Ramadhan Reminders: “God’s Existence and Unity”
Its Ramadhan, were all fasting (those of us who are muslims) so lets remind each other why there is a GOD (Allah) and he is one.
DECISIVE ARGUMENTS FOR GOD’S EXISTENCE AND UNITY
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
God is the Creator of all things, and He is guardian and watcher over everything. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and Earth. (39:62-3)
Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom and inner dimensions of all things. (36:83)
There is nothing but with Us are the stores thereof. (15:21)
There is not a moving creature but He has grasp of it by the forelock. (11:56)
Belief in God’s Unity has two degrees
Belief in God’s Unity has two degrees. The first degree is believing superficially that God has no partners, and that the universe belongs only to Him. Such believers may be susceptible to deviation and confusion. The second degree is being firmly convinced that God is One, that everything belongs to Him exclusively, and that only He creates. Such believers see His seal and observe His stamp on all things. Free from all doubt, they feel themselves always and everywhere in His Presence. Their conviction cannot be diluted by deviation or doubt.
In sum, God’s Dignity and Grandeur require apparent causes to prevent complaints and to hide, from those who reason superficially, the hand of Power’s involvement in certain seemingly insignificant or vile things and affairs. At the same time, God’s Unity and Glory require that these apparent causes have no part in either the creation or disposition of things.
