Preface
Welcome to the world of Mystery and at the same time
authenticity. You will be wondering why you are reading this book, is
there a need for us to go with religion, and is there a kind of fear or
doubt about our current religion? Religion can be a just an assumptions
of some person or inspired by other religions or just a cook up story by
our ancestors.
For everyone among us, the first question to be answerable is;
after I came into this world, I started to follow a religion that is already
adapted by my parents and they embraces my current religion because
there parents used to practice it. Hence practicing a religion is just an
environmental factor for all of us. It is been practice in my house, hence I
had to adapt it and let my generation also practice the same. Finally the
story continued forever in almost all our families.
At this age, I am still at a stage where I never question my self
about my identity, my life, my religion and my status. The simple reasonis Ignorance and compromise with environment. Why I am Muslim, Why
my parents are Muslims? Why their parents are Muslims? Ever they
question themselves at anytime of their whole life time why we are
Muslims?
Consider the same questions with yourself and if you are not able
to answer the above questions alone, ask your brothers, sisters, wife, kin
and kiths so that you can make them aware with these questions and try
to find the final Truth with there help and at the end of all researchmake one statement as a bond between you and your upcoming
generation with final result and advice them to follow the understood
and tested Religion with specific reasons.
In this book, I am trying to do the asked activity for me and my
surrounding and my upcoming generation with a final verdict for the

If youre one of those who always seek the truth, seek peace and seek
wisdom. You have got the perfect book to judge who you are and why you areborn and once you die what is going to happen with you? These entire
questions usually encounter us in day to day life.
Everyone here in this world comes with a particular objective
that is
assigned to him by the Almighty, but unfortunately the discovery of the
objective takes a very long time and you spend most of the energy and age to
seek the truth that is already exposed from the day you get into this world.
You are in doubt about or have no clear idea about who is God? Howyou identify the GOD you are believing is the Real God? God: whether he is a
human being or anything else, why should I obey and follow God commands,
whether GOD created the whole existence that is visible to naked eye and that
is invisible to my naked eye? God is one or many or more? What are the
feature of GOD, Where God stayed, How the concept of God Evolved through
ages. Concept of God is real or just a cook up story of our ancestors? At this
moment, is there a need for GOD? God if he is male? She is also there with
him? God is begotten and God can also beget? God should have a similarity
between himself and his creation? God needs any kind to food to keep himhealthy, strong and active for complete 24 hours of a day.
May Almighty forgive both of us
, the writer and the reader about such
kind of questions that are usually arose for the wise as well as the ideal mind.
Why such type of question arises from everyone? This should be the main
question that should be the first one that we are tackling.
Answer is very simple, we dont know in actual sense who is God? Did
you ever consider when and at what age you heard for the first time the wordGod? Of Course, The answer for this question is also void.
If someone asks me one question of arithmetic like, 9 is greater than 3 or
3 is greater than 9, then my answer is as always, 9 is greater than 3. But the
questioner say I will turn a stick into a living snake with my power, can you
then believe 3 is greater than 9, it is impossible for me to agree for this,
because I already believed that 9 is always greater than 3. I am not going to

change my stand on my answer after seeing a miracle also. In similar way, To
understand something we should have a clear mindset, understanding about
what we are dealing with, like we know 9 is always a big quantity than 3,
Hence there are certain basic requirement that has get acquainted first then
we can solve such type of question basically.
Just start a walk towards the wall mirror, stand straight and take a deep
look at your body from the top till the bottom of your feet. You will a bunch of
hair on your head that compose with two eyes, one nose, and lips and then
follow your neck, then chest, then joint, the legs etc. Now come back to the
drop of sperm that has given such a great magnificent shape. According to
science, we believe a single sperm mingle with egg and then the process of
Birth begins and after a fixed period of time, a baby came into world.
Now, come out of your room and look at the sky again and again, so that
you can get a complete view of the endless sky with millions of millions stars
twinkling and see the crescent of moon spreading its coolness around. As you
watch the sky, keep searching pillars that are supporting the sky to stand
without a fall. Are you able to see? The entire set of pillars that keep
supporting the sky? None is available but from the day human got on the soil,
they are seeing the unlimited and ever expanding sky but yet to find atleast
one pillar.
Just look below your body, are you feeling the tough touch of earth, that
is the base on which you stood without floating in the air. According to basic
science knowledge we say earth a planet in one of the solar system. This earth
keep revolving around the sun and it encircle it complete in span of 365 days.
This earth inhabits million of creatures that live together, on land or in water or
in air on plants, Then all the existing living things drink water and eat all the
type of foods. Get inside the kitchen room, open freezer and see the fish, a
complete living animal, it also have complete life cycle. Then look at the icecube, just give a thought about it how water being a liquid acquire the form of
solid?
There are so many such things that encounter to us in day to day life, For
every encounter that get across us in our environment either we ignore it or
try to answer some of the easiest question or just end it by saying to self as let
us deal it in later time.

Now is the right time to decide on the very important question, WHO
AM I? To what category I belong, Did I got the capacity to think or did I have
atleast a part of wisdom so that I can select a best path for my chosen life so
that I will be considered in the group of Successful personalities of this World
and if you think so there also exist a world after you die.
Let me take you to the past, yes very much of the past, before anyone
landed on this earth that much past hence forth we can trace actually who am
I? If you dont know who you are? Then who you are going to called God? The
very beginning is necessary right?
In the Beginning!In the Beginning!In the Beginning!In the Beginning!
Very long time ago, countless time is passed, it is impossible to put the
exact number for the time that has passed as per today. From the ages there is
only one individual that exist is called Almighty GOD. In other words, in the
beginning God is there, at the end again and at this very moment God is there
with all his power and almighty God is not like all of us or any other creature
also, there is no image of Him that can be ever compared with. He is not a
creature or not a creation of anyone else. Creation is one of the power that the
almighty God possess with him, Almighty God cannot be consider as any of hisown creation, like you cannot imagine him like human being, or any other kind
that exist all over universe, He is one and Only one. There is none like Him.
What is the term ALLAH and GOD actually means?
Allah means (Arabic: "God"), the one and only God in the religion of
Islam. Etymologically, the name Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic
al-Ilah, "the God." The name's origin can be traced back to the earliest Semiticwritings in which the word for god was Il or El, the latter being an Old
Testament synonym for Yahweh.Allah is the standard Arabic word for "God"
and is used by Arab Christians as well as by Muslims.
Allah is the pivot of the Muslim faith. The Muslim holy scripture, the Qur'an,
constantly preaches Allah's reality, his inaccessible mystery, his various names,
and his actions on behalf of his creatures. Three themes preponderate: (1)

