78 – AL MUTA_AALI – THE EXALTED
Allah is Al Muta_aali. Al Muta_aali is the Exalted. Allah is the Exalted. Exalted means dignified or elevated. Let us look at an example from the Quraan:
8 Allah does know what every female bears by how much the wombs fall short of completion
and that of which they exceed. And there is measure with Him of everything.
9 He knows the unseen and the seen, the Great the Exalted. [Quraan: Ar Raad, Chapter 13]
We are told that Allah knows what every female bears and the time taken for the completion of the offspring. Everything is measured and known to Allah. Allah also knows the unseen and the seen. That is Allah knows everything hidden and everything manifest. Since it is Allah who created both the hidden and the visible worlds and everything in them, then how can He not know everything! Therefore Allah has measured our lifespan as to how many years we are to live. Allah has measured our breaths as to how many breaths we are going to breathe. Allah has measured our sustenance as to how much food we are going to eat on this earthly life. Allah knows how many other lives are going to affect our life and likewise how many other lives we as individuals are going to affect. All that knowledge is with Allah because He knows the invisible and the visible.
Therefore Allah is the Exalted in the sense that He knows everything about everything. Allah’s knowledge encompasses everything. Our knowledge is defective in relation to Allah’s knowledge. Our knowledge is insignificant where as Allah’s knowledge knows no limits. If Allah’s knowledge knew its limits, then it would be limited! Therefore, Allah’s knowledge is unlimited, without limitations, so it knows no limits. Allah’s knowledge is without boundaries encompassing everything. Therefore Allah is the Exalted in terms of knowledge. We are also told in the above reference that: There is measure with Him of everything. Allah’s knowledge
78 – AL MUTA_AALI
59 With Him are the keys of the unseen. None knows them but He. He knows whatever
there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but He knows it, there is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry but is (inscribed) in a clear record.
60 It is He who takes your souls by night and has knowledge of all that you have done by
day. By day He raises you up again, that a term appointed be fulfilled. In the end to Him will be your return then will He show you the truth of all that you did.
[Quraan: Al Anaam, Chapter 6]
There is not a leaf that falls without Allah’s knowledge. If we look at the number of trees in the world we would not be able count them. Then how can we count the number of leaves on them? But Allah’s knowledge is limitless without bounds and aware of every leaf on every tree. Then the next example given in the above reference says it all, that Allah is aware of every grain. The grain can be a grain of sand. Who can count the grains of sand other than Allah? Therefore Allah’s knowledge also knows what each one of us does and we will be shown the truth of what we did. May Allah guide us all so that we refrain from what is forbidden and remain on the right path all the time. Aameen.
Allah Al Muta_aali the Exalted created us from Turaab dust and gave us Aql sense to seek Him the One whose Name is Allah . We cannot see Allah but we certainly can know Allah. The way to know Allah is with the Kalimaat: La ilaha ill Allah There is no god only Allah, not just with the tongue but with the Knowledge that He has given us to understand what we ourselves are saying when we say La ilaha ill Allah. May Allah enlighten the Muslims so that we the Muslims may exalt the community of Prophet Muhammad above all other communities by our deeds and actions. In so doing may Allah exalt our Master Sayyidina Muhammad to an even higher rank than now. Aameen.
