Chapter 8
Conclusion
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
