God has sworn on the managers of the affairs in verse 5 of Surah Naziaat “And by those angels who arrange to the commands of their Lord” there is this famous interpretation by the commentators that it refers to the angels who do manage the affairs of this world. Isn’t this against the oneness of God?
The answer to this question is very clear: If the angels do this in their individual capacity then it is not compatible with the belief in Oneness but we know that merely obey the commands of their Lord and are responsible for it under His authority. It is like the causes that have an effect due to the commands of God.
This is known to many a scholar and that is why they find no incompatibility between God being the Lord of the Worlds and the Lord of All things and the angels managing His affairs on Hi command. It is the same when God declares Himself in the Qura’n to be the Lord, and sustainer.
The verse 6 of Surah HUD says, “And no moving creature is there on earth but that his provision is due from God”
In verse 233 of Surah Baqarah the book says, “For those parents who desire to complete the term of suckling , but the father of child shall bear the cost of the mother’s food and clothing on a reasonable basis.” The father of the infant is duty bound to provide the sustenance and clothing to the mother during the time she suckles it even if she has been divorced.
It is a proven fact that there is no incompatibility in calling an infant’s father his sustainer and calling God also as sustainer because the first is just temporary and dependent on God while the other is the ever living Sustainer.
Verse 69 Of Surah Nahl says, “Wherein is healing for men”
Verse 80 of Surah Shuara says, “And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.” Or in other words it is God who cures me when I fall sick.
All these verse speak of the causes and their effects. The issue begins from an uncertain cause and reaches the absolute cause who is the reason for all reasons and all reasons depend on Him for their effects.
