158. Essence of Islam-1. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and I had to believe in the verse: إِنَّمَا أَمْرُةُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ 100. This means that: Heaven and earth obey Him and when. He wills a thing and He says to it: Be; it happens at once. . Then He says: 101 وَاللهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ. That is to say: God's command over His will is supreme, but most people are unaware of His wrath and Omnipotence. . So much for the prayer taught in the Gospel which takes away man's hope of God's mercy and makes Christians forgetful of His Rubūbiyyat and they do not consider God capable of helping on earth till His kingdom should arrive upon the earth. As a contrast the prayer that God has taught to the Muslims in the Qur'an teaches that God is not helpless in the earth like one dethroned, but that His system of Rububiyyat, Raḥmāniyyat and Raḥīmiyyat are in operation on the earth and that He has the power to help. His worshippers and can destroy the offenders with His wrath. That prayer is as follows: الْحَمْدُ لله رب العلمينَ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِه مُلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِم غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّايِّينَ 0 102. This means that: God alone is worthy of all praise. There is no deficiency in His kingdom. Nothing is awaited out 100 Ya-Sin 36:83 [Publisher] 101.
