Nature: "The wonders of His boundless grace... have pervaded the whole of creation. Such is their virtue that not a single atom in the entire universe can be found which doth not declare the evidence of His might... So perfect and comprehensive is His creation that no mind nor heart, however keen, or pure, can ever grasp the nature of the most insignificant of His creatures." His "image is reflected in the mirror of... creation." (Bwf 29; Gl 166) (31:7) "Consider the relation between the craftsman and his handiwork, between the painter and his painting. Can it ever be maintained that the work their hands have produced is the same as themselves?... They can be regarded in no other light except as evidences that proclaim the excellence and perfections of their author." "However perfect the picture may be, in comparison with the painter it is in the utmost degree of imperfection." (Gl 337; Saq 5)
(31:8)
