The oneness of God’s Lordship

عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَعَقَلْتُ نَاقَتِي بِالْبَابِ، فَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَقَالَ: «اقْبَلُوا البُشْرَى يَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ»، قَالُوا: قَدْ بَشَّرْتَنَا فَأَعْطِنَا، مَرَّتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ اليَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: «اقْبَلُوا البُشْرَى يَا أَهْلَ اليَمَنِ، إِذْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا بَنُو تَمِيمٍ»، قَالُوا: قَدْ قَبِلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالُوا: جِئْنَاكَ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ هَذَا الأَمْرِ. قَالَ: «كَانَ اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ غَيْرُهُ، وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى المَاءِ، وَكَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَخَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ» فَنَادَى مُنَادٍ: ذَهَبَتْ نَاقَتُكَ يَا بْنَ الحُصَيْنِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ، فَإِذَا هِيَ يَقْطَعُ دُونَهَا السَّرَابُ، فَوَاللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ تَرَكْتُهَا.

‘Imrān ibn Ḥuṣayn narrated:
1. I visited the Prophet (peace be upon him) and tied my she-camel at the door. 2. Some people from the Tamīm tribe came in and he said to them: ‘Accept the happy news, Banī Tamīm’. 3. They said: ‘You have given us happy news, so give us’. They repeated it twice. 4. Then people from Yemen came in, and he said: ‘Accept the happy news, people of Yemen, as the Tamīm people have not’. 5. They said: ‘We accept it, Messenger of God’. 6. They then said: ‘We have come to ask you about this matter’. 7. He said: ‘There was God, and there was nothing other than Him. 8. His throne was on water. 9. He wrote everything in the Record, 10. and He created the heavens and the earth’. 11. Someone called out: Ibn al-Ḥuṣayn, your she-camel has gone. I went out, and it was not to be seen. 12. By God, I wish I had abandoned it.

He it is who has created the heavens and the earth in six aeons, whereas His throne has rested upon water, so that He may test you [to make manifest] which of you is best in conduct.

(11: 7)

It is We who will bring the dead back to life. We record whatever [deeds] they send ahead, as well as the traces they leave behind. We keep an account of all things in a clear record.

(36: 12)

Say:

‘Do you indeed disbelieve in Him who has created the earth in two Days? And do you claim others to be His equals? It is He who is the Lord of all the worlds. (9) He it is who placed on the earth firm mountains towering above it, and bestowed His blessings on it, and measured out its varied provisions in four days, ensuring equity for all who seek [such provisions]. (10) Then, He applied His design to the sky, which was but smoke; and said to it and to the earth: ‘Come, both of you, willingly or unwillingly’. They both said: ‘We do come willingly’. (11) So He decreed that they become seven heavens in two days, and assigned to each heaven its task. We adorned the sky nearest to the earth with lights, and made them secure. Such is the design of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.

(41: 9-12)

We have created everything in due measure.

(54: 49)
