Allah is the Creator of the universe and all of its contents. It is also necessary to understand that He is the Controller of all things, and that nothing can happen without His Will. Allah is the one true God, and He alone has the power to create and control all things. He is not subject to any weaknesses or imperfections, and He is the originator of the heavens and the Earth. The Quran is the only book revealed by Allah to have survived intact, and it reveals the false beliefs about Allah which have been adopted by the adherents of other divine books.
The Qur'an also explains the correct beliefs about Allah,and clarifies that He is the Creator and Controller of the universe, and nothing can happen without His will. Allah is the Owner of all things, exercising command over creation, near to man, and Most Merciful and Just. He has the Power to do anything, sees and hears all, and is the King of the Day of Judgment. Idolatry is ascribing associates to Allah, such as worshipping false gods, pursuing goals other than pleasing Allah, or loving a being more than Allah. Muslims believe that everything is created by Allah, and deviation from this is idolatry.
Allah does not forgive idolatry, and those who reflect on His Creation come to recognize His greatness. Allah is the Creator of the universe. He brings the Earth to life, and scatters creatures of every kind and varying winds. Muslims remember Allah and reflect on His Creation, recognizing His infinite power and knowledge.
The order of the universe and its details point to Allah's greatness. He has power over all things, and His knowledge encompasses even that which is unknown to us. He can create many other things, and has created billions of humans, each with their own unique set of eyes, fingerprints, and tissues. He also has the power to create many other beings and worlds which we cannot see.
All of these facts demonstrate Allah's magnificent Creation.
Allah's knowledge is infinite and beyond human comprehension. We can only come to know to the extent that Allah permits us. The Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace) referred to Allah's eternal power when he said that the seven heavens and the seven Earths are no more in Allah's Hand than a mustard seed. The Qur'an also explains Allah's infiniteness of knowledge.
No matter how hard we strive, we cannot grasp the extent of His knowledge because it is unlimited. Everything in the heavens and the Earth belongs to Him and He knows what is before them and what is behind them. We must remember that Allah is Almighty, All-Wise, and that He is the Self-Sustaining and Living, with no drowsiness or sleep.
