SERMON 210
The greatness of Allah and the
creation of the Universe
It is through the strength of Allah's greatness and
His subtle power of innovation that He made solid dry earth out of the water of the
fathomless, compact and dashing ocean. Then He made from it layers and separated them into
seven skies after they had been joined together. So, they became stationary at His command
and stopped at the limit fixed by Him. He so made the earth that it is born by deep blue,
surrounded and suspended water which is obedient to His command and has submitted to His
awe while its flow has stopped due to fear of Him.
He also created high hills, rocks of stones and
lofty mountains. He put them in their positions and made them remain stationary. Their
peaks rose into the air while their roots remained in the water. In this way He raised the
mountains above the plains and fixed their foundations in the vast expanse wherever they
stood. He made their peaks high and made their bodies lofty. He made them like pillars for
the earth and fixed them in it like pegs. Consequently, the earth became stationary;
otherwise it might bend with its inhabitants or sink inwards with its burden, or shift
from its positions.
Therefore, glorified is He who stopped it after the
flowing of its waters and solidified it after the watery state of its sides. In this way
He made it a cradle for His creatures and spread it for them in the form of a floor over
the deep ocean which is stationary and does not move and is fixed and does not flow.
Severe winds move it here and there and clouds draw up water from it.
Verily in this there is a lesson unto him who
feareth (Allah) (Qur'an, 79:26)
