| Asad | and then, [after having caused it to lengthen,] We draw it in towards Ourselves with a gradual drawing-in. [I.e., "We cause it to contract in accordance with the `laws of nature' which We Ourselves have instituted." As in so many other instances in the Quran, the abrupt change from the third-person pronoun "He" to "We" is meant to illustrate the fact that God is indefinable, and that it is only the inadequacy of human speech - and, hence, of the human mind - that makes it necessary to refer to the Supreme Being by pronouns which in reality are applicable only to finite, created persons".] |
