In a nutshell, they have become the personification of Satan in their evil, not even an iota of good remains in them, and they know nothing but ignorance. They are similar to beasts in their enmity. They have wasted then the other is like a night-blind she camel. If you will find their rhyming to be balanced like a perfectly proportioned woman, then conversely, you will find that the other is like a person with wobbly legs who cannot walk straight. The Holy Quran is like that beautiful person whose teeth you will always find to be beautifully bright and his cheeks to be rosy red. You will find the beauty of his fingers to be their daintiness, his waist will be slimmer than a belt and his brows will be bright and wide and his teeth will be pearly white. His eye lashes shall be long and alluring, his nose straight and high, his forehead will imprison you in his locks and his eyes shall enslave you with their contrasting white and black. So these are the ten organs whose beauty is found in the Holy Quran without any doubt whatsoever. (Author)
