Allah is the origin

بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ

Badi-'us-samawati wal-'ardz:

"The Originator of the heavens and the earth!"

(The Qur'an 2.117)

"He is the origin of everything," added Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

(Chaitanya-charitamrita, Madhya-lila, 18.191)

Now, Mahaprabhu explains that Allah is the origin of everything. Everything comes from Allah. Nothing exists independently of Him. He is the Supreme Origin of creation. Here the origin is referred to all life and energies - living energy, or living beings and inert energy. The origin of everything by definition has no origin but always exists. Everything originates from Him; but He never looses His equilibrium and completeness. He is inexhaustible and complete.

Thus it is propounded in the sura "Al-Baqarah", or "The Cow" of the Holy Qur'an:

Badi-'us- samawati wal-'arz / wa 'iza qaza 'amranfa - 'inama yaqulu lahu "Kun" fayakun: "The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He (Allah) decrees a thing, He says to it only: 'Be!' And it is." (2.117)

Ustad Abdullah Yusuf Ali writes in his commentary:

"The materialists might say that primeval matter was eternal; other things, i. e. the forms and shapes as we see them now, were called into being at some time or other, and will perish. When they perish, they dissolve into primeval matter again, which stands as the base of all existence. We go further back. We say that if we postulate such primeval matter, it owes its origin itself to Allah." (9, p. 47-48)

Next, the sura "Al-An'am", or "Cattle" states:

Badi-'us-samaawaati wal-'arz . . . Wa khalaqa kulla shay' / wa Huwa bi-kulli shay-'in 'Aliim: "Wonderful Originator of the heaven and the earth. . . . He created all things, and He has knowledge of all things." (6.101)

Here the word "bada'a" is used as in (2.117) for the creation of the heavens and the earth, and "khalaqa" is used for creation of all things. Bada'a goes back to the very primal beginning, as far as we can conceive it.

It is stated in the sura "An-Nisa", or "The Women":

Qul kullum-min 'indillah: "Say: All things are from Allah." (4.78)

If we look to the ultimate Cause of all things, all things come from Allah. But if we look to the proximate cause of things, our own merit is so small, that we can hardly claim credit for good ourselves with any fairness. (Commentary by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, 9, p. 236)

In the ancient scriptures it is said that only the Lord alone exists, and all other's existence depend upon Him. He is the generating origin for everyone's existential capacity. Allah is the origin of all emanations. Everything is born out of Him. He is the source of creation. God is the origin of whatever we find. Nothing can manifest itself in this material world which is not in God. Everything flows from Him only. He is the supreme origin and everything is emanating from Him. He is without origin, He has no beginning, middle or end. He is the origin of all living entities and the resting place of everything. God is the origin of all creations, all features, all auspicious opportunities, all austerities and penances, all energies and all manifestations. Those who know that Allah is the origin of everything, they can understand the process of creation. God is the origin of the material senses and sense objects, of the subtle and gross material ingredients. The origin of all life is the effulgence of the Supreme Lord. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes.
