Saheeh International

The sun and the moon [move] by precise calculation,

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

The sun and the moon (run) on fixed courses.They move in their orbit in perfect succession, according to precise calculation that is never delayed nor disturbed,لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِى لَهَأ أَن تدْرِكَ القَمَرَ وَلَا الَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَIt is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit. (36:40),فَالِقُ الاِصْبَاحِ وَجَعَلَ الَّيْلَ سَكَناً وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْبَاناً ذَلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (He is the) Cleaver of the daybreak. He has appointed the night for resting, and the sun and the moon for calculating. Such is the measuring of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (6:96),Allah said,وَالنَّجْمُ وَالشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ
