Who is my Lord?

He pondered the universe around him, proving them wrong.
When he saw a planet, he said, “This is my Lord” and when it disappeared, he said with disapproval: ” Who rules the universe shall not disappear.”
Then he saw the moon and said, “This is my Lord” and when it disappeared, he said, “If my Lord does not guide me, I will be among the lost people.”
Then he saw the sun and said, “This is greater, this is my Lord,” and when the sun disappeared, he said, “I am innocent of all these things, it is my Lord who created the heavens and the earth.”
