The Quran says:
"In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the ocean with cargoes beneficial to man; in the water which God sends down from the sky and with which he revives the earth after its death, dispersing over it all manner of beasts; in the movements of the winds, and in the clouds driven between earth and sky: surely in these there are signs for people who understand (2:163-164).
" The universe, stretching out to infinity on all sides, is a sublime testament to God's immanence. The very existence of an incredibly vast universe is proof of there being a Creator. And that there is only one Creator and Sustainer is testified to by the complete harmony and correspondence of all the objects in existence, despite their multiplicity.
So many of these things having been tamed to meet human requirements shows that man's Creator is a God of unbounded compassion; even before man came into existence, God had already provided for all his needs. Moreover, the usefulness inherent in so many of our earthly phenomena is a silent, but certain indicator of the universe having been consciously planned as a purposive entity. A sign of the limitless extent of God's power is the infinite variety of animal species all thriving on the same nutrients and water, which He provided. Another sign of his power is the inevitability with which each death is succeeded by a life. Life and freshness come to lifeless things because that is how God causes nature to function. If death in the universe is only a temporary phase that is because God wills it to be so.
Man's God is only One God. He alone is worthy of becoming the centre of man's attention. Our existence and all the things we have been provided with on earth are attributable solely to God, the source of all divine blessings. Man must make Him his object of worship in the real sense and must eternally associate with Him all his hopes and feelings.
Believing in one true God enables man to establish a direct link between God and man. This makes man humble and modest instead of being proud and arrogant. It is because belief in one Great God implies that man is His humble servant and that modesty alone befits him as he is utterly dependent on Him. Submission to one God results in individual freedom and dignity, for, all human beings become equal and all deserve our respect. There is only one God and all of us are servants of the same God. Belief in the oneness of God helps individuals to live in unity with others. Belief in one Creator gives a sense of oneness with all creation.
Belief in one God gives one the confidence, for; he trusts in God Almighty alone and believes that nothing can happen unless God wills it. Life and death are entirely in His hands. He remains content because he believes that power, wealth and success come from God alone. He gives them to whom He wants and takes them away from whom he wants. Belief in the one God, thus brings about a unique blend of submission to God and human dignity and freedom.
