Know that you can never elude God, and that, verily, God shall bring disgrace upon all who refuse to acknowledge the truth.
At-Tawbah 9:2, tr. Asad
He alone has the right to break,
for He alone has the power to mend.
He that knows how to sew together,
knows how to tear apart:
whatever He sells,
He buys something better in exchange.
He lays the house in ruins;
then in a moment He makes it more liveable than before.
Mathnawi I:3882-3886, tr. Helminski
