He makes the night pass into the day and He makes the day pass into the night (and so makes each grow longer or shorter); and He has made the sun and the moon subservient to His command, each running its course for a term appointed.

Whereas those whom you deify and invoke, apart from Him, own not so much as the pellicle of a date-stone.
