44 Say: Naught is seen in My temple but the Temple of God, and in My
beauty but His Beauty, and in My being but His Being, and in My self but
His Self, and in My movement but His Movement, and in My acquiescence but
His Acquiescence, and in My pen but His Pen, the Mighty, the All-Praised.

This, verily, is what hath been ordained in a Tablet which We have
preserved behind the veil of glory and concealed from mortal eyes. Well is
it with them that deprive themselves not of this manifest and unfailing
grace.

47 Say: In this day, the fertilizing winds of the grace of God have passed
