Q
How do Islamic texts describe the relationship between Allah and His creation?
A
A Jew came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Muhammad! Allah will hold the heavens on a Finger, and the
mountains on a Finger, and the trees on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and then He will
say, ‘I am the King.’ ” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then
recited:–
‘No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to him….(39.67) `Abdullah added: Allah’s
Apostle smiled (at the Jew’s statement) expressing his wonder and belief in what was said.
