Surah 25:45
"Have you not regarded your Lord, how He has stretched out the shadow? If He had (so) pleased, He would indeed have made it stand still. Then We made the sun a guide for it,"
25.45 – Have you not regarded your Lord, how He has stretched out the shadow?
This question introduces a remarkable passage in which the blessings of creation are beautifully described (vv. 45–62). The appropriate response of humankind is to glorify the Merciful (v. 58, cf. 50).
