“The unacknowledged of God and His systems are lost—searching endlessly among the stars for the substance and structure of matter; but the believer finds the universe within, for when divine wisdom and human inquiry stand side by side, the veil is lifted.”
— Paraphrased from Allama Iqbal
“If all the trees on earth were pens, and the seas—seven more added to them—were ink, still the words of your Lord would not be exhausted.”
(Surah Luqman 31:27)
