with truth. We make the Signs clear for people who know. (Surah
Yunus, 5)

the sun and moon subservient, each running for a specified term. He di-
rects the whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you
will be certain about the meeting with your Lord. (Surat ar-Ra'd, 2)

night and made the Sign of the day a time for seeing so that you can
seek favour from your Lord and will know the number of years and
the reckoning of time. We have made all things very clear. (Surat al-
Isra', 12)
