8 Preface في أَيِّ صورَةٍ ما شاءَ رَكَّبَكَYusuf AliIn whatever Form1 He wills, does He put thee together.(Cf. 7:11). By “Form” (Sūrat) here I understand the general shape of things in which any given personality is placed, including his physical and social environments, his gifts of mind and spirit, and all that goes to make up his outer and inner life. The Grace of God is shown in all these things, for His Will is formed from perfect knowledge, wisdom, and goodness.
