Ya-Sin 36:38

Word by word

وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

وآية لهم الشمس تجري لمستقر لها، قدَّره الله لها لا تتعداه ولا تقصر عنه، ذلك تقدير العزيز الذي لا يغالَب، العليم الذي لا يغيب عن علمه شيء.
