t to go on unchecked?” (Surat al-Qiyama: 36), Allah tells human
beings that they are always under His control. But unaware
people are far from thinking and grasping this fact. However,
only a moment of sincere contemplation will suffice to think
what life would be if man had to accomplish and control
everything by himself.
For example, right now we are unaware of all the things
happening in our bodies and feel no need to take an interest
in them. And yet our organs continue to function in constant
harmony with each other. As far as we are concerned, our first
priority is having a constant supply of oxygen to sustain our
lives. Of course, we have other priorities as well, such as con-
trolling our heart’s beating, maintaining our blood circulation,
keeping the acidity in our stomach balanced, digestion, and
countless other functions.
Imagine the impossible, that we controlled all of our bod-
ily functions. For example, who controls these functions when
we are asleep, for they never stop. If our heart slipped out of
control for just a few minutes, it would stop beating and we
would die. But it is also true that we need to sleep. And this is
not all we would have to do if left on our own. For example,
we would have to ensure the external conditions needed to
sustain our lives.
Clearly, since we cannot control our own bodies, it
requires a great deal of imagination to think that we could
possibly have any influence on the countless delicately
adjusted and balanced systems underlying the world and the
universe. When we consider this and see that we cannot con-
trol anything, we realize that Allah controls all things with His
