The Diws, in the space of half a day, completed the task, and the sea became dry land; and, the name by which it was called was Nim-roz, signifying mid-day, and that designation continued to be applied to that country. God alone is eternal, and His kingdom only is eternal, without intermission and without wane. - [Previous: 95.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.95.7) - [Next: 96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.96) - [Up: 95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.95) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.95.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.95.8) · Pramāṇa
