[الطامعة في رضا ربها]

 

THE CREATION

Is it not in the very nature of every human to look to th sky when he is in need and desperate for help? When there is a loss for him to cry our or a Lord, when he is in despair to raise his eyes for help from a superior being, it is a very innate nature of the whole of mankind.
Every human has within him a natural inclination to ask certain questions about the purpose of life; what are we doing here? What is the purpose of life? Is there a creator or did this all appear by random chance?

Until these questions are answered, a person's soul can never find peace and life will seem to be a futile and meaningless labour.
The soul will be in constant turmoil in the uncertainty of what will happen next.
The Qur'an invites man to travel the earh, make his own observations and reflect on how creation was originated:
" Say [ O Mohammad, ] " Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. The Allah will produce the final creation [ i.e., development ]. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent. " (Qur'an an 29,20 )
