they are aware or unaware. He constantly re-
news each of these blessings and creates the aston-
ishing details in each one. This is Allah’s art of detail.
With His unbounded knowledge, Allah created systems
that human beings cannot comprehend because they have not
yet discovered their details. Inside each detail are even more del-
icate beauties that reveal His Greatness and Might.
This is a very simple matter for Almighty Allah, Who creates
from nothing, sets a value on all things according to His will, and
Who has the power to create them when He wills to do so. If He
willed, he could dispose of them all while still creating. Our du-
ty is to thank Him for these unconditional blessings, know that we
need Him, and turn only to Him.
This book seeks to remind people of this important truth,
which He revealed in the Qur’an:
Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Allah. He is
the Almighty, the All-Wise. The kingdom of the heavens and
Earth belongs to Him. He gives life and causes to die. He has
power over all things. He is the First and the Last, the
Outward and the Inward. He has knowledge of all things. It
is He Who created the heavens and Earth in six days, then es-
tablished Himself firmly on the Throne. He knows what
goes into the ground and what comes out of it, what
comes down from heaven and what goes up into it. He
is with you wherever you are–Allah sees what you do.
(Surat al-Hadid, 1-4)
