THE PROOFS OF GOD’S KNOWLEDGE I AM CLOSER TO YOU THAN YOURSELF

It is because of the great importance that the Qura’n has given to this issue about the discernment of God that it brings mankind so close to God that he believes Him to be present everywhere. The realization without learning about His knowledge will be futile and of no use. Since it affects us individually and collectively this issue as an ideology has a close connection with the study of the world. Since the knowledge of God is unlimited the following factors come to the fore:

When the greatest entity in existence is known to watch over the human deeds it gives rise to the urge to do good deeds and to save oneself from evil. The Qura’n says, “God knows all the temptations of the heart and is closer to mankind then its jugular vein. He is well aware of your disclosed and hidden traits. He knows the amount of the rain drops, the number of leaves, and the quantum of seeds sown in the earth. Nothing in the heavens or on earth is hidden from Him. (All this information is present in the verses quoted above) Verse 17 of Surah Isra says, “And your Lord is sufficient, with regard to the sins of His servants, knowing and seeing.” All these verses warn mankind in the harshest language thereby creating an atmosphere of fear and hope so that a person watches his deeds carefully knowing that God is watching his actions.

We should also pay attention to the fact that our guardian and watcher is also the one who bestows His favors. He tells us, “Why do you disobey despite getting all that your hearts desire?”

This continuous observance and watching creates an aura of hope in the human heart that he is not alone in hardship, because the watcher is He who is aware of the esoteric and exoteric secrets and problems; He is also the authority, kind and merciful. This feeling creates a sense of strength in man and gives him the courage to face the severest of hardships.

This is a hint about the vastness of God’s knowledge, the vastness of the universe and the universe of creation with all its secrets. This is the best instigation for man to educate himself and ponder on things.
