Surah 45
Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It carries the AALAMIN Editor signature and the date it was signed, because someone has to answer for it.
Thirty-seven verses ending with every nation kneeling, called to its own record, and told that this book of Ours speaks about you in truth — because We were having transcribed what you were doing. Before that: the man who takes his desire as his god, and the claim that nothing destroys us but time. It opens with disconnected letters.
