“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 on towards Ourselves with a gradual drawing-in.”

Inspired by Surah 25 – Al-Furqān (The Standard of True and False), verses 45-46 of the Holy Quͻrān
