He causes the night to enter the day, and He causes the day to enter the night and has subjected the sun and the moon - each running [its course] for a specified term. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs sovereignty. And those whom you invoke other than Him do not possess [as much as] the membrane of a date seed.

He God makes the night pass enter into the day so that it becomes longer and He makes the day pass into the night so that it becomes longer and He has disposed the sun and the moon each of them moving in its course to an appointed term — to the Day of Resurrection. That is God your Lord; to Him belongs all sovereignty. As for those on whom you call whom you worship besides Him in other words other than Him — and they are the idols — they do not possess even so much as the husk of a date-stone.
