59الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ ۚ الرَّحمٰنُ فَاسأَل بِهِ خَبيرًاMuhammad AsadHe who has created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six aeons, and is established on the throne of His almightiness:1 the Most Gracious! Ask, then, about Him, [the] One who is [truly] aware.2See note 43 on the first sentence of 7:54.I.e., "ask God Himself": since He alone holds the keys to the mysteries of the universe, it is only by observing His creation and listening to His revealed messages that man can obtain a glimpse, however distant, of God's Own reality.
