The Attributes of Allah – The Wise Planner in His Management

The lecture revolves around God’s wondrous wisdom in managing everything in creation and human life. God is not only the Creator but also the loving Planner who coordinates all details of existence with wisdom beyond human understanding. Nothing happens by chance; everything occurs at the right time according to His good plan.

God the Planner in Creation

His Holiness explains that God created the universe with precise and amazing order. He prepared everything necessary for man before creating him — air, water, light, and food. Even animals were provided for according to their environment: the polar bear with thick fur and the horse with thin skin. God also arranged nature wisely, such as the vine tree that shades man in summer and lets the sun warm him in winter.

God’s Providence in Human Life

The Pope explains that God directs each person’s life uniquely, even allowing trials to serve good purposes. He gives biblical examples like Joseph, who was sold and imprisoned but later became ruler of Egypt, and Moses, who was raised in Pharaoh’s palace and later led God’s people.

God’s Plan in Salvation and Redemption

His Holiness meditates on God’s amazing plan in the story of the Incarnation and redemption, showing how God gradually prepared the world to understand salvation—from the old sacrifices and symbols to the coming of Christ at the fullness of time, after preparing the Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, the universal language, and the paths for the Gospel’s spread.

Divine Planning in Repentance and Holiness

The Pope recounts stories of saints like David, Augustine, Peter, and Paul, explaining how God used their weaknesses and falls to teach humility. Likewise, in the story of Mary the Egyptian, God wondrously arranged her repentance and salvation.

A Call to Trust in Divine Providence

His Holiness concludes by calling for complete faith in God’s plan, no matter how difficult things seem, because all things work together for good to those who love God. He encourages prayer from the heart saying: “O Lord, arrange our lives,” reminding that one should not rely on personal understanding but surrender fully to God’s will.