Page 8 of 49
Allah is creator, judge, and rewarder; (2) he is unique (wahid) and inherently
one (ahad); and (3) he is omnipotent and all-merciful. God is the "Lord of the
Worlds," the most high, "nothing is like unto him," and this in itself is to the
believer a request to adore Allah as protector and to glorify his powers of
compassion and forgiveness.
God says the Qur'an, "loves those who do good," and two passages in
the Qur'an express a mutual love between God and man, but the Judeo-
Christian precept to "love God with all thy heart" is nowhere formulated in
Islam. The emphasis is rather on God's inscrutable sovereignty, to which one
must abandon oneself. In essence, the "surrender to Allah" (islam) is the
religion itself.
Muslim piety has collected, in the Qur'an and in the Hadith (the sayings of the
Prophet Muhammad), the 99 "most beautiful names" (al-asma' al-husna) of
God, and these names have become objects of devoted recitation and
meditation. Among the names ofAllah are the One and Only, the Living One,
the Subsisting (al-Hayy al-Qayyum), the Real Truth (al-Haqq), the Sublime (al-
'Azim), the Wise (al-Hakim), the Omnipotent (al-'Aziz), the Hearer (as-Sami'),
the Seer (al-Basir), the Omniscient (al-'Alim), the Witness (Shahid), the
Protector (al-Wakil), the Benefactor (ar-Rahman), the Merciful (ar-Rahim), and
the Constant Forgiver (Ghafur, Ghaffar).
At all times there have been freethinkers in Islam, but rare indeed has been
the Muslim thinker who has denied the very existence of God. Indeed, the
profession of faith (shahadah) by which a person is introduced into the Muslim
community consists of the affirmation that there is no god but Allah and that
Muhammad is his prophet. For pious Muslims, every action is opened by an
invocation of the divine name (basmalah). The formula insha'a Allah, "if God
wills," appears frequently in daily speech. This formula is the reminder of an
ever-present divine intervention in the order of the world and the actions of
human beings. Muslims believe that nothing happens and nothing isperformed unless it is by the will or commandment of Allah. The personal
attitude of a Muslim believer, therefore, is a complete submission to God,
"whom one does not question" but whom one knows according to his
(Qur'anic) word to be a fair judge, at once formidable and benevolent, and the
supreme help.
The dictionary meaning for the term God and Allah is:

God noun 1 [without article] (in Christianity and other monotheistic
religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral
authority; the Supreme Being.
2 (god) (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit
worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity: a moon
god| an incarnation of the god Vishnu. an image, idol, animal, or other object
worshipped as divine or symbolizing a god. used as a conventional
personification of fate: he dialled the number and, the gods relenting, got
through at once.
3 (god) an adored, admired, or influential person: he has little time for
the fashion victims for whom he is a god. a thing accorded the supreme
importance appropriate to a god: don't make money your god.
4 (the gods) informal: the gallery in a theatre. the people sitting in this
area. exclamation used to express a range of emotions such as surprise, anger,
and distress: God, what did I do to deserve this?| my God! Why didn't you tell
us sooner? to give emphasis to a statement or declaration: God, how I hate
that woman!
As a Muslim, a believer should be calling God as Allah. A unique name to
One and Only one true God is Allah.
Allah the name of God among Muslims (and Arab Christians). -ORIGIN
from Arabic 'allah, contraction ofal-'ilah 'the god'.
Let us get this meaning from the god itself in His own words:
Verily I am Allah: There is no God but I, so serve thou me, and establish
regular prayer for celebrating my praise.
In English language we use a word called GOD, it is used for a male
gender god, the opposite gender word called Goddess, But the Islamic term for
God is ALLAH, This word is a unique and particularly used for the GOD in Islam,
the point is Allah is all alone, there is no one to share His attribute and

anything from Him. Allah the almighty God, has said these unique words,
towards one of his selected messenger called Musa (Moses), Musa and his wife
are passing through a valley. Read the following sentences with attention:
When he saw a fire and said unto his family: indeed! Wait! I see
a fire afar off. Perhaps I may get you some fire from there or may find
guidance at the fire. And when he reached it, he was called by name:
O Musa! Without a doubt! I, even I, am your Lord, so take off your
shoes, for Indeed you are in the valley of Tuwa. And I have chosen you,
so listen unto that which is inspired to you.
Now, come back to me, let me tell you in detail about these above
sentences, Musa, is a one of the selected personality by the almighty Allah todeliver his message to Mankind. This event occurs to him before the moment
he is assigned for the job as a messenger by the almighty Allah. On the
mountain of valley Tuwa, Musa went towards the tree from where he saw a
cool light is emerging upon a tree as he move towards that tree, the light step
aback, and then he is called by his name, O Musa. Without doubt, I am your
God for a while Musa thought it may be illusion or a thought passed to me by
Satan, but he rejected this thought by saying himself Now, This is my lord,
because my soul is absorbing the voice from every direction, it is coming from
almost from everywhere, not from one point. It cannot be of any particularperson; it should be the almighty Allah command. Remember the fact, if
youre talking to someone, you will move your head towards that person so
that with the help of your ear you can listen, but when almighty Allah voice is
heard to Musa, Every part of his soul is listening to it, and he is feeling the
voice is emerging from every direction.
Finally, Musa cannot resist and he asks a question like a curious man,
Where are you, my dear God. The answer came I am infront of you, I am
backside of you, I am on top of you, I am left side of you, I am at the rightside of you, and I am always with you.
Then the following sentence is delivered to Musa,
Verily I am Allah: There is no God but I, so serve thou me, and
establish regular prayer for celebrating my praise.

