Question:
You say that God watches everything we do and that there is only one God for the entire world. In that case, if one person commits a crime in one place and another commits a crime somewhere else, how can a single God monitor everything at once?
– S.A. Syed Ameer Ali, Chidambaram
Answer:
The basis of this question lies in the belief that God is like us and can only achieve what we humans can.
If God is limited to what we can do, then we do not need such a God. Such a being would be suitable as a human, not as God.
If our two children are playing mischief in a room, we can watch them both and observe their actions simultaneously.
For God, this entire universe is smaller than a single room.
It is astonishing that we can believe that the United States can monitor multiple locations in Afghanistan through satellites, yet question the ability of the Creator of the entire universe to do much more than that.
