وَجَعَلَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجٗا
placed the moon as a light in them and the sun as a lamp,
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ نَبَاتٗا
how God made you spring forth from the earth like a plant,

and how He has spread the Earth out for you
لِّتَسۡلُكُواْ مِنۡهَا سُبُلٗا فِجَاجٗا
to walk along its spacious paths?” ’
قَالَ نُوحٞ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمۡ عَصَوۡنِي وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَن لَّمۡ يَزِدۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارٗا

saying, “Do not renounce your gods!
