The matter became easy for them. They saw Him within every belief, just as they understood Him in every language. They were not bewildered, and they were guided. ﴿God speaks the truth, and He guides the way﴾ [al-Aḥzāb 33:4].
Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Five: On Knowing the Mutual Encounter ‘I Took the Covenant upon Myself: Sometimes I Fulfilled It, and Sometimes at My Servant's Hand I Did Not Fulfill It. Nonfulfillment Is Attributed to My Servant; So Do Not Object, for I Am There’
We have promised and threatened; as for Our threat,
Leave it if you will, while the promise is fulfilled.
For I am generous, and the generous one's attributes
Are as we have mentioned, while decree joins battle.
If he intends to execute the threat for his truthfulness,
A champion meets him, dueling for generosity,
And deters him from his intention through his prevailing power,
For mercy belongs to him, and from it he fights.
