Description:
Throughout the book, we have witnessed the magnificent creation of Allah that can be observed throughout the entire universe. We have examined the evidence of creation, from the movements of a star in the depths of space to the orbits of an atom, from the symmetry in the wings of a butterfly to the excessive care and attention a bird shows to its newborn young, from a creature that is made up of a mere shell forming beautiful pearls to the importance of water for life on Earth.
Yet, here is an important point that we should not forget. No matter how many examples we give, these will never be enough to illustrate the eternal power and matchless knowledge of Allah. Allah is the only One Who has the most beautiful names and complete power. Every order, whether you see it or not, performs every moment with the permission of Allah. Allah creates all human beings and animate and inanimate objects and keeps them under His control. As it is related in the Qur'an, "...There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock..." (Surah Hud: 56) All events, as stated in the Qur'an, from the movements of celestial bodies lying millions of light-years away from us, to the events occurring in the sun, from the rays entering the world's atmosphere, to the progress that takes place in the Earth's layers, from the evaporation of water on the Earth, to the leaves falling down from the trees, are under the control of Allah. Allah, Who possesses infinite power, creates everything instantly with His infinite knowledge and puts them in order in the most perfect way.
The creation of Allah is endless and unlimited. To grasp a better understanding, think about yourself. You, like all other human beings, are one of billions of humans with hands, arms, eyes, ears and legs, yet you are still different from every one of them. Then, think about the other people who lived at some time on the Earth, from the time man was first created until now. Until now, undoubtedly billions, maybe hundreds of billions of people have lived on the Earth. And, although these people also, like you, had their hands, arms, eyes and ears, none of them looked liked you. Indeed, Allah has the power to create this many people and even more.
Allah is capable of creating many other things that man does not know or cannot understand with his limited judgment. These are the facts that need to be thought over in order to comprehend the matchlessness of Allah's creation. Allah is capable of creating an infinite number of creatures and an infinite number of spaces. He is also capable of creating every one of them with unique characteristics.
What befalls a person who is aware of these facts is to lead a life as Allah commands and to do good to please Him. Everyone must eliminate the causes that make him heedless of Allah's remembrance and that hamper him from thinking, through his own efforts.
Say: "Mankind! The truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided is only guided for his own good. Whoever is misguided is only misguided to his detriment. I have not been set over you as a guardian." (Surah Yunus: 108)
