"See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
and made the moon a light (noor) in their midst,
and made the sun as a lamp (siraaj)? "
We all know the moon is reflecting light from the Sun.
In arabic, "nur" or "noor" means shiny thing or something that reflects the light , glow .
