Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 81

Him. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who
can intercede in His Presence except as He permits? He
knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or
behind them. Nor shall man grasp anything of His knowl-
edge except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heav-
ens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and
preserving them, for He is the Most High, and the Supreme
(in glory). (Surat al-Baqara, 255)
The facts that Allah is not bound by space and that He encom-
passes everything are stated in another verse as follows:
To Allah belong the East and the West: Wherever you turn,
there is the Presence of Allah. For Allah is all-Pervading,
and all-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara, 115)
The fullness of faith consists of understanding this truth, avoid-
ing the mistake of associating others with Allah and acknowledging
Allah as the One Absolute Being. Someone who knows that, apart
from Allah, everything is a shadow existence, will say with certain
faith (at the level of Haqq-al yakin – truth of certainty) that only
Allah exists and there is no other deity (or any being with strength)
besides Him.
The materialists do not believe in the existence of Allah, be-
cause they cannot see Him with their eyes. But their claims are com-
pletely invalidated when they learn the real nature of matter.
Someone who learns this truth understands that his own existence
has the quality of an illusion, and grasps that a being which is an il-
lusion will not be able to see a being which is absolute. As it is re-
vealed in the Qur'an, human beings cannot see Allah but Allah sees
them.
Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight...
(Surat al-An‘am, 103)
