91: 7. By the Soul and the place in the system given to it; 

      8. And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right; 

      9. Truly he succeeds that causes it to grow 

     10. And he fails that corrupts it! 

Ibn Mas'ud relates that the Holy Prophet drew a rectangle and in the middle of it he drew a line lengthwise the upper end of which protruded beyond the rectangle.  Across this middle line he drew a number of short lines.  He indicated that the figure represented man, that the encircling rectangle was death, the middle line stood for his desires and the short lines across it were the trials and tribulations of life.  He said: "If one of these misses him he falls a victim to one of the others" (Bukhari) Riyadh As-Salihin #580 p. 123
