Say: They are markers [of time] for the people," by which they know the time of their religious obligations, the waiting period of their women, and the time for their pilgrimage.

He says: Allah made them markers [of time] for the fasting of the Muslims and their breaking of the fast, the waiting period of their women, and the timing of their religious affairs. It was reported from ‘Ata’, al-Dahhak, Qatadah, al-Suddi, and al-Rabi‘ ibn Anas similarly to that.

قَوْلُهُ: وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
وَبِهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ يَعْنِي تَعْلَمُونَ أنكم تدعون الباطل.
