show that living things possess extraordinary features, and that they were
brought into existence by a superior intelligence and knowledge.
Biological observations show that one living species cannot turn into
another, and that for that reason, if one could go back in time, one would
eventually come across, for each species, the first individuals that ever
existed and that were created from nothing. For example, since eagles
have always been eagles, if we could go back in time, we would arrive at
the first pair, or group, of eagles who were created from nothing. In fact,
the fossil record confirms this, and shows that different living species
suddenly emerged with all their particular, individual features. These
species may have been created at different points in time and settled in
different parts of the world, but this all happened through the will of
Allah.
In short, science reveals the proof we have considered that living
things were all created by Allah.
However, science goes no further than that. It is the Qur'an, the holy
book that has come down to us from Allah, that introduces us to the
essence of Allah and is the sole source of truth on every subject that tells
us why we were created and what the reason for our lives is.
It is stated in the Qur'an that the reason for our creation is so that we
might believe in Allah, our Lord, and serve Him. In one verse, He says, "I
only created jinn and man to worship me." (Surat adh-Dhariyat: 56) The
duty falling to everyone who grasps the truth of creation is to live in
accordance with that verse, and to say, "Why indeed should I not
worship Him Who brought me into being, Him to Whom you will be
returned?" (Surah Ya Sin: 22), like every believer, as described in the
Qur'an.
As for those who still deny Allah and the truth of creation, despite all
the evidence before their eyes, their minds have been conquered by their
own pride. One of Allah's holy verses describes how helpless and
powerless these individuals really are:
Mankind! an example has been made, so listen to it carefully.
Those whom you call upon besides Allah are not even able to create
a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly
steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are
both the seeker and the sought! (Surat al-Hajj: 73)
