<strong>The</strong> Quran 17: 106<br />

warning – 106 it is a recitation that We have revealed in parts, so that<br />

you can recite it to people at intervals; We have sent it down little by<br />

little. 107 Say, ‘Whether you believe it or not, those who were given<br />

knowledge earlier fall down on their faces when it is recited to them,<br />

108 and say, “Glory to our Lord! Our Lord’s promise has been fulfilled.”<br />

109 <strong>The</strong>y fall down on their faces, weeping, and [the Quran]<br />

increases their humility.’ 110 Say [to them], ‘Call on God, or on the<br />

Lord of Mercy – whatever names you call Him, the best names<br />

belong to Him.’ [Prophet], do not be too loud in your prayer, or too<br />

quiet, but seek a middle way 111 and say, ‘Praise belongs to God, who<br />

has no child nor partner in His rule. He is not so weak as to need a<br />

protector. Proclaim His limitless greatness!’
