Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Signs in the Subjection of Night and Day, the Sun and the Moon, and in that which grows on EarthAllah mentions the mighty signs and immense blessings to be found in His subjection of night and day, which follow one another; the sun and moon, which revolve; the stars, both fixed and moving through the skies, offering light by which people may find their way in the darkness.
