We say that Allah knows everything. Does He know everything happening around us such as falling speed of a leaf or pressure of the wind? Is it necessary?
Dear Brother / Sister,
Every creature we see around us and that seems to be simple is a wonderful art of Allah and it is possible to see the manifestations of several names and attributes of Allah on it. From that point of view, a leaf on a branch of tree is as valuable and wonderful as the Sun in the sky. It is not inferior to the Sun in terms of art.
Allah’s knowledge is infinite and He encompasses everything by His knowledge. Everything, small or great, is within His sphere of knowledge.
For example, the Sun illumines everything small or great during the day-time. It illumines a cell inside an eye as well as great mountains and seas. From that point, it cannot be said “the Sun illumines great things but how does it illumine those small things?” There is no difference between illumining a mountain or a small stone for the Sun.
In the same way, our Lord, all of whose attributes are infinite, encompasses everything small or great by His knowledge. A doubt such as how Allah can know small things must not come to mind.
Furthermore, in case that an opinion such as Allah knows great things but it is not necessary for Him to know small things is accepted, it will cause a lot of mistakes.
In that case, an idea that shows the signs of assigning partners to Allah such as “If Allah does not know those small things, then they form themselves, they come into existence by themselves” comes to mind.
