The creator is one, and the human soul is one; from this soul. God created its mate, and from the original family have descended all people: multitude of men and women. God then commands us to fear two things: God and ' wombs ' (al- arham).'The wombs' refers here to the human born that links all men, however remote they may be from each other in space or time, and however unlike they may be in language and colour, and however much they may differ in economic or social position. We are ordered to fear God's commands, and this applies first and foremost to the observation of human brotherhood on the widest scale, with respect to which God adds: Verily, God watches over you.'
