to speak of the pos si bil i ty of a series of planned and con -
scious events tak ing place. In fact, how e ver, atoms do
com bine in an exceed ing ly con scious and planned man -
ner, accord ing to duties spe cial ly given to them. This sub -
lime plan ning and con scious ness could never emerge
acci den tal ly, even if all pos si bil i ties were mobi lized. All
this is clear proof that Allah has cre at ed life. Refusing to
accept this truth is a major loss for no one besides the
indi vid u al con cerned. Even if some one denies it, that
does not alter the fact that Allah has cre at ed all things. In
one verse, He imparts the tid ings that even if peo ple har -
bor their doubts, He per vades all things:
What! Are they in doubt about the meet ing with their
Lord? What! Does He not encom pass all things?
(Surah Fussilat: 54)
