God—The Sublime, the Tremendous
~ 141 ~
GOD—THE SUBLIME, THE
TREMENDOUS
Allah—there is no God save Him, the Ever-living,
the Eternal. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes
Him. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and
on the earth. Who can intercede with Him save by
His leave? He knows what lies before humans and
what is after them, and they encompass nothing of
His knowledge save what He wills. His throne
comprises both the heavens and the earth, and He is
never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime
the Tremendous (2:255).