The word ALLAH is the word solely applies to the One and the Only God.
There is no one like Him, He is alone and He Himself has created everything
that our eye is capable of seeing and that which is not capable also. Everything
that is in our knowledge and that also that is not available in our knowledge.
Now, my dear friends, why we are proclaiming that Allah is the one and
only god? Let us answer this with another set of sentences:
Say: He is Allah, the One!
Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
He begetteth not nor was begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.
Read the above sentences again and again till you memorize them
forever. Try to search such type of sentences else where, it is impossible to find
other than the holy book Quran itself, the words of ALLAH.
The above sentences are unique attributes for the almighty Allah, a
simple but undisputed introduction to almighty Allah in His own words. The
simplest definition and a meaningful description of the supreme power thathold for the almighty Allah only.
He is Allah, the One! Consider this sentence, The One, it means,
unique and none is like Him, not in any form or not in any kind of thought also,
and Allah almighty is eternal, His presence is almost from eternity. Allah
almighty is independent of everyone, He never needs a companion, supporter
or a family or in need of any humanly desire because He is the creator of all the
creation and all there needs also.
The Word ALLAH, itself means, the creator of everything and from His
power everything get their origin. What ever creature that comes under your
knowledge circle or outside the circle of your knowledge, it is the Almighty
Allah who is the creator. Allah also means a true and only god that has to be
worship for all the reason without assigning any partner to Him.

Almighty Allah is the God where everyone spread their desire to get
granted and all the desire He alone is going to get it granted either at the
moment or after some time or even on the day of Judgement. If your pray is
been delayed in grant, then there is something that is kept it delay. Always
remember Allah is merciful towards His creatures.
Allah is never been attribute to anyone of the creature resemblance,
because He is so much distinct from His creature in all the aspect. Allah is a
unique and only one, In the whole there is no one like Him and not even any
body knowledge can get a slight thought about Him. How He look? Whether
He walks, Whether He sleep, Whether He get all the weakness that usually
occur to His creation. Never, Allah is all clear about these, He is never had any
disability or any kind of weakness. Allah is not a kind of creature, who need afather to beget Him, or He beget any one. Allah is pure and He is without
slightest and tiny impurity.
Allah has not created anybody like Himself. Hence there is none to get
compare with HIM.
Let us look at following sentences:
It is true; these words are not crafted by any human, but by the almighty
Allah Himself. Just read the following translation that give you that actual
sense of the term GOD, feel each and every word and concentrate on them
and wait till they talk to you and get you in the depth of their reach. Now look
at the translation of the above sentence.

Allah! there is no god save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither
slumber nor sleep over taketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the
heavens (sky) and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with
Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that
which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save
what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never
weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
Let me detailed the above sentences in very simple means so that these
kind of sentence should not ignored. They form the basis for understanding of
the Term GOD.
We know Allah, is Eternal, is forever Alive, Allah is away from sleep orslumber such things are features of creature not of the creator. Everything
belongs to Him, what ever you see in the universe, of course all of us and
almost our surrounding including our souls. There is none to question Him like
why you have done this to me, why not you do like this etc. Almighty Allah is all
aware from the beginning, till the end. Allah is aware of past, present and also
of future, Hence Allah had and has all the knowledge and from His knowledge
He will grant to those whom He will.
Allah throne include the Heavens and the earth, that is, it is ALLAH whocontrol every thing from stars, planets, mountains, oceans, river, all creatures,
living and non-living entities. A single leaf will fell on the ground with Allah
permission only. Allah is aware of every step a blank ant that walks in black
night on a black stone of a mountain. Hence what ever occur now, in future as
well as that has already happen in the past every bit by bit Almighty Allah is
aware and by His command and will it happen.
Now let us take a look at the following sentences:
Allah (Alone) originates the creations, then He will repeat it. Then to
Him you will be returned.
Creation of creatures is an easy job for the almighty Allah, and of course
after the end day, He is going to repeat it again. The entire creature will come
alive and they will get gather in one ground infront of their creator.

Look at the other sentence :
And invoke not any other god along with Allah, Everything will perish
save His Face. His is the Decision, and to Him you (all) shall be returned.
Almighty Allah commands here in this sentence that worship and call at
the times should be directed towards Allah alone. The creator is the only
eternal self and all the other creatures are going die, there is no escape for
them from the death. Every living being has to taste death without fail. The
decision maker of everyone faith is decided by the almighty Allah.
Say: Praise be to Allah, and peace on His servants whom He has
chosen (for His Message). (Who) is better? Allah or The false gods they
associate (with Him)?
In the above sentence (verse) a question is posed by the Almighty Allah,
towards His creations. After getting the clear message via His messenger the
chosen ones, still you doubt about Allah and associate other in worship beside
Him.
Read the very next sentence, and try to think and reply the question:

Is not He( better than your gods) who created the heavens (sky) and
the earth, and sends down for you water(rain) from the sky, whereby we
cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not your
ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any god beside Allah? Nay,
but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!
Allah is the creator of the unlimited and non-measurable sky ( according
to Islam, there are seven skies, one above another usually refer as heavens.)
There is no one to claim such kind authority over creation of earth and sky etc.
Along with the above observation, the forming of clouds, then flying to one
place and then thunder, lighting and finally rain that get the water down on
earth , as soon water pour down, garden of plants start growing, the growth of
a plant is also the grace of Almighty Allah.
Is not He (better than your gods) who has made the earth as a fixedabode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains
therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet
water)? Is there any god beside Allah, Nay, but most of them know not!
Without doubt there is no god but Allah, now it 1400 years already over
we came to know via holy book Quran that in a sea,[there are two kinds of
water available one salty and the other sweet water partition at the center.
The holy book Quran is the message revealed to the chosen messenger of
Almighty Allah prophet Muhammad(pbuh).] , in the oceans, in the river, in theponds, in the sea; water is poured via rains, there are sweet water and salt
water that are made separated with a barrier. It is almighty Allah who can
make separation in the sea between salt and sweet water. The flowing water,
and the cycle of water circulation- Sea, vapour, clouds, rain, river, and the sea
again. These are the challenges for the people who associate other gods with
Almighty Allah. No other can has such kind of challenges pose to anybody in
any kind form from their believed God.

