The Creator's knowledge is a treasure held between the letters 'Kaf' and 'Nun'; by simply uttering the command 'Kun' (Be!), this entire universe came into being.
This verse reflects on the breathtaking mystery of creation through the divine command 'Kun' (Be!), which is made of just two Arabic letters: Kāf and Nūn. The poet imagines that God's infinite wisdom and creative force were folded into this brief, sacred word. With just a single divine utterance, the entire universe—spanning all of space and time—instantly burst into being.
