3 Major Themes
i. Allah in Himself
ii. Allah’s relations with His created world
iii. Allah’s relations with His Messengers

Q2(a). From the Quranic passages you have studied, outline the main themes about Allah in
Himself. [10 marks]

(A) Allah in Himself:

Major theme of the Holy Quran is to highlight Magnificence, Oneness and uniqueness of
God (Allah), and His supreme Powers by drawing attention of the mankind to His Attributes:

The Creator:  All what we see in this universe comprising of billions of galaxies, stars and
planets have been created by no one but Allah alone. Being the Sovereign Lord of the
universe, He 46 administers it single-handedly, without the assistance of anyone or
interference from any quarter. The stand of the atheists that this universe came into being
as a result of some accident and that it would continue to function in a mechanical manner
till it completes the circle of its life and then dissolve into oblivion is, to say the least, a
ridiculous idea. The Holy Quran says: “It is Allah besides whom none has the right to be
worshipped…… He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms….”
(59:23-4) And have they not looked into the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and
all things that Allah has created?” (7:185)

The One and Unique:  The Creator of the universe is One and Unique without any
partners. The unity of design and that of the fundamental facts of creation and existence of
the universe proclaim His Oneness. The Holy Quran says:  “He is Allah, the One; Allah, the
Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; and there is none equal or comparable
to Him.” (112:1-4)  “There is nothing whatever like unto Him.” (42:11)  “He is the First,
the Last, the Most High and the Most Near…..” (57:3)  “He is Allah, besides Whom none
has the right to be worshipped…. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above what they associate
as partners with Him….” (59:23-4)
The Sustainer:  Allah not only created the world but He is also its Sustainer, Cherisher and
Provider. Allah in the Holy Quran has called Himself Rabbul Alameen:  “The Cherisher and
Sustainer of the worlds.” (1:1)  “Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the world.” (7:54)

The Omnipotent:  He is All Powerful and Supreme, the Mightiest who created this
immeasurably vast universe. He is indefinable, unfathomable and inaccessible to human
perception. The Holy Quran says: “He is Allah,…… the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the
Supreme…..” (59:23-4)

The Omnipresent:  Allah is present everywhere but His presence can be felt and visualized
only by seeing and probing the excellence and perfection of the universe which He has
created. The Holy Quran says: “To Allah belong the East and the West: withersoever ye turn,
there is the presence of Allah. For Allah is All Pervading, All knowing.” (2:115)

The Omniscient:  His knowledge in all manifestations and dimensions is absolute, perfect
and complete, all-encompassing and all-embracing. He knows the hidden and the manifest,
past and present and also what lies ahead, to the minutest possible details.  The Holy
Quran says:  “There is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-
seeing.” (42:11)  “He is the First, the Last, the Most High and the Most Near. And He has
full knowledge of all things.” (57:3)  “To Allah belongeth all that is in the heavens and on
earth, whether ye show what is in your minds or conceal it, Allah calleth you to account for
it.” (2:284)

