاتِ
لَعَلَّكُم
بِلِقَاءِ
رَبِّكُمْ
تُوقِنُونَ
allāhu lladhī rafaʿa s-samāwāti bi-ghayri ʿamadin tarawnahā thumma stawā ʿalā l-ʿarshi wa-sakhkhara sh-shamsa wa-l-qamara kullun yajrī li-ʾajalin musamman yudabbiru l-ʾamra yufaṣṣilu l-ʾāyāti laʿallakum bi-liqāʾi rabbikum tūqinūna
God is the One Who raised the heavens without a pillar as you can see. Then He established his control over the realm and made the sun and moon subservient to Him. Each of them will remain in motion for an appointed time. He regulates all affairs and explains the evidence (of His existence) so that perhaps you will be certain of your meeting with your Lord.
