The Holy Quran 16:12 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ ۖ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٰتٌۢ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

Translation

He placed the night and the day at your service (so that you may use each of them for your benefit), and the sun and the moon as well (each of which benefit mankind to a great extent). The stars are also kept in servitude by His command. Indeed there are Aayaat in this for people of understanding.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Night and day follow one another without fail, so that the business of the world may go on and people may find rest and repose. In the same way, the moon and the sun rise and set under a fixed order.
