Transliteration:( Wa ja'alal qamara feehinna nooranw wa ja'alash shamsa siraajaa )
24. The moon is in the first heaven. Its half part is illuminated and the other half is dark. Nonetheless all the heavens receive its light because all of them are transparent. Therefore, the pronoun "in them" is correctly used because the light of the moon is found in all the heavens.
25. It is full of light and has the ability to illuminate others. The moon and the stars are illuminated by it. For this reason the moon has been called light and the sun as the lamp, i.e. the provider of the light.
