﴿ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍۢ ﴾
“[At His behest] the sun and the moon run their appointed courses;”
(The sun and the moon are made punctual) their orbits are measured; and it is also said that this means: they are suspended half way between heaven and earth; and it is also said that this means: they both will be taken to task and have a lifespan like the lifespan of human beings.
