32By the moon,
Explanatory translation
32No! The disbelievers’ claim is in vain, and they never take heed. By the moon, which recalls the rising of the light of prophethood and is one of the verses of the book of the universe: Allah has sent revelation like the moon that shows the way in pitch darkness. The moon, like a light that is born, grows, and in the end fades away like a human being, reminds a person of his own lifespan. The first crescent represents childhood, the full moon maturity, and the last crescent old age.
