Or do they [think that they] own the treasures of thy Sustainer’s grace – [the grace] of the Almighty, the Giver of Gifts? (Quran 38:9)

he prayed: “O my Lord! Forgive me my sins, and bestow upon me the gift of a kingdom which may not suit anyone after me: verily, Thou alone art a giver of gifts!” (Quran 38:35)
