them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Lord in heaven… But
when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Lord,
Who is unseen. Then your Lord, Who sees what is done in secret, will re-
ward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for
they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like
them, for your Lord knows what you need before you ask him… And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil … for Yours is the kingdom
and the power and the glory forever. (Matthew 6:1-8, 13)
These facts revealed in the New Testament are in complete harmony
with those revealed in the Qur'an, and are expressions of the absolute
truths taught by all of God's prophets since the beginning of history
down to the present day: God created time, space, human beings, all the

worlds, and all that exists within them. Our Lord, Who is unsullied by
any imperfection or deficiency, is the Superior and Great. Everything
takes place according to His will and with His permission. As the Qur'an
reveals, not a leaf falls to the ground unless He wills it to do so, and no fe-
male conceives and no living thing gives birth without His knowledge.
God knows everything, whether secret or open, and is Almighty. God
has the power to do whatever He wills, for He is the Lord of infinite
might and power. It is sufficient for Him to say, Be! for a thing to come

into being. Nothing is impossible in His sight, for He is the sole authority
and sole Lord of might in the universe.
The New Testament proclaims His absolute dominion over the uni-
verse through examples indicating that God, the Lord of the Worlds,
gives human beings all of their powers and abilities, creates everything
that happens, and gives life to all living things.
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather,
be afraid of the One Who can destroy both soul and body in Hell. Are not
two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground
apart from the will of your Lord. (Matthew 10:28-29)

A person can receive only what is given to him from heaven. (John 3:27)
