Al-An'am 77: When he saw the moon rising, he asked; “Is this my Lord?” But when it faded away, he said; “I swear, if my Lord had not shown guidance to me, I would be among those who have gone astray.”

Surah Al-An'am, verse 77 is where we come to. These verses are short anyway, they are all within the meanings. Within the meanings. When he saw the moon rising, he said: Is this my Lord? But when it set and vanished, he said: I swear, had my Lord not guided me, I would surely have been of the people who fall into (?) — into error. Had my Lord, had my Lord not guided me, I would surely have been of the people who go astray, he had said. In this case, it too — the sun also sets, of course; I mean the moon also sets; the moon was bigger, you see; and night comes, it rises from (?), well. It even grows from a crescent into a full moon.

It sets in the daytime. Can a creature that vanishes by day, a created thing, be the One who never vanishes, who knows of everything at every moment, who creates everything — can it? While Abraham was again in the same feelings, he saw the moon rising. Because it was bigger than the star, he said: Could this be my Lord? Then, seeing it too set, he said: I swear, had my Lord not granted me guidance, I would surely have been of the people who go astray.

Abraham saying this, as we explained in the verse above, is because Allah Almighty sees and hears at every moment and is present everywhere, so that Abraham, even as a child, did not believe in things that set or in what they made with their hands, and did not side with those who associate partners.
