Prophet Jonah - 10:5          
          
                        He made the sun a source of light and the moon a light. He has given it phases so that you may know the number of years and reckoning. Allah has created these only for a truth. This is how He explains the verses to a people who know.          
        
        
          What are the phases of the moon?        
      
                  
                    
                      Yaseen/36:39                    
                  
                  
                                        And We appointed for the moon various stages until it turns into a dry palm branch.                  
                
                
              
                  
                    
                      Prophet Jonah/10:5                    
                  
                  
                                        He made the sun a source of light and the moon a light. He has given it phases so that you may know the number of years and reckoning. Allah has created these only for a truth. This is how He explains the verses to a people who know.                  
                
                
              
                  
                    
                      The Cow/2:189                    
                  
                  
                                        They ask you about the phases of the moon. Say that it is a measure of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage. Goodness is not beating around the bush, goodness is abstinence. Be honest. Listen to Allah for your salvation.
