Allah is the Creator of all things

This
holy ayah comes at the beginning of the last fifth of Surat Az-Zumar,
which is a Makkan Surah composed of 75 ayahs after the “Basmallah”. The
Surah is called Az-Zumar (The Groups) because it refers to the
groups of disbelievers and polytheists entering into Hell, and the
groups of devout believers entering into Paradise on the Day of Judgment.

The main theme
of the Surah is creed. Nevertheless, in some of the ayahs it also
refers to the nature of humans, the destiny of the believers and (the)
disbelievers in the hereafter, and what has befallen the disbelievers of
previous nations. The Surah gives many parables and signs of creation
that proves the Omnipotence of the Divine Aability in creating the
universe and resurrecting the dead.

Signs of creation in Surat Az-Zummar:

1. *“He
created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go
in the day, and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected
the sun and the moon. Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed
term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.”* (ayah 5).

2. *“He
created you (all) from a single person (Adam); then made from him his
wife (Hawwa (Eve)). And He has sent for you of cattle eight pairs (of
the sheep, two male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of
the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and
female). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers; creation after
creation in three veils of darkness. Such is Allah, your Lord. His is
the Kingdom. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but
He). How then are you turned away?”* (ayah 6).

3. *“See
you not that Allah sends down water(rain) from the sky, and causes it
to penetrate the earth,(and then makes it to spring up)as water-springs,
and afterward thereby produces crops of different colors, and afterward
they wither and you see them turn yellow; then He makes them dry and
broken pieces. Verily, in this is a Reminder for men of understanding.”*
(ayah 21).

4. *“Verily you (O Muhammad) will die, and verily they (too) will die.”* (ayah 30).

5. *“It
is Allah Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those
that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He
has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in
this are signs for a people who think deeply.”* þ (ayah 42).

6. *“Say
(O Muhammad): "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth!
All-Knower of the Ghaib (unseen) and the seen! You will judge between
Your slaves about that wherein they used to differ.”* (ayah 46).

7. *“Allah
is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakil (trustee, Disposer of
all affairs, Guardian) over all things.” *( ayah 62)

8. *“They
made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And On the Day
of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and
the heavens will be rolled up in His Right hand. Glorified be He, and
High be He above all that they associate as partners with Him.”* (ayah
67).

9. *“And
the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah, when He will
come to judge among men): and the Book will be placed (open); and the
Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward; and it will be
judged between them with truth; and they will not be wronged.”* (ayah
69).

Each ayah of
the previously mentioned ayahs requires its own special analysis to
explain the scientific wonders in it. Surely, it would not be proper to
analyze all nine ayahs in one article. So, I will confine this article
to discussing the seventh ayah only. Before I begin, I find it necessary
to introduce some scholars' interpretations of this ayah.

Interpretations of this ayah by some scholars:

*“Allah is the Creator
of all things, and He is the Wakil (trustee, Disposer of all affairs,
Guardian) over all things.” *( ayah 62)

The author of “Fi Zilal Al-Qur’an” says:
This last section of the Surah presents the truth of monotheism
concerning the Oneness of the Creator and the Owner of all things. It
puts an end to the disbelievers' offer, which was to worship the God of
the Prophet (peace be upon him) if he would worship their gods in
return. This was a strange offer since Allah is the Creator of all
things, the Owner of the heavens and earth, the One who has no partners.
How could He be worshipped along with someone else while everything on
earth and in heavens belongs to Him Alone?

Scientific implications in this ayah:

The holy ayah
states that everything that exists in both the visible and the hidden
worlds is a creation of Allah. He has created all things with His
knowledge, wisdom, and power, and protects this creation with His mercy.
If the universe was left to its own care for even a twinkle of an eye,
it would collapse and perish. Among
the creatures of the hidden world the Qur'an mentions the angels and
the jinn. The creatures of the visible world are human beings, animals,
plants (all animate creatures), the different types of matter and energy
(inanimate), and the different regions and places that are dimensions
of the material world.

The process of
creation itself with its three stages—the creation of the universe,
living things, and then man—was a hidden operation that was not
witnessed by man. Consequently, Allah the Almighty says in the Qur'an *"I
(Allah) made them (Iblis and his offspring) not to witness (nor took
their help in) the creation of the heavens and the earth and not (even)
their own creation; nor was I (Allah) to take the misleaders as
helpers."* (Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave): 51).

