Footnote Number Eleven 231 Undoubtedly, His mighty hand has control over every particle, and the existence and survival of any creation is not because of its own nec- essary existence but depends entirely on His support and protection. There are endless fields of divine powers in the exercise of His omnipo- tence—there being no internal limit nor external boundary. Just as it is possible that God Almighty may create external agents to mitigate the intensity of a flaming fire, it is also possible that God Almighty might create agents within its own body to nullify its prop- erty of combustion, for there is nothing impossible for His limitless wisdom and powers. Having agreed that His wisdom and powers are limitless, it is also incumbent upon us to accept that it is impossible and absurd for us to obtain knowledge of all of His wisdom and powers. We cannot, there- fore, devise a law for His limitless wisdom and powers, and we cannot measure an object the boundaries of which are beyond our knowledge. We are an extremely limited and tiny sphere of the world of the sons of A dam [Adam] and we lack full knowledge of even this sphere. Given this, it would be our meanness and foolishness to seek to estimate, with this insignificant measure, the endless wisdom and powers of God Almighty. In short, Brahm u Sam a jists deny the complete rub u biyyat and per- fect omnipotence of God Almighty which nourishes the existence and survival of every particle at all times and at every moment, and whose deeply profound methods of control are beyond any measure or count.

Similarly, they do not believe completely in the ra h m a niyyat of God Almighty. For, perfect ra h m a niyyat is that just as God Almighty brought into being through His unique might all of the means neces- sary for the development and sustenance of our physical bodies, and
