1 | O you who believe! Let it be said: Al-Kabir; |
2 | The Great; |
3 | And the seventh name of Allah, the Infinite, the Unique, the All Knowing. |
4 | To the mountains covered in snow, to the deepest valleys; |
5 | To the widest rivers and highest cliffs; |
6 | To the largest of all creatures; |
7 | All that is Great is so at the design and hand of Allah, the Almighty. |
8 | Even unto the Sun, the Moon, all the celestial bodies, the greatness of Allah extends beyond what we can see; |
9 | To the vastness, unseen greatness of existence itself. |
10 | Yet like the elephant, the great and powerful depend on the small and agile; |
11 | If not for small birds that catch the insects from around the elephant, it would be taken by the flies. |
12 | If not for the bee and the water, the great grass fields of Asia would be dust. |
13 | Thus the great depends on the small. |
