Basic Tenets of Islam - Part 2 of 8: Allah created everything according to a fixed decree, Allah has power over everything, Allah sees and knows everything, All beings are subjected to Allah.

Allah is the All-Knowing, All-Aware, and all beings are under His control. Allah is the absolute and infinite Creator of all beings, including Truth and time itself. He knows all events, past and future, and sustains all systems of the universe. His perfect Creation is destiny and nothing happens without His will. He is the sole Possessor of Power, and His Word is the Truth.

We must recognize Allah's infinite might and that He is the Maintainer of all things in Heaven and Earth. Allah is the source of all Truth, and all Beings are subjected to Him. He is omnipresent and omniscient, always watching and knowing all that we do. He created the heavens and the Earth in six days and has the power to bring the dead to life.

His Might is demonstrated by the elaborate processes taking place in the bodies of living things, like the kidney cells which can filter and eliminate molecules that a giant haemodialyser would be needed for. We are reminded to have no fear and to rely on Him for guidance and protection. Allah is the Creator and Ruler of all beings, including man and satan. He has given us examples of His power in the world, so that we may reflect on His truth. Allah has endowed satan with the ability and authority to call mankind to disbelief, but this is only for the purpose of testing us and distinguishing the righteous from the corrupt.

Ultimately, satan is under Allah's control, and is not a being possessing an independent will.
