Say: In this day, the
fertilizing winds of the grace of God have passed over all things. Every creature hath been endowed with all the
potentialities it can carry. And yet the
peoples of the world have denied this grace!
Every tree hath been endowed with the choicest fruits, every ocean
enriched with the most luminous gems.
Man, himself, hath been invested with the gifts of understanding and
knowledge. The whole creation hath been
made the recipient of the revelation of the All-Merciful, and the earth the
repository of things inscrutable to all except God, the Truth, the Knower of
things unseen. The time is approaching
when every created thing will have cast its burden. Glorified be God Who hath vouchsafed this
grace that encompasseth all things, whether seen or unseen! Thus have We created the whole earth anew in
this day, yet most of the people have failed to perceive it. Say:
The grace of God can never be adequately understood; how much less can
His own Self, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting, be comprehended!
