How To Know Allah,The Great Creator
We should know that our lord who created us out of naught and sustained us with His bounties,is Allah the Lord of the worlds.The wise believers in Allah did not see Him,but they knew Him via clear evidences showing His Existence and proving that He is the Creator and the Sustainer of all creatures.
Some of these evidences are:
1.The universe,mankind and life are all created objects,with a limited scope of existence. Every incidental and dependant object is created and,thus,must have a creator. This Great Creator is Allah,Who informed us through the books which He revealed to His messengers that He is the Originator and the Sustainer of all creatures.The role of His messengers was to convey Allah's words to mankind and call the people to believe in Allah and worship Him alone.Allah stated in the Quran:
(Your Guardian - Sustainer is Allah , Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then He Settled Himself on the Throne . He draweth the night as a veil over the day in rapid succession the sun , the moon , and the stars are all made subservient by His command . Lo ! for Him is to create and govern , blessed is Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds .
Through this verse Allah informs mankind that He is their Lord , Who created them , the earth and heavens in six days and that He is firmly established Himself upon His Throne . The Throne is elevated over the heavens . It is the most colossal and greatest thing thst Allah had created . He, Glory be to Him, encompasses all His creatures by His knowledge and Will . None of their affairs is hidden from Him . Allah also stated that He makes the day to cover the night which follows it in haste, and He created the sun , the moon, and the stars and made them subservient and revolving in their orbits by His command . Allah informs us that to Him Alone belongs the creation and sovereignty and that He is th Supreme, Transcendent and all-perfect in Himself and His Attributes, greatly Bountiful, and that He is the lord of the worlds, who created mankind out of naught, and sustains them with His bounties .Allah states in the Quran:
<<Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon . Adore not the sun and the moon , but adore Allah, who created them, if it is Him you wish to serve.>>
In this verse Allah informs us that the day, the night , the sun and the moon are some of His signs. Allah interdicts peopel from prostrating to the sun or to the moon as they are created objects like other creatures. Allah Alone should be worshipped. Since prostration is a kind of worship, thus, it should be for Allah Alone, because He is the Creator, the Sustainer and the Only True God Who deserves to be worshipped.
2. The creation of male and female .
3. The variety of tongues and hues in mankind . Two persons never identical in colour, voice,.....etc. On the contrary , they are quite distinct from each other in one or more of their features or characteristics.
4.Differences of fortunes in life is an evidence of the existence of Allah , the Creator . Although all men are endowed with intellect, knowledge and incentives of competition among each other to gain welth, acquire dignity or enjoy the favour of having a beautiful wife, they are clearly different in their fortunes. No one has a portion more than that which Allah has assigned to him. The underlying reason for such divergence in fortunes is that Allah tests people, and makes them help and serve each other for the benefit of the whole mankind. Whosever is unfortunate in this life , but persists believing firmly in Allah, will be rewarded in the Hereafter, and his portion of bliss will be increased in the Gardens. Yet, poor people, even in this worldly-life, are endowed generally with a great number of psychlogical and health privileges of which quite a number of the rich are deprived .
5. Sleep .
6. The soul whose nature is unknown to anyone except Allah.
7. The creation of the human being, his senses, his nervous system, his intellect, and digestive system, ...etc .
8. The rain which Allah sends down to revive the dead earth and brings forth plants of every kind and trees different in kind, colour and taste , ....etc . There are only a few of the hundreds of pieces of evidence which Allah The Almighty presented in the Quran. All these evidences prove that Allah is The living , The Creator and The Sustainer of all creatures.
9. people, by their natural and innate character, believe that they came to existence by the creation and sustenance of a Creator and Sustainer of all creatures. Whoever denies this innate nature is going astray and throwing himself into distress .
