"Know thou that, according to what thy Lord... hath decreed..., the favors vouchsafed by Him unto mankind have been, and will ever remain, limitless in their range. First and foremost among these favors... is the gift of understanding. His purpose in conferring such a gift is none other except to enable His creature to know and recognize the one true God... This gift giveth man the power to discern the truth in all things... That which is preeminent above all other gifts, is incorruptible in nature, and pertaineth to God Himself, is the gift of Divine Revelation. Every bounty conferred by the Creator upon man, be it material or spiritual, is subservient unto this. It is, in its essence, and will ever so remain, the Bread which cometh down from Heaven. It is God's supreme testimony, the clearest evidence of His truth.. the proof of His most loving providence." (Bwf 121- 2) .Book name not found Page 121 to 2 . (16:1)
