How World Is Portrayed in Divine Worldview
The divine worldview has a special view of the universe and verses of the Quran have portrayed different aspects of it. Some of these verses are as follows:
- Creation is based on divine mercy and favor. “He has written for Himself mercy.” (Surah Al-An’am, Verse 12)
- The universe is good and has been created in the best way. “It is He Who created everything in the best manner.” (Surah As-Sajdah, Verse 7)
- The universe is always engaged in Tasbeeh (glorifying God) and is subservient to God. “All are obedient to His Will.” (Surah Ar-Rum, Verse 26)
“All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify God.” (Surah At-Taghabun, Verse 1)
Their Tasbeeh is with awareness: “Have you not considered that all that is between the heavens and the earth glorifies God and that the birds spread their wings in the air to glorify God? He knows everyone's prayers and praising; God has absolute knowledge of what they do.” (Surah An-Nur, Verse 41)
- What one does, whether small or big, has reward or punishment. “Whoever has done an atom's weight of good, will see it and whoever has done an atom's weight of evil, will also see it.” (Surah Al-Zilzal, Verses 7-8)
- The end of the world is returning to God. “To your Lord will all things eventually return.” (Surah An-Najm, Verse 42)
“And to Him all things proceed.” (Surah Ghafir, Verse 3)
One who has a divine worldview will never feel lonely but sees himself to be under the Wilayat (guardianship) of God. “Allah is the Guardian of those who believe.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 257)
He has a clear view: “He will grant you a distinction.” (Surah Al-Anfal, Verse 29)
There is a way out of problems. “He will appoint for him a way out,” (Surah At-Talaq, Verse 2)
His path is clear: “And that you worship Me? Surely, that is the Straight Path.” (Surah Yaseen, Verse 61)
He has a divine leader: “Say: I am only a human like you, revealed to me is that your God is One God.” (Surah Al-Kahf, Verse 110)
He considers mankind to be God’s viceroy on earth. “I am placing on the earth a caliph.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 30)
He considers man to have honor and dignity, does not follow false deities and his deeds have divine color: “We have honored the children of Adam.” (Surah Al-Isra, Verse 70)
“And he who rejects false deities” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 256)
“(We take our) color from Allah, and who is better than Allah at coloring. We are His worshippers.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 138)
One who has divine worldview considers all goodness from God bad things from himself: “Whatever good reaches you, it is from Allah, and whatever evil reaches you, it is from yourself.” (Surah An-Nisa, Verse 79)
A monotheistic person believes that what he has done for himself will be gone and what he has done for God will remain. “Whatever you possess is transient and whatever is with God is everlasting.” (Surah An-Nahl, Verse 96)
