ALLAH CREATED EARTH FOR US

Allah is the One Who created earth, the sun, stars
and moon. So how did all the living things on earth
come into being? Imagine a huge planet with its
surface completely empty. There are no humans or
animals, no plants or insects.
Earth has been decorated in a lot of detail for

living things to survive. Allah is the One Who has given
earth all these details. Otherwise none of us would
have been able to live, neither you, nor your parents,
or indeed any of your friends would have been here.
Let’s consider how Allah created the earth so that
living things can survive:
1. Think about… how orderly everything in the
universe is. The sun has been put in the exact position

from which it could warm us and give us light at the
same time. If there were no sun, there would not have
been one living thing on earth. Neither us, nor the
animals nor any other creatures would have been able
to live.
2. Allah has also distanced the sun from earth to
just the right extent. If earth was a little bit closer to

the sun, the heat would have scorched it and we would
not have been able to live. If earth was a little more
distant from the sun, then glaciers would have
covered it and again, few living things would have
been able to survive. This is one of the reasons why
there is no life on other planets, because they are
either too close to the sun or too distant from it.
3. As you know, living things need to breathe in
order to live. We need oxygen in the air so that we can

breathe. Exactly the right amount of oxygen exists in
the air so that human beings can breathe. If there
were a little bit more or a little bit less, neither we,
nor the animals, nor the plants would have survived,
