The Most Glorious One
The Possessor of the Throne, the All-Glorious. (Surat al-Buruj,
85:15)

Allah’s glory manifests itself in every corner of the universe. All
people recognize Allah’s Highness, even those who deny Him or say:
“We disbelieve,” are, in actuality, well aware of His power and glory,
for they witness His creation all around them. However, due to their
arrogance, they do not believe.
The universe’s glorious beauties and flawless systems also befit
His glory. Clouds that carry tons of water in the sky, stars that are mil-
lions of light years away from us, waterfalls that fall with an enormous
noise and intensity, unbounded oceans, mountains with snowy sum-
mits extending high into the sky, woods that are inhabited by living
beings of countless colors, and noises are only a few of the beauties
created by Allah.
An earthquake that razes a region in a few seconds, a volcanic
eruption burying a city under a storm of hot lava, a hurricane causing
extensive damage to the region it strikes, a devastating flood, a fatal
lightning flash, a hurricane raging over cities, a flood ravaging popu-
lated areas, or a tornado sweeping away homes also are signs of
Allah’s power. These are only a very few signs showing Allah’s power.
As the Qur’an states:
He—exalted be the Majesty of our Lord!—has neither wife
nor son. (Surat al-Jinn, 72:3)
They said: “Are you astonished at Allah’s command? May
Allah’s mercy and His blessings be upon you, People of the
House! He is Praiseworthy, All-Glorious.” (Surah Hud, 11:73)
