Quran /14- ABRAHAM IBRAHIM Meccan /   Verse 33         33- He reduced for you the sun* and the moon** to a state of subserviency, constantly describing their paths and the night and the day were not made to rule but to subserve you where wisdom bears command *see v.2 c.13 and commentary ** commentary: Probably among the many events which succeeded one another to render the unique planet earth suitable for life was the stability of the surface of the moon.Astronomer Nigel HenBest says "for its first 700 million years the moon was pounded by planetesimals (celestial bodies). Its surface rocks were strewn out in welded fragments. The second chapter began as the rain of the planetesimals petered out (stopped); also lasted 700 million years. It is interesting to note that since the end of that time 32 million years ago. The moon's surface has hardly changed. Even the huge impacts whose effects penetrated deep into the moon's interior and caused partial melting of the rocks beneath have changed. The molten rocks completely filled the vast circular basins created by the impacts, thus the great lunar so called seas were created.
