What is meant by "Allah Ta'ala is the god of everything"?
Question
Allah Ta'ala is god of everything, so when we say he is god of everything, then in what sense does it mean? As a creator of everything or sustainer? What is the right aqeedah?
Answer
Allah Ta’ala is the creator of every creation as well as the sustainer of every creation.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
