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
