The Oneness of God

THE LIFE WE WERE SEARCHING FOR rather than multiple ones. All branches of natural science astonishingly affirm that the universe operates under a single law. The laws governing the earth function flawlessly in celestial bodies as well. This certainty in the universe’s physical laws has driven man to invest billions of dollars and develop spacecraft capable of landing on the moon and Mars based on precise calculations. These words of the Quran indicate that the power that controls the universe is God, and He is One. All physical sciences amazingly testify that a single law binds the functioning of the entire universe. If the whole universe were not to function according to a single law and with total accuracy, the telescopes installed on the Earth would not be able to ‘see’ up to 8000 million light-years in the vast universe. Our physical sciences would suddenly lose all their importance. For the universe to be in a state of unity with such order and precision tells us that it is in the control of only One God. Had several ‘gods controlled it,’ chaos would have erupted. In the internecine conflict of various ‘gods,’ the universe would have been devastated and destroyed. Referring to the management of the universe, the Quran says: “It is He who has created all things and measured them out precisely.” (25:2) Physical observation tells us that there is one law for everything.
