Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth glorifies
Allah, the King, the All-Pure , the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat
al-Jumu‘a, 62:1)
Allah is the sole Creator of all that exists, whether in the various micro and macro-universes.
Many people fail to see this all-pervasive order and stability when they gaze around themselves.
As Allah states in “Allah keeps a firm hold on the heavens
and Earth, preventing them from vanishing. And if they vanished, no one
could then keep hold of them” (Surah Fatir, 35:41), He regulates and protects all of the various universes’ existing systems.
Given that we are inherently feeble, we sometimes err, forget, make
mistakes, and become heedless. We also have many weaknesses. For
example, we need to take care of our bodies, which involves endless
routines to keep them clean and fresh. If we become too tired, are
deprived of sleep for a few days, or do not drink for a prolonged time,
we become weak. Yet, Allah, Who possesses everything and owns the most
beautiful names, is surely beyond all weaknesses.
Allah’s infinite power, wisdom, glory, and unbounded knowledge are related in the Qur’an, as follows:
Allah, there is no deity but Him, the Living, the
Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in
the heavens and Earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except
by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind
them, but they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and Earth, and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat al-Baqara, 2:255)
And the Prophet (saas) used to say in his prayer, as related in the following hadith:
“Praise and Holiness to You, Lord of the angels and souls.” (Sahih Muslim)
