Ayah: 54

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ يُغۡشِي ٱلَّيۡلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطۡلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثٗا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتِۭ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓۗ أَلَا لَهُ ٱلۡخَلۡقُ وَٱلۡأَمۡرُۗ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

54. Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, and then rose over the Throne16. He covers the night over the day seeking it out in swift pursuit, and (He created) the sun, the moon and the stars, all subservient by His Command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the Command. Blessed is Allāh, the Lord of all beings.

16. ‘Istawa’ literally means rose and ascended in a manner befitting His Majesty, unlike any of His creation.
