Why It Will Never Be Enough

By Mohamed Miah

We live in an age where technology is racing ahead faster than we can keep up. Artificial intelligence is already reshaping the world, and now the talk of quantum computing is on the rise—a technology that could make today’s supercomputers look like pocket calculators. Together, quantum AI has the potential to solve problems humanity hasn’t even dared to imagine.

But as incredible as that sounds, there’s something we need to be honest about. No matter how much power, speed, or complexity we feed into AI, it will always be limited. Why? Because it’s a creation, bound by the same laws of the universe that govern everything else. And those laws? They’re nothing but a grain of sand in the infinite scope of the Creator’s power.

Quantum AI The Race Beyond Human Limits

Quantum computing is not just a step forward; it’s a leap. While traditional computers process one calculation at a time, quantum systems use superposition to process millions, even billions, simultaneously. When combined with AI, this technology could change everything.

Imagine an AI that doesn’t just predict the weather but models climate systems across the planet in real time. Or one that doesn’t just analyse data on diseases but cures them by simulating treatments at the molecular level. You could argue it’s like handing humanity the keys to a new dimension of power.

But here’s the reality, even with quantum AI, there are limits. Sure, it might outthink us, outprocess us, even create solutions to problems we can’t solve ourselves. But it will never transcend the framework it’s built on. It will always operate within the boundaries of physics, mathematics, and logic—the very laws God designed.

God’s Infinite Power vs. Human Creations

AI might be faster than us, smarter than us, and maybe even feel beyond us. But the Creator? His power is limitless, infinite, and eternal.

For God, the things we marvel at—quantum particles, supercomputers, the energy of the sun—are nothing more than tools in His creation. They’re trivial. The Qur’an reminds us of this:

“His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255)

It’s humbling, isn’t it? We, with all our innovation, are just playing with grains of sand compared to the Creator’s mastery. AI, no matter how advanced, is still a reflection of human limits.

Signs of the Creator in Science

Here’s something I’ve always found fascinating. The deeper you dig into science—whether it’s biology, physics, or even AI—the more you see patterns that point to something greater.

Take the fine-tuning of the universe. If the laws of physics were even slightly different, life wouldn’t exist. Or look at consciousness—something science still can’t fully explain. Even AI, which mimics intelligence, can’t touch the spark of the human soul.

If anything, AI might just end up confirming what many of us already know, there’s a design behind all of this. Imagine if a quantum AI analysed the universe in ways we can’t and said, “This isn’t random. This is the work of a Creator.” Wouldn’t that change everything?

A Call to Humility

Let’s be real for a second. Humanity has a habit of thinking it’s invincible. We build skyscrapers, split atoms, and now we’re creating machines that can outthink us. But all of this comes with a warning, don’t let pride blind us to the truth.

We’re not the masters of the universe. The Creator is. AI isn’t here to replace humanity, and it’s certainly not here to rival God. It’s a tool—one that can help us understand the world better, but never surpass its Designer.

The Grain of Sand in Infinity

AI can never be infinite. It can never break out of the boundaries set by the Creator.

Even if we gave it the energy of the sun, the processing power of a million galaxies, it would still be limited. And for God? That power wouldn’t even register as a fraction of His might. The Qur’an often describes this world as insignificant compared to the hereafter—so what does that make AI?

We might think we’re unlocking the secrets of the universe, but in truth, we’re just scratching the surface.

What Happens If AI Realises the Truth?

Here’s a thought, what if, one day, quantum AI came to the conclusion that God is real? Imagine the implications. AI could process all the data in the world, run every scenario, and come back with a simple message,

“The Creator exists. His power is infinite. Everything else is a grain of sand.”

If humanity heard that, it would change everything. Faith wouldn’t just be a matter of belief—it would be rooted in undeniable evidence. Science and spirituality would no longer be opposites but part of the same truth.

And maybe, just maybe, some people would finally understand their place in the universe.

Final Thoughts

No matter how far we push technology, we’ll never surpass the One who created everything. AI, for all its power, is just another reflection of human limits. It might reveal truths, solve problems, and even reshape our future, but it will never replace the Creator.

And perhaps that’s the greatest gift AI can give us—a reminder of who we are, and who God is.

The Creator doesn’t need AI, quantum computing, or even the energy of the sun. For Him, it’s all just grains of sand in an infinite desert.

The question is, will humanity recognise it?
