The Missing Item of Creation

layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the
Gracious One. Then look once again: can you see any
flaw? Then look again and again. Your gaze will come
back to you confused and exhausted. (67:3-4).
Long scientific research has only confirmed the veracity of
this statement. Science acknowledges that the universe has been
intelligently designed and that there is no defect at all in the vast
universe.
But apparently, there is one “defect” in the universe. And that
has also been mentioned in the Quran. A verse in the chapter
Al-Dhariyat (Scattering Winds) says:
We created pairs of all things so that you may ponder
over it. (51:49).
Here, “pair” means complementary part. Study of nature tells
us that everything has its counterpart in this world, be it the
material world, the plant world or the animal world. Due to this,
every entity in the world is, as though, living with satisfaction.

Man’s high hopes cannot be fulfilled except in an
eternal habitat. God Almighty has prepared this
eternal habitat for man in some place in the vast
universe, just as He has created the present temporary
world.

However, man lives in discontentment. Because, man is the
only such feature of this world whose counterpart is missing.
Every animal and plant is provided with its natural habitat, and
they live in it with total contentment. But among all creatures
man is an exception: he is deprived of his true habitat. It is due
to this deprivation that man always lives in discontentment
and unhappiness. Every human being dies as a case of lack of
fulfilment.
