46 Preface قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فاطِرَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ عالِمَ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ أَنتَ تَحكُمُ بَينَ عِبادِكَ في ما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَYusuf AliSay: “O God. Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of all that is hidden and open!1 it is Thou that wilt judge between Thy Servants in those matters about which they have differed.”The mysteries of life and death, of worship and spiritual growth, are matters of high moment, which it may be difficult for us to apprehend in this present life. It is no use arguing about them and plunging in endless controversies. The proper attitude is to appeal to God humbly to accept our purified hearts and Faith, in the firm hope that everything which is now vague to us will be cleared up in the Hereafter, and to pray to Him for His guidance and mercy.
