الإسلام دين الفطرة والعقل والسعادة
Who created the heavens and the earth and the great creatures in them? And who devised this precise and elaborate system that governs them?
How is this vast universe structured and maintained by its perfectly calibrated laws that have existed since the beginning of time?
No one will accept the narrative that a house came into being without someone constructing it! Or that a mansion just appeared out of nothing! How come some people believe the assertion that there is no creator for this vast cosmos?! How does a reasonable person accept the idea that this fine-tuned cosmos came into being by coincidence?
Certainly, there is a supreme God who is the Creator and Master of this universe and what is in it, and He is Allah, the Almighty.
The Lord, Exalted be He, sent Messengers to us and sent down to them the Divine Books (revelation), the last of which is the Holy Quran, which Allah revealed to Muhammad, the last Messenger of Allah. Through His scriptures and messengers, Allah:
⦁ Introduced to us Himself, His Attributes, and his right over us, and explained our rights over him.
⦁ Guided us to know that He is the Lord Who created all creations and that He is alive and does not die. All of creation exists within His grasp, under His dominion, and subject to His control.
⦁ Informed us that one of his attributes is knowledge. He encompasses everything with knowledge, and He is All-Hearing and All-Seeing, with nothing concealed from Him neither on earth nor in heaven.
The Lord is the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining, from Whom alone every creature derives its life, Glory be to Him. He is the Sustainer, by Whom the life of every creature is established, Exalted be He. Allah says, “Allah: none has the right to be worshiped except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what was before them and what will be after them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge, except what He wills. His Kursī [i.e., footstool] extends over the heavens and earth, and safeguarding of both does not weary Him, for He is the Most High, the Most Great.” [Surat al-Baqarah: 255].
⦁ He revealed Himself as the Lord attributed with qualities of perfection. He bestowed upon us minds and senses to comprehend the marvels of His creation and His omnipotence, thereby revealing His greatness, power, and the perfection of His attributes. He ingrained within us an innate disposition that signifies His perfection, ensuring that no form of imperfection could be ascribed to Him.
⦁ He taught us that the Lord, above His heavens, is not a part of the world, nor does the world reside within Him.
⦁ He instructed us to submit to Him, for He is our Creator as well as the Creator and Ruler of the universe.
The Creator possesses the attributes of greatness and can never be associated with need or imperfection, for the Lord does not forget, sleep, nor eat food, and He cannot have a wife or a child. Therefore, all scriptures contrary to the greatness of the Creator are not of the true revelation brought by the Messengers of God (peace be upon them).
