and the moon, following it, [91:2]
and the day, revealing it, [91:3]
and the night, concealing it; [91:4]

and the earth and its extension; [91:6]
by the self and its balance, [91:7]
and its inspiration with its depravity and its conscience: [91:8]

But they called him a liar and hamstrung it. So their Lord destroyed them for their crime, leveling the place, [91:14]
without fearing the consequence. [91:15]
