Al Sufian

1	O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Qamar;
2	The Moon;
3	And the tenth name of Allah, the One, the Absolute, the Almighty.
4	The ruler of the night, the great light;
5	The illuminator of ancient paths and the companion to our ancestors;
6	The revealer of that which is lost against the burning glare of daylight;
7	The mysterious companion to the constellations and stars of heaven;
8	Whose arrival and departure is without the precision and certainty of its heavenly brothers and sisters;
9	Thus for its mystery, its dominance of the night and its ability to reveal, the Moon reveals even to the most dull minded, the wisdom and power of Allah.
10	Let it be said: Many generations ago, when people did not have such knowledge, nor the ability to read and write;
11	They believed the Moon to be a god or goddess.
12	Of such power did the Moon be to the hunters by night when land was ice and forests grew across Arabia;
13	That they gave the moon certain names and be it worshipped.
14	Yet we have the knowledge of the ancients to know the Moon as heavenly and not as a god or goddess.
15	The ignorant and foolish Umay-yad who terrorize and threaten do not understand.
16	They see the Moon as a supreme deity, in their madness.
17	The merchants and moneylenders have purchased these nomadic people and have tricked them by saying they too worship the goddess Moon.
18	Verily, the false merchant worships only one deity being money.
19	Honor then the moon and our ancestors but not as your god.
