The god of mankind.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
The God of mankind.
Insight
Elmalılı explains that these three names come in an order: the Lord who nurtures, the King who governs, and finally the God who is worshipped. For him, a person comes to know their God when they understand where they came from, where they are going, and what will truly satisfy the heart.
Reflect
What brings your heart the most peace?
