Say: "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the Earth?" Say: "God."
Say: "So why have you taken protectors apart from Him who
possess no power to help or harm themselves?" Say: "Are the
blind and seeing equal? Or are darkness and light the same? Or
have they assigned partners to God who create as He creates, so
that all creating seems the same to them?" Say: "God is the
Creator of everything. He is the One, the All-Conquering."
(Surat ar-Ra'd: 16)
This book's purpose is to let the reader grasp the infinite might of
God by revealing once again, from a different perspective, the perfect
designs that have existed in nature, unchanged for billions of years.
Intelligent Design, in other words Creation
In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood. That
God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first made a
plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens,
needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted above all such
deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him
just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!"
and it is. (Surah Ya Sin: 82)
[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth. When He de-
cides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Surat al-
Baqara: 117)
