Such is the sanctity of His station that from reverence none but He may approach near to it.

Such is His empire that necessarily and inevitably it can neither decrease nor increase.

Such is His strength that, did He wish so. He could in a single instant turn the earth and the nine heavens into wax.

So vast is His realm that if the world ceased to exist its expanse would not be a single hair's breadth less.

Such is His infinity that the eye of reason and comprehension falls to the ground incapable of traversing the distance.

Such is the term He has set for all that when its time comes the world itself will be ensnared by a single hair.
