Summary

The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali… (1920)

That is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knower.
39 And the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm-branch.
40 Neither is it for the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. And all float on in an orbit.

The Holy Qur'an (Maulana Muhammad Ali… (1920)

Will they not then give thanks?
74 And they take gods besides Allah that they may be helped.
75 They are not able to help them, and they are a host brought up before them.
76 So let not their speech grieve thee. Surely We know what they do in secret and what they do openly.
77 Does not man see that We have created him from the small life germ? Then lo! he is an open disputant.
78 And he strikes our a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to the bones, when they are rotten?
