وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا وَظِلَـٰلُهُم بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْـَٔاصَالِ ۩

And to Allāh prostrates whoever is within the heavens and the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows [as well] in the mornings and the afternoons.

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ ٱلظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهُۥ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا

Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.1

وَلَا ٱلظِّلُّ وَلَا ٱلْحَرُورُ

Nor are the shade and the heat,1

هُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُهُمْ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ مُتَّكِـُٔونَ

They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches.

وَظِلٍّ مَّمْدُودٍ

And shade extended.

فِى سَمُومٍ وَحَمِيمٍ

[They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water

وَظِلٍّ مِّن يَحْمُومٍ

And a shade of black smoke,

لَّا بَارِدٍ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool nor beneficial.

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِى ثَلَـٰثِ شُعَبٍ

Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns.

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

[But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ

So I swear by the twilight glow
