And thus have We bestowed from on high this divine writ
as a discourse in the Arabic tongue,
and have given therein many facets to all manner of warnings,
so that men might remain conscious of Us,
or that it give rise to a new awareness in them.
Know, then that God is sublimely exalted,
the Ultimate Sovereign, the Ultimate Truth:
and knowing this, do not approach the Qur’an in haste,
ere it has been revealed unto thee in full, but always say:
“O my Sustainer, cause me to grow in knowledge!”
Ta Ha 20:113-114, tr. Asad
