Toward my Creator

Topic: Ultimate Reality, God, Heavenly Parent

So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might have certitude. When the night covered him over, he saw a star; he said, “This is my Lord.” But when it set, he said, “I love not those that set.” When he saw the moon rising in splendor, he said, “This is my Lord,” but when the moon set, he said, “Unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray.” When he saw the sun rising in splendor, he said, “This is my Lord; this is the greatest of all,” but when the sun set, he said, “O my people! I am indeed free from your [error] of ascribing partners to God. For me, I have set my face firmly and truly towards Him who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I ascribe partners to God.”