Is not He(better than your gods) who responds to the distressed one,
when he calls on Him, and who relieves his suffering, and makes you
inheritors of the earth, generations and generations? Is there any god beside
Allah? Little is that you remember!
My dear friends, read again all the above sentences one by one till you
remember them. Look at the questions posed to you by the almighty Allah andtry to search the answer for each of the question. First of all it is impossible for
you to get such type of question from anyone, but so simple question and with
such a simple answer. Only the almighty Allah can ask such type of questions
because He Himself is the creator of all the things that are in your knowledge
and yet you wont recognize who is actual creator of all these things that also
include you as one of His creation.
Sky, earth, mountains, rivers, sea, oceans, ponds, clouds, rain, water, the
sky with its twinkling stars, sun, moon, day, night, plants, animals, Humans andeverything that comes under our limited knowledge and that has to be
discover yet. All these things require one creator, who can give a unique shape,
distinct features and wonderful behavior feature for each and every entity.
Who can be that creator? Only the one who creates it can tell us how He
created it or only the one who creates, can challenge other about His own

Finally, let me talk about the best of the creation of the creator, the Man
itself. What is the most amazing thing about human being you can considerand easily distinct from other creatures? Now let us concentrate on the next
sentence:
We have indeed created man in the best of moulds(stature).

Excellent sentence, of course the man is build in the best form,
symmetry, nature and constitution. There is no fault in Allahs creation. To
Man Allah gave the purest and the best nature, and mans duty is to preserve
the pattern on which Allah has made him.
Now compare yourself with almost all the other creature in each and
every aspect. Of course there are lot of difference you can point so that you
can distinct yourself from other creations of almighty Allah. For an instance
compare yourself with Fish in water, eagle in air, and elephant on land and
finally Man- He can fly in the air with the help of airplane, he can swim in the
water and he can walk on the land. Did you see an elephant flying in an
airplane, or a fish taking a walk on the land, a bird wearing clothes and walking
in street of your place. What makes a man so unique over all the creatures?Keep thinking till I came back to the same question again.
O Mankind, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then indeedwe have created you ( that is Adam the first MAN) from dust, then from a
Nutfah( a mixed drop of male and female sexual discharge, all the offspring
of Adam), then from a clot( a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a
little lump of flesh some formed and some unformed( as in the case of
miscarriage) that we may make( it) clear to you( that is to show you our
power and ability to do what we will). And we cause whom we will to remain
in the wombs for an appointed term, then we bring out as infants, then (give

you growth) that you many reach your age of full strength. And among you
there is he who dies(young), and among you there is he who is brought back
to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And
you see the earth barren, but when we send down water(rain) on it, it is
stirred(to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).
Still you doubt the existence of GOD, the Almighty Allah, in holy book
Quran it is already 1400 year old book, and we are coming to know all the
stages of development of human growth. At that time nobody knows, what
stages a human embryo has to undergo before a complete child comes out the
womb.
Read again the same sentence and find the beauty in it, only the creatorcan describe such a beautiful sketch of your life. At the last, a live example that
comes to your naked eye that is infront of you before rain the land is tough, no
sign of any living plant, but soon rain water pour over it, the next change is you
can watch small greenery over the land full with plants. A death land comes to
life and you can observe the way how the tree progress all the stages. The
development of human kid are within the womb of a womb, not possible to
see via naked eye hence another example is illustrated in the form of plants.
Consider the sentence, Miserable age, we can see with our own eyesand we can witness such kind of age in our own homes. Above verse or
sentence is enough for the wise to accept the presence of almighty Allah
everywhere, the eternal in all aspect.
The talk here is About GOD, the concept of God, in a sense we want to
understand the term God, who is god and what actually make a God- a god?
Such type of discussion is required and from the above sentences or verses,
we are providing you the explanation about these terms. In each verse there is
something that is been highlighted about Almighty Allah in term of His self andHis powerful attributes that are not to be found anywhere else beside Him
alone.
There are others verse that are unique and contributes many important
points regarding the term God. Let us explore them here one after another.
The following verse or sentence is very amazing just concentrate on the
process of sleep and death, try to understand the death and sleep terms:

It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die
not ( He takes) during their sleep. Those on whom He has passed the decree
of death, He keeps back(from returning to life), But the rest He sends(to their
bodies) for a term appointed. Indeed in this are signs for those who reflect.
Every human being is believed to have understanding of sleep and the
term death. The one difference between sleep and death is , a sleeping personwill wake up again but not a death person.
Sleep is essential thing for all the animals including Human, usually in
sleep a person looses his control over his body and all the activities of his body
comes under rest. Dreams are the other things that are always associated with
sleep, the mechanism of dream process is also a topic of much concerns
specially when you talk about spiritually and philosophy.
According to Holy book Quran, During Sleep, the human soul get freeitself from the point of its stay in the body. And move upwards towards its
creator place from where it has came into the body, what ever it see their it
will happen in reality as future tense, as it was seen there, while returning
back if it may get diverted by the intervention of Evil then those things that
they show and talk is not going to come true. Hence a dream can be defined
as the journey of soul that usually occurs while the body takes rest in the form
of sleep.
There are some lucky souls that are return back from the journey totheir respective destination in the body of a person and some are held back as
a result of expiration of their duration.
The soul is associated to its body with some kind of connection, when
you try to awake the body that is in deep sleep, will come back to sense in a
while, this is happen with the help of this connection. As soon as the

connection is disabled between the body and soul, then the body and the soul
are disconnected forever.
The term soul, dream, death and body are in a way connected to the life
cycle of human being. The relation between the sleep and death establishes in
the above sentence is very peculiar to their concept, there is more to discuss
about it. Inshallah we talk to it in some other book. The above terms are very
much mystery for every one hence the sentence says that is such a
understandable approach nobody can reject it. It is the Almighty Allah who is
creator of such entities.
Next sentences are unique for the almighty Allah alone; get inside them
with complete devotion.

