How should we understand the verse, The inside of everything is upon the hand of God?
As we understand from the expression The exterior of everything is called property; and the interior the inner dimension. from the Risale-i Nur Collection, this visible world we witness is at the same time the world of property. All such worlds as the world of invisible commandment, of angels and of the Hereafter are also defined as inner dimensions.
While some of our scholars state that the human body is property and the soul is inner dimension, some others take the invisible parts of the body as unknown to us, so inner dimension.
Hence, we can understand the verse: The inside of everything is upon the hand of God. in two ways:
The first; all the invisible laws, systems and commandments come from the power of God and function with the ordainment of God, like soul that manages the body. The second; no creature has the power to sustain its inner dimension. Only God manages and sustains the inner dimensions of us, animals, trees, sees and so forth.
