The All-Wise
He is Allah—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To
Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the
heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-
Wise. (Surat al-Hashr, 59:24)
As we mentioned earlier, everything around us contains obvi-
ous signs of creation. Galaxies proceed toward a certain direction,
Earth follows a particular orbit, living organisms contain intricate
systems discovered only recently, and events occur in perfect order
in the micro-universe, which is invisible to the naked eye... As sci-
ence proceeds, the cumulative information reveals ever more clearly
the delicacy inherent in the universe’s design.
Modern science has unearthed the following fact: All events
that have occurred since the universe’s creation have developed ac-
cording to a particular plan. The end result is Earth and all of its in-
habitants. Given this, all of us have the responsibility to recognize
that we are surrounded with the most suitable conditions and to
grasp the divine wisdom behind the universe’s formation.
Living amidst such blessings, we need to remember that every-
thing is created for a certain purpose. After all, we are living on a
planet designed to meet all of our needs perfectly. Just thinking
about this fact is enough to realize that everything has been created
with wisdom. As the Qur’an states:
... “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what
You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-
Wise.” (Surat al-Baqara, 2:32)
