Karta (The Creator) and Karim (The beneficient) are the names of the same God. _x000D_ Razak (The provider) and Rahim (The merciful) are also the names given to Him. _x000D_ Let no man in his error wrangle over differences in names. _x000D_ Worship the One God who is the Lord of all. Know that his form is one and He is the One light diffused in all.
