Say, God hath, according to that which is revealed in the
Book, taken upon Himself the task of ensuring the ascendancy of any one of the
followers of the Truth, over and above one hundred other souls, and the
supremacy of one hundred believers over one thousand non-believers and the
domination of one thousand of the faithful over all the peoples and kindreds of
the earth; inasmuch as God calleth into being whatsoever He willeth by virtue
of His behest. Verily He is potent over all things.
