“It was as though the music I heard… expressed a primordial beauty left concealed only for human beings to uncover. Like the physical laws of nature, God created them, but human beings discover and harness these laws to their benefit. It was as if God had created the secret of this
rhythmic beauty but left it hidden only to be found and restructured to pay homage to the very idea of beauty.”
Khaled Abou El Fadl, Reasoning with God, 2014: p. 282)
