Surah Saba'

I've just finished reading the translation of the Quran. Having done that, I want to go back and read in more detail surah Saba'. On my first read, the surah says a lot about perception. And I believe I can gain some insights that are related to my PhD works.

The general impression that I get is that Allah has the power to perceive everything. He is aware of all things that happen. In contrast, humans has a lot of limitations in their perceptual power. Not only human, but djinns are also mentioned in the surah. And I find the irony very interesting.

I'll try to dig deeper into this surah, and will share with you the irony later.
