onlooker nor a stray thought that is not subject to His Will.
He is the Creator at first, the Restorer, the Doer of whatsoever He wills. There is none that
rescinds His
command, and none that supplements His decrees, and there is no escape for a worshipper from
disobeying Him, except by His Help and Mercy, and none has power to obey Him except by His Will.
Even if mankind, jinn, angels, and devils were to unite to try to move the weight of an atom in the
world
or to render it still, without His Will they would fail.
His Will subsists in His Essence amongst His Attributes. He has not ceased to be described by it
from
eternity, willing, - in His Infinity - the existence of the things at their appointed time which He
has
decreed. So they come into existence at their appointed times as He has willed in His Infinity
without
precedence or delay. They come to pass in accordance with His Knowledge and His Will without
