So work (as you will) and we are working.’"
Koran 41:1-5
The compelling beauty of the Koranic recitation held Utbah's attention in wonderment as
he sat leaning on his hands behind his back. As he listened further he heard of the
creation of the heavens and the earth. Then he heard of the prophets sent to the
arrogant people of Aad, and of the proud people of Thamood. He learned that all but a
few of their citizens refused to listen to the Message Allah had given to their prophets, so
with the exception of those who believed, they were subjected to punishments of the
severest kind in this world and then even greater punishment in the Everlasting Life.
The Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) continued his recitation with verses that drew
attention to the multiple signs surrounding us and concluded with:
"Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.
But do not prostrate yourselves before the sun or the moon
