You have not created all this without purpose. Glory to You! Save us, then, from (being negligent in attaining knowledge and thus from) the doom of the fire.' [When humans harness the forces in Nature and use them for the common good of all, they move away from Hell, rightfully hoping to achieve paradise in both lives. 13:17, 45:13-14] (Shabbir Ahmed)