It is the words of the almighty Allah, the true god, read these words,
they are so lively, and they touch the pure heart as soon as it read them. For
human being there are two main focal points, first Life and the last is death, in
between comes everything that get them from birth to all the stages of their
life, they grow from day one till they reach old age and at the end they taste
Death. Both the life and death are in the hand of almighty Allah, Once the male
and female come together, the baby who will get into the world will get his life
from the almighty after he spend his complete allotted time. In between the
allotted time the human will be tested by the almighty Allah and watch over
for the kind of deeds that are done by the human. Then almighty Allah will
send his death him.
The next verse is a wonderful study of nature, usually ignore by the
human observation. Almost all the flying birds, how beautifully, fearlessly they
fly over our head in the sky. How amazing it is to watch them flying, so light in
weight facing the air current and balancing against such a force is a real
surprise fact.
As a creator of all the creatures including human being, almighty Allah
has gifted us the power of seeing, hearing, sensing and wisdom to judge and
identify each and everything that we get encounter with.
The process of birth and death will continue till the end, once the last
day of Judgement comes, when all the creation are leveled by death, almighty
Allah will gather all the creation and then He will take account of each andevery individual Human being that has taken birth.
It Almighty Allah that will create a complete human being from a single
drop of sperm, then He shape the human in the womb of a woman and let him

Light is Allah. We can only think of Allah in terms of our phenomenal
experience, and in the phenomenal world, light is the purest thing we know,
but physical light has drawbacks incidental to its physical nature: eg. (1) it is
dependent upon some source external to itself; (2) it is a passing phenomenon;
if we take it to be a form of motion or energy it is unstable, like all physical
phenomena; (3) it is dependent on space and time; its speed is 186,000 miles
per second, and there are stars whose light takes thousands of years before it
reaches the earth. The perfect Light of Allah is free from any such defects. The
first three points in the Parable center round the symbols of the Niche, the
Lamp, and the Glass. (1) The Niche (Mishkat) is the little shallow recess in the
wall of an Eastern house, fairly high from the ground, in which a light (before
the days of electricity) was usually placed. Its height enabled it to diffuse the
light in the room and minimised the shadows. The background of the wall andthe sides of the niche helped to throw the light well into the room, and if the
wall was white-washed, it also acted as a reflector: the opening in front made
the way for the light. So with the spiritual Light; it is placed high, above worldly
things; it has a niche or habitation of its own, in Revelation and other Signs of
Allah; its access to men is by a special Way, open to all, yet closed to those who
refuse its rays. (2) The Lamp is the core of the spiritual Truth, which is the real
illumination; the Niche is nothing without it; the Niche is actually made for it.
(3) The Glass is the transparent medium through which the Light passes. On
the one hand, it protects the light from moths and other forms of low life andfrom gusts of wind, and on the other, it transmits the fight through a medium
which is made up of and akin to the grosser substances of the earth (such as
sand, soda, potash, etc.), so arranged as to admit the subtle to the gross by its
transparency. So the spiritual Truth has to be filtered through human language
or human intelligence to make it intelligible to mankind. The glass by itself
does not shine. But when the light comes into it, it shines like a brilliant star. So
men of God, who preach Allah's Truth, are themselves illuminated by Allah's
light and become the illuminating media through which that Light spreads and
permeates human life. The olive tree is not a very impressive tree in itsoutward appearance. Its leaves have a dull greenish-brown colour, and in size
it is inconspicuous. But its oil is used in sacred ceremonies and forms a
wholesome ingredient of food. The fruit has a specially fine flavour. This Olive
is not localised. It is neither of the East nor of the West. It is universal, for such
is Allah's Light. As applied to the olive, there is also a more literal meaning,
which can be allegorised in a different way. An olive tree with an eastern
aspect gets only the rays of the morning sun; one with a western aspect, only

the rays of the western sun. In the northern hemisphere the south aspect will
give the sun's rays a great part of the day, while a north aspect will shut them
out altogether, and vice versa in the southern hemisphere. But a tree in the
open plain or on a hill will get perpetual sunshine by day; it will be more
mature, and the fruit and oil will be of superior quality. So Allah's light is not
localised or immature: it is perfect and universal. Pure olive oil is beautiful in
colour, consistency, and illuminating power. The world has tried all kinds of
illuminants, and for economic reasons or convenience, one replaces another.
But for coolness, comfort to the eyes, and steadiness, vegetable oils are
superior to electricity, mineral oils, and animal oils. And among vegetable oils,
olive oil takes a high place and deserves its sacred associations. Its purity is
almost like light itself: you may suppose it to be almost light before it is lit. So
with spiritual Truth: it illuminates the mind and understanding imperceptibly,almost before the human mind and heart have been consciously touched by it.
Glorious, illimitable Light, which cannot be described or measured. And there
are grades and grades of it, passing transcendently into regions of spiritual
height, which man's imagination can scarcely conceive of. The topmost
pinnacle is the true prototypal Light, the real Light, of which all others were
reflections, the Light of Allah.]

Yousuf Ali the translator of Holy Quran.
Now Let me conclude the concept of GOD
, in the following page all the
view are going to be a clear point of view, Here God is usually refer for the
Almighty Allah only, There is no comparison to the almighty Allah by any other
god.
Consider the following articles taken from one of the book related to the
Existence of God and the concept of spirit. Read the article concentrate on the
term and meaning with the existence keyword so that we can understand the
importance of God and spirit.The existence of God
Perhaps the most celebrated issue in classical metaphysics concerned
the existence of God. God in this connection is the name of "the perfect
Being" or "the most real of all things"; the question is whether it is necessary
to recognize the existence of such a being as well as of things that either are or
might be objects of everyday experience. A number of famous arguments have

Page 26 of 49
been advanced from the time of the Greeks in favour of the thesis that such
recognition is necessary. The neatest and most ingenious was the a priori
argument of St. Anselm in the 11th century, who said that "that than which
nothing greater can be conceived" must exist in fact as well as in thought, for if
it existed only in thought and not in fact, something greater than it could be
conceived, namely the same thing existing in fact. God necessarily exists,
because the idea ofGod is the idea of that than which nothing greater can be
conceived. This is the argument later known as the ontological proof. Relatively
few philosophical theologians, either in the middle Ages or later, could bring
themselves to accept this bold piece of reasoning (although Descartes,
Spinoza, Leibniz, and Hegel all accepted it in principle); most preferred to
ground their case for God's existence on premises that claimed to be empirical.
Thus, St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the most influential Scholastic philosopher,in the 13th century argued that to explain the fact of motion in the world, the
existence of a prime mover must be presupposed; that to account for
contingent or dependent being the existence of something that is necessary or
self-contained must be presumed; that to see why the world is orderly and
why the different things in it fit together harmoniously, a situation that might
not have obtained, a Creator who fashioned it on these lines must be
postulated--adding in each case "and this all men call God'." These are versions
of the first cause argument and the argument from design, which were to
figure prominently in the thinking of later theistically inclined metaphysicians.
The first cause argument should, perhaps, be examined in somewhat
greater detail, because it both has an immediate plausibility and lies at the
basis of many different kinds of metaphysical systems (that of Hegel, for
example, as well as that of Aquinas). The argument begins with the innocent-
looking statement that something contingent exists; it may be some particular
thing, such as oneself, or it may be the world in general (thus, the description
of the proof as being a contingentia mundi, or "from the contingency of the
world"). In describing oneself or the world as contingent, one means only that
the thing in question does not exist through itself alone; it owes its being to
the activity of some other thing, as a person owes his being to his parents.
Contingent things are not self-complete; they each demand the existence of
something else if they are to be explained. Thus, the move is made from
contingent to necessary being; it is felt that contingent things, of whatever
order, cannot be endlessly dependent on other contingent things but must
presuppose a first cause that is self-complete and so exists necessarily. In

