All acts in the Universe…
Each deed or effect shows that its Author produces all deeds or effects. Each act of invention proves that all acts of invention belong to its Inventor. Each Name manifesting in creation points out that all Names manifesting in the universe belong to the same Being to Whom it also belongs
This means that each thing proves Divine Unity and is a window opening to knowledge of God. Each deed or effect, especially living existents, is a miniature of the universe, a seed of creation, and a fruit of this planet.Given this, the Being Who created that miniature, seed, or fruit necessarily created the universe, for the One Who created the fruit must be the One Who created the tree. Thus, just as each work demonstrates that its Author is the same Being Who produces all other works, each act shows that its Agent is the Doer of all other acts. We say this because each act of creation shows itself to be a tip indicating the Law of Creativity, which is so comprehensive that it encompasses everything in the universe. So, the same Being is the Agent of that single act of creation and all other acts with the same function depending on that universal Law.
The Being Who revives an insect after its hibernation also creates all insects and other animals and quickens Earth for spring. Whoever whirls particles also moves creation in a continuous succession and causes the sun and it’s planets to move, for a law is like a string stretching throughout the uni-verse, and deeds and effects are arranged along it.
Each manifested Name proves, just as each work or act does, that all Names belong to its Owner. This is because these Names are like concentric spheres, one within the other, interrelated and mutually supportive, mutually perfecting and adorning each others work. For example, when the Name the All-Life-Giver manifests Itself by giving life to something, the Names the All-Wise, All-Munificent, All-Compassionate, and All-Provider also manifest at the same instant, respectively, to arrange the living thing’s body with wisdom, embellish it with munificence, prepare its needs with compassion, and provide its necessary sustenance for maintenance in ways unexpected by itself. Thus the One Who owns the Name the All-Life-Giving also owns the Name the All-Wise, all-encompassing and radiating in the universe; and the Name the All-Compassionate, one training creation with compassion;and the Name the All-Provider, generously nourishing all living creatures.
Each Name, act, and work is such a proof of Divine Oneness and a seal of Divine Unity that each demonstrates that all words (creatures) written on the pages of the universe and the lines of ages are inscriptions of its Author’s Pen.
O God, bestow blessings on him who said: “The best of what I and the preceding Prophets said is: ‘There is no deity but God,’”and on his Family and Companions, and grant them peace.
