P. 42
Have you seen him who takes his whims and desires to be his god
– whom Allah has misguided knowingly, sealing up his hearing
and his heart and placing a blindfold over his eyes? Who then will
guide him after Allah? So will you not pay heed? (Qur'an, 45:23)
HE REGULATES ALL AFFAIRS
Allah is He Who raised up the heavens without any support – you
can see that – and then established Himself firmly on the Throne.
He made the sun and moon subservient, each running for a
specified term. He directs the whole affair. He makes the Signs
clear so that hopefully you will be certain about the meeting with
your Lord. (Qur'an, 13:2)
He directs the whole affair from heaven to earth. Then it will again
ascend to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand years by the
way you measure. (Qur'an, 32:5)
IT IS HE WHO CREATED ALL THINGS
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He
have a son when He has no wife? He created all things and He
has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 6:101)
We created you and then formed you and then We said to the
angels, 'Prostrate before Adam,' and they prostrated – except for
Diabolis. He was not among those who prostrated. (Qur'an, 7:11)
He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs.
He does not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He
created everything and determined it most exactly. (Qur'an, 25:2)
Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and earth, has
the power to create the like of them, and has appointed fixed terms
for them of which there is no doubt? But the wrongdoers still
spurn anything but disbelief. (Qur'an, 17:99)
Whether you keep your words secret or say them out loud He
knows what the heart contains. Does He Who created not then
know? He is the All-Pervading, the All-Aware. (Qur'an, 67:13-14)
