1. That statement is absolute truth about the Almighty Allah.
2. That statement is factual direction – ‘You read in the name of your God who is the Most Generous.’
3. That statement is an explanation with solid reasoning. God has generously empowered you to verbalize your feelings by reading and writing. Other creature we know are not blessed that way.
