A ALLAH, OUR CREATOR?

Who created you? Who granted you your body, your eyes, or
the color of your hair? Who determined the shape of your body or
the color of your eyes? Who created all other people, the heavens,
Earth, and every living being in between? Who determined the
order of the planets, the Sun, and the stars in the depths of space?
Your answers to all these questions will be the same: “Allah.”
When asked to other people, they will also answer: “Allah.” Indeed,
Allah informs us in the Qur’an that people will confess this fact, as
follows:
If you ask them: “Who created the heavens and Earth and
made the Sun and Moon subservient?” They will say:
“Allah.” So how have they been deluded [away from the
truth]? (Surat al-‘Ankabut, 29:61)
So, how well do you know our Creator, Who planned you and
the entire universe with a delicate equilibrium? Are you aware that
He sees and hears you every moment and knows your every act?
Where do you think Allah is? Did He create you and then leave you
to your own devices? Does He tell you how to live? Can you see
Him? Has anyone talked with Him? What other creatures did He
create? What kind of a life does He promise after death?
No doubt, many similar questions may be raised and you may
answer them in your own way. While doing so, you will rely on
what you have learned from your family or relatives, the people sur-
rounding you, or the books you have read. Well, have you ever won-
dered if their answers are correct?
Everyone may put forward different views about Allah.
