Thus, the blessed Verse ends with: "He is the Glorious, All-Wise.
Thus, the blessed Verse ends with: "He is the Glorious, All-Wise." The blessed Verse may also reflect that all the atoms of the world of creation possess some kind of perception such that they praise and glorify God Almighty in their own spheres despite that fact that owing to our limited knowledge, we are unaware of their states.
It is also worthy of note that "whatsoever" (ma) in "Whatsoever is in the heavens" (sabbaha li-lah ma fi ’l-samawat) covers a broad semantic range including all the creatures of the world inclusive of those having intellect, animate, and inanimate beings.
Following an enumeration of two Divine Attributes, All-Glorious and All-Wise, in the first blessed Verse, the second blessed Verse treats of His Possession and Sovereignty in the world of existence as the pre-requisites of Omnipotence and Wisdom, saying: "His is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. It is He Who gives life and causes death and He is Able to do all things.
Divine Possession of the world of existence is true and formative rather than statutory or hypostasized.” In other words, His Omnipotence and Wisdom encompasses everything and all the world of existence is dependent upon His Might, Will, and Command. It is in this vein that the blessed Verse treats of giving life and causing death and Divine Omnipotence. Thus, so far mention is made of six Divine Attributes in these two blessed Verses.
Giving life and causing death is reflected in numerous Qur’anic Verses. These two issues are secrets, namely no one but God Almighty is truly aware of life and death, but we are solely aware of the tokens. It is however a source of surprise life and death are nearest to us but the truth and secrets of the same of the most unraveled issues.
It is worthy of note that the Arabic present verbal forms yuhyi wa yumit ("gives life and causes death") reflect continuity of life and death at all times and the twain encompass all forms of life and death ranging from the world of angels to other animate beings like animals and plants not only in this mundane life but also the forms of life in purgatory and the Day of Resurrection. Life and death in all forms are dependent upon Divine Omnipotence.
The blessed Verse three deals with five more Attributes saying: "He is the First and the Last, the Manifest, and the Unmanifest.
