“When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves, / Almost bursting for fury. Whenever a group is cast into it, its keeper shall ask them: Did there not come to you a warner? / They shall say: Yea! indeed there came to us a warner, but we rejected (him) and said: Allah has not revealed anything, you are only in a great error.”
quran

“Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin .. it's the triumphant twang of a bedspring”
