9 Preface وَجُمِعَ الشَّمسُ وَالقَمَرُYusuf AliAnd the sun and moon are joined together,-1To the moon the sun is the original light, but the sun itself is a created light, and it will sink into nothingness along with the moon. Both will be like empty shells “whose lights are fled, whose glories dead”, because the Prototype of all Light now shines in full splendour in a new World. See n. 4344 to 39:69.
