DARWINISM REFUTED

one of the works of Allah’s sublime creation. Allah is surely
"everywhere" and encompasses all. This reality is explained in the Qur'an
as follows;
Allah! There is no deity but He,--the Living, the Self-subsisting,
Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep can overtake Him. His are all
things in the heavens and on Earth. Who can intercede in His
Presence except as He permits? He knows what (appears to His
creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall man grasp
anything of His knowledge except as He wills. His Throne extends
over the heavens and the Earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding

the Presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading, and all-Knowing.
(Surat al-Baqara: 115)

One Absolute Being. Someone who knows that, apart from Allah,
everything is a shadow existence, will say with certain faith (at the level of

illusion, and grasps that a being which is an illusion will not be able to see
a being which is absolute. As it is revealed in the Qur’an, human beings
cannot see Allah but Allah sees them.
Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight... (Surat al-
An‘am: 103)

Certainly, we human beings cannot see the Being of Allah with our
eyes but we know that He completely encompasses our inside, our
outside, our views and our thoughts. For this reason, Allah reveals
