The Moon as Reflected Light in Quran

đź“–Quran 10:5
It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a reflected light and determined for it phases – that you may know the number of years and account [of time]. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know.

  • The Qur’an describes the sun as a source of light and heat and the moon as a reflection of light. The Qur’an also mentions that the moon has phases, which is scientifically accurate