Page 27 of 49
Hegel the necessary being is not a separate existent but, as it were, an order of
things; the loose facts of everyday life and even of science are said to point to
a system that is all-embracing and in which everything is necessarily what it is.
The principle of the argument, however, is unchanged despite the change in
the conclusion.
Damaging criticism was brought against all the traditional arguments for
God's existence by Hume and Kant in the 18th century. The ontological proof
was undermined by the contention that "being is not a real predicate";
existence is not part of the concept ofGod in the way in which, for example,
being all-powerful is. To say that something exists is not to specify a concept
further but to claim that it has an instance; it cannot be discovered whether a
concept has an instance by merely inspecting it. The first cause argument, it
was contended, suffers from two fatal weaknesses. Even if it is correct in its
assertion that contingent being presupposes necessary being, it cannot identify
the necessary being in question with God (as happened in each of the
Thomistic proofs) without resurrecting the ontological argument. If it is true, as
supporters of the causal proof suppose, that God alone can answer the
description of a necessary being, then whatever exists necessarily is God and
whatever is God exists necessarily. Modern supporters of the causal proof
have tried to meet this objection by saying that the equivalence is one of
concepts, not of concept and existent; the existence of a necessary being is
already established in the first part of the argument, and the equivalence in
the second part of the argument is between the concept of necessary being
and the concept ofGod. In other words, they distinguish between existence
and essence. In the first part of the argument, the existence of a necessary
being is proved; in the second part of the argument, the essence of that
necessary being is identified with what men call God. Beyond this first
contended weakness, however, there are grave difficulties in the move from
contingent to necessary existence. Things in the experienced world are causally
related, and some account of this relationship can be given in terms of the
temporal relations of events; causal relations hold primarily between kinds of
events, and a cause is, at least, a regular antecedent of a specific kind of effect.
But when an attempt is made to extend the notion of causality from a
relationship that holds within experience to one that connects the experienced
world as a whole to something that falls wholly outside it, there is no longer
anything firm on which to hold. The activities of God cannot precede
happenings in the world because God is, by definition, not in time; and how

Page 28 of 49
the relationship is to be understood in these circumstances becomes highly
problematic. Some metaphysicians, like some recent theologians, seek to
evade the difficulty by saying that God is not the cause of the world but its
ground, or again by distinguishing causes of becoming, which are temporal,
from a cause of being, which is not. It is doubtful whether these moves do
more than restate the problem in different terms.
The argument from design is itself a form of causal argument and
accordingly suffers from all the difficulties mentioned above, together with
some of its own, as Hume and Kant both point out. Even on its own terms it is
wrong to conclude the existence of a Creator rather than an architect.
Furthermore, it infers that the being in question has unlimited powers, when
all that the evidence seems to warrant is that its powers are very great. The
argument lost much of its force by the publication of the English naturalist
Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. The unbroken reign of law
throughout natural evolution is impressive, but as a line of reasoning it does
not seem to bear close examination.
The metaphysical problem ofGod's existence is more of an issue today
than the problem of universals; there are still thinkers who hope to restate the
old proofs in more convincing ways. The ontological proof, in particular, has
won renewed attention from thinkers such as Norman Malcolm, a philosopher
strongly influenced by Wittgenstein, and Charles Hartshorne, an American
Realist whose form of theism is called panentheism (the doctrine of a God who
has an unchanging essence but who completes himself in an advancing
experience). Increasingly, however, philosophers of religion are preoccupied
not with these metaphysical abstractions but with the status and force of
actual religious claims. "The most real of all things" is no longer at the centre of
their attention: they seek to investigate God as a suitable object for worship.
The conception of spirit
As well as arguing for the separate existence of mental substance,
metaphysicians have claimed that mind is, as it were, the key to the
understanding of the universe. What exists is spirit, or at least is penetrated by
spirit. This is the thesis of Idealism, a type of philosophy that is often derided
but that, like its rival Materialism, has a constantly fresh appeal. This view is
worth examining in more detail than has so far been possible.

Page 29 of 49
It is best to begin by distinguishing the thesis of Idealism proper from
some others with which it is readily confused. Leibniz said that the true atoms
of nature were monads or souls; at bottom nothing existed except minds.
Berkeley claimed that sensible things have no existence without the mind;
there are spirits that experience, including an infinite spirit, and there are the
contents of their experiences, but there is no independently existing world of
matter. For the philosophers who followed Hegel, both Leibniz and Berkeley
were "subjective" Idealists: they conceived of reality in terms of the
experiences of individual minds. Hegel's view, by contrast, was that what exists
is not so much pure mind as mind writ large; i.e., the universe is penetrated by
mind and exists for the sake of mind, and it cannot be understood unless this
fact is grasped. Hegel was thus not committed to denying that there is an
independent world of nature but, on the contrary, openly proclaimed it.Nature was there for mind to master it and in so doing to discover itself.
The field in which Hegel first worked out this theory was that of human
affairs. The human world may be said to be mind made objective because it
consists of a series of structures--examples would be a language, a set of moral
or political procedures, a science, a practical art such as medicine--that
constitute mental achievements. The mind involved in structures of this kind,
however, is collective rather than personal. An art such as medicine or a
science such as mathematics is not the invention of any particular individual;
and although individuals have contributed and are contributing to the
advancement of each structure, they do so not in their personal capacity but as
embodying impersonal intelligence.
Because the human world thus embodies mind, or spirit, it needs to be
understood in a special way--in terms of what Hegel called "concrete
universals." Concepts of this kind are in order when it is a question of grasping
a particular sort of subject matter--one in which there are intimate
connections between the data under consideration. Connections in nature are,
on the surface at any rate, of a purely external character; striking a match, for
example, has nothing internally to do with producing a flame. When, however,
a historian considers the different stages of some movement or process, or
when an anthropologist studies the various aspects of the life of a society, the
material they confront is internally related just because it represents the work
of mind--not, of course, of mind working in a vacuum but of mind facing and
reacting with greater or less intelligence to particular situations. It is not
surprising in these circumstances to find that the conceptual structure

