This is what causes researchers in spiritual phenomena, including modern-day scholars, to attribute it to the flow of unknown electromagnetic waves. They assume that strenuous exercises give a person control over the manipulation of powerful waves that accompany or are driven by will and feeling. Thus, a person is able to perform extraordinary movements and actions, sometimes defying normal laws of matter, such as contraction and expansion, and similar phenomena.
If this hypothesis were proven and followed without contradiction, it would lead to a new, expansive theory that could explain all the scattered events that were previously explained by older hypotheses, focusing on the axis of movement, force, and cause. It would establish a natural connection linking all material events to a single natural cause.
This is their claim, and in general, they are correct, as a natural phenomenon would have no meaning without a natural cause, provided the link is preserved. In other words, we understand by natural cause that multiple natural entities come together with specific relations and connections, forming a new natural entity that is subsequent to, and connected with, them. If the previous system is disrupted, it would not exist or come to be.
As for the Qur’an, although it does not identify this last natural cause that governs all ordinary and extraordinary material events by naming it or explaining how it works, it does confirm that every material event has a material cause by God’s will. In other words, every material event is grounded in its existence through God’s power, and everything is linked to the divine flow of existence from Him.
God says: “Whoever fears God, He will make a way for him to escape and provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies on God – He is sufficient for him. Indeed, God accomplishes His purpose. God has already set for everything its destiny.” (Quran, At-Talaq 65:3). The opening of this verse speaks in absolute terms, without restrictions, indicating that anyone who fears God and relies on Him, even when ordinary causes seem to oppose it, will be given sufficiency by Him, and what is meant to happen will indeed happen. This is also affirmed by God’s statement in another verse: “And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.” (Quran, Al-Baqarah 2:186).
The next part of the verse, “Indeed, God is fully capable of executing His will,” (Quran, At-Talaq 65:3) justifies the absolute nature of His decree. Likewise, in the verse “And Allah is dominant over His affair, but most people do not know” (Quran, Yusuf 12:21), God is emphasizing His complete control over all affairs. This shows that God has control over every event, regardless of the usual and familiar means by which it occurs.
This can be interpreted in two ways: one is that God accomplishes His will without material cause or natural reasoning, solely through His will. The second interpretation suggests that there is an underlying natural cause, known only to God, through which He fulfills His purpose. The verse “Indeed, God has set for everything its destiny” (Quran, At-Talaq 65:3) leans toward the second interpretation, indicating that everything has a predetermined measure, regardless of whether the usual causes apply or not.
Further, the verse “And We have made for everything a destiny,” (Quran, Al-A’raf 7:54) reinforces this idea, asserting that everything has a preordained relationship with other beings, and all material existence is connected through divine will, even when the usual causes are absent. This signifies that natural connections and relationships are under God’s direct control.
Thus, the Qur’an emphasizes that all causes and effects in the universe are not independent of one another. They are part of a divine plan where everything is ultimately governed by God’s will and permission, and no one can act independently of God’s permission.
The Qur’an also acknowledges the role of supernatural powers, such as miracles and extraordinary phenomena. As it states, “No messenger could bring a sign except by God’s permission, and when God’s command comes, it is executed in truth, and there the falsifiers will be lost.” (Quran, Al-Mu’minun 23:78), the manifestation of miracles through the prophets is directly linked to God’s will.
In the same way, the verse “And they followed what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon, and Solomon did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic… and they did not teach anyone unless they said: ‘We are but a trial, so do not disbelieve.’” (Quran, Al-Baqarah 2:102) demonstrates that supernatural acts like magic or miracles, whether from the prophets or others, are rooted in the psychological faculties and the divine will that empowers them. All extraordinary occurrences—whether miracles or supernatural events—are ultimately dependent on divine permission and guidance.
Thus, the Qur’an supports the idea that both natural phenomena and extraordinary events, like miracles or magic, are not independent but are intrinsically tied to God’s will, as evidenced by multiple verses. The Qur’an maintains that the ultimate power in the universe belongs to God, and nothing can happen without His permission and will.
