QUOTATION:And as for the unbelievers,
their works are as a mirage in a spacious plain
which the man athirst supposes to be water,
till, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing;
there indeed he finds God,
and He pays him his account in full; (and God is swift
at the reckoning).
ATTRIBUTION:Qur’An. Light, 24:39, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955).
