Epigraph:
What is the matter with you that you expect not wisdom and staidness from Allah? And He has created you in different forms and different conditions. Have you not seen how Allah has created seven heavens in perfect harmony, and has placed the moon therein as a light, and made the sun as a lamp? And Allah has caused you to grow as a good growth from the earth. (Al Quran 71:14-18)