The Eternal and Absolute:  Allah is the Eternal, without beginning or end, He was there
when there was nothing and He will be there when nothing will be there. Allah is the
Absolute, not limited by time or place or circumstance. The Holy Quran says:  “He is the
First (nothing is before Him), the Last (nothing is after Him), the Most High (nothing is above
Him), and the Most Near (nothing is nearer than Him)….” (57:3)  “Allah! There is no god
but He…. The living, The self-sustaining, Eternal….” (2:255)  “Say: He is Allah, the One,
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten” (112:1-3)
The Law Giver: • Allah has not only created the universe but He has also laid down laws
which govern all its facets and dimensions. His signs in this respect are scattered
everywhere within ourselves and in the entire universe. The stars scattered throughout the
infinite space, the vast panorama of nature with its charm and beauty, the regular waxing
and waning of the moon, the astonishing harmony of seasons and days and nights all point
towards one fact: there is a God, the Creator, the Governor, the Law-Giver who is the
Sovereign Lord of this universe. The Holy Quran says: • “Blessed is He who has made
constellations in the skies, and placed therein a lamp (i.e. the sun) and a moon giving light.”
(25:61) • “It is He who has created seven heavens one above another. No incongruity can
you see in the creation of the Most Beneficent.” (67:3-4) • The laws which He has given are
eternal. A citrus tree is created to grow citrus, it can not grow pomegranates. The sun will
always rise from the east, not south, west or north.
B) God’s Relationship with the Created World:
The order of creation is such that the sun, the moon, the stars, water and earth, the day
and the night, the seasons of the year, the clouds, wind and rain, the treasures beneath
the earth and on its surface, in other words, all the forces of nature use their energy and
resources in providing well-being and peace of mind for Man. Such a relation and
harmony can be discovered among all phenomena and also between man and his
neighbors, near and far, as well as within man’s own habitat.
• Man is Allah’s best creation as he alone has been blessed with the knowledge, power,
faculty and wisdom to explore and understand the mysteries and intricacies of this
immeasurably vast universe. It is evident from the fact that when confronted, the angels
could not give the names of the things while Adam did it quite easily and spontaneously
because he had been so taught by the Supreme Lord. (2:31-33)
• Man is Allah’s vicegerent on the Planet Earth. (2:30) Allah has clearly told him that if
he acts in accordance with His commands, he will achieve peace and tranquility in this
world and eternal bliss and joy (Paradise) in the next world. But if he indulges in
defiance, arrogance and self-conceit, eternal sorrow and affliction in the Hereafter will
be his fate and Hell his permanent abode.
• Within the constraints of destiny (Taqdeer), Allah has granted man a kind of
autonomy. For example, Allah has gifted man with the power of speech which he can
use either to do good or evil to humanity, and to tell a truth, or to utter a falsehood.
Allah has also bestowed upon man the faculties of learning, speaking, understanding
and discriminating right from wrong and good from evil. Allah says: “The truth is from
your Lord; let him who will believe, and let him who will reject (it).” (18:29) “You knew
nothing, and He gave you hearing and sight and intelligence and affections that you may
give thanks.” (16:78)
• Allah loves His Creation so much that He will not force it to commit sin and then
punish it.
• Allah is so generous that he does not make it a duty for men to do what is not in their
power. The Holy Quran says: “Allah burdens not anyone except according to his
capacity.” (2:286)
• Allah loves those who do good and He likes the righteous, the pious and the patient.
Allah wants mankind to be on the `Right Path’, for that alone is the way of salvation.
• Allah does not like evil and transgression, for it surely leads to Hell. The Holy Quran
says: “That home of the Hereafter (Jannat) we shall assign to those who rebel not
against the truth with pride and oppression in the land nor do mischief by committing
crimes. And the good end is for the pious and righteous person.” (28:83) “And walk not
on earth with conceit and arrogance.” (17:37)
“And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the
earth. Verily, Allah likes not any arrogant boaster.” (31:18)
• The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: “He who has, in his heart, an ant’s weight of arrogance
will not enter Paradise.” (Muslim) “Shall I not inform you of the inmates of Hell? It is
every violent, impertinent, and proud person. (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
• As Allah is very compassionate, loving and considerate towards human-beings, He
gives them repeated chances and opportunities to repent and seek His forgiveness. The
Holy Quran says: “Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: Verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly,
He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (39:53) “And never do we requite in such a way
except those who are ungrateful (disbelievers)” (34:17) “And My Mercy embraces all
things.” (7:156) “Certainly, no one despairs of Allah’s Mercy, except the people who
disbelieve.” (12:87) “Verily, your Rabb is Quick in Retribution (for the disobedient and
wicked) and certainly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (for the obedient and those
who beg Allah’s forgiveness).” (7:167) “But your Lord is Most Forgiving, full of Mercy.”
(18:58) “And seek the Forgiveness of Allah; for Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (4:106)
“Why turn they not to Allah, and seek his Forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.” (5:77) “Tell my servants that I am indeed the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
(15:49) “If any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amended (his
conduct), indeed He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (6:54; 7:153; 9:4-5)
• It should, however, be borne in mind that: “He who forgives sins, accepts repentance,
is (also) strict in punishment.” (40:3)
• It has been clearly laid down in the Holy Quran that on the Day of Reckoning “the
Fujjar (the wicked, disbelievers, sinners and evil doers) will be in the blazing Fire (Hell).”
(82:14)…. “But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light, he will have his
home in Hawiyah (pit i.e. Hell).” (101:9)

