Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallLo! those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without a warrant having come unto them, there is naught else in their breasts save pride which they will never attain. So take thou refuge in Allah. Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.
Mohammed Marmaduke William PickthallAssuredly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind; but most of mankind know not.
