Praise be to Allahu ta’ālā - Allahu ta’ālā praises Himself with in these [terms], as explained at the beginning of [the preceding] sūrat Saba' - Originator of the heavens and the earth, the One Who created them without any precedent, Appointer of the angels as messengers (rusul), to [His] prophets, having wings in [sets of] two or three or four. He multiplies in creation, in angels and other [creatures], what He will. Surely Allahu ta’ālā has power over all things.
