Al-Awwal The
First
And
thy Sustainer knows all that their hearts conceal as well as all
that they bring into the open:
for He is God, save whom there is no deity. Unto Him all praise
is due, at the beginning and at the end of time; and with Him
rests all judgment; and unto Him shall you all be brought back. Al-Qasas
28:69-70, tr. Asad
