To witness the setting
Of the stars,
And what is indeed
A mighty adjuration
If ye but knew.
S.56 A.75-76
S.56 A.75-76
Once again a reference to the setting of the stars. I sense a different connotation here, one of humility and God's power. The stars yield to Allah every morning, they are witness to His majesty. This verse also suggests that although they are beautiful and awe inspiring, they are but part of God's universe and are as fleeting as any other aspect of nature. Only God's word is enduring. Finally, this repeats the notion that the setting of the stars is a reminder each day to renew our oaths (adjuration) to God, begging for His grace and forgiveness. I am enjoying these parables and metaphors, they are so rich and beautiful, as is God.
