(And if thou wert to ask them) i.e. the disbelievers of Mecca: (Who created the heavens and the earth, and constrained) and made subservient (the sun and the moon? they would say) the disbelievers of Mecca would say: (Allah) created and made them subservient. (How then are they turned away?) How then do they lie against Allah?
- 29:6161
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
If you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth, and who set the sun and the moon to work?" They will answer: "God." Why then do they vacillate?
