His chair encompasses the heavens and the earth, and

their preservation tires Him not. He is the Most High, the

Magnificent.” 100

Allah's knowledge and ability surrounds us from the front, back,

right and left; that is to say, He encompasses us completely. He

observes us everywhere, at every moment. He holds absolute control

over us, from inside and out. He, the Owner of Infinite Might, is closer

to us than our own jugular veins or hearts:

We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein. 101

And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his

heart and that to Him you will be gathered. 102

This is the point about which disbelievers carry a great

misconception; they take a world which is essentially illusionary to be

real. While they make a mockery of religion and believers and reject

the revelations of Allah, they assume that they can escape, while they

are, in fact, totally engulfed by Allah. This is indeed one of the

greatest realities about which arrogant disbelievers are heedless. Not

only that, but the life of this world, to which they are so ambitiously

attached, slips away through their fingers.
