Sura 71
Aya 16
16
وَجَعَلَ القَمَرَ فيهِنَّ نورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمسَ سِراجًا

Muhammad Asad

and has set up within them the moon as a light [reflected] and set up the sun as a [radiant] lamp?1
  • See 10:5, where the sun is described as "a [source of] radiant light" (diya') and the moon as "light [reflected]" (nur); both these interpolations are explained in note 10 on 10:5.
