wa-sakhkhara lakumu l-layla wa-n-nahāra wa-sh-shamsa wa-l-qamara wa-n-nujūmu musakhkharātun bi-ʾamrihī ʾinna fī dhālika la-ʾāyātin li-qawmin yaʿqilūna
He disposed the night and the day for you, and the sun, the moon and the stars are disposed by His command. There are indeed signs in that for people who exercise their reason.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah An-Nahl – Verse 12
12. “And He (has) made the night and the day, and the sun and the moon subservient for you, and the stars have been made subservient by His command. Verily there are signs in this for a people who understand.”
The objective of the conquest of the sun and the moon is man’s manipulation of them for his own advantage. Otherwise, man who is not able to create even a fly, how would he be able to conquer the sun. By His grace, Allah, the Almighty, has made them subservient for man. At any rate, alluding to the blessings offered to man by Allah in man’s conquest of the various beings in the world, the Qur’an remarks:
“And He (has) made the night and the day, and the sun and the moon subservient for you, and the stars have been made subservient by His command…”
Most certainly, there are signs and clues of the grandeur of Allah (s.w.t.) and the magnificence of creation for those who contemplate. The verse continues saying:
“…Verily there are signs in this for a people who understand.”
In the meantime, the hierarchical order of the system of existence is solely attracting the attention and are the object of development of those individuals who are thinking as well as reasoning, and not for those with naively-thinking, and those who are simple-minded.
