AL- ‘ADHEEM
The All-Glorious
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and
He is the Most High, the All-Glorious . ( Surat ash-Shura, 42:4)
Allah's might and grandeur is surely beyond humanity's grasp. Yet, within the
limits of their wisdom, people can still see and grasp His might. Indeed, the
entire universe abounds with countless examples that indicate His greatness. A
closer look at our own planet will make people feel His sublimity.
The heavens carrying clouds that weigh many tons, mountains rising thousands of
meters in the air, oceans harboring millions of living beings, a lightening
flash and the noise of thunder following it, and billions of living beings that
have submitted to Allah—all of these and countless other details are clear
signs of Allah's existence.
To have a better grasp of our Lord's grandeur, let's move beyond the limits of
our world and think: We live in an unbounded space, the universe, which
contains billions of galaxies with countless billions of stars. We live in one
of these galaxies on a planet called Earth, which rotates about its axis at a
velocity of about 1.670 kilometers an hour. Just thinking on these vast figures
make us realize that our existence in the universe is as insignificant as the
existence of a dust particle on Earth.
As this example also reveals, people given to sincere contemplation can grasp
the majesty of their Lord, Who creates billions of galaxies and holds all of
them in His hand. In one verse, Allah informs us about His beautiful names:
Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the
Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither
slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His
Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and
what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass
anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His KursĂ® extends over
the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving
them. And He is the Most High, the All-Glorious. [This Verse 2:255 is called
Ayat-ul-KursĂ®.] ( Surat al-Baqara, 2:255)
"…And whoever fears Allaah – He will make for him a way out – And will provide
for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allaah – then He
is sufficient for him. Indeed Allaah will accomplish His purpose. Allaah has
already set for everything a [decreed] extent." [At-Talaaq: 2-3]
