Since a human being is not merely a lump of matter but a "soul," then who makes that soul feel
the sum of perceptions which we call the external world? Who continues to create all these perceptions,
ceaselessly?
The answer is obvious. God, Who breathed into man His spirit, is the Creator of all things. He
is also the real source of all perceptions. The existence of anything is possible only through God's cre-
ation. God informs us that He creates continuously and that whenever He stops creating, everything
will disappear:
God keeps a firm hold on the heavens and the Earth, preventing them from vanishing away. And if
they vanished no one could then keep hold of them. Certainly He is Most Forbearing, Ever-
Forgiving. (Qur'an, 35: 41)
This verse is describing how the material universe is maintained under the might of God. God cre-
ated the universe, the Earth, mountains, and all living and non-living things, and maintains all these
under His power at every moment. God manifests His name al-Khaliq in this material universe. God
is al-Khaliq, in other words, the Creator of all things, the Creator from nothing. This shows that there
is a material universe, outside our brains, consisting of entities created by God. However, as a miracle
and manifestation of the superior nature of His creation and His omniscience, God shows us this ma-
terial universe in the form of an “illusion,” “shadow,” or “image.” As a consequence of the perfection
in His creation, human beings can never reach the world outside their brains. Only God knows this re-
al material universe.
Another interpretation of the above verse is that God constantly maintains the images of the ma-
terial universe that people see. (God knows best.) If God wished not to show us the image of the world
in our minds, the entire universe would disappear for us, and we could never again make contact with
it.
Faced with such facts, one must conclude that the only absolute being is God, Who encompasses
everything in the heavens and the Earth:
What! Are they in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? What! Does He not encompass all
things! (Qur'an, 41: 54)
Both East and West belong to God, so wherever you turn, the Face of God is there. God is All-
Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 2: 115)
What is in the heavens and in the Earth belongs to God. God encompasses all things. (Qur'an, 4:
126)
When We said to you, "Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His knowledge"… (Qur'an,
17: 60)
… His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the Earth and their preservation does not tire Him.
He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Qur'an, 2: 255)
God's knowledge and ability surrounds us from the front and back, from 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 outside. He, the Owner of infinite might, is closer to all of us than our
own jugular veins.
