be to Him) is unique.

this universe; on land or at sea, during the night or the day, at home or
in open areas or deserts.

Everything is under His knowledge, His sight and hearing. He hears

your speech and sees where you are. He knows your secrets and your
public statements.
Belief in His Angels

have been told (from clay, like the clay of
pottery)." - Narrated by Muslim.

ask for forgiveness for the believers.
