y Him Who knows the unseen –<br />

from Whom is not hidden<br />

the least little atom<br />

in the Heavens <strong>or</strong> on earth:<br />

n<strong>or</strong> is there anything less<br />

than that, <strong>or</strong> greater, but<br />

is in the Rec<strong>or</strong>d Perspicuous.’”<br />

[Al-Qur’an 34:3] 1<br />

This verse also refers to the Omni<strong>science</strong> of God,<br />

His knowledge of all things, hidden <strong>or</strong> apparent. It<br />

then goes further <strong>and</strong> says that God is aware of<br />

everything, including what is smaller <strong>or</strong> bigger than<br />

the atom. Thus the verse clearly shows that it is<br />

possible f<strong>or</strong> something smaller than the atom to<br />

exist, a fact discovered only recently by <strong>modern</strong><br />

<strong>science</strong>.<br />
