The Wisdom Behind the Creation of the Cosmos

The Wisdom Behind the Creation of the Cosmos .

Following from the above and earlier discussions, one can

discern some of the wisdom behind the creation of the cosmos. These

can be delineated in the following points:

(1) The existence of the creation and the nature of this

creation points to the existence of the Creator, as discussed in the

previous chapter.

(2) The magnitude, perfection and detail of this universe

point to a purpose behind this creation. It would be unbecoming the

Wise Creator to create something of this nature with no purpose or

reason behind it.

(3) The initial creation also indicates Allah’s ability t o

recreate. The One who created from nothing can easily recreate what

He has already created. This is a warning and sign of the coming of

the Resurrection.

The above three points were all discussed in either the

previous chapter or earlier in this chapter. There are yet other

important points behind the creation of this cosmos.

The creation of the cosmos brings forth or manifests many of

the attributes of Allah. This in itself is a beautiful, wondrous and

desirable thing. For example, Allah always had the ability to create

but until He created, this attribute was not manifested in any concrete

manner.

Of course, the manner in which He creates points to many of

His other sublime attributes. They demonstrate His complete ability,

His power, His wisdom and knowledge (as reflected in the balance in

the creation) and His greatness. Without the creation of the cosmos,

these wonderful attributes would have existed but they would not

have been exhibited or appreciated. This demonstrates that it was

great and wonderful of Allah to create this cosmos.

In reality, everything of this creation submits to the will and

command of Allah, highlighting His nature and attributes of

greatness and dominion. The creation knows the reality of Allah and

does not refuse to bow and submit to Him alone—except for some

humans1, as shall be explained shortly.
