QUESTION ASKED ON ANOTHER FORUM

God has made the universe, then made laws to run the universe. Now has He become dormant and leave the universe to run according to his laws OR is He practically busy in maintaining the universe?

Thanks

In a humble attempt to directly answer the original poster's question, if we note 7:54 and read 'istawa ala 'larsh' (ascended the throne) in context to the establishment of God creating the universe and the laws and taking power over it, we see it further elaborated in 10:13 [sic] (should read: verse 13:2) with the term 'yudabbiru l-amra' (governing / disposing the affairs). I feel this gives us a strong indication of 'active involvement' as many other posters have also suggested and from inferences from other Quranic verses.
