" ... the meaning of “victory” is not this, that anyone should fight or strive with anyone."





“‘He is God, exalted is He. “‘It hath been known that God (glorious is His mention) is sanctified from the world and what is therein, and that the meaning of “victory” is not this, that anyone should fight or strive with anyone. The Lord of He doeth what He will 29 hath committed the kingdom of creation, both land and sea, into the hand of kings, and they are the manifestations of the Divine
Power according to the degrees of their rank: verily He is the Potent, the Sovereign. But that which God (glorious is His mention) hath desired for Himself is the hearts of His servants, which are treasures of praise and love of the Lord and stores of divine knowledge and wisdom. ..."
