The sun and the moon are made punctual. |

The stars and the trees adore. |
| 055.007 |
And the sky He hath uplifted; and He hath set the measure, |
| 055.008 |

| 055.011 |
Wherein are fruit and sheathed palm-trees, |
| 055.012 |
Husked grain and scented herb. |

| 055.027 |
There remaineth but the Countenance of thy Lord of Might and Glory. |

And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh rosy like red hide - |
| 055.038 |

| 055.039 |
On that day neither man nor jinni will be questioned of his sin. |
