The Secret Beyond Matter

Those who contemplate their surroundings conscientiously
and wisely realize that everything in the universe—both living and
non-living—must have been created. So the question becomes,
"Who is the Creator of all these things?"
It is evident that the Creation that reveals itself in every aspect
of the universe cannot be an outgrowth of the universe itself. For ex-
ample, no insect could have created itself, nor could the solar system
have created or organized itself. Neither could plants, humans, bac-
teria, red-blood cells, nor butterflies have created themselves. As
this book explains throughout, any possibility that all these could
have originated "by chance" is unimaginable.
Therefore, we arrive at the following conclusion: Everything
that we see has been created, but nothing we see can itself be a "cre-

see, a Superior Power Who is invisible to our eyes, but Whose exis-
tence and attributes are revealed in everything that He creates.
This is where those who deny Allah's existence are led astray.
