jealous <strong>of</strong> His pious people as Allah has granted <strong>the</strong>m with a scripture,<br />

wisdom and a mighty Kingdom.<br />

2. 038.035 He said: My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me sovereignty<br />

such as shall not belong to any after me. Lo! Thou art <strong>the</strong> Bestower.<br />

038.036 So We made <strong>the</strong> wind subservient unto him, setting fair by his<br />

command whi<strong>the</strong>rsoever he intended.<br />

038.037 And <strong>the</strong> unruly, every builder and diver (made We<br />