© Allah’s Messengers:
• Man is Allah’s vicegerent on earth (2:30). Allah clearly commanded right at the outset that if
man acts in accordance with His injunctions, he will achieve peace and tranquility 50 in this
world and eternal bliss and joy in the next world. However, if man indulges in defiance and
arrogance, his fate will be eternal sorrow and affliction in the hereafter.
• To keep reminding man of the Right Path, and the Satan’s attempts to de-track him, Allah sent
His Messengers from time to time to deliver His eternal message to them.
• All these Messengers of Allah numbering about 1,24,000 were absolutely truthful, free of any
sins, possessed of the highest order of intelligence, mental ability and alertness. They delivered
Allah’s message as it was, without any omission, concealment or alteration.
• All the Apostles of Allah were from amongst human beings. They lived a normal life i.e. they
married, had children and, like others, struggled to earn their living.
• Allah’s message was delivered by the Apostles in the language which the people of that area
spoke.
• There was hardly any Prophet who was not scoffed at, insulted, humiliated and tortured by
the people, so much so that some of them were even killed by the pagans.
• As Muslims, we have been commanded by Allah to believe in all of His Messengers, to respect
them and not to make any distinction amongst them. The Holy Quran says: “….. We make no
distinction…. Between one and another of His Messengers.” (2:285)
• Allah has always helped His Apostles and punished and destroyed the wicked nonbelievers.
The Holy Quran says: “Then he (Noah) invoked his Lord’s help (saying) “I have been overcome,
so help (me)! So, we opened the gates of the heaven with water pouring forth, and we caused
springs to gush forth from the earth….” (54:9-16) “So the earthquake seized them (Samud), and
they lay (dead), prostrate in their homes….” (7:73-79) “And (remember) when we separated the
sea for you and saved you and drowned Pharaoh’s people while you were looking (at them)
when the sea water covered them….” (2:50-51)
• Allah’s message to human-beings all-through has been the same i.e. they must accept that
Allah is the Sole Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of this universe, He is One and Unique, and
that He alone is the Sovereign Lord of the Universe, without any partners to share in His power,
Authority and Suzerainty.
• The first Prophet was Hazrat Adam and the last one is Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). In between
comes Hazrat Ibrahim from whom emanated a long line of Prophets through his two sons,
Hazrat Ismail and Hazrat Ishaq. From Hazrat Ishaq came Hazrat Yaqoob, Hazrat Yusuf, Hazrat
Musa, Hazrat Daud, Hazrat Sulaiman, Hazrat Isa, while Hazrat Ismail was the great great
grandfather of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). Previously the message of the Prophets was confined
to a particular people, area or time span while the message of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is
universal, eternal, and perfect in all aspects and for all of mankind till the last day of human-
beings on this planet. It is also stipulated in this last message that after the Holy Prophet (PBUH),
no other prophet would now be sent at any time under any circumstances, for whatever Allah
wanted to convey to mankind in final shape, has already been communicated through him.
• Allah, the Exalted, says in the Holy Quran: “And we have sent you not but as a mercy for the
Al-amin (mankind, Jin and all that exists)” (21:107) “And if your Lord had so willed, He could
surely have made mankind one Ummah, or Community (following one religion i.e. Islam), but
they will not cease to disagree.” (11:118) “We did indeed send before you Messengers to their
(respective) people, and they came to them with clear signs.” (30:47) “We have not sent you but
as a Messenger to all of Mankind, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sins), but
most of them know not.” (34:28) “Say: `O Mankind’! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of
Allah, to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth.” (7:158) “…. But he is the
Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets.” (33:40)
• All previous messages were corrupted one way or the other while the last message from Allah
i.e. the Holy Quran stands intact till today exactly the way it was revealed to the Holy Prophet
(PBUH) more than fourteen centuries back in Arabia.

