How can one grasp the verses in the sunrise and sunset as mentioned in the Holy Quran, and what is the proper way to ponder upon them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah created the sun and the moon as mighty signs that point to His power, wisdom, and mercy. They both move in precise, unwavering calculations. He made them a lamp for the inhabitants of the earth during the day, and a source of tranquility and rest for them at night. If the sun or the night were to be perpetual, people's lives would not be stable. Among Allah's blessings upon His creation is the variation of seasons, which sustains the interests of His servants. The believer should ponder these cosmic signs to increase their faith and certainty, for contemplation is a great act of worship, and heedlessness of Allah's signs is a clear loss.
