trivia at the sky.

I swear by the sun and its brilliant glorious light
and I swear by the moon as it follows the sun

and I swear by the morning time that makes the sun appear at its full glory
and I swear by the night when it covers up the blazing light of the sun

and I swear by the skies, and what an incredible construction it is
and the earth and how incredibly its been leveled out

(91 : 1-6) 

this analogy that Allah is giving, these images that Allah is describing; first, He describes the sun, then He describes the moon, then He describes the day and night; the sky and the earth. all these images, culminates; conclusion of all of these images is for you and me to understand one thing: not the universe outside of us, but the universe inside of us.

and I swear by the nafs, a person, is a remarkable creation
and what an incredible balance he/she is created with

(91 : 7) 

see how the conflict happens in the skies- sun in conflict with the moon, the day in conflict with the night- which is a parallel to the human, a person. the beginning ayahs are making us reflect on the universe, and the fruits of reflecting on them will make us understand ourselves. 

we are in constant struggles- inside. and the question is; how will we achieve those balance in ourselves? or how will we see this-- even through all these perceived conflicting stages above us in the skies- yet they are a means of benefit for us, they are there to bring harmony for us- the human race (imagine this harmony disappeared and the routine of the sun, moon, day  and night rebelled. who would suffer the most? the humans on earth, us, of course..)-- in a perspective of the conflict we experience inside of us.
