(A) God in Himself:
Major theme of the Holy Quran is to highlight Magnificence, Oneness and uniqueness of
God (Allah), and His supreme Powers by drawing attention of the mankind to His
Attributes:
The Creator:
All what we see in this universe comprising of billions of galaxies, stars and planets have
been created by no one but Allah alone. Being the Sovereign Lord of the universe, He
46
administers it single-handedly, without the assistance of anyone or interference from any
quarter. The stand of the atheists that this universe came into being as a result of some
accident and that it would continue to function in a mechanical manner till it completes
the circle of its life and then dissolve into oblivion is, to say the least, a ridiculous idea.
The Holy Quran says:
And have they not looked into the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and all
things that Allah has created?” (7:185)
The One and Unique:
The Creator of the universe is One and Unique without any partners. The unity of design
and that of the fundamental facts of creation and existence of the universe proclaim His
Oneness. The Holy Quran says:
“There is nothing whatever like unto Him.” (42:11)
The Sustainer:
Allah not only created the world but He is also its Sustainer, Cherisher and Provider.
Allah in the Holy Quran has called Himself Rabbul Alameen:
“The Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds.” (1:1)
The Omnipotent:
He is All Powerful and Supreme, the Mightiest who created this immeasurably vast
universe. He is indefinable, unfathomable and inaccessible to human perception.
The Omnipresent:
Allah is present everywhere but His presence can be felt and visualized only by seeing
and probing the excellence and perfection of the universe which He has created. The
Holy Quran says:
“To Allah belong the East and the West: withersoever ye turn, there is the presence of
Allah. For Allah is All Pervading, All knowing.” (2:115)
The Omniscient:
His knowledge in all manifestations and dimensions is absolute, perfect and complete,
all-encompassing and all-embracing. He knows the hidden and the manifest, past and
present and also what lies ahead, to the minutest possible details.
The Holy Quran says:
“He is the First, the Last, the Most High and the Most Near. And He has full
knowledge of all things.” (57:3)
The Eternal and Absolute:
Allah is the Eternal, without beginning or end, He was there when there was nothing and
He will be there when nothing will be there. Allah is the Absolute, not limited by time or
place or circumstance. The Holy Quran says:
“Say: He is Allah, the One, Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor is He
begotten” (112:1-3)
The Law Giver:
Allah has not only created the universe but He has also laid down laws which govern all
its facets and dimensions. His signs in this respect are scattered everywhere within
ourselves and in the entire universe. The stars scattered throughout the infinite space, the
vast panorama of nature with its charm and beauty, the regular waxing and waning of the
moon, the astonishing harmony of seasons and days and nights all point towards one fact:
there is a God, the Creator, the Governor, the Law-Giver who is the Sovereign Lord of
this universe. The Holy Quran says:
“It is He who has created seven heavens one above another. No incongruity can
you see in the creation of the Most Beneficent.” (67:3-4)
The laws which He has given are eternal. A citrus tree is created to grow citrus, it can not
grow pomegranates. The sun will always rise from the east, not south, west or north.
