Allah Almighty and the Perfect Monotheism / Our Lord Realizes an Act/Event Through Different Ways
« Last post by Emre_1974tr on March 24, 2025, 07:18:39 PM »Surah Fatir
43. Arrogance in the land and plotting of evil – but evil plotting encloses only its own people. Then do they await except the way [established for] the former peoples? But you will never find in the way of Allah any change, and you will never find in the way of Allah any alteration.
Surah Al-Fath
22. If those who disbelieve had fought you, they would have turned their backs [in flight]. Then they would not find a protector or a helper.
23. [This is] the established way of Allah which has occurred before. And you will never find in the way of Allah any change.
"Allah's sunnah" mentioned in the verses is not the laws of the universe. When the related verses are considered in their entirety, it is clearly seen that what is mentioned is Allah's fundamental religious commands and practices.
Belief in the existence and oneness of Allah, the necessity of avoiding polytheism, etc., fundamental beliefs have been conveyed to all societies. Indeed, from the first human being onwards, our Lord has presented us with only and only Islam. Both the signs within us (given in creation) and the holy books always give the same divine fundamental information. The religion that came is the same, but sometimes different commands in its details have been in question for the purpose of testing or punishment. Like the prohibition of clawed animal meat or working on Saturday for some Jewish communities in the past... Or again, like the command to slaughter a cow for the community that worshiped the calf, or the prohibition of cutting down a certain she-camel brought to the denying Thamud people... But the fundamental beliefs and commands are always the same. Polytheism and denial are always the greatest sins, and actions that harm individual rights such as stealing are always forbidden.
Allah's religion is unchanging; throughout the adventure of servants in this universe, there has been only one divine religion (Islam). People have given baseless names to the name of Allah's religion (even changing their books), such as Christianity or Judaism in the past, but in reality, only Islam came to all of them, and all prophets were Muslims.
In contrast, the laws of the universe, that is, Allah's method of creation, can change, and very different examples can be exhibited. And the concept called "miracle," which is also described in the Quran, is generally acts-events realized outside of what the order of this universe allows us.
Going beyond the laws of the universe is already an event that only the Lord can do. Miracles-signs within the boundaries of the laws of the universe can also be realized by servants one day thanks to science and technology. But never, no servant can do anything outside the laws of physics. For this reason, it is these extraordinary events that primarily show that a miracle is not man-made but a universal sign realized by Allah.
The examples given by the verses, such as Adam's and Jesus' creation without "mother+father=birth," that is, without sexuality (sex) (giving life directly without ancestors), the resurrection of the dead, and Jesus giving life to shapes he made of clay, and Moses' staff turning into a snake, clearly prove that Allah truly possesses unlimited power and is not subject to the laws He has set.
What we call the law of the universe is actually our Lord's "way of doing things." Because we constantly witness Him doing it in the same way, we perceive it as something that happens automatically and is unchangeable. In contrast, with the miracles in these stories that He narrates in the verses, Allah is giving us the lesson, "Look, I am actually doing this, and if I wish, I can do it in the exact opposite way as well." And He repeatedly shows that He is not obliged to abide by any order or power, and that He is the One who created these orders.
Surah Al-Imran 49 And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], "Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [something] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
Surah Al-Ma'idah 110 [Mention] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Holy Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [something] like the form of a bird with My permission and you breathed into it and it became a bird with My permission; and you cured the leper and the blind with My permission; and you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."
As can be seen, again, just like in the creation of Adam, Jesus, and "people in the hereafter," the creation of birds and similar living things in the miracles of Prophet Jesus described in these verses is also extraordinary. In fact, it is directly from soil. Just as there is no question of derivation from another living thing, there is not even mother and father, that is, sexuality, in these special creations. It is repeatedly emphasized again in the Quran that the creation in the hereafter is also taking place in the same way. Especially if it is taken into consideration that the creation of the universe is also "from nothing," it can be better understood that Allah creates in various ways and that "the laws of physics we call order" cover only a certain area.
Surah Al-A'raf 107 So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a conspicuous serpent.
Surah Al-A'raf 117 And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
In the pantheistic philosophy's universe=god understanding, the laws of the universe are unfortunately thought to be divine, unchanging, sacred things, and some people unfortunately worship them. But in reality, the universe is also a servant created from nothing. And what we call the order of the universe can also be changed by Allah, who is again its realizer, and as presented in the verses, they have been changed from time to time.
Let's give another "proof":
Surah Al-Baqarah 259 Or [consider such an example as] he who passed by a town which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained [dead]?" He said, "I remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not spoiled. And look at your donkey. And We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We arrange them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent."
A similar miracle was also presented during the time of Moses:
Surah Al-Baqarah
72. And [remember] when you slew a man and disputed over it, but Allah was to bring out what you were concealing.
73. So We said, "Strike the slain man with part of it [i.e., the cow]." Thus does Allah bring the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you might reason.
The creation of the universe from nothing is already the most magnificent example of creation ex nihilo, a miracle.
[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
2-Surah Al-Baqarah 117
The creation of the first human being takes place from materials called soil and water, but since it did not come from a living thing, it is also outside the order (sexuality and birth). The situation is similar in some other examples I presented here. Furthermore, in the second creation for the hereafter universe (the Presence of the Lord), there is again the event of reviving people without sexuality and birth, that is, creating from soil.
29: 19 Have they not seen how ALLAH initiates creation, then repeats it? Surely, that is easy for ALLAH.
29: 20 Say, "Roam the earth and see how He initiated the creation." Thus will ALLAH initiate the final creation (in the hereafter). ALLAH is capable of doing all things.
Of course, in addition to these events that take place outside the laws of physics, there are also miracles realized within them. But as we said, these kinds of events can also be realized by people one day thanks to science and technology (and are being realized). Matter can be made invisible, diseases can be cured, non-flammable materials can be produced, rains can be made to fall (intervening in the weather), the sea can be split, etc... But going beyond the laws of the universe will never be realized by any servant through science or technology. They will never be able to create from nothing, they will not be able to turn a staff into a living animal. Only Allah can do these things, and for this reason, it is primarily these miracles (realized outside the laws of physics, outside the order) that reveal that the proof comes from Him.
Otherwise, if an advanced civilization presented technological events to a society that is lagging behind in science, this would also be understood as a miracle, and it would be expected of this primitive society to believe in what they said. No, the main miracles, that is, the proofs, are those realized outside the laws of physics. Already, one of the main reasons that obliges servants to believe in what the messengers brought is this (the other is that they present verses/books that are compatible with the verses within us). The timeless, that is, universal proofs/verses they brought can never be realized by any servant.
Seeing through these miracles that the Exalted Creator is not obliged to abide by a certain physical system enables us to fully perceive that He is the sole master with unshared, free will.
It should be noted again that these extraordinary developments/miracles are also actually part of Allah's plan. These things that are happening are His realization of an act in more than one way/method... Just as He applies different methods of animating, such as "creation from nothing," "direct creation from soil," "derivation from living things (birth)," "creating everyone from soil in the hereafter universe," He also uses many methods in revealing to people:
Surah Ash-Shura 51 And it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is the Most High, Most Wise.
These examples can be multiplied. Our Lord, who has unlimited power and free will, can realize one thing through unlimited different methods. With the proofs presented to us, we are made to witness this.
Greetings and love.
