desires a God who can see a God who can hear and one who answers. Some religions present a man in the form of God; but the God that man desires can only be that God, who is greater than his own kind. By nature, Man's condition demands that there must be a benefactor for him in this Universe. The God that the Quran introduces us to is the One God; He is the Lord of all forms of powers; He was always there and will always remain; He has no partners; He alone created the whole Universe; He is the glory of this Universe and He alone controls and supports the entire Universe; He sees, hears and speaks; He is always ready and present to stand by anyone who calls Him; Man can communicate with Him at all times and at all places; Everything is in His power and control; He is the succour for man in his life before death and also in life after death. Our Universe does indeed declare the glory of God. Now it is for man to discover this glorious God. o Ignorance as a stepping stone To know that you do not know is half knowledge itself. If an ignorant person is not aware of his ignorance, he will continue to remain in the same state. But when he becomes aware of his ignorance, he sets about seeking for knowledge. In this way his awareness of his ignorance will become the stepping-stone leading towards full knowledge.
