Al-Khaliq
The
Creator
God
is He who has created seven heavens,
and, like them, the many aspects of the earth. Through all of
them flows down from on high, unceasingly, His creative will, so
that you might come to know that God has the power to will
anything, and that God encompasses all things with His
knowledge.
At-Talaq 65:12-13, tr. Asad
The
sky, so beautiful and glorious:
God said, "then turn thy gaze again towards it."
As regards this roof of light,
don't be content with just one look:
look many times; see:
Are there any flaws?
Since He has told you to look often at this excellent
roof, examining it for flaws, know then, how much
discernment the dark earth needs.
Rumi, Mathnawi II:2946-2949, tr. Helminski
