                          And the moon we have measured for her Mansions (to 
                          traverse) Till she returns like the old (and withered) 
                          lower part of a date  stalk. It is not permitted 
                          to the sun to catch up the moon, nor can the night outstrip 
                          the Fay: Each (just) swims along in (its own orbit) 
                          (According to Law) [36:38-40]. What does Ali runs 
                          And Mohammed moves and Ali cannot reach Mohammed runs 
                          but Ali does not reach Mohammed. Here Allah the Excelled 
                          in might says And the sun runs his course for 
                          a period determined for him Then He says  
                          It is not permitted to the sun to catch-up the moon 
                          This means that the moon is meant to be before the sun 
                          where as the sun runs and can not catch up it. Because 
                          the speed of the moon is 18 kilometers & that of 
                          the earth is 15 kilometers while that of the sun is 
                          12 kilometers. Whatsoever the sun runs it will not catch 
                          up the moon. But what makes the moon also to retain 
                          its mansions while it can leave them? The astronomers 
                          found that the moon runs in a zigzag swing and not in 
                          a straightforward line. The moon runs in this manner 
                          to retain its mansions and locations. In this manner 
                          Allah organized and systemized the orbiting &more 
                          movements of all of them so that they retain their orbiting 
                          traces & do not depart them. Therefore, we have 
                          the regular succession of Night & Daytime, seasons 
                          etc
. Dont you think it is an excellent determination? 
                          Is it possible that it has come only by chance? No, 
                          it has not come by chance because chance cannot create 
                          such excellent & systematic norms of the universe. 
                          Allah has created all this & creates this systemic 
                          cosmic norms. Source: The Age of Faith has dawned
