“We also send the fertilizing winds, and We send down water from heaven, and give you to drink thereof; and ye are not the storers of it.
“And verily We give life and death, and We are the heirs of all the creation.
“We also know those who have gone before you, and We know those who follow after [you].
“And verily thy Lord will assemble them together: for He is Wise, Knowing.”
Sūratu ʾl-Anʿām. [Chapter vi. 59–64].
(Given at Makkah.)
“With Him are the keys of the hidden things: none knoweth them but He: and He knoweth whatsoever is on the land and in the sea, and there falleth not a leaf but He knoweth it, nor a grain in the dark parts of the earth, nor a moist thing nor a dry thing, but [it is noted] in a distinct writing.
“And it is He who taketh your souls at night, and knoweth what ye have gained in the day; then He reviveth you therein, that an appointed time may be fulfilled. Then unto Him shall ye return: then will He declare unto you what ye have done.
“And He is the Supreme over His servants, and He sendeth watchers over you, until when death cometh unto any one of you, Our messengers take his soul, and they fail not.
“Then are they returned unto God their Lord, the True. Doth not judgment belong to Him? And He is the most quick of reckoners.
