we call the external world? Who continues to create all these

perceptions ceaselessly?

The answer is obvious. Allah, who breathed the spirit He created

for man into him, is the Creator of all things. He is also the real

source of all perceptions. The existence of anything is only possible

through Allah's creation. Allah informs us that He creates continuously

and that everything will disappear whenever He halts creation:

"Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth, lest they

cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them

[in place] after Him. Indeed, He is Forbearing and

Forgiving. 93

A person may tend not to accept the reality because of the

inculcation he has received for so many years. However, no matter

how he strives to ignore this fact or avoids it, the truth is obvious. All

the perceptions presented to a human soul can exist only by the

creation of Allah. Furthermore, not only the external world but all

actions one takes on his own come into existence by the will of Allah.

It is simply impossible for man to have any power or will independent

of Allah. In the Qur’an it is stated as follows:

92 Surah as-Sajda, 32:7-9.
93 Surah Fatir, 35:41.
