Praise is to Allah (s. w. t), may His peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah who was the most eloquent in speech.
Allah SWT says in the Holy Qur’an:
” وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْعَالِمِينَ “
“And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the difference of your languages and colors. Verily, these are Signs for the men of sound knowledge.”(AL-Roman:22).
