God is Matchless

God is Matchless

1991 7 June 7 God is Matchless (274) It has been said in the Qur’an that Allah is matchless (AI-Shura 11). Allah is supreme. And this very fact makes him the Lord of the whole universe. This should make us bow before Him; accept His authority and acknowledge our weakness.

God has always been present. Man has come into existence because He created him. God is above being created. His presence is eternal He has always been and He will always be. He is one. He is independent of everything. He has neither a father nor a son. There is no equal to Him.

God has the power to create from nothingness. It is He who created things which did not exist before. Matter, light, energy and intelligence which can be seen in the world today, are all His creation. He has brought them into this world.

God knows about hidden things. He knows the future. From this emerged the universe, in which each system· is integrated to a faultless functioning.

God is alive. He needs no sleep. He needs no rest. He is running his big universe continuously. For billions of years, things have moved with fixed regularity without a pause. There has been no disturbance. God is all-powerful. Man derives his strength from Him. God can see everything. Man derives his sight from Him. God is dispenser of intelligence and comprehension to man. God can see everything. Man derives his sight from Him. God is everything. God possesses qualities that are known and also that are not known to us. In this world we have seen only God’s creation, but, in the life of the hereafter, will witness His sovereignty.

The Prophet did not allow his hand to be kissed

1991 7 July 7 The Prophet did not allow his hand to be kissed (59) The Prophet bought some cloth from a shopkeeper: The transaction completed, the Prophet got up to leave. The shopkeeper made as if to kiss the Prophet’s hand, but the Prophet immediately put his hand behind his back and said: ‘This is what Asian people do with their kings. I am not a king; I am just one of you.”
