180 Preface سُبحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ العِزَّةِ عَمّا يَصِفونَYusuf AliGlory to thy Lord,1 the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)! This and the following two verses recapitulate: (1) Glory, Honour, and Power belong to God; (2) No one is equal to Him; (3) He sends Messengers and revelations, and His aid will overcome all obstacles; for (4) He loves and cherishes all His Creation.
