Yuhibbunahum Kahubbillah Wallazina Amanuu Ashaddu Hubban Lillah -al-baqarah 165- | 2027 |

Why do the believers love Allah more ashaddu ? Because they recognize three truths that the idolater ignores:

Zaid was there, too, helping people escape the heat. He had spent ten years of his life carving the library's intricate wooden doors. They were gone in seconds. Yet, Zaid’s face held a strange, focused peace.
