In the vast tapestry of the universe, Allah Almighty is known as Al Awwal (The First) and Al Akhir (The Last). These divine attributes signify that Allah is the beginning and the end of everything, encompassing the entirety of existence from the inception to the culmination. This concept not only highlights His eternal nature but also His ultimate wisdom and control over all creation. Al Awwal: The First Allah’s attribute as Al Awwal signifies that He is the origin of everything. Nothing precedes Him, and He is the source from which all creation emerges. The Quran beautifully encapsulates this idea in Surah Al-A'raf (7:54): "Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds." This ...
