Knowing Our Lord (part 1)

Who created you?

Who gave you your hair and your eyes their color?

Who said how tall you would be and what color your skin would be?

And, Who created your mother, your father and your friends?

Who created mountains, trees, the sea, the Sun, and the Moon?

Who created cats and dogs, squirrels, giraffes, and the other creatures?

Most of you will all answer these questions in the same way:

“God created us and everything else.”

Of course, this is the right answer!

So, how well do you know Almighty God, the Creator of us and the whole universe?

God has revealed Himself to us in the Qu’ran.

 

 

GOD IS THE FIRST; HE EXISTED BEFORE EVERYTHING

“He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward. He has knowledge of all things.”

(Surat al-Hadid, 3)

The world we live in is part of a very big universe. Through history, people have wondered whether this huge universe had a beginning or not. In the 20^th century, it was proved that it had.

In 1929, a scientist by the name of Edwin Hubble observed that the universe was always expanding. Starting from this fact, scientists made an important deduction: if one went backwards in time, the universe would get smaller. And, a universe that was getting smaller would eventually become one single point. So, the universe came from the explosion of this tiny point.

But here, we have a great mystery. Explosions always damage things around them. An example of this is the eruption of a volcano. Such explosions destroy things in the area; they knock down houses and uproot trees.

The explosion that formed the universe was much more powerful than billions of volcanic explosions. But, unlike other explosions, this one formed the universe with a perfect order.

This shows that a Creator with infinite power fashioned it. And, this Creator with infinite power is Almighty God.

God created the explosion that gave birth to the universe and from this explosion, He established the perfect order that exists in it. Before living things, planets, and the whole universe were created, there was only God; He is the First.
