Islamic Scholars And The Signs Leading To Faith
                                                                              61

                    come. If jinn and human beings had come together, could they
                    have created an eye, an ear, or power, science or soul, or wis-
                    dom from a drop of water? Could they have created bones,
                    veins, nerves, skin, or hair? These aside, once God created all of

                    them, they would fail to understand a human being’s beauty
                    and nature, and the essence of his/her existence...
                    Look at what God has bestowed and His grandeur, that glori-

                    ous power and His purposes, and how they embrace human
                    beings. It is a wonder that someone who admires a work of art
                    thinks about the artist’s talents and expresses his glorious
                    artistry and skills. However, they do not think of God’s artistry
                    and purpose when they look at this magnificient universe and

                    what has been created. 2
                    The Sun, Moon, stars, cloud, rain, wind, and all powers in na-
                    ture... are all under God’s sway and command. They are like the

                    pens in a clerk’s hand. 3

                    In the sky, there are many stars hundreds of times larger than
                    Earth. They look like a single dot, for they are so far away. This
                    fact reveals the greatness of the heavens. Despite their haughti-
                    ness, all of these stars are seen as very small in your eyes. For
                    this very reason, you can grasp the mightiness and sovereignty
                    of the One Who creates them all. 4

                    Take a look at these numerous stars... their movements, spins,
                    and their spinning speeds are all different. Some rotate once a

                    year, some every 12 years, and others every 30 years. The as-
                    tounding knowledge there is immense. ... Any attempt to con-
                    vey the knowledge provided by God about this issue in this
                    short life of the world would continue for days. 5

                    Turn your face to the heavens; to the stars in the sky, to how
