In this podcast, Dr. Ingrid Mattson explains the importance of knowing and reflecting on who the Almighty Creator is, and who we are through the stories of the Qur'an. She specifically uses the example of the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) to portray the difference between the creation's contingent power and control, and God's absolute power and control.
