Ar-Razzaq
The
Sustainer
It
is God who has made the earth a resting-place for you and the
sky a canopy, and has formed you -- and formed you so well --
and provided for you sustenance out of the good things of life.
Such is God, your Sustainer: hallowed, then, is God, the
Sustainer of all the worlds!
Ghafir
40:64, tr. Asad
Look
at every animal from the gnat to the elephant:
they all are God's family and dependent on Him for their
nourishment. What a nourisher is God!
All these griefs within our hearts arise from the smoke and dust
of our existence and vain desires.
Mathnawi
I:2295-2296, tr. Helminski |
