A fundamental question in scriptural analysis is whether the entity communicating through the Holy Quran speaks as the ultimate Supreme Being or as a revealer directing humanity toward a higher, distinct Creator. Throughout the Quranic text, passages shift between the speaker asserting his own divine authority and pointing toward an all-powerful, immortal Lord—frequently referred to in Arabic scriptures as Kabir Allah. By closely examining verses from Surah Al-Anbiya, Surah As-Sajdah, Surah Al-Furqan, and historical Hadith literature such as Fazail-e-Amaal, this article explores the scriptural distinctions between the revealer of the Quran and the Supreme Creator of the universe.
In the Quranic verses below, the God speaking in the Quran refers to his own worship, describes what he has created, and identifies himself as Lord:
Verse 92: This is your way (on which you have to remain firm); this is the only way and I am your Lord, so you should worship me.
Verse 30: Those infidels did not know that the sky and the earth were (initially) closed. Then We opened them both (with our power). And We made every living thing out of water. Do they still not have faith (even after hearing those things)?
Verse 31: And We created mountains on the ground so that the ground would not shake with those people on it. And We made wide paths on this land so that those people could reach their destinations (through them).
Verse 32: And We created (with our power) the sky (like) a roof which is safe (everlasting) and these people have turned a blind eye to the (existing) signs of this (in the sky).
In the verses below, the speaker of the Quran speaks of another God—the Creator who formed the entire creation—drawing a distinction between himself and that Supreme God:
Verse 4: It is Allah who created the skies and the earth and all that is in between them in six days and then sat down on the throne. Apart from Him, you have no one of your own, no helper, and no one for your advocacy in front of Him. Will you not come to your senses then?
Verse 255: Allah is that living eternal power who maintains the whole world. There is no God except Him. He neither sleeps nor does He feel sleepy. Whatever is on the earth and in the sky, belongs to Him. Who is the one, who can dare plead before Him without his permission? He is the knower of all things, discernible and indiscernible. Or that person can know on whom He showers grace. His kingdom is spread over the skies and the earth, and looking after them is not a tiring task for Him. He alone is one great and supreme power.
These verses clarify that Almighty (Kaadar) Allah—who controls the entire world and created the universe—is distinct from the entity imparting the knowledge of the Quran.
Fazail-e-Amaal is a widely referenced book containing selective Hadiths. Within the chapter Fazail-e-Zikr, verses 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 describe the glory of Kabir Allah:
Fazail-e-Zikr (Text 1): Ballat Kabir bullah aala mahadakup wala Allah kum tarkorun That you should glorify Kabir Allah for having guided you, and so that you can be grateful to Allah Taala (God).
Fazail-e-Zikr (Text 2): Allimool gaib basaahaadaati teel Kabir rulmutalu That Kabir Allah is the knower of all invisible and visible things; He is Supreme (the greatest) and is Majestic.
Fazail-e-Zikr (Text 3): Thaajaalika sahara laakum leetu Kabiru Bullah aala mahada kum baseeri reel mohsineen Similarly, Allah Jalla Shanuhu has made subject unto you so that you may glorify Kabir Allah, that He guided you to give good tidings (of Allah's blessings) to those who are sincere.
Fazail-e-Zikr (Text 6): Maaja kala rabbookum kalu lulhakka wahovar alliyu ull Kabir (When the angels get an order from Kabir Allah, they get terrified) so much so that when the nervousness fades away from their hearts, they ask each other, “What is the order of Kabir Parvardigar (the Nurturer of all)?” They say, “(So and so) right thing has been ordered.” Indeed, He (Kabir) is magnificent and majestic.
Fazail-e-Zikr (Text 7): Kul hukku moollahi heelalli lil Kabir The command belongs only to Kabir Allah, who is majestic, and of great status.
Fazail-e-Darood Sharif: Allahum-ma salli alaruhi Muhammadin fil arvahi allahum-ma salli ala ja-sa-di Muhammadin fil ajsadi allahum ma salli Alla Kabir (Kabir) muhammid fil Kiboori
Fazail-e-Zikr (Text 5): Huzoore Aqdas Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam states that there is nobody who may recite 'La ilaha-illallah' and for whom the doors of the skies do not open. In fact, this Kalima goes straight to the (arsh) highest point in the sky, provided Kabira keeps on protecting one from sins.
