هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ۝ هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ...

"He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is, of all things, Knowing. He created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself upon the Throne…"

وہ اول ہے اور آخر ہے، ظاہر ہے اور باطن ہے، اور وہ ہر چیز کو جاننے والا ہے۔ اس نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو چھ دنوں میں پیدا کیا پھر عرش پر قائم ہوا…

Explanation

The universe, in its silent language, sings the praises of and describes the attributes of its Creator. In the Quran, those same attributes have been put into words. When a thing comes into being here, it has manifestly been brought into existence by the Supreme Being. Its end itself announces its termination by the Supreme Being. The fact is the universe is the vehicle of God’s praises, while the Quran is their verbal recitation.
