O Rasool! [ messenger ] tell them that your Rabb is the One who has created the universe in six aeons and kept His control over it (10/3). In accordance with His laws, the planets revolve in such a way that day and night succeed each other in quick succession. The sun, moon and other stars also obey His orders. Take note! The domains of Khalq and Amr both belong to Allah, Who is the source of all blessings and Rabb of all the worlds. - verse 54

Surrah YâSîn - YA-SEEN - No.36 - Verse: 40

All these huge heavenly bodies are not static in space, but are in continuous motion. However, all their movements are according to a discipline based on set measures and calculations. It can never happen that the sun, by speeding up, can overtake the moon; or that the night lingers on beyond the point where the day had to start (meaning that the sun rises little after the appointed time). No, this never happens. Each and every one of them keeps moving through space, in its own orbit, according to the speed and course set for it (21:33). - Verse: 40

Surrah Ar-Rahmân - THE BENEFICENT - No.55 - Verse: 5

And for human guidance there are unchangeable laws in the Quran; just as there are laws in force in outer universe according to which (for example) the sun and the moon follow their determined orbits - Verse: 5

Surrah Al-Isrâ' - CHILDREN OF ISRAEL - No.17 - Verse: 12

Allah Almighty has made the night and the day as two signs - the sign of night is that it is devoid of light and the sign of day is that it is full of light - so that you may secure Allah’s bounties. The alternation of night and day is necessary so that you may reckon the years and keep account - Allah Almighty has made everything distinctly clear (6/97, 10/5) - Verse: 12

Surrah Ash-Shams - THE SUN - No.91 - Verse: 1-2

Consider the sun and its radiant brilliance - Verse: 1

The moon and its pursuit of the sun to receive its light - Verse: 2

Surrah Al-An'âm - THE CATTLE - No.6 - Verse: 97

He causes the dawn to burst forth to enter in the day and has devised the night for rest and the sun and moon for computing time. These are the measures ordained by Allah Almighty who is Mighty and Knowing.
-- Verse: 97

Surrah Maryam - MARY - No.19 - Verse: 65-67

(O Rasool!) The Law of Mukafat is of your Rabb, Who is the sustainer of everything in the universe. (He alone deserves to be obeyed) So you also should obey Him and remain steadfast in this obedience. Is anyone besides him worthy of this stature? (No certainly not !)
Verse: 65

But does he not remember that We had previously created him when he was nothing. (The God Who can create a human being out of nothingness, can also bring him back to life after death.)
Verse: 67

Surrah Al-Anbiyâ - THE PROPHETS - No.21 - Verse:30

(Out of their sheer ignorance some people take natural phenomena as deities or divinities. This is despite the fact the entire continuum of the universe has been created by Allah Almighty and remains fervently in action according to His given programme. At present various phenomena in the universe appear to them as functioning separately from one another, but) Do they not seriously understand that in the initial stages of creation all of them were one mass which We then parted, so that the various celestial bodies started floating in their own orbits (21:33; 36:40). (Take for example the planet earth. In its initial stages it separated from the original mass, just like a stone thrown out from a catapult ~ 79:30.) Later (when the earth became ready to bear or produce living things) We started life from water. (All living things are created from a mixture of water ~ 24:45. And over this fountain of life Allah Almighty has kept His own control ~ 11:7.)

It is strange that even after all this explanation, they do not believe that only Allah Almighty wields absolute sovereignty over everything in the universe - Verse:30

Surrah Az-Zâriyât -THE WINNOWING WINDS -No.51 -Verse:47

(This is Our Law of cause & effect, under which earlier communities came to such an end. Everything in this universe is busy making the Divine Law effective. That is why) With Our power and strength We have built the universe that is spread out in the cosmos. The expanse of Our power has no boundaries. Verse:47

Surrah At-Talâq - DIVORCE - No.65 - Verse:3

You may face some financial difficulties in doing so. However the Divine System will alleviate these in a way that you may not expect! Remember, the system satisfactorily provides for whoever trusts it and ultimately leaves nothing undecided. This is so because Allah Almighty has devised measures (rules and regulations) for everything (and matters that are decided according to rules and regulations have neither uncertainty nor difficulty).

(It is important for the court deciding on divorce cases to keep in view all these points and their implications; and to make suitable provisions for the difficulties and complications.) Verse:3

Surrah Al-Furqân -THE STANDARD - No.25 - Verse:2

This Book has been revealed by the One in Whose domain everything lies. His Law is in force everywhere in the universe. He needs neither any offspring for help, nor can any one become a partner in His authority. He has created everything in a particular proportion and has determined the measures for its capabilities and potentialities. (These measures are called the 'taqdeer' of these things; and ‘taqdeer’ is the ultimate stage of everything.) Verse:2
