The Earth is a Place of Resort. Who Made It So?

That the earth supports such a vast variety of living creatures is not a simple matter. If one ponders over it, human intellect is overawed by the complexity of the whole chain of factors and reaches the conclusion that it’s impossible to have such a system unless there be an All-Wise and All-Mighty Being.

“Who is it Who has made the earth a place of resort, and has caused rivers to flow in its midst, and has placed upon it firm mountains, and has placed a barrier between two masses of water? Is there any god associated with Allah [in these tasks]? Nay; but most of them do not know.”

(Al Qur’ān 27:61)

That the earth supports such a vast variety of living creatures is not a simple matter. If one ponders over it, human intellect is overawed by the complexity of the whole chain of factors and reaches the conclusion that it’s impossible to have such a system unless there be an All-Wise and All-Mighty Being.

The earth revolves in an orbit, where it moves so smoothly that nothing is disturbed. It revolves around the sun with perfect regularity, creating day and night. If it were to face the sun at a particular angle all the time, it would be impossible for life to exist because one part would be extremely cold, the other extremely hot, both rendering it impossible for life to exist.

Thisis merely one of the things which sustain life on this planet. Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence to reflect would simply refuse to believe that all of this has come to exist by itself without a Creator. In like manner, no sensible person can believe that any angel, god, goddess, jinn, Prophet or saint has any share in the creation and sustenance of this wonderful, complex and marvellous plan of creation.