Story of Ibrahim breaking the Idols:

After the idol-worshipper left their idols alone in their idol-house, Ibrahim broke them behind
their backs, all except the chief idol. When the idol-worshippers came back, asked Ibrahim if he
had done the deed. Ibrahim replied that the chief idol had crushed the false gods. Annoyed, the
people replied that the chief idol could not answer their queries. So, Ibrahim invited them to the
true religion of Islam. However, the furious idol-worshippers prepared to put Ibrahim to the
flame. However, Quran says that Allah said: "0 fire, be coolness and peace for Ibrahim".Ibrahim
learns that Allah is not visible as He has no physique but His existence is visible in His signs like
sun,moon,day and night and the divine knowledge given to the messengers as Ibrahim said,"Who
created me He guides me "(26:78). Thus, Ibrahim and his nephew Lut migrated to another

Q. From the passages you've studied from the Quran, write about Allah's
relationship with humankind. [10 marks]

Allah has facilitated human being all those sources which could bring peace and harmony
among them. The best creation of Allah is human being as he alone has been blessed him with
knowledge and wisdom. We are Allah's wisest knight of Earth. If we act in accordance with
Allah's commands, we will achieve His blessing on the Day of Judgment. But if we involve
ourselves in arrogance then than eternal sorrow and punishment in the Hereafter (Hell) will be
our fate Allah has granted Man some power, the power of speech can be used either to do
good or evil to humanity. Similarly, Allah has bestowed upon man the skills of learning,
understanding and differentiating right from wrong as Allah says: "you knew nothing, and He
gave you hearing and sight, intelligence and affections that you may give thanks" (16:78)

"Allah burdens not anyone except according to his capacity" (2:286) the evil and transgression
surely leads to hell, the Quran says: "And walk not on Earth with conceit and arrogance" (17:37)
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: "He who has in his heart, an ant's wait of arrogance will not enter
Paradise"

Allah is not only the creator of this world but He also runs it, that also without any problem any
interference. The Holy Quran says: "Praise be to Allah the Cherishes and Sustainer of the Worlds"
(1:2) Allah alone is the Supreme Ruler and associating partners with him is an unforgivable sin.
As he has power over everything that is beyond our thinking, we must always ask for His help and
support. As Surah Fateha Says: "You do we worship and your aid we seek" Being the best of his
creations Allah has blessed us with our free will, we can decide to other do good on follow the
evil path therefore for our betterment we must always pray to Allah to: "Show us the
straightaway" (1:7)

Allah created man to be His vicegerent on Earth and to test our obedience towards him. He loves
us to no extent and has provided us with every luxury and has fulfilled all our needs, therefore
we must love and thank him. (24/7) It is said in Quran: "Who has made the Earth your couch, and
the heaven becomes your canopy" (2:22) In the same verse Allah mention His bounties to His
creation "and sent down rain from the heavens; and by it brought forth fruits for your
sustenance"? (2:22) Allah after all His blessings demanding to His creation" then do not set up
rivals to Allah, when you know the truth "(2:22). We humans are nothing compared to Allah, He
made us out of clay and coagulated blood, everything in this Universe belongs to Him. Surah Alaq
tell us:" He Created man out of a clot of congealed blood:"(Verse 2) when Allah created Adam
(AS), He gave him knowledge and the angels prostrated before him due to his knowledge. Allah
taught us to write with pen which is the key to infinite knowledge. "He who taught by the pen,
Taught man what he did not know." (96:4-5)

