Naming Infinity – One hundred Minus One | 2013 CE / 1434 AH
Inspirational texts:
“God has ninety-nine names, one hundred minus one, for He is singular and loves singularity. Whoever enumerates them enters Paradise.”
Inspired by a well-known hadith
“Has the story of the litigants come within thy ken – [the story of the two] who surmounted the walls of the sanctuary [in which David prayed]? (21)
As they came upon David, and he shrank back in fear from them, they said: “Fear not! [We are but] two litigants. One of us has wronged the other: so judge thou between us with justice, and deviate not from what is right, and show [both of] us the way to rectitude. (22)
“Behold, this is my brother: he has ninety-nine ewes, whereas I have [only] one ewe – and yet he said, ‘Make her over to me,’ and forcibly prevailed against me in this [our] dispute.” (23)
Said [David]: “He has certainly wronged thee by demanding that thy ewe be added to his ewes! Thus, behold, do many kinsmen wrong one another – [all] save those who believe [in God] and do righteous deeds: but how few are they!”
And [suddenly] David understood that We had tried him: and so he asked his Sustainer to forgive him his sin, and fell down in prostration, and turned unto Him in repentance. (24)”
Inspired by Surah 38 – Ṣād, verses 21-24 of the Holy Qur’ān
