God and the Universe

GOD AND MAN Briefly put, if man reflects on his case with seriousness, he will find that in this world, he is in the position of a servant, and God is in the position of his Master. That person alone deserves to be called an actual human being who discovers this reality using his intellectual abilities. All the eternal successes will be decreed upon him on this basis. Conversely, a person who fails to discover this truth is no better than an animal in human form. Such a person faces nothing but eternal loss. The person who discovers this reality will, in a very natural way, respond to it in a manner that reflects these words of the very first chapter of the Quran: “All praise is due to God, the Lord of the Universe” (1:2) These words express gratefulness to that Almighty Being who is the Sustainer of all the worlds and the One who compensates for all the limitations of human beings. This acknowledgement can produce a veritable revolution inside a person if he is overwhelmed with an intense love for God and fear of God. This person is referred to as a believer in the Quran who has discovered God. THE HUMAN MIND Experts have estimated that man’s brain contains more particles than the collective number of particles in the universe. The brain’s capacity is immense, but not even a great scientist has used more than a tenth of it.
