(Al-Maʿārij: 4),
“He directs every affair from heaven to earth; then it ascends back to Him” (Al-Sajdah: 5),
“They fear their Lord, who is above them” (An-Naḥl: 50),
“then He rose over the Throne” (Yūnus: 3)—a wording that occurs in six different passages—
“The All-Merciful rose over the Throne” (Ṭā Hā: 5),
“O Hāmān, build me a tower that I might reach the pathways—the pathways of the heavens—and look upon the god of Moses, though I am sure he is a liar” (Ghāfir: 36–37),
“A revelation from One who is All-Wise, Praiseworthy” (Fuṣṣilat: 42),
“sent down from your Lord” (Al-Anʿām: 114),
and the like—texts so numerous that they can scarcely be counted without great effort.
