We
have given you some examples of the effects of Allah's art
of creation on a living species only a few centimetres long.
It is correct to say "some examples" because there are hundreds
more, relating to ants, which can be listed. However, each
one of the listed examples is in itself a matter for profound
reflection.
It must not be forgotten that life
forms exist all over the earth. The life bestowed by Allah on
small ants, which have a complicated system and an extensive
range of activities, has also been created for living beings
in each square milimetre. Single-celled organisms, insects,
wild animals and plants are all created with perfect programming,
like the ants.
All these miracles of creation are
things which human beings do not even think about during their
daily lives, or they just look at them without comprehending
them.
With this book, we have tried
to dispel the deep mist with which modern society covers the
people's eyes. Our goal is to present anew the proof of Allah's
eternal existence to those who have forgotten Him because they
have been too preoccupied all their lives with worldly matters,
such as jobs, houses, and financial concerns. It is also our
goal to give to those who do think of Him, new material to reflect
upon. Both these tasks are very important. And as a major step
towards their fulfilment, we have analyzed in this text the
miracles of creation, so that the One Who is the mastermind
behind them may come to be known and appreciated. Allah explains
the significance of this as follows in our only indicator of
the true path, the Qur'an:
And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains
standing firm, and produced therefrom every kind of beautiful
growth (in pairs) - to be observed and commemorated by every
devotee turning (to God). (Surah
Qaf: 7-8)
Our goal is to have the readers think of the
message of this book as a message "to be observed and commemorated".
Therefore, rather than becoming submerged in the troubles of
a society which has turned its back on Allah and forgotten Him,
the reader should ponder deeply upon the existence and power
of Allah and should rearrange his life in accordance with this
truth.
Allah has created all the things He created to become acquainted
with Him. Those who turn away from Him, despite this, deserve
a great punishment.
