16 Preface وَما خَلَقنَا السَّماءَ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما لاعِبينَYusuf AliNot for (idle) sport did We1 create the heavens and the earth and all that is between!The Hindu doctrine of Lila, that alt things were created for sport, is here negatived. But more: with God we must not associate any ideas but those of Truth. Righteousness, Mercy, Justice, and the other attributes implied in His Beautiful Names. He does not jest nor play with His creatures (Cf. 51:56).
