86 - The Night-Comer
Thou Allah! Thou Gracious! Thou Merciful! Thou Beloved!
- Deep in the midnight of dreams a star of piercing clarity.
- The sweet love-gift of Allah!
- A drop emitted; let man consider the source of his creation.
- The law of causation is an inexorable chain of cause and effect.
- What is the first cause, what is the last effect?
- If the chain were not unbroken, there would be none to consider it.
- If causation did not extend right to Allah, there would be none to know him.
- Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: give respite to them gently.
- They are in the same malestrom of creation, but they do not see the face of the wind.
