“And of His Signs is that He created you from dust and behold, you became human beings, and are multiplying around (the earth).”
(Al Qur’ān – 30:20)
The Signs of God provide, on the one hand, evidence to establish that the Next Life is possible as well as imminent. On the other hand, they also corroborate that the Universe is neither devoid of God nor is there a plurality of gods. Instead, there is only One God Who is the sole Creator, Sovereign, Lord and Master of the Universe. As a corollary of this, He alone should be the object of man’s worship and service.
Man is constituted of some lifeless elements such as traces of carbon, calcium and sodium. Yet that which has been produced from these elements is the wonderful being called man who is possessed of astonishing feeling, emotion, intellection and imagination. Now, none of these traits can be traced to the elements of which he is composed. It is obvious that the creation of man was not coincidental for he was endowed with reproductive power thanks to which billions upon billions of human beings have come into existence. These human beings essentially possess the same structure and endowments and myriad hereditary and individual characteristics.
Does it stand to reason that this wonderful feat of creation was accomplished without the creative will of an All-Wise Creator? Likewise, can anyone believe, unless his rationality has been impaired, that God, Who brought man into existence from nothing, will not have the power to recreate him after he dies?
