For clarity and simplicity, how can the creation instruct the creator?
"Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter."
We are challenged by Allah, so that we may realize Allah's power, by realizing who can tell Allah what to do? If the whole of this of world were to scream as high as they could, or if the were to go to the highest level, they can never tell Allah what to do. At many times, when people are angry, they say to a person whatever they wish. And those with poor beliefs, pay those so called "religious leaders", in order to those so called religious individuals to earn money from people.
We are reminded by Allah, that between us and Allah, there is no intercessor who can tell Allah what to do. So that we may not be fooled by these so called pious and religious individuals.
What we learn from the Prophet Muhammed, in the book of Bukhari and Muslim, informs us how his realization was in regards to this matter. None can stop what Allah has granted, and none may give that which Allah has stopped. No status may help us in the hereafter, except the realization of the fears and controls of Allah upon us.
What does this mean? Verily, we can realize a very small thing, can anyone come and tell Allah to change the time of sunrise, to make it 6:02 instead of 6:00? Anyone can tell precisely what time the sun will rise and what time it will set. Whatever system has already been set by Allah, no scientist nor pious man can advise Allah how to run his system. Or request upon Allah to remove someone's sins, or die for someone's sins. It is all up to the all-mighty, in order forgive an individual or not.
This proves and certifies by the creator, that no one can seek any intercession through mankind. Regardless if it may be any prophet of the past, or any pious man. Nobody can ever tell Allah what to do, that which has been already set by him, regardless if it may be any prophet of the past, pious person, or any other scientist, or developer. For clarity and simplicity, how can the creation instruct the creator?
Allah
challenges all human beings, regardless of our intelligence, status, or piety,
who is there who could suggest Allah what to do? Every breath we inhale and
exhale is by Allah’s mercy, regardless of our status, or who we may be.
We
perceive Allah to be like us, we develop habits by seeking intercession from
each other, and by advising each other to show our intelligence. These things
come from our habits and culture. And we are under the impression, that by
seeking advice from each other, we are attaining success. The real success is
given to us only by Allah, and how is it given to us will be explained in the
next paragraphs.
Allah is not like us, as we are fully dependant on learning from each other, and we require constant advice from each other. Or we need to study in schools and universities, so that we may learn of our future. We learn and educate ourselves by getting advice from each other, our professors, teachers, and from text books. And we do so that we may become smart and have the ability to function in our field in the right manners.
"And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills."
Allah tells us of his controls he has on mankind. How is our status and intelligence controlled by Allah?
We
try and attribute intelligence, cleverness, and smartness to ourselves. Lets
realize, how are we controlled by him?
As we know, our brain is a piece flesh. Who is the one who gives it power, to think right and make right actions ordering our body part to function correctly?
When our eyes see, the signal goes to our brain, and it immediately tells us what to do. This applies in any situation, such as driving a car, or moving our hands and legs in our daily use, admiring our things which we use in our daily use items, or our feelings.
Who is keeping the unseen record of all the memories we have stored over a period of years?
This
is sitting in a piece flesh and blood, and for thousands of years has been
working accurately. Who reminds us, except Allah, in our memory bank to
understand what we own, and who is our son, daughter, brother or sister. Or in
our current issues functioning, where do we get signals so that we may perform
our jobs accurately to pay our bills and have the best facilities in our lives.
This proves the magnificent power and controls of the most high, our eternal
provider Allah. Sometimes when we forget something, and all of a sudden we
remember that thing, and say “oh know I remember..” These are only language
phrases, but in reality Allah is the one who reminds us and allows us to jog our
memory to remember the smallest to the largest thing.
All
of us know, that we have no idea what we are going to think in the next second, minute,
or hour. So we may ask ourselves, where are these signals in our brains coming
from? So that we may work in a right manner in our daily issues.
Lets
realize another misguidance and misunderstandings we have regarding our creator:
We
forget that our scientists, researchers, and developers are born from the same
cell as any dummy or retarded person would be born from. With the mercy of Allah
we are born with our brains working correctly.
During
their research, when they start to reach a successful post in research, they
then all of a sudden say “Oh, I found this!” He really did not find
anything, because he does not know what he will think in the next hour, or even
in the next minute.
Allah
tells us that he has given us a little knowledge and attraction in our world.
However we may realize our ignorance, we appreciate all worldly creations,
who’s knowledge actually came from Allah. We never look to the universe or
ourselves, and realize what is the source who is allowing our brains to think
precisely, our eyes to see color precisely, or our ears to hear any variation of
sound precisely?

associate as partners with Him. (59:23 from Quran)

Him belong the Best Names[] . All that is in the heavens and the