In addition, Allah also says *"Say:
"Travel in the land and see how (Allah) originated the creation; and
then Allah will bring forth the creation of the Hereafter (i.e.
resurrection after death).Verily, Allah is Able to do all things."*,(Surat Al-Ankaboot (The Spider): 20).

Putting
these two holy ayahs together makes it clear that although man did not
witness the process of creation since it preceded his existence, Allah
the Almighty has left for him in the earth's rocks and sky many perceptible clues to help the believer reach a correct idea about the process of creation.

As for the disbeliever, he sees the perceptible clues,
touches it with his hands but in his attempt to assign the creation to
someone other than Allah, he is lead astray by a flood of hypotheses and
theories that lead him anywhere but to the truth. That’s why Allah confirms what can be translated as, *“Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakil (trustee, Disposer of all affairs, Guardian) over all things.”* (Surat Az-Zumar (The Groups): 62). Moreover,
many other Qur'anic ayahs emphasize the truth about creation so that
the believers would not be deluded by the puzzles set up by the
disbelievers and polytheists who are lead, and still lead people, astray
even in our current scientific age. As a matter of fact, the verb
"create" and its many derivations appear in the Qur'an 252 times
emphasize that Allah is the Creator of all things.

The disbelievers' quandary concerning the age of the universe and the evolution of life on earth

In an
attempt to deny the creation and the existence of the Creator,
disbelievers from ancient times claimed that the world is eternal.
Scientific explorations proving the extreme antiquity of the universe
and life on earth were thought by atheists to support such a claim.
Moreover, the evolutionary process in creation has been discovered,
starting from the creation of primary cells in substances to the
creation of animate organisms, plants, and animals until, at the very
end, it was all crowned by the creation of man as such an honored
creature. Still, disbelievers used such discoveries in supporting their
false claims of “random creation” which has no proof. Allah's
creations were created over prolonged intervals. It is only Him Who has
the power to say to something, “Be.” and it happens. This is for two
obvious reasons:

First: Allah
wanted to give those who contemplate nature a chance to figure out His
laws that govern this universe so that they would use them in
establishing a good life on earth. Moreover, this will help them to
recognize part of the Creator's great power, knowledge, and wisdom which
will lead them to prostrate to Him in worship and obedience. It will
also help them to observe the harmony in building the universe which
declares Allah's Oneness, to see the duality of all his creatures, from
the one celled organism to the human being, which prove Allah's
Perfection and Oneness, having no partners or rivals. He created all
things. How dare anyone assign himself to His level? *"Surely,
disbelievers are those who said:" Allah is the third of the three (in a
Trinity)." But there is no Ilah (god) (none who has the right to be
worshipped) but One Ilah (God-Allah).And if they cease not from what
they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers
among them."*

(Surat Al-Ma'ida (The Table spread with Food): 73)

Second:
Time is a boundary made by Allah, a boundary that limits Allah’s
creatures. It is essentially a creature, and a creature could never
limit its creator. No matter how much time progresses it is always
within the controlling fingers of Allah, dependant upon His will.
Instead of understanding the issue this way, materialistic people rush
into denying the process of creation and its Creator by claiming that
this universe is eternal and random, contradicting all scientific
observations found in the earth and the skies. But the Qur'anic ayah we
are dealing with, along with hundreds of other ayahs, prove that Allah
is the Creator of all things refute the claims about the random and
eternal universe.

The antiquity of the universe and the refutation of its eternity proves the truth of creation

Scientific
observation of the known universe proves that heat energy transfers
from bodies of greater temperature to bodies of lower temperature. If
the universe were eternal as they claim, hot and cold bodies would have
become the same temperature and this universe would have ended long time
ago. The existence of the universe until today with the continuation of
heat transfer refutes the claim of its eternity and infinity and proves
that it is nothing but a creation that has a beginning (more
than 10 billion years ago—scientists estimate approximately 14 billion
years) and must have an end one day, that only Allah knows. The current
laws governing the universe indicate that this end is inevitable, yet
they cannot predict when it will happen. For example, the sun loses 4.6
million tons of energy from its mass every second and the same applies
on the rest of the stars. So, our universe is definitely on its way to
an end at a moment which only Allah the Almighty specifies. Allah says
in His holy book what can be translated as, *"They
ask thee about the Hour (Day of Resurrection): "when will be its
appointed time?" Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (Alone).
None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens
and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden." They
ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it. Say:" the knowledge
thereof is with Allah (Alone), but most of mankind know not."* (Surat Al-A`raf (The Heights): 187).
