THE WORD OF GOD

are the most excellent names. Everything in the heavens and Earth declares His glory. He is the Mighty, the Wise One. (59: 21-24) The Quran is a declaration of the vital fact that man is not free, but is answerable for all his deeds to God who is all-powerful and who keeps a close watch on the actions of all humankind. This fact is of such grave import that it is enough to make even mountains tremble. But man is so negligent, forgetful and insensitive that, even after knowing this awesome fact, he is not perturbed. The names of God mentioned here are, on the one hand, an introduction to God’s Being. On the other hand, they show how Great is that Being who is the Creator of human beings and who keeps a constant watch over them. If an individual actually realizes this, he will be completely engrossed in the remembrance and praises of God. The universe, by virtue of its creative meaningfulness, mirrors the attributes of God. It is itself wholly taken up with singing the praises of God and urges human beings to follow suit. o WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FEEDBACK Dear Readers, Spirit of Islam team believes in the involvement of readers to enhance the quality of the magazine.
