Who created you?Who gave you your hair and your eyes their color?Who said how tall you would be and what color your skin would be?And, Who created your mother, your father and your friends?Who created mountains, trees, the sea, the Sun, and the Moon?Who created cats and dogs, squirrels, giraffes, and the other creatures?Most of you will all answer these questions in the same way: "God created us and everything else." Of course, this is the right answer!So, how well do you know Almighty God, the Creator of us and the whole universe?God has revealed Himself to us in the Qu'ran.In this film, we will get to know God through the verses of the Qu'ran and try to get closer to Him.GOD IS THE FIRST; HE EXISTED BEFORE EVERYTHINGHe is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward. He has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-Hadid, 3)The world we live in is part of a very big universe.Through history, people have wondered whether this huge universe had a beginning or not. In the 20th century, it was proved that it had. In 1929, a scientist by the name of Edwin Hubble observed that the universe was always expanding. Starting from this fact, scientists made an important deduction: if one went backwards in time, the universe would get smaller. And, a universe that was getting smaller would eventually become one single point. So, the universe came from the explosion of this tiny point.But here, we have a great mystery. Explosions always damage things around them. An example of this is the eruption of a volcano. Such explosions destroy things in the area; they knock down houses and uproot trees.The explosion that formed the universe was much more powerful than billions of volcanic explosions.But, unlike other explosions, this one formed the universe with a perfect order.This shows that a Creator with infinite power fashioned it. And, this Creator with infinite power is Almighty God.God created the explosion that gave birth to the universe and from this explosion, He established the perfect order that exists in it.Before living things, planets, and the whole universe were created, there was only God; He is the First.
GOD FORGIVES THE MISTAKES WE MAKE
Whether you reveal a good act or keep it hidden, or pardon an evil act, God is Ever-Pardoning, All-Powerful. (Surat an-Nisa', 149)
We all make mistakes from time to time. We may fail to consider all aspects about something and make wrong decisions. We may behave incorrectly. But, God created us; He knows our weaknesses and forgives our mistakes. We have to recognize our mistake and repent so that we don't do the same thing again. That is, we have to pray God for forgiveness.
If we are sincere in this behavior, God forgives our sins and pardons us. He tells us in the Qu'ran about the importance of sincerity:
God only accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and then quickly repent after doing it. God turns towards such people. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nisa', 17)
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING
God knows the Unseen of the heavens and Earth. God knows what the heart contains. (Surah Fatir, 38)
God knows everything;
He knows the heavens and the Earth, and every living thing in between.
He knows what happens every moment.
He knows the people who are born and who die every minute around the world.
He knows how many leaves fall from every tree in the world.
He knows the billions of individual stars in the billions of galaxies in the universe; He knows everything that we could ever put in a list.
He reveals in the Qu'ran thus:
... He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. ... (Surat al-An'am, 59)
There is another point we should never forget: God knows what we think and everything we do, secretly or in the open. We may hide something we have done from other people, but we can't hide it from God. His knowledge embraces the whole universe.
GOD IS THE MAGNIFICENT
Everything in the heavens and everything in the Earth belongs to Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Surat ash-Shura, 4)
God's magnificence is beyond our comprehension. But, when we look at what He has created, we can grasp His greatness. We can see how powerful He is.
The sky that holds up tons of clouds,
the mountains that rise thousands of feet into the sky,
the seas containing millions of kinds of different creatures,
the forests where many animals live....
These things and many more than we can count are among the clear signs of God's greatness.
GOD DOES WHAT HE WILLS
He is God -- there is no deity but Him. He is the King, the Most Pure, the Perfect Peace, the Trustworthy, the Safeguarder, the Almighty, the Compeller... (Surat al-Hashr, 23)
There are some arrogant people around. They think they are better than other people. They think that the qualities and abilities they have belong to them. Sometimes they even act arrogantly toward God
