Intelligent Design - in Other Words,
Creation

In Order to Create, Allah Has No Need to Plan
It’s important to properly understand the word “de-
sign.” If Allah has created a flawless design that does not mean
that He first conceived a plan and then followed it. Allah, the Lord
of the Earth and the heavens, needs no “designs” in order to bring
anything into existence. Allah is exalted above all such deficiencies.
Both His planning and His creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever Allah wills a thing to come about, it is enough for
Him just to say, “Be!” As verses of the Qur’an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say
to it, “Be!” and it is. (Surah Ya Sin: 82)

[Allah is] the Originator of the heav-
ens and Earth. When He decides
on something, He just says to
it, “Be!” and it is. (Surat al-
Baqara: 117)
