of the people and struck terror into them: and they
showed a great (feat of) magic. We put it into Moses's

and “chance”
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 48. By unwavering mathematical law we can prove that our universe was
designed and executed by a great engineering Intelligence.
Suppose you put ten coins, marked from one to ten, into your pocket
and give them a good shuffle. Now try to take them out in sequence
from one to ten, putting back the coin each time and shaking them all
again.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 49. Mathematically we know that your chance of first drawing number one
is one in ten; of drawing one and two in succession, one in 100; of
drawing one, two and three in succession, one in a thousand, and so on;
your chance of drawing them all, from one to number ten in succession,
would reach the unbelievable figure of one chance in ten thousand
million.

- 50. ‘Law’ of probability – between “will” The method
and “chance”
Consider the probability for life on The proof
earth.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 51. By the same reasoning, so many exacting conditions are necessary for life
on earth that they could not possibly exist in proper relationship by
chance.
The earth rotates on its axis at one thousand miles an hour; if it turned at
one hundred miles an hour, our days and nights would be ten times as
long as now, and the hot sun would then burn up our vegetation during
each long day while in the long night any surviving, sprout would freeze.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 52. Again, the sun, source of our life, has a surface temperature of 12,000
degrees Fahrenheit, and our earth is just far enough away so that this
"eternal fire" warms us just enough and not too much! If the sun gave
off only one-half its present radiation, we would freeze, and if it gave
half as much more, we would roast.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 53. The slant of the earth, tilted at an angle of 23½ degrees, gives us our
seasons; if it had not been so tilted, vapours from the ocean would
move north and south, piling up for us continents of ice.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 54. If our moon was, say, only 50 thousand miles away instead of its actual
distance our tides would be so enormous that twice a day all continents
would be submerged; even the mountains would soon be eroded away.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 55. If the crust of the earth had been only ten feet thicker, there would be no
oxygen without which animal life must die. Had the ocean been a few
feet deeper, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have been absorbed and
no vegetable life could exist.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 56. Or if our atmosphere had been thinner, some of the meteors, now burned in
space by the million every day, would be striking all parts of the earth,
starting fires everywhere.
Because of these, and host of other examples, there is not one chance in
millions that life on our planet is an accident!

vision: for He alone is the unfathomable (latif) *, all-aware."
(Qur’an: An'am: 6: 103)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 69. * The term 'latif ' in ) ) denotes something that is extremely
subtle in quality, and therefore “intangible and unfathomable.”
Whenever this term occurs in the Qur'an with reference to God in
conjunction with the adjective 'kha-biir ' ( ) "all aware”, it is
invariably used to express the idea of His inaccessibility to human
perception, imagination or comprehension, as contrasted with His Own
all-awareness.

alone is all-hearing, all-seeing."*
(Qur’an: As-Shura 42 : 11)
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
- 71. * The Oneness and Absolute Uniqueness of God is stressed here. In
the phrase "there is nothing like unto Him” ( )
implies that He (Allah) is fundamentally - not merely in His attributes -
"different" from anything that exists or could exist, or anything that
man can conceive or imagine or define.

say, behold, they would certainly have sought out a way
to the Lord of the Throne!
Glory to him! He is high above all that they say! Exalted
and Great (beyond measure)*!"
(Qur’an: Isra’: 17: 42-43)
For the concept of God or the “Divine Being” must refer to that which
is “Infinite” or encompasses all else without being limited. Let us
reflect and understand the term “ Infinite and infinity “.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2012
- 74. “Parallel lines are two lines, when
extended to infinity, they will not
meet nor will their distance between
them changes.”.
Extend to infinity
∞
NOTE: *God is the infinite being.
So by “infinite” it means, “limitless,
unending, without end, boundless,
beyond measure, etc.”

SO CONCEPTUALLY, WHEN WE

“INFINITE”, THERE CANNOT BE
MORE THAN ONE INFINITE BEING.

- 78. "And there is nothing that could be compared to Him“
(Qur’an: Al- Ikhlas: 112: 4)
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2012
- 79. The term “kufu” ( ) refers to any attempt at trying to do
a comparison by association with any other. This is utterly futile
since Allah is Unique.
Thus, even the "how" of His being "different" from everything else is
beyond the categories of human thought.
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2012
- 80. Therefore, the concern in Islamic theology is not in trying to
discern His Essence (Dzat), which is an impossibility due to
human imperfection and limitation.
But we are to know Him by way of His attributes (sifaat), names
(asma’) and other Signs (Aayat). Yet we qualify and must admit
to the imperfection of all our knowledge regarding Allah, (High
and Exalted is He from every defects and imperfection).
All Rights Reserved © Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. 2012
- 81. "(To know Allah) Think (and reflect) upon Allah's creation
(i.e. what He has created) and do not try to think in Allah
(His Essence: Dzat), for you will most certainly not be able
to comprehend it.“
