  quote: ''
  summary: The passage contains a translator’s note on paradisal women, all of Sura
    LIV as translated by Rodwell, and the opening of Sura XXXVII. Sura LIV announces
    the approaching Hour and the cleft moon, describes resurrection from graves and
    divine judgment, recalls rejected warnings to Noah’s people, the Adites, Themoud,
    Lot’s people, and Pharaoh’s people, and contrasts punishment of the wicked with
    the pious dwelling among gardens and rivers. The opening of Sura XXXVII invokes
    ranged angels, affirms one God, and depicts stars guarding the lower heaven against
    rebellious Satans who try to overhear the assembly on high.