Commentary Note: What a virtue that this Kalima reaches Allah's throne, showing that even if recited alongside sins, benefit remains. Mulla Ali Qari states that saving oneself from Kabaair affects quickness of acceptance.
Another Hadith notes two Kalimas with distinct merit: the first is 'La ilaha illallah', and the second is 'Allahu Akbar' (Supreme God Kabir).
Fazail-e-Zikr: Subhanallahi alhamdu lillahi Allahu Akbaru (Kabir)
Fazail-e-Darood Sharif: Man salla ala ruhi muhammedin fil arvahi wa ala-ja-s dihi fil ajsaadi wa alaa Kabir (Kabir) hi fil kuboori 0
Text Passage: Wu innhal Kabir tun illa alal khashileenalljin yajunnoon annahum mulaaku ragbihin wa annahum ilaihi rajioon0
Verse 52 (Original Arabic): Fala Tutiyal Kafiran va Jahidhum Bihi Jihaadan Kabira. Translation: So (O Prophet) do not obey the disbelievers and strive against them with great effort with this (Quran's arguments/verses).
Verse 53: And He is the one who made the two rivers meet. One (its water) sweet quencher of thirst, and one salty and bitter, and made a strong barrier between both.
Verse 54: And it is He who created man from (a drop of) water, and then made him related by lineage (i.e. someone's son or daughter) and marriage (i.e. someone’s son-in-law, daughter-in-law). And your Lord Almighty is capable of doing everything.
Verse 55: And (Kafir = infidels) worship instead of Allah those who can neither benefit them nor harm them, and the infidels have turned their backs on (turned their faces away from) their Lord.
Verse 56: And (O Prophet) We have sent you to give good tidings and to warn (only about the punishment for sins).
Verse 57: Say (to these people) that I do not ask you for any payment on this (Allah's order). Yes, whoever wants to find a way to reach his Lord, may do so.
Verse 58 (Original Arabic): Wa tawakkal alla hayyillaji la yamootu va sabbih bihamdih and kafaa bihi bijunoobi ibaadih Khabira. Translation: And (O Prophet) have faith in that Jinda (Chaitanya) who is never going to die and keep on describing His glory with praise and He is very aware of the sins of his men.
Verse 59 (Original Arabic): Allaji khalaqassamaavaati valarj wa ma bainhuma phi sittati ayyamin summastwa allarshi ja arrahmaanu fasal bihi Khabiran. Translation: He who created the skies and the earth and whatever is in between them (everything) in six days and then sat down on the throne. (That Allah is very) merciful, then inquire about him from a Baakhabar (knowledgeable, one who has full knowledge).
Verse 52: The entity imparting the knowledge of the Quran tells Prophet Muhammad: "O Prophet! Do not listen to the disbelievers, because they do not believe in Kabir Allah. Counter them firmly based on the arguments given in the Quran."
Verses 53–57: The text describes the attributes of Kabir Allah as the Almighty Creator who formed the universe, created humanity from fluid, established relations, and separated fresh and salty waters. Worship of other deities is described as ineffective, and the Prophet is directed to convey this message without seeking financial reward.
Verse 58: The speaker directs Prophet Muhammad to place faith in Jinda (the Immortal God who encountered him at the Kaaba) and continue praising Him, as He knows and forgives the sins of His servants.
Verse 59: The verse states that Kabir Allah created the universe in six days and sat upon the throne. It concludes with the instruction to direct questions about this Supreme God to a Baakhabar (a fully knowledgeable Tatvdarshi Saint).
"Nabi Muhammad nahi bahisat sidhaana | peechche bhoola hai turkaana ||"
Through a close reading of Surah Al-Furqan (25:52–59), Surah As-Sajdah, and supporting Hadith commentary from Fazail-e-Amaal, the text presents a clear scriptural narrative: the giver of the Quran continuously highlights the supreme attributes, creation, and authority of Kabir Allah—a distinct, immortal Creator who created the universe in six days and sat on the throne. Crucially, by concluding in Surah Al-Furqan 25:59 with the directive to seek out a Baakhabar (a Tatvdarshi Saint) for full knowledge of this Supreme Lord, the scripture itself indicates that complete spiritual understanding requires guidance beyond the surface text, opening the path to true divine realization.
