The-concept-of-Allah-in-Islam

In the Holy Qura'n, we read: "Whoever joins himself (to another) in a good cause shall have ashare thereof, and whoever joins himself (to another) in an evil cause shall be responsible forit, and Allah controls all things" (Qura'n, 4:85)."Al-Muqeet" is derived from the root noun qoot, sustenance, the food that sustains the humanbody. Ibn `Abbas has said that al-Muqeet is al-Muqtadir, the Omnipotent. Al-Muqeet createsall beings, creating likewise the means for their sustenance. He provides ways for them tohave access to such means of sustenance; He has made accessible to them what is necessaryand what is a luxury. He sustains the bodies and the souls. He has taken upon Himself tosustain His creation. Al-Muqeet hears the silent supplication and responds to it and knows theaffliction and removes it. "Al-Muqeet" conveys the same meaning as that of "al-Hafeez," theProtector; so, He protects and sustains the living beings.Reference to qoot exists throughout the Holy Qura'n. For example, Allah has said thefollowing in Surat Fussilat: "And He made in it mountains above its surface, and He blessedtherein and made therein its foods, in four periods: alike for the seekers" (Qura'n, 41:10). Hesustains the hearts through knowledge, so He is al-Razzaq but in a more specific way, forsustenance includes both food and non-food items. Qoot is food sufficient to keep someone'sbody alive. It may also mean the One Who takes full control over something or someone,Who is Capable of managing his/her affairs. Al-Muqeet Alone is Capable and Knowledgeableof everything. One of the good manners inspired by this Attribute is that when food is broughtto you, you must recognize al-Muqeet Whose sustenance is quite spacious and encompassing,through Whose Grace are you provided with food. Such a recognition will cause the light ofthis Attribute to lift you spiritually. God will then make you the treasure-house for Hisservants, enabling you to sustain others, teach them knowledge, and lead them to the ever-Living, the Sustainer.Do not seek the achievement of all your wishes and desires except from Allah, for He surelyholds the keys to the treasures of His sustenance. According to one qudsi tradition, Allah saidto Moses, "O Moses! Ask Me with regard to everything, including your shoe strings and thesalt for your pot."41. "Al-Haseeb"Allah has said in the Holy Qura'n, "... those who deliver the messages of Allah and fear Himand not fear anyone save Allah, and Allah suffices for taking account (ofeverything)" (Qura'n, 33:39).Al-Haseeb is one of Allah's Attributes, and it is often explained as the One Who rewards. Itsmeaning may also be understood as the One Who provides sufficiently, Who grants whateverHis servants need; He is the Master upon Whom all rely; there is no haseeb besides Him, andall His creation are in need of His help and support. It is also said that al-haseeb is the One to
