Al-Mani
The Preventer of Harm


He alone knows that which is beyond the reach
of a created being's perception, and to none does
He disclose aught of the mysteries of His Own unfathomable knowledge, unless it be to an apostle whom He has been pleased to elect there for: and then He sends forth the forces of heaven to watch over him in whatever lies open before him and in what is beyond his ken -- so as to make manifest that it is indeed but their Sustainer's messages that these apostles deliver: for it is He who encompasses with His knowledge all that they have to say, just as He takes count, one by one, of everything that exists.
