LESSON FOR MAN

Reflecting on God’s creation, man can learn great things. His life is itself a veritable library. Through his self-study, man can learn many big lessons.

For example, when man observes this universe, he notices that it is functioning in a very planned manner. The sun rises and sets with amazing accuracy, but such order, regularity, and precision are absent in the human world. Similarly, the entire universe functions on the principle of zero-defect management; in contrast, there are always defects in man’s management of things. If man studies these issues dispassionately and with an open mind, he can discover the existence of Almighty God through his study. This discovery will compel him to say, in the words of the Quran:

‘Is there any doubt about God, the Originator of the heavens and earth?’ (14:10)

This discovery can become, for him, a rediscovery. He can begin to discover these things more effectively. For example, the Quran says:

“He has given you all that you asked of Him; and if you try to reckon up God’s favours, you will not be able to count them.” (14:34)

Reflecting on these words, when man recognizes that he is in such a human-friendly world, this awareness can significantly increase his gratitude towards his Creator—God Almighty.
