Allah, there is no deity but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining . (Surah Al ‘Imran, 3:2)
Some people believe that Allah created the universe’s flawless system and then left it to its own devices.
Though not often expressed, people harbor this mistaken belief in their
subconscious. Those who do not want to acknowledge their responsibility
to Allah and do not perform the deeds that He demands from them believe
that this belief provides a way to escape their responsibilities.
However, there are such causes and laws adorned with delicate details
underlying all of existence that, such complex systems cannot proceed
without a superior power supervising them. People who can hear, see, and
deduce from these experiences recognize this fact immediately. Indeed,
Allah relates that He is the One Who holds the heavens, Earth, and
everything in between, as follows:
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. Certainly He is Lenient,
Ever-Forgiving. (Surah Fatir, 35:41)
As this verse states, Allah created the universe and keeps a firm hold on it.
Life exists only because He holds sway over it. This is also true for
the stability of the universe’s extraordinarily intricate balances and
the existence of the subtleties inherent in those systems. The Qur’an
relates these facts, 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)
Faces will be humbled to the Living, the All-Sustaining. And anyone weighed down with wrongdoing will have failed. (Surah Ta Ha, 20:111)
