Abraham
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[14:33]
and has made the sun and the moon, both of them constant upon their courses, subservient [to His laws, so that they be of use] to you; and has made the night and the day subservient [to His laws, so that they be of use] to you.

* v.33 : Almost all classical commentators agree that God’s having made the natural phenomena “subservient” to man is a metaphor (majāz) for His having enabled man to derive lasting benefit from them: hence my explanatory interpolations. In the same sense, the night and the day are spoken of in 10:67, 27:86, or 40:61 as having been “made for you” (resp. “for them”).
