In the sixth verse the issue is not on lord’ but on the management of the affairs which is very close to the meaning of Lordship but not completely in its inherent meaning. The book addresses the holy Messenger and says, “Say, “Who provides you with sustenance from the sky and the earth?” Your life is attached to the life giving rays that reach you from the sun; the life giving droplets of rain that come from the sky and spread life, and the gentle wind which is pleasing to the soul has filled the air around you; tell me who has provided all these things for you?

The vegetation that grows out from earth and you get your cereals and fruits from them; then there are the costly minerals that you extract from the bowels of the earth. Who give you all these? Do you get this sustenance from the idols?

Then it gives attention to the human body and mentions two important parts through which humans connect themselves to this world and which help him gain knowledge. It says, “Who controls your hearing and your sight?”

After discussing the universe the book now speaks about death and life: “Who controls your hearing and sight? Brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living?  Is it the work of the idols? At the end of the verse three imp9rtant issues about sustenance from heavens and earth, ears, eyes, death and life have been discussed. The verse concludes, “Who administers all the affairs?”

It is evident that if the idolaters think about these issues they will find that they have no answers:  “They will answer, (It is none but) God” or it is God who looks after and manages the affairs of the universe.

The verse then addresses the Messenger, make this your base and further your argument with them, say, “Then why don’t you fear God?” or why don’t you fear God for you travel the path of idolatry?”

In reality all of man’s material and spiritual sustenance, and the management of the affairs of the worlds and the universe, the material sustenance from the earth and the spiritual sustenance from the heavens, or the knowledge through the senses, intellectual and oft-repeated verbal and written have been mentioned in this verse. There are other factors also when it comes to the management of the affairs of the universe or the worlds.

Who can claim that these weak beings or the useless things like the idols can create sustenance and management the affairs of the universe? The Oneness in lordship is not a complicated matter so much so that if the idolaters only reflected things would be clear to them also.

Declaring God to be the owner of the eyes is a hint about the creation of man and He is declared to be the creator because He creates the system and manages the affairs.

From this collection of verses and from, similar verses of the Qura’n which are numerous , Qura’n declares God to be the creator, owner and manager of everything exiting in the earth and the evens, of the celestial throne and the creator of the present and previous population of mankind. It very clearly states that there is no other Lord God in the entire universe.

 

Oneness means to eradicate the intermediaries.God is the Sustainer of the worlds.
