more frequent occurrence of hurricanes and floods, a serious
challenge to existence on earth.
Likewise, there are many other delicate balances making
the earth a life-supporting planet, and it is impossible that they
could have come into existence by chance. Accordingly, it is
impossible that a wise man would attribute such exquisite bal-
ances and calculations to blind chance. A car or a camera re-

minds man of the existence of a conscious designer. Similarly,
one should conclude that the universe, with its glorious inter-
related web of systems, is not a self-governing entity which
came into existence all by itself. Allah frequently draws our at-
tention to the evidence of creation:
It is He Who sends down water from the sky. From it you
drink and from it come the shrubs among which you graze
your herds. And by it He makes crops grow for you and
olives and dates and grapes and fruit of every kind. There
is certainly a sign in that for people who reflect. He has
made night and day subservient to you, and the sun and
moon and stars, all subject to His command. There are cer-
tainly signs in that for people who use their intellect. And
also in the things of varying colors He has created for you 19
on the earth, there is certainly a sign for people who pay
heed. (Surat an-Nahl: 10-13)

Is He, then, Who creates like him who does not create? So
will you not pay heed? (Surat an-Nahl: 17)
Pondering over the issues mentioned in the above verses
surely suffices to make one, albeit, totally deprived of religious
knowledge, conceive of the existence of Allah and appreciate

His power and might. Just considering one's body, a composi-
tion of interrelated complex systems, makes one conscious of
the superior creation of Almighty Allah.
