MIRACLE IN THE EYE

ial universe in the form of an “illusion,” “shadow,” or “image.” As a conse-
quence of the perfection in His creation, human beings can never reach the
world outside their brains. Only God knows this real material universe.
Another interpretation of the above verse is that God constantly main-
tains the images of the material universe that people see. (God knows best.) If
God wished not to show us the image of the world in our minds, the entire uni-
verse would disappear for us, and we could never again make contact with it.
Faced with such facts, one must conclude that the only absolute being is
God, Who encompasses everything in the heavens and the Earth:
What! Are they in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? What!
Does He not encompass all things! (Qur'an, 41: 54)

Both East and West belong to God, so wherever you turn, the Face of
God is there. God is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 2: 115)
What is in the heavens and in the Earth belongs to God. God encom-
passes all things. (Qur'an, 4: 126)

When We said to you, "Surely your Lord encompasses the people
with His knowledge"… (Qur'an, 17: 60)
… His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the Earth and their
preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.
(Qur'an, 2: 255)
God's knowledge and ability surrounds us from the front and back,
from right and left—that is to say, He encompasses us completely. He ob-
serves us everywhere, at every moment. He holds absolute control over us,
from inside and outside. He, the Owner of infinite might, is closer to us than
our own jugular veins.

Conclusion
It is of the utmost importance to understand correctly the secret beyond
matter explained in this chapter. Mountains, plains, flowers, people, seas—
briefly everything we see and everything that God informs us in the Qur’an
that exists and that He created out of nothing is created and does indeed
exist. However, people cannot see, feel or hear the real nature of these beings
