M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Who is it that made the earth a stable place to live? Who made rivers flow through it? Who set immovable mountains on it and created a barrier between the fresh and salt water? Is it another god beside God? No! But most of them do not know.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

there is nothing hidden in the heavens or on earth that is not in a clear Record.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

You cannot make the dead hear, you cannot make the deaf listen to your call when they turn their backs and leave,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

you cannot guide the blind out of their error: you cannot make anyone hear you except those who believe in Our signs and submit [to Us].

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
