                    . . . Allah’s command is a pre-ordained decree. (Surat al-
                    Ahzab, 49)
                    If all events are created in a single moment and if we observe
               these only within our perception of time, then we must conclude
               that there is a Creator Who knows all these events from the very
               beginning, Who is not subject to time, Who sees these things as we
               experience them and Who therefore created them.
                    This Creator, Who creates for us images, sounds and tastes—
               in short, the external world, as well as the perception of time—
               must be aware of the circumstances and existence of all that He has
               created, and must observe them at all moments. This Great Creator,
               Who causes us to perceive all these things and reveals them to our
               minds, must keep them under His control at all times. Allah, Lord
               of the worlds, the Sublime and Almighty, is the Creator of all
               things. The fact that He knows and creates the condition of all
               things shows us the fact of destiny.
                    A period of time lasting billions of years for us is but a “single
               moment” in the Sight of Allah. Something that for us will take
               place in the future is already over and done with in the Sight of
               Allah. We observe the future within the concept of time that we
               perceive. The fact is, however, that anything we need to wait for al-
               ready exists in the Sight of Allah. All events that will take place in
                  Almighty Allah is He Who creates images, sounds, tastes, in short the whole
                  external world and the perception of time for us, and Who knows all the enti-
                  ties He has created, and all their situations. Everything is under His control.
                  Allah’s creation and knowledge of the status of all things reveals to us the fact
                  of destiny.
