The heavens
declare the glory of God,
and the sky above
proclaims God's handiwork.
Psalm 19:1
​
God of all creation,
how splendid and majestic
is the world you created!
It reveals your glory;
it teaches us about you.
Pope Francis, 2020

The Qur'an mentions that all sacred books of all traditions have their origins in the "Mother of the book," which resides at the primordial beginning with Allah.
This is not a book with words, but rather the archetype of all the sacred teachings of humanity.
In addition, the Qur'an teaches that the Arabic words manifested to the Prophet Mohammed only reflect the larger "Qur'an of creation," which is the universe that Allah has created. (verse 42:29)
In this sense, each individual being is really a verse of "the sacred manuscript of nature," which transcends all holy books.
