75 Preface ۞ فَلا أُقسِمُ بِمَواقِعِ النُّجومِYusuf AliFurthermore I call to witness the setting1 of the Stars,-The setting of the Stars: a number of mystic meanings are attached. Here are three. (1) Cf. 43:1 and n. 5085; the setting of a glorious star is a symbol of humility before the power, beauty, and goodness of God. (2) It may refer to the extinction of the stars at the Day of Judgment, betokening the establishment of God’s Justice and the Truth of His Revelation. (3) What is bright or beautiful to our senses may disappear from our ken within a few hours, even though its own existence may continue. All light is relative except the Light of God.