\ No action done by any human can be hidden from Allah; He is the ever-present and All-
Knowing. Two angels, Kiraman-Katibeen are continuously writing our good and bad deeds and
on the Day of Judgment every bring will be held accountable for his own deeds no matter how
good or bad it is, the Quran says: "The shall one who has done an atom's weight of good see it!
And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it" (surah e Zilzal:7-S). Being the
Creator of everything, Allah has control over them. He can allow his beings to condemn
themselves from whatever He wants. Evil exists in our world in various forms: man, jinn, Satan,
they're ever ready to mislead or hurt us and Allah alone can grant us protection against the
biggest sources of evil: "Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind.... From the
mischief of the Whisperer who withdraws, who whispers into the hearts of mankind" Allah
himself says: "If even shaitan excites you to anger, seek refuge in Aliah"(Surah e Araaf:2Q0)

Allah himself wants to protect His best creation(humans) from Satan's approach so in Quran at
several places Allah ask humans to take refuge of Him"And if an evil whisper from shaitan tries
to turn you away (from doing good) then seek refuge in Allah, Verily He is the All-Hearer, the all-
knower (Surah-e-Fussilat: 56).

Q. Outline from the passages you have studied, Allah’s relationship with the created
world. [10]

In Surah Fatiha Allah teaches us the words of supplication the same way He taught Hazrat Adam.
Allah is showing His love to us by teaching us the words of guidance so that we are not lost in the
wilderness. He is taking care of us in this world and the hereafter. This is so because He is closer
to us than our jugular vein.
“We worship You alone, and beg You alone for help. Guide us in the straight path. The path of
those whom You have favoured. Not of those who have earned Your anger and nor of those who
have gone astray.” (Fatiha:01, 5-7)
In Surah Baqarah Allah shows His mercy and love by providing us with shelter and the comfort of
the world. Allah says: “He has created the Earth with all provisions for our sustenance.” The sky
as a shady umbrella also providing rain through it then for all these favours we should only
approach Him and associate not any partners with Him as sincere worship and obedience
inculcates in us a consciousness of Allah’s presence.

“O Mankind! Worship your Lord Who has created you and those before you, haply you may
become pious. And Who made the earth a bed for you, and the sky a structure and caused water
to come down from heaven hence brought forth therewith some fruits for your food, therefore do
not set up equals for Allah knowingly.” (Al-Baqra: 02, 21-22)

Allah shows His love to us by giving us the gift of knowledge as the first word of the first revelation
was “read”. He is also explaining to us the nature of our existence that we are created out of a
clot of congealed blood. He asks us to thank Him and to take Him as the Lord who is the most
bountiful. As He taught us all we do not know.

“Read: In the Name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clot. Read: and your Lord is
the Most Generous. He who taught by the pen. Taught man what he never knew.” (Alaq:96, 1-5)

In Surah Zilzaal Allah is reminding us the scenario of the Day of Judgement. Belief on this Day is
imperative for us. We are reminded of the life after death and we have to present a full record
of our lives and acts alone in this world. Allah also shows His mercy and love by mentioning that
if we have done an atom’s worth of good deed, we will be rewarded and if we have done a little
bad, we will have to face the consequences. This also shows Allah’s justice. He is warning us to
give up our lives of sin and be obedient to Him.

“On that Day, the people will emerge in droves, to be shown their works. Whoever has done an
atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever has done an atom's weight of evil will see
it.” (Zilzaal: 99, 6-8)

In Surah Nas, He concluded the message of the Quran by reinforcing that He is our King, Rabb,
Well-wisher,Creator, Cherisher and Ruler more than any other King in this world. He is our guide
and it is to Him we have to return and we are accountable to Him. He reminds us to be aware
from evil as it inspires us through inception.
“Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. The King of mankind. The God of mankind. From
the evil of the sneaky whisperer. Who whispers into the hearts of people. From among jinn and
among people.” (An-Nas:114, 1-6)
