The Secret Beyond Matter 43

Certainly there is no hidden thing in either heaven or Earth which is not in
a Clear Book. (Surat an-Naml: 75)

Knowing The Real Essence Of Matter
People who contemplate their surroundings conscientiously and
wisely realise that everything in the universe—both living and non-liv-
ing—must have been created. So the question now is "Who is the creator of
all these things?"
It is evident that "the fact of creation", which reveals itself in every
aspect of the universe, cannot be an outcome of the universe itself. For
example, a bug could not have created itself. The solar system could not
have created or organised itself. Neither plants, humans, bacteria, erythro-
cytes (red-blood corpuscles), nor butterflies could have created themselves.
The possibility that these could all have originated "by chance" is not even
imaginable.
We therefore arrive at the following conclusion: Everything that we see
has been created. But none of the things that we see can be "creators" them-
selves. The Creator is different from and superior to all that we see with our
eyes, a superior power, invisible but Whose existence and attributes are
revealed in everything that exists.
This is the point at which those who deny the existence of
Allah demur. They are conditioned not to believe in His
existence unless they see Him with their own eyes.
They may disregard the fact of "creation", but
they cannot ignore the actuality of "creation"
manifested all throughout the universe and
find themselves forced to prove —false-
ly—that the universe and the living
things in it have not been created.
Evolutionary theory is a key
example of their vain
endeavours to this end.
The basic mis-
take of those who
deny Allah is
shared by many
people who in fact
