IS GOD IN THE SKY OR ON EARTH



Let me begin by asking you: where can you find electromagnetic waves, or energy, gravity, consciousness? You might answer they may be found everywhere in our universe simply because you cannot localize them, right? Well, as all these are pervading and elusive within our universe, God claimed he created them. And if you cannot localize his creation, how could you localize the creator? This universe wasn’t eternal as it had a beginning and will one day end. You may well ask then where was God before he created the universe and where would he be when it is extinct? Logically you know you cannot localize God either on the earth or in heaven. It is fallacy for people to be saying God is in the sky by simply sighting the verse

 

Q7:54 “Your Guardian lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne”

 

God throne is not a physical throne up there somewhere in the sky but alluding to his power to control all creation. God cannot be in a throne outside the universe he created, as that will allude he isn’t in the universe. He is all pervading, within and without the universe as this verse

 

Q50:16 “It is we who created man and we know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him, for we are nearer to him than his jugular vein”

 

The jugular vein is the artery that sustain the supply of blood from the heart to the brain and a second blockage of the passage could lead to death, thus it is the lifeline of man and God claims he is closer to us than the jugular. Is that physical? No, as I pointed earlier even created beings can be pervading (everywhere) let alone God. God is there before he created the universe as he told us in

 

21:30 “Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder?”

 

Until the second half of the last century no one knew exactly (scientifically) how our universe began. Today even though we knew about the big bang, the science (at the moment) forbid us from knowing how the singularity that gave birth to our universe came about and 1400 years ago he supplied the answer

 

Quran 41:11 “Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience.”

 

The singularity that resulted into the big bang was a remnant of an earlier universe which force of gravity contracted as alluded by the above verse. And our present universe awaits a similar fate of a big crunch, which our present science is grappling to confirm whether we have an open, closed or flat universe which will determine it's ultimate face.

 

God as creator of the universe exists above and within our universe. Above because he is a non physical being and within as the fountain of life, mind, soul, consciousness…whatever you feel like calling it. Life and consciousness originates from God as he told us in

Quran 15:28–29 “Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

 

Adam, representing all created life on our planet was able to live only after the breathing of God spirit on matter. Lo! and Behold! life was seeded to our planet. All efforts to replicate this devine intervention by scientist or magicians have proved futile and SHALL remain so. But our Atheist friends, as blind as they are, will invoke blind chance and shamelessly hide behind Neo-darwinism to appropriate all God's attribute to blind nature. Well, God has challenged them for 1400 years in

 

Quran 22:73 “O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose!

 

And the day anyone is able to take up this challenge and create a living creature like the fly, I will surely join the Atheist bandwagon and denounce God.

HOW MANY TIMES DID GOD ASKED US TO THINK IN THE QURAN?

Image
  "And we have sent down to thee the book (Qur’an) explaining all things, as a guide, a mercy and glad tidings to the believers" The Qur’an here is claiming everything is explained therein including all the branches of knowledge from Agriculture to Astronomy, Education and Economics, Law and Language, Accountancy and Administration, History and Evolution, Science and Spirituality etc. It would seem an impossible ask for a book one and a half thousand years old to contain subjects that were developed centuries later, but examining the scripture will corroborate the claim. One big problem posed to religious scholars researching the scriptures is their naïve assumptions that everything should be glaringly literal. God told us in Q47:24 "Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur’an, or are their hearts locked by them? It is necessary for people who want to understand the scriptures to employ research in order to understand the verses. Research enables us to use o...

THE NORTHERN WAHALA!

Image
2007 Nigeria was born through the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates in 1914 under the British colonial rule. Earlier on at the dawn of the century, the British military might subdued the last remnants of the Sokoto caliphate with the fall of Kano in 1903. The yet to be names northern region was then a union of emirates spread from beyond the banks of Argungu river in the west to the banks of lake Chad in the east and from the edge of the Sahara desert in the north down to the banks of river Niger and Benue in the south, all controlled from the seat of the caliphate in Sokoto. The colonial masters having appreciate the efficiency of the political and civil administration of the empire based on Islamic principles decided to leave it intact but use the indirect rule system copied from the Indian experience. The western system of education was introduced to be greeted with skepticism by the society as it was deemed alien and ungodly, except for the few so...

THE BIG BANG

Image
The big bang theory alongside the steady state theory polarized scientist for decades with regards to the actual origin of this universe. The big bang theory, formulated in the first half of the last century, asserts that the universe began from one giant nuclear explosion. Einstein theory of relativity and Edwin Hubble expanding universe theory, together with the discovery of the overwhelming evidence of gamma radiation detected by the Hubble’s telescope proved beyond doubt that indeed the universe was born out of the big bang explosion. So what did the all-knowing told us? Q21:30 "Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and earth were joined together in one unit of creation (the primordial atom) before we clove them asunder (the big bang)?" All the atoms of matter created were packed into a singularity of infinite density with supersonic excited movement. Suddenly the primordial atom, in one giant nuclear explosion, caused the famous "big bang" ...
