Q:

Are there surahs in the quran which state that the moon is lit by reflected sunlight?

When I look up at the moon at night, it looks like a source of its own light just like the sun. surah 71:16 expresses this observation as:

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

The [reflected] has been added and isn't part of the surah, so I'm looking for a surah that contains the word reflected or something similar to it.

A:

The Quran does not explicitly say that the moon is lit by reflected sunlight. Also see related answer.
