The Cosmos

The Creation of the Cosmos and How it Points to Allah’s

Existence

The cosmos or integrated and whole universe is made up of

various parts. There are the galaxies and solar systems that are above

and beyond earth. On earth, there are inanimate objects, such as the

mountains, oceans and land. There is also the animal kingdom with

all its great varieties. There are aspects of creation that humans are

still discovering and coming across today. All of these are actually

part and parcel of the creative work of God.

In the section entitled, “The Belief that God is the Sole

Creator and Sustainer of all Creation,” there was a lengthy discussion

of how the make-up of this creation clearly points to the fact that

there is only one Creator and Sustainer. There is no need to repeat

that discussion here. However, some other very important points can

be derived from pondering over this creation.

In the hustle and bustle of today’s world, many find little time

to reflect upon this creation, their presence in this creation and any

purpose behind it all. However, it is important that people take the

time to reflect and think. When they do so, they will find signs and

lessons that will bring them straight back to God—a most important

step in their lives. The signs are actually all around them, if they

would only reflect upon them.

Reflecting upon the intricacy and order of this creation makes

one realize that there must be some purpose behind this creation. It is

unimaginable that any being would make something with such

precision and perfection and yet there would be no rhyme or reason to

the whole creation.

The Quranic argument is that it is not logically possible to

come to any other conclusion. Indeed, if a person believes in God as

the Creator, by definition it is unbecoming of such a noble and great

to create all of this order and beauty and yet have no purpose behind

that creation. A person who believes in a creator yet believes that this

creator had no purpose or thought behind his creation is describing a

creator that is childlike and unintelligent. It is hard to believe that a

creator like that could possibly come up with a creation like the one

that everyone witnesses today. No, indeed, the creation points to

certain attributes of the Creator and it points to there being an

important and great purpose behind this entire creation. The whole

nature of the existence points to the Creator being one of very special

character who would not create anything of this nature simply i n

sport or jest. That Creator could only be Allah with His perfect and

sublime attributes—that is, this creation needs Allah and it could not

be just and proper except under the control of Allah, exactly as Allah

is.
