SurahOn continuous improvement and knowledge
He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and
the moon a light, and measured for her stages,
that ye might know the number of the years, and
the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save
in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people
who have knowledge. Quran 010.005, Meaning
