Quote by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

“There is a fundamental difference between the Jewish idea of creation and that of Islam. The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought.

Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will.”
