The Holy Quran 36:38 — Surah Ya-Sin

Arabic text

وَٱلشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ

Translation

The sun travels towards its destination (within its orbit without straying from its course). This is the (perfect) arrangement of the Mighty, the All Knowing.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
