The moon

القمر

The moon a light set in stations so you may know the count of years and reckoning; it was split in the Prophet ﷺ's day as a sign for the people; and it wanes through phases until it returns like an old palm-stalk.

The clouds

The serviceable clouds between heaven and earth, piled masses through which lightning breaks and from which drops of hail descend; and the cloud that shaded Israel in the wilderness over the manna and the quails.
