God Created and He Commands

By: Maged Taman

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ (7:54)
7:54 (Picktall) Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

Explanation:
In this simple verse the great creation of God is expressed. He created the heavens and earth in 6th days. Then he mounted in the throne. The most obvious to us is the day and night, the sun and the moon and the stars. You can not miss them, you do not need to check under the microscope. They are evident and marvelous. People who thought about a creator looked at them and wandered who is the creator. The Quran told us who is he and what he demands. He created, thus he has the right to have his commandments followed. Simple verse clear message and very compelling. You can not deny the creation, the creator behind them and his right to command.

The speaker here is God and it in one of the two style of his speech telling about himself (the other style is talking a direct speech to the prophet, humans and so forth). The two styles are perfect. The telling style is glorious as well. Humans do not use this one since it would look absurd imagine if I would say about myself "Maged goes to work and then go back home to write in his blog". Everyone will say just say I, but for God it is different his glory is factual.

Some of the deniers alleged that Muhammad (PBUH) had made the Quran and in some verses he forget and talk about God in the telling style. This could be easy to people at his time to pick up on that but early on they knew about the two styles. It actually made the Quran a different speech from other speeches that humans had used. Any novel or book you find the author would choose the style of his writing and stick to it. It is only God who has the power to have speech directed to all of us, Muhammad, certain group of people or using it in the telling style. God speech master all of that with the most appropriate of the speech to go to each group .
