Verse 41 of Surah Fatir: In fact, Allah is the One who made the heavens and the earth steadfast and if they were to be shaken, then none other than Allah has the power to keep them steady. Surely Allah is Forbearing, Forgiving. Interpretation of the verse: That is, this infinite universe is established only because Allah has established it. No angel , jinn , prophet or saint is holding it. Far from holding the world, these helpless slaves do not have the power to hold on to themselves. Everyone is dependent on the Almighty God for his birth and permanence. To think of any of them as having a share in the attributes and powers of God's sovereign authority is anything but foolishness and deception . That is to say, such a great arrogance is being made in the sight of Allah and yet He is not taking swift action in punishing , it is a sign of His mere tolerance and forgiveness.
