Signs of God
English book, p. 67
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
SIGNS OF GOD God has created in this world, He has inscribed: ‘Made by God.’” God has inscribed this on His creations and then concealed Himself from people’s sight so that they might recognise the Creator through the creation and, despite the unseen, perceive God’s presence in this world. An expert in machines can look at a machine and say, “This machine was made in Russia, or it was made in America, Britain, or Japan.” The same is true for everything in the universe. We are in a world filled with countless natural machines, each continuously performing its function. Although there is no visible label indicating who made these “machines,” their extraordinary design and incomprehensibly excellent performance serve as their declaration of origin. The creations themselves reveal their Creator. Nothing in the universe has words inscribed on it stating who made it. However, in a meaningful sense, each one bears such an inscription. If one has the sight to see, one will proclaim upon observing anything, “Surely, this is made by God. No one else can create it.”
