Page 171 - The Creation Of The Universe

Allah summons us to inves-
tigate and reflect upon the
heavens, alternation of the
night and the day, and the
Creation of universe.
Science is a method by
which we discover the
Creation of Allah.

idence of this fact. No matter how deeply you delve the details or broaden
the search, this general observation remains true: In every detail of the uni-
verse, there is a purpose that serves human life and each detail is perfectly
balancedand harmonized to achieve that purpose.
Certainly this is proof of the existence of a superior creator who brought
this universe into being for this purpose. Whatever property of matter we may
examine, we behold in it the infinite knowledge, wisdom, and power of Allah,
Who created it from nothingness. Every thing bows to His will and that is why
each and every thing is in perfect harmony with everything else.
This is the conclusion that 20th-century science has at last reached. And
yet, it is only a recognition of a fact that was imparted to mankind in the
Qur'an over fourteen centuries ago: Allah has created every detail of the uni-
verse to reveal the perfection of His own Creation:
Blessed be He Who has the Kingdom in His Hand! He has power
over all things. He Who created death and life to test which of you
is best in action. He is the Almighty, the Ever-Forgiving. He Who
created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw in
the Creation of the All-Merciful. Look again–do you see any gaps?
Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled
and exhausted. (Surat al-Mulk: 1-4)
