    “For the sin he had committed, Kharis was condemned to be buried alive, but first they cut out his tongue, so the ears of the gods would not be assailed by his unholy curses.”

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle
    and the mountains as pegs?
    And We created you in pairs,
    and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
    and We appointed night for a garment,
    and We appointed day for a livelihood.
    And We have built above you seven strong ones,
    and We appointed a blazing lamp
    and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
    that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
    and gardens luxuriant.”
    —Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
