Praise be to Allah … Who has ever been existent when there was no sky with domes, nor curtains with lofty doors, nor gloomy night, nor peaceful ocean, nor mountains with broad pathways, nor curved mountain roads, nor earth of spread floors, nor self-reliant creatures. (Imam Ali, attributed in Nahjul Balaga Sermon 89)

Hu is the Life of all things, the Light of all things, Glorious is Hu, the Most High, far above what they say about Hu (Imam Ali)
O Allah, give us water
O Allah, give us water with a watering through which You will make the stone hills pour, fill the cisterns, flood the rivers, make the trees grow…(Imam Ali bin Hussein, Sahifa al-Kamilah, dua 19)
