In every corner of this universe, the traces of divine power emerge, and beauty and grandeur that are miraculous, which God has created, manifest and appear. We share together the magnificence of this ongoing "Journey of Creation," which is continuous and not everlasting! For every term there is a record! And to an appointed time! He forgives you your sins and delays you to an appointed term; indeed, when God's appointed time comes, it will not delay, if you but knew... And we share in it the sweetness and bitterness of life, its joys, and sorrows, and we exchange love and hope, and sometimes "with all sorrow," we exchange enmity and hatred! And few learn from the experiences of life, then we return willingly or unwillingly to our Creator!
O humankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, (6)
Who created you and fashioned you (7)
And assembled you in [your] mother's womb, As He willed? (8)
O you who worship the "Creator" (Allah) with different names, and you worship Him with various and diverse practices. And O who believes you created for a purpose, then you will meet your appointed time, and then you will return to your Creator! Know that what is true remains eternal and absolute, and the One who created you is the Truth, and the One who shaped you is the Truth:
The One who created me and guides me...
And the One who provides for me and gives me drink...
And when I am ill, He heals me...
And the One who causes me to die, then gives me life...