employed by the student of human affairs is, in important respects, profoundly
different from that employed by the student of nature. In the latter, what are
in question are constant conjunctions, observed but not understood; in the
former, men have insight into what happens or obtains because they can
reenact in their own minds the thought behind the material they study.
All this is, or should be, comparatively uncontroversial; it represents the
truth behind the claim of Wilhelm Dilthey, a German philosopher and historian
of ideas, that human affairs can be understood, as it were, from within, by
means of what he called Verstehen ("understanding"). But of course it is one
thing to say this and another altogether to argue that the universe at large
should be construed as if it were mind writ large. What makes Hegelianism
intriguing to some and totally implausible to others is precisely that it makes
this extravagant claim. As has already been mentioned, the world of nature for
Hegel is in one way independent of mind: its being is certainly not its being
perceived. It is, nevertheless, relevant to mind in all sorts of important ways: in
providing a setting in which mind can act, in constituting an obstacle that mind
can overcome, in presenting mind with something seemingly alien in which it
can nevertheless find itself insofar as it discovers nature to be intelligible. If
Hegel were asked why there was a world of nature at all, his answer would be
"for the sake of mind." Just as man's social environment affords opportunities
to the individual to come to full knowledge of himself by realizing his
differences from and dependence upon others, so the world of nature affords
similar opportunities. By transforming the natural scene, men make it their
own. In so doing they come to know what they can do, and thus what they are.
There is, perhaps, more to this doctrine than appears at first sight. It is,
however, easier to assent to it in general terms than to follow Hegel over it in
detail. According to the Idealist account, there is in the end only one true
description of the universe, namely that which is couched in terms of the
concrete universal. Reality is a single self-differentiating system, all the parts of
which are intimately connected; it is spirit that expresses itself in the natural
and human worlds and comes to consciousness of itself in so doing. Any other
account of the matter--for example, that given by the scientist in terms of
experienced uniformities--must be dismissed as inadequate. To Hume's
objection that there is an absolute logical difference between propositions
expressing matters of fact and existence and propositions expressing relations
of ideas, Hegel replies brusquely that the distinction is untenable. At a certain
level, perhaps, facts are taken as "brute." Even the scientist, however, never

abandons his aspiration to understand them--it is only provisionally that he
talks in terms of "ultimate inexplicabilities"--and the philosopher knows that
the demand to incorporate all knowledge in a single system is not to be
denied. It is a demand that, as Hegelians are willing to admit, can in practice
never be met but that, nonetheless, ceaselessly makes itself felt. That such is
the case is shown by the extraordinary fascination exercised by this strange but
remarkable type of philosophy.
To try to understand the universe in terms of spirit is characteristic of
philosophers whose main extra-philosophical interests are in the humanities,
particularly in historical studies. Relatively few scientifically minded thinkers
have followed this line of thought, and many Idealists of repute, including
Bradley and Benedetto Croce (an Italian philosopher and literary critic whose
major philosophical work was published in four volumes between 1902 and
1917 under the general title La filosofia dello spirito ("The Philosophy of the
Spirit"), have been least convincing when writing about science. Hegel himself,
perhaps, had less sympathy with scientific than with historical aspirations; this
is not to say, however, that he was ill-informed about contemporary science.
He knew what was going on, but he saw it all from his own point of view, the
point of view of one who was entirely convinced that science could not
produce any ultimate answers. He valued science but rejected the scientific
view of the world.
My dear reader, the concept of God and the Spirit is important if you
consider the issue of Life and Death as the actual part of serious objective. Let
me make it clear about my thoughts according to Islam as a religion.
The modern world always rejects the existence of God, concept of spirit
and other matters that are usually hidden by the naked eye. The belief
if you see with your two eyes then only you can believe is the quote for themodern world. Every one knows, every event that occurs is going to happen
because there is some energy that supports that event to occur. Consider a
short story in some part of the world. A king of some place saw a group of
visitor from a place who oppose the idea of God and world of hereafter. They
came and said to the king, we are here to make a debate about Existence of
God and the other ideas that are usually highlighted by Muslim followers. Call
for your learned people so that we can defeat them with our modern Science

and theories. King agreed and call upon one of his learned man to come and
debate with the visitor who claim that There is no such thing as God, Angels,
Creator, Creations, After Death again one life, rewards and punishment,
heaven and hell etc. so come tomorrow on the particular time slot and give
them the truth answer and convinced them about the fact that Almighty Allah
is the real creator and true God.
Next day, the visitor and king kept waiting for the learned man to arrive
to the court hall so that they can start the debate, but there is no sign of the
learned man at the moment. The visitor started to make fun of him and said to
the king, look dear king your learned man does not have much knowledge to
debate with us on the topics like Existence of God, and others. So it is better
for you to reject all the false beliefs about god and other entities. King ask his
ministers to search the learned man, meanwhile the learned man enter the
court, as soon:
The king saw learned man and asked in curiosity Where are you been?
We are waiting for you since one hour.
My dear King! said the learned man I am sorry for coming late, when
I came near the river, there Is no ship to cross the river, hence I was waiting for
the ship to arrive. But it wont turn back
Did you swim and came here all that much distance of river ask the
king in surprise tone so much distance, It is impossible to cross the river at
your age.
No, my king, I cannot swim said the learned man if you allow me I will
tell you the miracle that occur to me near the shore!
What kind of miracle? jokingly asked the visitor Let us also hear about
a miracle
Go ahead said the king tell to us about it
I am waiting near the shore for the ship. Said the learned man it is
getting delayed, I keep praying to the almighty Allah to help me cross the river.
All of a sudden what happen is a big tree fell on the ground from its place, and
it started to cut into pieces and slices. I keep seeing it with my own two eyes,
they are taking the shape of Ship and finally came on the river and it faces me,

