for are innumerable, but they may be generally included in
three categories: 1) worldly gifts, 2) religious gifts, and 3)
Hereafter gifts. World}/ gifts include inherited (spirit, brain,
thinking, speech, etc.), physical (the body and its powers,
health, sound organs, physical beauty, etc.), and earned gifts
(purification of the spirit, i.e., cleansing it of bad behavior
and giving it a good manner, etc.). Religious gifts include
knowledge and taqwa (obeying the commands and avoiding
what is forbidden; following the Revelation and being pre-
pared for death; being pleased with whatever Allah gives,
even if it is a little, etc.). Hereafter gifts include forgiveness of
sins, the great reward in reply to the insignificant deeds of the
slave's short lifetime, an eternal place in the close company of
angels, and the favors of Paradise.

angels, ants, fish, etc. Thus Allah is The Lord of all creation.
