Transliteration:( Wal qamari izaa talaa haa )
2. When the sun sets, the moon comes out, like on the night of the fourteenth night. Or, after the sun has risen, the moon should rise; and after it sets should rise again; like on the first of the month. This rise and fall of the is telling us about the rise and decline of man and nations. Or, by sun is and meant the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم by moon is meant Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq. because after the Prophets he is the most superior being; like the moon is after the sun. In addition, he is the successor of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم without separation.
In addition, he is the successor of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم without separation and after his demise would be buried next to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم to show the excellence of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq and to prove his Caliphate without separation. Or, by 'sun' means the Holy Prophet, by 'moon' means the pious saints and the scholars of the Ummah of the Holy Prophet who will continue until the Day of Judgement to convey the light which has encompassed the Holy Prophet. 'Or, by sun’ is meant the human soul and by 'grace' is meant his heart on which the light of the soul falls, which helps to inculcate faith, mystical knowledge, etc. in the heart; i.e. I take an oath on the heart of the believer when it is linked with the soul and not following the dictates of the baser self (Nafs e Ammarah) and Shaitaan. The heart is like the ground; sometimes it is controlled by the soul and sometimes the baser self.
