<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
tion, it is not possible to talk of the concepts of past and present.<br />
Everything, all people, all living beings live simultaneously. All<br />
ages, minutes, seconds and even all days, hours and moments occur<br />
at the same time. Though man is unable to see this due to the limited<br />
capacity of his sensations, this fact is evident. In the section "Relativity<br />
of the Qur'an", many examples were given to explain the difference<br />
between the time man is bound by and time in the Sight of<br />
Allah. Allah draws our attention to this issue in the following verse:<br />
A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years in the way<br />
you count. (Surat Al-Hajj: 47)<br />
Allah, the al-Hasib, knows in detail the account of things people<br />
do throughout their lives. If one remembers that nothing that is experienced<br />
and that exists ever disappears, one will have a better grasp<br />
of this attribute of Allah. That Allah knows everything, every detail of<br />
every event that is experienced is stressed in the following verse:<br />
Truly Allah has knowledge of the Hour and sends down abundant<br />
rain and knows what is in the womb. And no self knows what it<br />
will earn tomorrow and no self knows in what land it will die.<br />
Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surah Luqman: 34)<br />
This is the main reason why believers appreciate the glory of<br />
Allah, submit to Him and put their trust in Him. His Majesty<br />
simply reminds one how prone one is to weakness and how<br />
one is in need of Him. They are aware how weak they<br />
are next to His might. This superior moral attribute displayed<br />
by believers is referred to in the Qur'an:<br />
Say: 'Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has<br />
ordained for us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the<br />
believers should put their trust.' (Surat at-<br />
Tawba: 51)<br />
Say: "I possess no power to harm or help<br />
myself except as Allah wills." (Surah<br />
Yunus: 49)
