سُوْرَةُ الْعَنْكَبُوْتِ
Surah Al-Ankaboot (29) — Ayah 61
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿61﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And if you were to ask them: "Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they will surely reply: "Allâh." How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?

61-1. That is, these polytheists, who are causing harm to Muslims solely because of monotheism, if they are asked who is the one who brought the heavens and the earth into existence from nothingness and who is the one who causes the sun and the moon to move in their respective orbits, then they have no choice but to admit that all of this is done by Allah.
61-2. That is, despite the evidence and their own admission, denial and avoidance of the truth is astonishing.
