because, as we have already said, we need to breathe
in order to live. For this we need oxygen.
4. One of the most important things that make it

possible for us to survive is water. No organism can
live without water. For this reason, Allah has created
some parts of earth as water. Three quarters of
earth’s surface is covered with water. However, there
is no water on any of the other planets nor is there
any water on the moon that you see at night. The

essentials for living things are only available on
earth.
Many events on earth make it possible for us to
live. If even only one of these events doesn’t take
place, no living thing would be left on earth. So, is it

possible that these thousands of events have come
together spontaneously and formed such a place as
earth? Of course not. Not even one of these events
could happen by chance. Allah has created earth for
human beings. And, because of this, earth is the most
suitable place for us.

You can give the following example to those that
claim earth and the whole universe were formed by
chance. Let’s say that you are playing on the beach
and you see some big waves approaching, so you go
home. When you return to the beach after a few

hours, you see an amazing sight. On the shore there is
a wonderful city made of sand. There are houses,
hospitals, an airport, and buses. There are even
human figures. You ask a friend who is passing if he
knows how these things occurred. If he replied, “ I
think the big waves that reached the shore must have

formed them,” what would you think? Wouldn’t you be
suspicious that your friend imagined it, or wouldn’t
you laugh thinking that he must be joking or had
perhaps become insane?
