The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu
alaihi wa-sallam) said:
“Every child is born in the
state of Fitrah (i.e. a
Muslim). Then his parents
make him a Jew, Christian or
a Zoroastrian.”[1]
It is against the conviction
of natural pure Fitrah to
believe that all creation is
Allah, which also includes
filth and dirty places. No
sane Muslim would ever
accept such corrupt and
immoral belief about His
Lord, except him who has
lost his senses or his
Fitrah has been corrupted,
as the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu
alaihi wa-sallam) stated:
“…Then his parents make him
a Jew, Christian or a
Zoroastrian.”
Even a simple-minded Hindu
in India remember the Lord
as, “Uper-wala” or ‘the One
Who is above’. The
disbelieving Pharaoh too was
naturally inclined to this
belief, “…The Pharaoh said,
‘O Haamaan, build a lofty
place for me so that I may
attain the ways of (reaching
the) Heavens for me to
behold the God of Moosa…”[2]
Another manifest proof that
Allah is above the Seven
Heavens is the miraculous
event of Isra wal-Meraj,
during which Allah’s
Messenger (sallallahu alaihi
wa-sallam) was taken above
the Seven Heavens to meet
Allah, the Exalted. If Allah
is present everywhere and in
everything, (Na’oodho billah);
the virtues and wisdoms
behind the journey of Meraj
would prove to be
insignificant and worthless!
