There are questions which confuse us most of the time. Questions regarding the creator. Most of us, when we can’t find answers to such questions, stop thinking about them. But this is not a right kind of approach to be followed. I believe that everything can be explained with logic. When I say logic I mean the unbiased logic because biased logic is always flawed. Let’s start analyzing these questions one by one.
Q 1: Has the man evolved or has he been created?
Ans.: Here the Darwin’s theory of evolution comes into picture. The theory says that the man has evolved from apes through the process of evolution over the millions of years. Darwin has based his theory on the concept of ‘survival of the fittest’. Superficially this may seem to be a plausible argument but when we go deep into it, it turns out to be a deceit. Imagine I tell you that the mobile phone which I have came into existence all by itself. Further, I tell you that it evolved from sand and crude oil (because mobile is made of silicon chips and plastic) and it came into its present form after millions of years. You may argue that how is it possible? And also may call me a mad man. You may say that its impossible such a complex thing coming into existence all by itself. So when you say a mobile phone can’t come into existence by itself, how can a human being come into existence all by itself as humans are much more complex. When a mobile phone has a creator, humans should also have a creator.
Conclusion: Human beings have been created.
Q 2: How many creators are there?
Ans.: Let us logically try to analyze this question also. Consider the example of two painters. If they both would make paintings separately there will be the contrasting difference between the two paintings. There is no wonder in it because two people never think alike. Now let us extend this same example to the human beings. Apart from small differences like color, tastes, language etc., we all are similar. We all have similar systems working in our body. We all need air to breathe, food to eat, we all see with our eyes, smell with our nose, and listen with our ears. So we can say that we all have been created by a single creator. Had we been created by different creators our bodily forms would have been different as the case of different paintings. Similarly, all the animals have also been created by the same creator because we find them strikingly resembling the humans. If we analyze further, we can say everything in this universe has been created by the single creator. From small dust particles to huge stars all of them testify the same fact. You see all the things are created from the basic particles called atom. And each atom is governed by certain laws (like electrons moving round nucleus). These atoms and the laws governing them remain the same anywhere in the universe. This striking resemblance between everything in this universe testifies the fact that they have been created by the same creator. Had there been different creators this striking resemblance would not have been there.
Conclusion: There is only one creator.
Let us call that creator as God/Allah/Bhagwan.
Now let us try to logically analyze some of His attributes from the above discourse.
· Since God created everything in this universe. So he must be powerful than everything else in this universe. Because creator will always be more powerful than the creation. Thus the first attribute which we can give to our creator is- THE ALL POWERFUL.
· Human beings are the wisest of all the creatures. But the being that created us must definitely be wiser than us. So we can give another attribute to our creator-THE ALL WISE.
There is one more important question that can come to one’s mind:
Q3: Why did God create us?
Ans.: There are only two options either there is some purpose of creation or there is no purpose. The creation without a purpose is out of question because as we already know that our creator is THE ALL WISE. How can THE ALL WISE make anything without a purpose? Even when we do anything, it has some purpose. The clothes we wear has a purpose, our shoes has a purpose, house has a purpose, the sun, the moon, the day , the night and everything we see around has some purpose. And imagine human beings without a purpose. No, this can’t be true… we should have some purpose as our creator is THE ALL WISE.
Now we know that we have been created with some purpose. But what is the purpose? To find the answer we may resort to different philosophies and we find different people have different views. We may turn towards science but science will also not give us the answer. So, what do we do? There is only one way to get the hundred percent right answer. The way is to get the answer from the one who created us. No other answer will satisfy us better than the one that of the creator Himself. Since our creator sent us to earth with some purpose, so it is He, THE ALL WISE, who will have made some provision for guiding us towards the purpose.
I close my discussion here without ending. I leave this task for the reader to find the purpose of life. I strongly believe, and I hope you also will, that if someone yearns to know about his creator, the creator will come to him running and provide him guidance.
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias; In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
THE HOLY QURAN (Surah: AL-Infitar, Verse #:6-8 )
Bismillahir rahmanirraheem
ReplyDeleteAlhamdulillahi wahdah, May Allah swt shower his blessings onto you for creating a source through which people may reach truth. Jazakallahu Khair brother
I start my comments about this post and all that i saw till now here by quoting an a'ayah from the Glorious Quran:
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways
that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best who have strayed from His Path and who
receive guidance." Holy Quran 16:125
This essence of 'Wisdom and beautiful preaching' is what this topic depicts, this is a novel way to convience any person belonging to any faith and idealism. From a long time i was searching the answer of the question that 'how can we in a layman's language prove that there is only One God' today i got the answer, Thanks and May Allah swt reward you.
But i must say that the Q no.1 needs more detailed refutations.
Moving on....you have concluded the topic by quoting the a'ayah from the Holy Quran, to give the reference you have written Surah...and 'VERSE'....
I must say you that it is far more better to replace 'Verse' by ' a'ayah ' while giving reference, 'Verse' is attributed to a poem, poetry etc; Allah swt says in the Holy Quran:
"It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!" Holy Quran 69:41, it means Allah swt says that Holy Quran is not the word of poet or any sort of poetry, so it is better to say a'ayah than 'verse', there are many words in Arabic for which there is no exact translation in English, so we should pronounce and say those words in Arabic itself. for Details consult 'The Noble Quran- In english Language; Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-din Al-Hilali,Dr. Muhammad muhsin Khan'.
Now you may say that Dr. Zakir Naik( damat barkatuhum) says 'verse' instead of ' a'ayah' then i must clarify you one thing, there is no doubt that dr. Naik(damat barkatuhum) is a great scholar, but it is not necessary that every word he says, and every action he performs is correct. The final judge and authority is Holy Quran and Sunnah.
Moving on....
in your profile you have distinguished Holy Quran a book, and placed it with many other books. WAIT!!!!.... (this is what i have studied and found, you may consult to any scholar if necessary) Allah swt says:
"We have without doubt sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from
corruption)." Holy Quran 15:9, the arabic word used here is Dhikr(refering to the Holy Quran), likewise, Holy Quran has been called as a Reminder at 7:63,12:104,18:101,65:10 etc, A manifest Light at 4:174 and 42:52 ...........
It means Allah swt's message that is the Holy Quran is not just a NORMAL BOOK, It is something very great and superb. I remeber the words of Dr. Israr Ahmad (damat barkatuhum) who once said; Yeh kitab nees, yeh cheezai deegar ast, meaning, This (hOly quran) is not a book it is something very different. My intention of saying all this is that is we are placing Holy Quran along with other books, assuming it to be a book, a book of God, then we are doing great injustice to it. Yeh Kitab nees yeh cheezai degar ast.
these are all my views, you can contradict them, but remember while you contradict, Hatu burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeen,; Bring your proof and evidences if ye are truthful.
Rest bro you are doing a great job, Jazakallahu Khair, May Allah swt reward you.
Keep it up..
