All things in the heavens and on earth belong to Him.
All things in the heavens and on earth belong to Him. Who is he who can intercede with Him but by His permission? He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, nor shall they grasp any matter of His knowledge except for what He pleases. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and the preservation of them tires Him not. And He is the High, the Supreme." (2:255) Or: "Say: He Allah is One. Allah is the Absolute Self‑Sufficient.
He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is not a single one to equate with Him." (112) There are many more ayat describing the attributes of Allah the Almighty but these few may be sufficient to ask ourselves how we can consider a God who falls short of the qualities extracted from these four ayat.
This would mean one who: • is not being praised and glorified by all beings in the heavens and on earth, • has no control over the dominion of the heavens and earth (cannot induce rain, earthquake, movement of the celestial bodies, etc.), • cannot give life and death, • has no power over all things, • did not exist from "the Beginning" nor shall last to "the End", • is indistinct and affected, • does not have full Knowledge of all things, • cannot create the heavens and earth, • does not know the inflow and outflow of the heavens and earth, • cannot be with you wheresoever you may be, • does not see what you do, • cannot receive all affairs; or all affairs do not go back to him, • has no power over the emergence of day and night, • has no knowledge of the secrets of all hearts, • is not the Absolute Sovereign, • cannot create nor originate, • is not everliving, • is not the Self‑subsisting, and the Absolute Needless, • gets tired and drowsy, or slumbers, • is not One (the Only), • is not the Absolute Self‑sufficient (on Whom all others depend), • begets or is begotten, • is like others (taking spouse, having companions and colleagues).
This list can grow rapidly if one uses more ayat which describe Allah's attributes. It is obvious that one who is affected by a tiny insect and escapes from it cannot be considered The Almighty, no matter what names misguided and misdirected people may assign to him to justify their own belief, and perhaps to deceive and mislead others. To whom was the Noble Qur'an revealed?
