[The obvious fact that everything in the created universe is finite and perishable effectively refutes the claim that it could be a "projection" of the Creator, who is infinite and eternal.] But woe unto you for all your [attempts at] defining [God] - [Lit., "for all that you attribute [to God] by way of description" or "of definition" (cf. the last sentence of 6:100 and the corresponding note) - implying that the idea of God's "immanence" in His creation is equivalent to an attempt to define His Being.] | ||||||
