Since the whole mechanism of the universe and its consummate control is the result and manifes - tation of the Mighty power and attributes of an All-Knowing and All-Wise Supreme Being, we are certain that this diversity would not be without reason and wisdom. But is it necessary that all the subtle wisdom and innumerable plans of the Infinite Being be comprehensible to the limited human intellect and understand - ing? Bear in mind that no one’s vision or insight can comprehend Him. Instead, He is All-Encompassing. The Holy Quran says. 1 اَل ُهُكِرْدُت ُراَصْبَاْلا١ٞ َو َوُه ُكِرْدُي َراَصْبَاْلا١ۚ َو َوُه ُفْيِطَّللا ُرْيِبَخْلا Eyes cannot comprehend Him. But he comprehends the eyes. And He is the Incomprehensible, the All-Aware. And it is said further: 2 ُمَلْعَي اَم َنْيَب ْمِهْيِدْيَا َو اَم ْمُهَفْلَخ١ۚ َو اَل َنْوُطْيِحُي ٍءْيَشِب ْنِّم ٖۤهِمْلِع اَّلِا اَمِب َءٓاَش He knows all that is before them and behind them and they encompass nothing of his knowledge except what He Himself pleases. And again: 3 ُمَلْعَي اَم َنْيَب ْمِهْيِدْيَا َو اَم ْمُهَفْلَخ َو اَل َنْوُطْيِحُي ٖهِب اًمْلِع 1. S u rah al-An‘ a m, 6:104 [Publisher] 2. S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:256 [Publisher] 3.
