Question:
He asks about the noble verse in the saying of the Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He:[At-Takwir 81:15-17]
Answer:
This is a continuation of the previous answer. If what occurred after you paid the zakah was profit, and it was profit on the capital for which you paid zakah, then the profit follows the capital, so you must pay zakah on it and give out its zakah. As for the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Takwir 81:15-18] These are great creations and great signs by which Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, swore because of the lessons and admonitions contained in them, and Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, swears by whatever He wills of His creation.
As for the created being, it does not swear except by Allah, Exalted is He. The "jawari al-kunus" are the stars. They are the stars that emerge from their rising point, then travel, then set in their setting point, and so on, always and forever.[At-Takwir 81:17] means it darkened. [At-Takwir 81:18] means it brightened. This is among the signs of Allah, Exalted is He.
[Al-An'am 6:96] Seven dwellings; this is among the signs of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, the alternation of night and day. [Ya-Sin 36:37-40] This is among the cosmic signs of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَAs for the created being, it does not swear except by Allah, Exalted is He.

And by the night as it closes in
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَAnd by the dawn when it breathes
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَthe cleaver of daybreak and has made the night
فَالِقُ الْإِصْبَاحِ وَجَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ(37) And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness. (38) And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. (39) And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk. (40) It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
