God Encompasses Everything

God is the light of the heavens and the earth. Every light that is seen, be it high or low, whether it belongs to souls or pertains to bodies, or be it substantive, whether hidden or evident, be it subjective or objective, is a mere bounty of His Grace. is is a sign which indicates that the bounties of Allah encompass everything. He is the source of all Grace and is the ultimate cause of every light, the Fountainhead of all mercies. His Being is the support of the universe and is the refuge of all, high and low. He it is Who brought everything out of the darkness of nothingness and bestowed upon everything the mantle of being. No being other than He exists by itself or is eternal. All other beings are recipients of His grace. Earth and heaven, man and beast, stones and trees, souls and bodies, all are sustained by His Grace.¹
