MUHAMMAD asked:
The Gracious God.
He taught the Qur’an.
He created man,
And taught him plain speech.
The sun and the moon run their courses according to a fixed reckoning.
And the stemless plants and the trees humbly submit to His Will.
And the heaven He has raised high and set up the measure,
That you may not exceed the measure.
So weigh all things with justice and fall not short of the measure.
And He has set the earth for His creatures;
Therein are all kinds of fruit and palm-tree with sheaths,
And grain with its husk and fragrant plants.
Which, then, of the favours of your Lord will ye twain, O men and jinn, deny?
