Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind). “If the sea were ink for (writing) the Words of my Lord, surely, the sea would be exhausted before the Words of my Lord would be finished, even if we brought (another sea) like it for its aid.” (Al-Kahf 18:109)
Allah says:
`Say, O Muhammad, if the water of the sea were ink for a pen to write
down the words, wisdom and signs of Allah, the sea would run dry before
it all could be written down (even if We brought like it) means, another
sea, then another, and so on, additional seas to be used for writing.
The Words of Allah would still never run out.
As Allah says:
(And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink), with seven seas behind it to increase it, yet the Words of Allah would not be exhausted. Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.)[31:27]
Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said,
“The parable of the knowledge of all of mankind, in comparison to the
knowledge of Allah, is that of a drop of water in comparison to all of
the oceans.”
No one can comprehend the greatness of
Allah or praise Him as He deserves to be praised, except the One Who
praises Himself. Our Lord is as He says He is and He is beyond what we
can say. The blessings of this world, the beginning and end of it, in
comparison to the blessings of the Hereafter, are like a mustard seed compared to the entire world.