so that I can board over it and cross the river. Hence I sat on the ship and cross
the river and enter the court and now standing infront of you.
All the visitor started to laugh loudly and making fun at the story of the
learned man. When they clam down, the learned man asks the visitor, Dont
you believe this fact that happen with me.
It is impossible to believe said the visitor smiling at the learned man
Not even a child will believe on such type of story. Can you believe a tree fell
down itself, then it will cut into pieces one by one and then it assemble into a
shape of a ship and it will go into the river by itself and then It will allow you to
board over it and then without a driver, it will cross the river. Only fools can
believe your story learned man.
So you agree a ship cannot be made like a miracle as I said question
the learned man is it impossible, or any possibility to occur such type of
incident.
No, not at all said the visitor it is impossible to believe such type
event to occur without any person who can process such possible events one
after other. Other wise it is a short of fairy tale usually they are illusion.
Well, my dear king said the learned man our friend does not believeon what I just said to him about miracle and ship building events one after
another. I had one question for him. The whole universe, stars, sun, moon,
birds, animals, humans, every things that comes under our knowledge happen
to come all of a sudden, like the ship that get constructed itself without any
body crafting it or creating it. Look at your body; consider building one single
hair of your head. Your eyes, nose, teeth, lips, heart, hands, bones, flesh,
blood, every things that are available in your body are just came into existence
without any body creating them. A tree grows out from one seed, and then it
grow up and bear more seeds, it has many branches of leaves and on themcomes birds that build their nest and grow their babies, all these activities
cannot be executed by themselves, there should be one who could create all
such event with its power, else it is not going to be believed that all thing can
happen by themselves. Like a ship cannot be build by itself.
What actually you intend to tell us? asked the visitor leader be clear
yourself to us

My dear friend said the learned man if you look at your self from the
top till the bottom, you will discover so many things that are still unclear to
you, consider for instance, if you stand in the mirror, you will see your
reflection along with the surrounding, in exact position just infront of you, if
you move two steps behind from the current position, you will observe with
respect to mirror it is only you who keep moving but the surrounding remain in
their original position. Now understand the mechanism of Eye functioning and
the mirror functioning. Mirror is not just reflecting you also surrounding of
your environment. The eye is an instrument for the power called vision, it is
used to visualize every thing that come into the scope of its vision. There are so
many mini organisms that are not visible to naked eye but you can view them
with the help of microscope. Like these facts proved us there is an existence of
the Almighty God, which is not in the scope range of our eye to visualize Him.The creator of all the things is very much visible by its creations including you
and me.
For Every event that occur in the universe there should be one almighty
that could command it to get it done, other wise there will be no event. The
five senses that are common to all of us are the powers that are gifted by the
Almighty God, it is not happen or gain by the environment, almost all the
human being from any corner of the world have all the five senses that means,
all the human beings have same features no matter from where they belong
and from which environment they belong. If there outer skin colour may differ
in one environment to other, no matter but the colour of their blood remain to
its original colour red.
Almighty God presence is felt in every breathe you intake and you
release, it is the gifted mechanism of respiration, digestion, reproduction and
every thing, life, death and all the event that occur in you life since birth till the
day come when you release your last breathe.
I agree with your thoughts said the visitor let me discuss it my fellowsand then we conclude it among us, now we take the leave
Here let me read you, the following verse of holy book Quran, think
about these words and try to answer them in positive way, the sentence is:

How can ye reject the faith in Allah? seeing that you were without
life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring
you to life; and again to Him will ye return.
There is no way left for you to reject the faith in Almighty Allah, Is there
any particular reason for the rejection in acceptance of the the true God, the
Almighty Allah. The true god, every one can understand that before you born
no one know where you are, how you look and what you are going to become
in future, but it is mercy of Almighty Allah. It is the Allah, who has given you alife, then for the allotted time you will spend your life in this world, and then
finally on the committed day and time, you are going to say final goodbye and
you are a death body. After the Doom day, at the day of Judgement you are
arise again for the account of each and every activity and on the basis you are
allotted a place in paradise or hell.
The need for knowing your creator is much of the concern than other
issue, to know the creator it is important to know self also. Let me discuss with
the mercy of Allah the almighty as much as possible because the subject is veryvast as compare to other topic of Islam, it the blessing and mercy of Allah the
almighty that you are reading the pages regarding the discussion of Almighty
Allah Himself.
It is advice to the reader, if you dont have the basic knowledge of
Traditions of prophet Muhammad (pbuh), while reading these article associate
yourself with a person who can guide you on some topics that arise you doubt.
Next sentence will help us more to understand about the real true andonly one God almighty Allah.
Read the following sentence, in the bracket I kept the original translation
also, read it again and again and make sure you remember this sentence
before thinking something else about the almighty Allah in comparison with
any other God.

(He is) the Creator of the heavens and the earth: He has made for you
pairs from among yourselves and pairs among cattle: by this means does He
multiply you: Nothing is Similar to Him (there is nothing whatever like unto Him) and
He is the One that hears and sees (all things).
A god should be like this, No one can even imagine, about its shape,
body etc. the reason is simple, If we start comparing god with human like
body, then we can imagine Him in the form of a Man with two eyes, a nose,teeth, lips, hands, feets, and of course all parts. If resemble with human, then
Human like features should be there, again if human, why other human are not
god? Such type of question leads towards existence of god and finally every
human is a god in one respect or other. All these type of questions (May
Almighty Allah forgive us on such type of question and thoughts) keep arising
and finally one should believe in god because ones elders believe in God so we
are following the steps of our elders. Else reject the existence of god itself.
Rejection is also not possible because of so many evidences that prove the
existence of god. Hence search or quest for the Real GOD.
From the sentence or verse it is clear that Nothing is similar to Him. By
reading this sentence, all such arise question vanished on the spot. No
imagination, no questions only peace of mind else Have a question then get
the answer.
It is conform that the existence of god is always there and His presence
is felt in every corner of Imagination and reality, the Almighty Allah is Eternal,
with no End, Visible via His power and Capabilities and Invisible for the eyes.
His existence is before any thing that is living and non-living. He has created
everything.
Now! Let me take you to our next sentence or verse, there are totally
three verse that I am going to discuss here, they are so unique to their nature
because they give a good sketch about Almighty Allah, as usual I ask you to
read them carefully and try to understand it. The sentences are:
