Allah Made the Stars and the Moon
Learn about the beautiful sky Allah created for us.
Allah made the beautiful sky! He put the sun to give us light during the day and the moon and stars to give us light at night. Allah says in the Quran: It is Allah who made for you the night that you may rest in it, and the day giving sight. The sun is like a big lamp that warms the earth. The moon changes shape — sometimes it is big and round, and sometimes it is a tiny crescent. Muslims look for the new moon to know when Ramadan and Eid begin! The stars twinkle in the sky like diamonds. Allah made all of them to help us find our way and to remind us of His power. Every time you look at the stars, remember: Allah made every single one of them, and He knows each star by name!

Translation: And made the moon therein a light and made the sun a burning lamp.
