Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Ibrahim 14:33

Word by word

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ دَآئِبَيْنِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ

And He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

( وسخر لكم الشمس والقمر دائبين ) أي : يسيران لا يقران ليلا ولا نهارا ، ( لا الشمس ينبغي لها أن تدرك القمر ولا الليل سابق النهار وكل في فلك يسبحون ) [ يس : 40 ] ( يغشي الليل النهار يطلبه حثيثا والشمس والقمر والنجوم مسخرات بأمره ألا له الخلق والأمر تبارك الله رب العالمين ) [ الأعراف : 54 ] فالشمس والقمر يتعاقبان ، والليل والنهار عارضان فتارة يأخذ هذا من هذا فيطول ، ثم يأخذ الآخر من هذا فيقصر ، ( يولج الليل في النهار ويولج النهار في الليل وسخر الشمس والقمر كل يجري إلى أجل مسمى وأن الله بما تعملون خبير ) [ لقمان : 29 ] وقال تعالى : ( يكور الليل على النهار ويكور النهار على الليل وسخر الشمس والقمر كل يجري لأجل مسمى ) [ الزمر : 5 ] .
