It is He, Allah SWT, who is holding the sky aloft and keeping the earth in place, not some property of nature [tabi'a mina't-taba'i'], not some astronomical configuration [tali' mina't-tawali'], not a darkness that looms, and not a light that gleams. He is:
* Hadir. Present to all things through cognition [ 'ilm]
* Shahid. Witness to all things without physical contact
* 'Aziz. Almighty
* Qahir. Irresistible
* Hakim. Governing
* Qadir. Omnipotent
* Rahim. Merciful
* Ghafir. Forgiver of sins
* Satir. Veiler of faults
* Mu'izz. Ennobling
* Nasir. Supportive
* Ra'uf. Kind
* Khaliq. Creator
* Fatir. Maker
* Awwal. First
* Akhir. Last
* Zahir. Outwardly Manifest
* Batin. Inwardly Concealed
* Fard Ma'bud. Uniquely Worthy of Worship
* Hayyun la yamut. Living, never to die
* Azaliyyun la yafut. Existing from All Eternity, never to pass away
* Abadiyyu'l-Malakut. Eternal Ruler of the Kingdom
* Sarmadiyyu'l-Jabarut. Everlasting Lord of the Dominion
* Qayyumun la yanam. Self-Sustaining, without ever taking rest
* 'Azizun la yudam. Almighty, never to suffer any harm
* Mani'un la yuram. Impregnable, never to be overcome.
Thus to Him belong the Splendid Names [al-Asma' al-'Izam] and all the Noble Talents [al-Mawahib al-Kiram].
He has decreed that all human beings [anam] shall enjoy but a fleeting existence, for He has said:
Everyone who dwells upon the earth must pass away, yet the Face of your Lord still abides, in Majesty and Glory. (Glorious Quran 55:26,27). - Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani.
