“Allah has created the heavens and the earth in Truth. Certainly there is a Sign in this for those who believe.”
(Al Qur’ān – 29:44)
The order of the Universe is based on truth rather than falsehood. Whoever ponders the workings of the Universe with an open mind realises that the heavens and the earth have nothing to do with imaginary musings and conjectures. They are rooted instead in the bedrock of truth and reality. It is simply impossible for a person to weave a philosophy out of his conjecture and imagination that adequately fits the scheme of the Universe, a scheme wherein only that which is anchored in truth and reality works and strikes root. Any system of ideas and presuppositions incongruent with reality will of necessity collide with it and be shattered into pieces.
The order of the Universe testifies to the fact that none other than the One True God is its Creator, Lord and Regulator. Suppose someone were to disregard this vital fact and proceed on the assumption that the Universe is without God or that there is a multiplicity of gods that provide security for their devotees in return for the offerings they make. Such baseless notions would not alter the truth at all. On the contrary, at one time or another, the victim of such false notions will face a rude shock.
The creation of the heavens and the earth provides testimony verifying the truth of monotheism and falsity of polytheism and atheism. This testimony can only be perceived by those who believe in the Prophets’ teachings.
