Page 53 - Unawareness: A Sly Threat

Harun Yahya 51

attain the Garden He has promised to all believers.

Having intimate knowledge of the things Allah
has created

Knowledge is one of the most effective ways to escape
heedlessness. Examining, seeing and grasping the evidences
of creation that pervade the universe undermines unaware-
ness and keeps it at bay. Allah’s superior might and knowl-
edge can only justly be appreciated through such a serious
endeavor and contemplation. Allah informs us that the uni-
verse and everything in it are created for a special purpose:
We did not create heaven and Earth and everything in
between them as a game. (Surat al-Anbiya’: 16)
Indeed, all created things are evidences of Allah’s exis-
tence. Obtaining detailed knowledge about them allows peo-
ple to see the manifestations of a supreme intelligence in
every detail. Even a cursory observation of these details
reveals that all that exists is composed of wonderful systems.
Confronted with these details, people may clearly perceive
Allah’s existence and become aware of His superior power.
By sincere thought and reflection, they manage to pierce the
veil of unawareness that had blinded them and rendered their
consciences mute.
For example, people can see Allah’s supreme artistry
and knowledge just by studying their own bodies and cre-
ation. Indeed, the creation of human itself is made of a chain
of events that disperse unawareness. By multiplying a genet-
ic code within a single cell, an embryo comes into being
