{43:1} The firmament on high is his beauty; it is the beauty of heaven in a vision of glory.
{43:2} The sun, at its appearance, announces its journey; it is an instrument of wonder, a work of the Most High.
{43:3} At midday, it scorches the earth. And in the presence of its heat, who would be able to endure? It is like the custodian of a furnace in its works of heat.
{43:4} In three ways, the sun acts: scorching the mountains, emitting fiery rays, and shining with its beams that can blind the eyes.
{43:5} Great is the Lord who made it, and at his word, it hurries on its journey.
