Thus, the divine rulership in dominicality necessitates divine unity and indicates a most powerful motive and necessitating cause for it. So too the infinitely perfect order and harmony on the face of the universe, apparent from the totality  of  the  universe  and  the  stars,  and  the  plants,  animals  and  minerals  to particulars, individuals, and minute particles, form an indubitably veracious witness to and clear proof of  that singleness and unity. For if others had interfered, this most sensitive balance, order, and  regularity of the universe would have been spoilt and signs of disorder would have been apparent. In accordance with the meaning of the verse,

 

If there were in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides God, there would have been confusion in both!,(21:22)

 

this wondrous, perfect order of the universe would have been thrown into confusion and been spoilt. Whereas, according to the verse,

 

So turn your vision again; do you see any flaw?,(67:3)

 

from minute particles to the planets, from the ground to the divine throne, there is no sign of fault, defect, or confusion. Thus the order of the universe and of creatures and the balance of beings, demonstrate most brilliantly the greatest manifestation of the name of Single and testify to divine unity.

Moreover, since, through the mystery of the manifestation of divine oneness, the tiniest  living creature is a miniature sample of the universe and a small index of it, only the One who holds the whole universe in the grasp of His power can lay claim to it. And since, in regard to creation, a seed is not inferior to a tree, and a tree is a small universe, and all living beings are like small universes and small worlds, this mystery of divine oneness has made the association of partners with God impossible.

By virtue of this mystery, the universe is not only an indivisible whole, but is also by its nature, a universal whose division and being broken up into parts is impossible and which does  not accept participation and numerous hands in its creation. Thus, since each part  of it  is a  particular  and  individual part, and  the  whole also  is a universal, it precludes the participation of others in it. It proves to the degree of being self-evident the greatest  manifestation of the name of Single, the reality of divine unity, and this mystery of divine oneness.
