Each day during Ramadan, I am presenting a verse from the Quran with a few thoughts or comments. An introduction to this series is here. Inshallah (God willing), I hope that this may be of benefit to any who are interested in learning a bit more about Islam and Muslim belief.

Quran 40:57:

Indeed the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of humankind but most people do not know it
Perhaps sometimes we humans tend to assume that we are the peak of creation or the greatest of creations. But apparently not, according to this verse.

The verse may also suggest that the creation of humankind was not that great a thing for God.

I've been putting in a lot of extra hours at work this week and I'm too tired to think of anything clever to say about this verse, I just think it's interesting and may put us in our place if we start getting above ourselves.
