Al-Qabid
The Constrictor
Art thou not aware of thy Sustainer through His works? --how He causes
the shadow to lengthen towards the night when, had He so willed, He
could indeed have made it stand still: but then, We have made the sun
its guide; and then, after having caused it to lengthen, We draw it
in towards Ourselves with
a gradual drawing-in.
Al-Furqan 25:45, tr. Asad
