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.

stay awake.

stay awake
in the dark
open your eyes
until you see
something 

stay awake
in the light
close your eyes
until you feel
something 

stay awake
in the temporary
open your mouth
until you breathe in
something 

stay awake
in the in between
shut your mouth
until you understand
something 

stay awake
in the beginning
open your heart
until you trust
something 

stay awake
in the end
close your heart
until you heal
something
