Al-Inshiqaq (The Sundering, Splitting Open)

Verse 18

Translation:

18. And the Moon in her Fullness;

Notes (Tafseer):

6046. (3) The astronomical Full Moon does not last a moment. The moment the moon is full, she begins to decline, and the moment she is in her "inter-lunar swoon", she begins her career anew as a growing New Moon. So is man's life here below. It is not fixed or permanent, either in its physical phases, or even more strikingly, in its finer phases, intellectual, emotional, or spiritual.
